Rainbow

I held the small plant in my hand. This is all that remains of the tree. The tree I am so connected to... I felt stronger as I held it close to me. I wonder how it came back... Everyone was looking at me as tears went down my face. It was beautiful... The Guardian smiled.

"It is back, just as it should be." The Guardian watched the single leaf blowing through the wind. It held on to the small stem.

"What should we do with it?" Lucas asked.

"Well! We need to plant it! So it can grow into a big tree again!" I smiled.

"Where is the problem... it's too dangerous and unstable for a tree to grow here." Elemental gestured to the area around us that was destroyed."

"And I want it to be somewhere where it will be safe... So it can't get hurt again..." This will be the tree's third time in life... Each time it was destroyed by a being of evil... I want it to live this time!

"Maybe near the village then?" The Guardian suggested. Blue Steve shook his head.

"No, there is so much fighting there. It was barely safe for us, the sapling wouldn't survive a single day there. Even if it would help all the other steves in the village."

"You're right... Do you guys know any places where it would be safe?" I looked at Lucas, Elemental, and Blue.

"I live in a forest close to the village, but knowing how big that tree is, there is no way I would be able to clear enough space for it. Even then it's too close to the village. The only other place I know about is this one here. Sorry, Rainbow."

"It's okay Lucas!" The small roots of the plant seemed to wrap around the palm of my hand. I took a deep breath to remember as I let a small pool of water form on my hand. There we go, so it doesn't dry out.

"Any places I once knew of are long gone now... I mostly used them for evil anyways, and my dimension is not suited for any plants." Elemental told me. I then looked at Blue.

"I got nothing either... I only lived in cold areas remember? There were the places we explored of course, but I don't know where we could find them, or if any of them are safe today."

"We have been to many places..." I closed my eyes and thought of everything me and Blue Steve saw together. Then the places only I saw... places with a lot of space and warm weather that-

Everyone would have forgotten by now.

"I know a place! I... I remember what the area looked like..." I thought of the green hill, and the fields around it. There was some damage to the area, but not much... not enough to cause any problems to the tree. It was so long ago too that maybe the lands fixed themselves already.

"I can take you there Rainbow, well everyone. Just think of the place." The Guardian told me. I nodded and we all gathered close together. I think of the few memories I had of this place. Where I first woke up... where I was first created. The area around seemed to have changed. The damage from the explosion after I woke has disappeared through time leaving this place smooth and filled with grass and wildflowers. I could see that the stairs for the entrance of the strange lab I was in were now destroyed and covered in moss, on top of the hidden hill was nothing but space. It was more than big enough for the tree.

"What is this place Rainbow?" Blue Steve asked me.

"Where I was first created." I went ahead toward the top of the large hill. "Can someone help me find the center of this place?" I asked.

"I can do that." The Guardian flew up into the air looking down at the hill. I watched him move around before landing on the ground and stepping to the side.
