                The Enchanted Forest stirred as white golden lights sprinkled through its depth. The trees swayed without a breeze, the flowers blossomed in the dead of night, and weeds flourished as beautifully as roses. The roots of the forest were also delighted by the feeling. The grass blades reach as high as they could, wanting to grasp onto the balls of light that floated down.

                A single blade of grass reached this goal. The second the light touched the grass tip, the ball burst, swirling around the grass. The grass blinked once, then twice, realizing it had knowledge it once did not have. The grass looked around and also noted that it was able to move, that it had eyes. These words flowed to its mind, not previously knowing what they meant. It gazed curiously, down at its hands, its feet, even the leaf like dress that flowed around her as she sat on the forest floor.

                Glancing up, the grass smiled wide with its... lips. It noticed Forester's approach and soon the grass found its very own voice, "Father, father! What's happened, I feel so very different!" its voice was small and sweet, like that of a fairy or butterfly.

                Forester stood before the small green girl that was still sitting among the ground. Reaching down, he lightly grasped her arms and helped her to stand. The girls honey brown eyes looked confused as she stared down at the ground while being lifted up.

                "Oh my goodness! Father, I'm taller!" She smiled, not fully understanding what had happened to her, yet happy all the same.

                Forester's white fire eyes softened as he placed his hand on her soft, plump green hair, it still felt as soft as grass. "You, along with the Enchanted Forest, have been giving new life. Khaos has been far too active lately, and what is worse, my sister Ariette, has woken up in a rage. The ogre's were killed off, so the forest shall now be a new species. My child, you shall be named Grass Arbusto. The Lady of the Forest." He smoothed out her hair and kissed her on the forehead, "Go and explore, young one. I shall keep an eye on you. Find the other members of the forest."

                Forester's body glowed bright white before vanishing in a flash of white flames. Grass shrunk back in fear but realized the flames did not easily catch her like they would in the past. Her body, however, still shivered in fear. The trauma of forest fires stuck in her mind... she was afraid. She did not like fire.

                Wobbling on her feet, Grass tried to take a few steps forward and fell to her knees, "Okay, Grass, father is relying on you. Use the feet!" she whispered to herself. 

                Once again, she stumbled to her feet and began to walk. It started off slow at first but after a few hours she was starting to get the hang of it, even though she was using the trees as support. The world was so different to her now, she could still feel and hear the forest, the trees who supported her giggled, telling her she looked kind of cute wobbling like that. Which turned Grass' cheeks pink. However, she could now see the forest. It was... beautiful.

                When she finally let go of the trees, she smiled as her hands were held out to her sides, "I think I got it, haha!" however, soon she tripped over something and squeaked as she hit the grass below her, "Ow... sorry, siblings." The grass tickled her everywhere, telling her it was alright.

            "What did I trip... on..." her voice trailed off as she turned her head and noticed another small girl, who was also green but her waist was surrounded by a large pink lily, she also had two more pink lilies on either side of her head, her light green hair was short, reaching her shoulders as she gazed curiously at Grass with amber brown eyes. Her body was pretty much bare for the pink lilly on her waist and the two pink petals that covered her small breasts.
