The Problems of Another World

Flower Power

Renner, and Izzi walked languidly back towards the tree in the box, discussing the insanity that they each, independently saw. As they approached this time there was a being that seemed to be standing in it looking out to them and waving. The shock of the sight made the pair move a little faster. Then before even they knew it, they were there staring at ZYG, A holographic version of him. The tree branches bent together to allow the blue myst to condense in some areas, causing a hologram to appear. As for the bioluminescent form it was that of a man whose Myst bends to form the image of several humanoid forms all at once. As if unsure what to look like.

"He..l..l...o hue...manns." he said like it was its first time speaking English. "I... am greet...ful." it concluded in an semi alien manner.

"It's nice to meet you." Renner said extending his hand foolishly. But to his surprise the hologram reached out with a wispy human hand and grabbed Renner's. The grip was light but it was there. Renner shook the mysty form with a kind of reverence and awe. Izzi stayed back and let Renner take charge of the situation. And he did it well. His first question was "can you send us back?"

ZYG waited a moment the responded "Yes..." there was a pause. But, instead of listening, Izzi just walked away. Otto came walking out of Izzi wearing loose shorts and plain white t-shirt, holding a half-eaten burrito.

"Hannah I would love to but... they aren't.... Here... "He trailed off sounding, more than a little exasperated." Otto was in awe of everything he was seeing. As if remembering he felt Hannah's worry and said his mouth is somehow both full and. agape at the vast mountain "Hannah's missing you Izzi" said mouth full and then he swallowed the last of his bite.

Izzi winched Hannah. Hannah stepped out bare footed. With a bright white dress with two black pockets sewn in with skill. Hannah stepped out turned around and there Izzi saw it. Clear as day little Comma leaped out of Hannah's left pocket and into Izzi's pocket the little thing was sending out a feeling of love. Izzi looked at Hannah "you feel that?"

Hannah took Apostrophe out of her pocket to give her a closer inspection when she heard the little creature was sneezing out a feeling telling her it felt hungry. "Aww he's hungry." Otto, feeling the sneeze as well, offered some veggies from his burrito. Comma chittered gratefully chewing on the veggie as Izzi explained the situation to them on a short walk to the forest and back.

When they got back to the tree, Renner was walking up to them. "Well, his English got considerably better as we spoke." Renner said as the three approached. Giving a hug to his siblings

"How do we get back home?" Izzi asked.

Renner sucked air through his teeth. "You should have stayed. He says if we want to go home, we need to go through security." The set of them walked back into the box containing the tree. Renner introduced them to ZYG. "So do your best to tell us about security?"

There was a brief pause before answering "It is...not enemy... made of a... living metal... it can take any form but it cannot change shade. Trewn...it is named...you must... make it friends... or die."

"How do we make it 'friends?" Otto asking mouth partially full of the last bit of the burrito. Hannah shot him a look that piggybacked a little shame for his lack of manners.

ZYG didn't seem to notice all it said was "there is something hidden... in the mountain.... Only the one with the most... goodness can... use it." the word goodness took him a second.

"what are we looking for?" otto asked

ZYG was thinking "a flower, with a seat."

Hanna asked the next question "where are you?"
