As Mary Rose X closes her eyes for the last time, she remembers why she's here. She remembers the Mary roses who came before her who fought strong and valiantly so they could complete their prophecies and unite the trees as one, and how she would go down in history as one of them.
***
Mary rose I was always curious as a child. The elders of her tree would always murmur about how she could be a great explorer one day. But, well, that was before the war broke out.
The sky leaves accused the ground leaves of protruding in on their territory, leading a border dispute and eventually to a battle at the circletrees. The citcletrees was a place where ten trees formed an odd circle. This circle was used mainly for religious practices and important ceremonies.
The beautiful haven Mary rose I once knew was replaced by destroyed religious sites and ceremony buildings with casualties littered about. The day the news came out about the destruction of circletrees was the only time Mary Rose I had seen the elders cry. Even though it had been three years since that had happened, She remembered the day vividly.
"Are you alright, Rose?" Mary rose's sister, Petunia, Said. Petunia was quite young when circletrees was destroyed, but still remembered the day just as vividly.
"I-i'm ok." Mary Rose said. There was going to be a tree meeting later that day. Mary Rose was anything but excited for it. At Tree meetings, they usually announced war updates, which usually included things like victories, casualties (if they could be identified), and the status of important areas where they battled.
"Petunia! Rose! The tree meeting is in 10 minutes. get ready." Their mother yelled.
"Coming!" Petunia yelled. Running down the stairs.
Mary rose sighed and followed.(303 words)
