'' In this world, plants are important. They give us oxygen, food, flora, and beauty. But as usual, humans can't leave anything alone. We deforest, burn, and build. I wish i could find a new world. Untouched by humanity, safe from our clutches. '' 

she closed her journal and sighed heavily, if only if only. She stood up and shelved her journal in her nearly rotted bookshelf. It was amazing that it was still going strong. But then, she had always been one good at taking care of her things. Seren took a deep breath, trying to shake off her worries and frustrations. She knew that moping wouldn't solve anything. She was about to head out of her small plant-filled room when suddenly, a knock on her door interrupted her thoughts. "Come in," Seren called out, curious about who could be visiting her at this hour. The door opened slowly, revealing a familiar figure.

Rumors, reports, drawings, and stories told by people who claim to have seen it. All of it points to the existence of this miraculous flower. I just need someone who knows plants as well as you do to help me find it."

Seren considered his words carefully. While the idea of such a flower sounded incredible, she couldn't deny the determination in Dr. Anderson's voice. She was also intrigued by the challenge of finding something so elusive and rare she'd try..
