Poppy's POV

Days have passed since the incident happened and what's worse, more Trolls are getting weak right now. They don't have energy anymore and they can't move much. I need to fix this. I have responsibility for my people.

"Queen Poppy, my son is still weak. What shall we do?" The mother of the sick kid said.

"Um..uhh... Don't worry, we...we can figure things out. Your son will be okay." I said.

"Thank you Queen Poppy." She answered.

After checking the weak ones, I went inside my pod to rest when suddenly, Branch peeked at my window.

"Um, Poppy?" He said while doing a pose.

"Ahh! Oh, it's just you. Heheh..." I said. He looked so funny!

"Can you come with me to my bunker? Help me to get some of the things I left there."

"Okay." I answered.

We went inside his bunker and we were getting some of his stuffs.

"Oh. Wait for me Poppy. I just forgot something in my pod." Branch said as he quickly went into his elevator.

"Okay." I answered.

As Branch was still out, I look around in his old bunker and just saw two little curtains. Hmm... I wonder what's inside.

Because of my curiosity, I opened the curtains without hesitation and saw all of the invitations I gave him, all fixed and was like it was never touched.

"Aww..Branch." I blushed. But I quickly close the curtains when I heard Branch's footsteps.

"Oh h...hey Poppy!" He said and quickly went to the curtains.

"Umm..."

"By the way, I brought a bag so we can carry the things easily." He said as he was showing his bag.

"Oh great!" I smiled.

We continued on getting his things without telling him about the invitations.

Dad called us for a meeting.

"Poppy, I think I know what's the cure." Dad said.

"What is it dad?" I asked.

"The Magical Poppies. If you drink their extract, you will be healed or gain your normal strength."

"Wait whaa? Me? Magical me?" I giggled.

"Uhh.. No I mean, magical 'poppy' flower."

"Ohh. Where is it?" I asked again.

"It's so far away, Poppy. It is located at the top of one of the dangerous mountains called The Shadowed Mountains. They're very dark, steep and full of mysterious creatures... Good thing you only need one flower to heal many people." Dad said.

"Wait, which of the mountains has the magical flower?" I asked.

"Sadly, I don't remember it anymore and I don't know where I have kept my map."

"Who do you think has a map to The Shadowed Mountains?"

"Maybe King Gristle has a map." Dad answered.

"Well then, let's get it!" I said while looking at my friends.

"No, Poppy. It's too dangerous."

"Yes, Poppy. Your dad is right." Creek said as he went near me and patted my arm.

I heard Branch groaned and pulled Creek away from me.
