Talulah's POV
Today everyone gathers on Planet R3 in the Summer Realm, for the first selection. We, being Axle, the kids, and I, all arrived here yesterday. We are currently waiting in the midst of people from all four Realms. Summer, Winter, Autumn, and Spring.
"Oh people of the Seasons! I know you are thinking that we are going to do selection one today and two tomorrow, but there being more than two this time round, we will do them all today. This the reason we called you early morn. Now please stay silent as we announce the selected Flowers or weeds." The Prime Weed of the Planet R3 of the Summer Realm says.
"Snow from the Winter planet W,
Moss from the Spring planet G,
Ebonine from the Autumn planet U2,
Rose from the Winter planet I,
Sylvester from the Autumn planet U2,
Dirt from the Summer planet G,
Dagger from Autumn planet U2,
Keeper from the Autumn planet U2,
Lily from the Summer planet S2,
And lastly our youngest flower selected in over fifty millennia,
Autumn from the Autumn planet U2." The Co Prime Weed reads from a page attached to the bouquet of all the fallen flowers.
I sob into Axles chest. Three of my kids, my Eldest male flowers and my youngest whose only five.
"Sylvester, please take care of your brother and sister." I says, more tears leaking out of my eyes.
"I will Kitchi." Sylvester replies. He then leads Dagger and Autumn away, meeting up with Ebonine and Keeper. Bliss is crying, seeing her twin, Dagger, leave. The two have always been really close. We look and see all the selected standing on the podium. They are leaving now in a wide capsule. The ground shakes, then they are up and gone. What is left of my family we huddle together and cry. Ebonine and Kepper's families join us and we just cry. We are still crying as we walk back to the capsules waiting to take us and other people back to there home planets. We all fit in one. We arrive back home in the wee hours of the next day early morn. We all go to our separate dwellings. My family, as soon as we get inside, go straight to our sleeping quarters and fall asleep. I miss my kids so much!!!
"Axle? Are you awake?" I ask the dark figure next to me.
"Yes Tu, what's wrong?" He replies.
"I miss the kids." I say, choking back fresh tears.
"I do too," Ax says in a calm tone, but my tears fall, "Shhh Tu, they'll be alright."
"But we'll never probably see them again! No flower or weed selected has ever come back!" I exclaim, sobbing.
"Tu, let's not think about that. Let's think positive thoughts. Like, they will come back safe and unharmed. We will be reunited one day." Ax says, in a soft tone, stroking my hair.
I fall asleep and so does he. Today has been stressful.
