It is a lovely day in the town of Tazmily. We can see Mapson making maps, a mother-daughter duo making delicious nut bread, and Jessie being the front desk man of the Yado Inn.
Tazmily Town is a peaceful place where everyone interacts with each other. There is no form of any currency. They are there whenever there is a fellow friend or neighbour in need. They cared for everyone as much as they cared for mother nature.
The sun shines well today, but there is one family, living just south of the main town, beyond some trees, and we can see a wooden house, with a dog house in front and barn with visible sheep. In there is a simple family who lives happily, Flint and Hinawa, along with their twin children, Lucas and Claus, with the latter being the older, with their dog, Boney.
They are currently having breakfast with the twins' favorite dish, omelettes. "Thank you Mom! These omelettes are the best!", Claus excitedly savour his meal with his brother smiling beside him, devouring this fluffy egg heaven on his plate.
"Be sure to eat well, I just made enough for everyone." A sweet voice said, which is their mother, Hinawa.
"Yes mom!" Lucas is now the one who answered with a bigger smile on his face.
Claus is energetic, brave, adventurous, and more out-going than his brother. Aside from the fact that he is older, by a few minutes, he has orange hair and green eys, two noticable differences from the two. He spends more time tending the sheep with his father Flint, than his twin does.
Lucas is the younger one. Timid, somehow reserved, but is still adventurous. Has blonde hair and blue eyes. He knows how to cook. Also, he is more known to help his mother along the house work, which at one time Claus found really girly, and that made him cry. Lucas, is in fact really is a crybaby actually.
As they continued eating, the twins looked at each other and straight to their parents, and called their attention, "Mom, Dad?"
"What is it sweet hearts?" Hinawa asked, looking at the twins.
"We are wondering if we can go out today?" Claus asked.
"To have a picinic!" Lucas continued.
She looked at her husband with an approving face and answered with a smile, "of course".
"Be sure to be back before the sun sets." Flint ruffling the twins' hair while smiling.
The boys smiled as they chorused, "Thank you!"
When they finished breakfast, they quickly prepare a basket, their mother made sandwiches, while their father picked some fruits.
And they left, but not without kissing their mother's cheek and hugging their father.
Now, they're on a journey to go to their picnic place. With one of their hands holding a side of the basket, this is a trip to the hidden sunflower field which the discovered a few days prior.
"Say, Lucas..." Claus said, getting the attention of his twin.
"Yes Claus?" Lucas responded.
"Should we bring mom and dad to the sunflower fields someday?" Claus asked, while walking in the forest.
Lucas nodded, "We should, after all, mom loves sunflowers."
The forest is nice, aside from some snakes and a few branches here and there. Air is fresh, so as the breeze. It takes 30 minutes to trek from their house to the fields.
Going off-road, they took a turn where a path was never forged. Many vines that covered the area was chopped off, well, they recently just discovered it, after all.
