Soul Flower

Thoughts and Thoughts

The night was quiet, Fruity had decided to stay up and looked at the stars. "So many stars." He said in a whisper, talking to himself. He stared outside for a while, as he suddenly noticed that clouds were starting to form, hiding the stars from Fruity's view. Cloudy night I suppose. Fruity thought, has he then went to bed. Morning came by, but raining like most days. Fruity went outside and decided to relax while in the rain, taking a short walk around the village and to the mountain. Fruity sighed, "How am I supposed to protect a flower from evil? How can evil even use the flower?!" Fruity talked to himself, as he walked back home.
Fruity didn't understand on how to make his father proud. What if I don't protect it? Fruity thought, as he sat outside as the rain started to pour. "Son, are you alright?" The chieftess said, bring Fruity's attention to her. "I'm fine mom. No need to worry!" Fruity said, with an innocent smile on his face. "Okay, sunshine! Are you coming inside?" His mother asked. "No, I'm going to hang outside for a bit if that's okay." Fruity replied. The chieftess nodded and closed the door. Of course I'm not alright. I'm having too much anxiety and stress on just protecting an entire village and a special flower. What can I do? Fruity thought, as the rain clouds were now leaving. Fruity got up and went inside. Maybe it will be easy, Fruity continued to be in thought, but I doubt it would be.

Spook had gotten his things ready for his trip to Midnight Mountain. This better be a good adventure than all the rest. Spook thought, as he remembered all his adventures and how he almost got killed in most of them. "Now that I've got the supplies to last me the trip, I guess I can go now." Spook said, talking to himself. He grabbed his things and opened the door to his new adventure. Spook closed the door when he went out and walked away, summoning a map to Midnight Mountain so he wouldn't get lost. "Why do they have a magic flower when they can use their own magic?" Spook asked. Could they be less advanced then us? Nah. He shook the thought out of his head, there's no way that is possible. Everyone learns the same magic, or it may be different than what they've learned. Spook didn't know yet. He'll find out when he gets there.

Spook's father was going about his day, telling random people about the Soul Flower, hoping people would buy into the story. Guess not. He then decided to walk into a forest and tried to take a break in a cave. "No one is going to believe in me. All because I don't have proof that the flower exists." He said, the caves echoing his words. "Then why don't you go get the proof yourself?" A strange voice echoed in the cave, startling the father. "It seems so easy to just get the proof you want to show." The voice said, but louder. The figure from where the voice was coming from appeared from the shadows. "Who are you?" Spook's father asked. "I'm Lavender. Who may you be?" The voice said. "I'm Iku, Iku Ink." The father replied. "That flower you mentioned to those blinded people, I'm interested. Where is this so called Soul Flower located?" Lavender asked Iku. "It's at Midnight Mountain..?" Iku said, questionably. "Oh goodie! I can't wait to go see this healing flower." Lavender said, excitedly. "Okay, guess I'll talk to you soon!" Iku said, leaving the cave and Lavender alone. "Looks like we've got a new friend." Lavender said, sinisterly, as his snake friend, Tay, slithered to his arm. "Now we can get that flower and use it for something special."

Fruity didn't get much sleep that night. Not because of the thunderstorm going on outside, it was because of the thoughts he was stressing out about. His mind was racing with questions and all were the same. How? Thunder struck and Fruity snapped out of his thoughts. That was verrrry nice, nature. Fruity thought to himself that wasn't about his village or the flower. Maybe he can now relax- Thunder struck again. Maybe not now.

"OH FRICK FRICK FRIIIIIIIIIICK!" Spook yelled, as he tried to find shelter from the storm. "WHERE THE HELL IS THE NEAREST SHELTER OR CAVE?!" he continued yelling into the forest. He didn't see anything but trees. "THIS IS WHY WE CHECK THE WEATHER BEFORE GOING SOMEWHERE!" Spook yelled in the rain, as lightning strikes the sky. Spook's anxiety level went from zero to a hundred in mere seconds. Spook then found an abandoned cottage and went inside for shelter. The anxiety had now just disappeared for now, due to Spook being safe. Hope that dad's okay..
