*Tangled Up

Prologue

Hundreds of years ago

Elara was growing desperate. Eighty years of age was not enough for her. Tearing through the pages of her family's books, she scrambled to search for a remedy for age. Unfortunately, she found nothing—which was obvious since her entire family was dead.

Until she remembered the flower created by a drop of the Sun. It's power could heal from broken bones to melting flesh. Can it not do the same for time?

Four months it took to find it even with the map, and her bones nearly gave out from stumbling through the bushes. Her frail hands gripped the stem of the flower, and she sang,

"Flower, gleam and grow.

Let your power shine.

Make the clock reverse,

bring back what once was mine,

What once was mine."

In an instant, her skin smoothed out, her muscles no longer felt weary, and her unkempt gray hair was once again an ashy blonde. She felt beautiful and sharp, not wanting to share this gift with anyone else. So she took a bundle of leaves, and twigs, creating a bush to hide the glow. Satisfied with her work, she set off to build another home close to her magic flower.

Yes, this idea has come alive. The next update is in two days from now.

This is the third writer signing off for now.🙂
