Valentine's Bloom: COUPLES ONESHOTS !!

Fun little stories based in me and my friend's universe. <3

BEGINNING SUMMARY FOR STRANGERS !!

Valentine was born into an evil royal family that lived far to the north. Her mother, was "bullied" and eventually left the family with no trace, while her father neglected Valentine and remarried. His new wife, who Valentine did not get along with, already had a son, who became Val's step-brother and the new heir to the throne.

Valentine, however, became the leader of an underground rebel group made up of peasants and higher-ranking members of the kingdom. At 18, she led the group in escaping the kingdom, traveling long distances in harsh conditions to find a better life far away from the cruelty of their homeland.

Along the way, they received assistance from Thornshade Market, a mysterious, anonymous night market that only becomes active at midnight. Some of the people in the market were kind and helped Valentine and her group, allowing them to continue their journey.

Eventually, the group arrived at a beautiful field, which seemed like the perfect place to settle. However, the field was already home to the Mushroom People, who lived in a more hilly part of the area known as Mushroom Village. The Mushroom People were ruled by an autocratic oligarchy, and their elders met with Valentine to discuss a compromise. In exchange for protecting Mushroom Village, Valentine and her refugees were allowed to stay in the field.

As a gesture of goodwill, the Mushroom elders gifted Valentine a rare cherry tree sapling, which she planted in the center of the camp. The sapling grew into the mother tree of all cherry blossoms, and this magical tree granted Valentine, her original group of refugees, and some of the spores (Baby Mushroom People) small nature-related abilities.

This cherry tree became a symbol of their new life, blending the powers of nature with the strength of their rebellion and the peace they found in the field.
