Chapter Three: Who Are You?

I sighed as I sat down on the lowly-cut nyasi inayofuata to a mti who had kindly suggested me to sit near him. The mti was planted in The Enchanted Garden and there were only several trees, but big ones. Helia had left to go back to his planet named Artix earlier during the siku after he stayed with me to keep me company. Being at nyumbani with the quietness around, didn't make me feel better so I had decided to come to The Enchanted Garden so that I can ease my mind a littl. Beside me was a single rose that was not planted ner a kichaka of roses of lilies. It looked lonely and I felt sorry for the rose. "Hello there." I greeted the rose with a kind and gentle tone. The rose's petaled head turned towards me and it smiled a small smile. It was alisema that when a baby is born on Linphea, a plant au a maua, ua grow the same time as the baby.

"Hello." A small voice came from the rose. "Are wewe Rose's older sister?" I nodded with a smile. "I know her." The rose spoke again, her bright red eyes shone with excitement. But then she sighed, the excitement disappeared almost instantly. "I can see that she had become something." At that, my eyes widened. The rose noticed and she asked me to touch her stem. As soon as I did, I saw picha of Rose. Except it wasn't Rose. It was a girl who had dark purple streaks in her short cropped auburn hair, and she wore a black dress that had dead, black flowers on the skirt, upindo of the dress. She wore knee-high boots with dark purple heels and her eyes were dark purple. If wewe looked at those eyes, you'd see that there could be a dark, evil secret lying behind them. A secret that would make your muscles obstruck, even though you're trying to tear away your gaze from them.

I quickly drew back, the picha vanished completely as I did so. I close my eyes as I felt a headace coming through. "Hey, are wewe okay?" I heard a girl's voice beside me. I turned my head slowly, so slowly because the pain was still there. I only saw two white heels of a person. "I'm...fine." I alisema weakly. The person sat down inayofuata to me and only then did I see the person closely. It was a girl who looked to be about sixteen years old. She wore a dark purple dress with a dark red ribbon around her waist as her ukanda and white strap heels, as I figured. The girl's skin was as pale white as the snow and peachy as a angel's skin, her eyes were as blue as the sea and her hair was bright pink with red streaks made in two short pigtails.

"You don't look so good." The girl pointed out with a smile. "Let me help." She raised a hand and it started to glow as she waved it across my face. Stars of magic fell from her fingertips and onto my face. All of a sudden, the headace was gone. I blinked astonished, for several sekunde before I sighed, relieved. 'It wasn't a dream.' I thought. I looked the pink-and-red headed girl who had her chin on her knees and her arms wrapped around the. "Thank you." I said. The girl looked up and smiled at me again. "You're welcome." she nodded. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm Marangely Bow. But wewe can call me Mara for short. And you?" The girl asked. "My name's Flora Hathaway." I told her. Mara looked down, still smiling. "Are wewe named after a maua, ua on Linphea?" I asked.

Mara nodded. "Mmm-hmm." She looked up at the sky. "I'm named after a rare pink and purple maua, ua that has blue sparkles. That maua, ua can only be found in The Forgotten Forest Glade, but I always thought it's an extinct." "Why is that?" I asked, surprised. All flowers on Linphea were never an extinct. "You can't find that maua, ua in The Forgotten Forest Glade and it would probably take months, maybe years, for wewe to tafuta for it." Mara explained, picking at the nyasi beside her. "Well, I know one thing." I alisema to her. Mara looked at me. "All flowers on Linphea are never extinct." "Yeah, I know that." Mara alisema quietly. "Do wewe want to come over at my place? I'm sure my Mom would like to see you." I suggested.

But Mara shook her head. "I'm supposed to be nyumbani kwa six au else my Mom will be worried sick." She explained. "Oh." I alisema sadly. "But...will I see wewe again soon?" I asked, hopefully. "Sure." Mara smiled as she stood up. "I'll probably see wewe around soon." She told me. I nodded. "Okay." I alisema before I watched Mara take off in a sprint down the path inside The Enchanted Garden and disappear around the corner. I sighed, still smiling. 'I guess my Mom will free too if I'm not nyumbani either.' I thought before standing up and walking away.

I was too wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't notice the rose had become despaired and full of grief. "Flora..." she whispered, watching me.
