Frosty weather
Chapter 1: The name is Flora
(Mother Nature POV)
Darkness, that's the first thing I remember. It was dark, and it was cold and I was scared. I felt something hard underneath me then; all of a sudden something wrapped around my arms and raised me up. I opened my eyes and saw what it was.
Two vines were carefully lifting me up in the air, and then placed me back on my feet. Another vine approached me and dusted me of.
I was so scared I didn't know where I was or how I got there. But then, then I saw the moon, it seemed to chase the darkness away. And when it did, I wasn't scared any more. Why I was there and what I was meant to do … that I'd never now, and a part of wondered if I ever will.
I looked around me and saw that I was on a cliff. 'How did I get here' I asked myself over and over again. All I wanted to do was get of this cliff and somewhere safe.
'You can do it' I heard a voice whisper but I didn't know where it came from. It sounded so soft and comforting. 'You can do it' I heard again. I knew it meant me no harm. But I still didn't know what it wanted me to do. 'You can do it, just whisper to the plants and you will be safe' that time I knew where the voice came from.
It came from the moon, it seemed a little odd to listen to the moon but I did.
All I could think of was getting of this cliff. So I whispered to then vine next to me to give me a hand. And as if on cue it wrapped itself around my waist and carried me down to the ground.
'What am I' I thought to myself. Then I heard the moon talking to me again. 'You are Flora. Spirit of the nature and everything in it. But people know you as Mother Nature. It is your job to keep the world in balance. You mean to the world much more then you think. You will find that out later. For now farewell my friend' Flora, that's a nice name.
But what did he mean when he said spirit of nature. I didn't know the answer to that, not until later.
I blinked a couple of times and just stared at the moon for a couple of seconds more when I saw something glowing next to me. I slowly approached it and saw it was just another vine. But there was something different about this one, it looked different, it looked almost like a whip.
Then it started to move. I wanted to move away but I couldn't, something told me to stay.
The whip crawled up my arm and to the tip of my fingers. Then, it stopped. It seemed to wait for me to give it an order or something. I wanted to know if I could use it as a weapon. Then as fast as lightning it moved from the tip of my fingers and in to the palm of my hand.
The rest of it let go of my arm and lay on the ground. It looked like an actual whip. It was awesome. I started whipping things all around me.
I was really good at this. I got tired after a bit and laid my back on an old tree stump. The whip crawled up my hand again but this time when it reached the tip of my fingers… it turned in to a ring. It looked beautiful.
I started to wonder what else I could do. The moon said I was the spirit of nature and everything in it. So that could mean I could control plants, but what about everything else in nature. I slowly turned my head to the little pond not far away from me.
I raised my right hand towards it, and thought of something. And sure enough the water started to rise. I slowly moved my hand to the left and the water followed then I moved it to the right and it followed me again.
Then I started to move my hand towards me and the water changed in to a large bubble and came to me. It was amazing and I was thirsty too. I needed something to drink the water out of.
The ring on my finger quickly turned in to a bowl made out of leafs and I was so amazed that I dropped the water bubble. So I created another one and placed the water inside the leafy bowl.
I drank the water as fast as I could because I wondered what else the ring could do.
It could shape shift in to all kind of things. I tried everything: a sword, bow and arrow, knife, nun chucks, sai, a bow- staff, but my favorite was the whip. I wondered what else I could do. A smile spread across my face. The ring started shifting again as a heard a chirp.
When I opened my eyes there it was a little humming bird. It was so adorable. It looked so real. When another idea came to mind 'If I could create a little bird, what about my own pair of wings?' and so I did I thought about wings.
Wings that could take me of to the sky so that I could be free. And sure enough a big pair of fairy like wings appeared on my back.
I quickly stud up and gently but quickly started to flap my wings. It didn't seem to do much so I flapped harder and got a little of the ground. I wished some won could help me, like the wind or something. Then I thought, the wind was a part of nature too so basically I could control it. A grin spread across my face as I commanded the wind to lift me up in the air.
And it did it lifted me up high and the wings were a nice touch, they provided a greater effect. I didn't really need them. I was up high; I was so excited that I forgot about the wind. It stopped blowing.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I screamed as I fell to the ground. I closed my eyes and waited for my body hit the ground. But the ground never came. I stopped in mid air as I slowly opened my eyes.
My head slowly turned to see my back, what I saw made me so happy; I saw my fairy wings flapping. I started doing all sorts of tricks and flips and I was a-maze-in.
So as far as I knew I could fly two ways: using may wings or the wind. I flew to a little village nearby so some won could tell me where I was.
'Hello, hello' I told to people who passed by me but they seemed to just be ignoring me, I didn't mind. 'Hello, excuse me could you tell me where I am?' I asked a little boy who was playing whit his friends. I didn't exactly know what happened next but he walked Wright throw me like I wasn't even their like I was a ghost or… or… a spirit! So that's what he meant. I literally was a spirit, no one could see me. I walked out of the village with tears in my eyes.
But that was a long time ago!
