Hello this is DreaNomNomx3 (aka: EvilGiggles13 :P) and may I present another dumb story :D
(As you can see I changed my penname but I did it for security reasons :P LONG STORY!)
Nah but the idea for this story overwhelmed me because I seriously think it would make a FANTASTIC story! I've never myself have read a MollyxFinn story ( and if there is one I did not mean to steal any ideas :/) and I thought well what the hell! I should make one ^^
And so I did(: I'm into this idea that I'm planning to make a doujinshi of this story :D Of course I'm going to practice my art skill before I do that…but nonetheless there will be one in the future if this story ends up successful ^^ (and I hope it does)
Anywho this is barely the first step of what I hope can be a good story (one that I plan to complete unlike my others…) Of course Molly wont fall in love with a sprite fairy but one day lets just say Finn is going to "grow up and change" ^^
Well I'm going to quite stalling and let you read this chapter… Enjoy ^^
I wept as I watched the Harvest Goddess die slowly right in front of my very own eyes. She was paler, her eyes were more sunken, and her half-closed turquoise eyes seemed to be barely gripping the last remains of hope within them. Her hands clutched up to her mouth in a prayer position and her halo of matching turquoise hair didn't swirl around like it use to. Instead it just laid there, like sea-worn rope hanging off an out of date boat's dock letting the barely alive wind drift it in its casual path of the day. Even her own dress, made of the most deity sown silk and satin, looked bleached out and faded of its god-like radiance. It was a pitiful sight to see…the dying goddess with the mood identical goddess tree in the back ground. It was still hard to believe that such a power-wielding life-form could die so easily due to human ignorance and greed. His superior, his creator, his mentor…his mother. She was always kind to him even though he was the smallest sprite to ever exist and the most teased on by all the other sprites. He always begged of her to change him, to make him equal. But no matter she always refused with a smile and said, "You are equal to them even if you don't see it that way, very unique in your own way."
He started to bawl even more at the thought of bad memories. His cries awoke the Goddess as she tilted her head upward towards him with her still half-lidded eyes. A soft ghostly smile graced on her face to see her beloved sprite had returned.
"Finn…" she whispered startling the frenzied sprite, his eyes red and swollen from crying for a while.
"I'm s-sorry, Goddess I didn't m-mean to w-wake you." He struggled to apologize while choking back tears. The Goddess extended her hand towards him, beckoning to him to come closer as he did on cue.
"There's no reason to fret, Finn. You did nothing wrong. You never have. I'm very glad you have woken me. There's something important that must be done." She said in her serene voice. Finn looked at her with alarm embezzled on his face.
"What is it?" he asked not bothering to hide his deep worry. The Goddess closed her eyes and her smile broadened with joy that seemed to have been lost for centuries.
"A very important mission is in store for you, Finn. Are you ready to hear what it is before you accept it?" she said. Finn nodded his little head rapidly.
"Oh course, Goddess! I've already accept! Anything to help you out!" he saluted making the Goddess chuckle quietly to herself.
"There is a girl moving into the abandoned farm not to far from here. Her name is Molly Mori. Your mission is to bring her here as soon as possible once she has arrived. Okay?" she ordered in a slight firm voice, scrutinizing on its importance very much. Finn's face turned from excited to disappointed hoping he was going to get an adrenaline monster battling mission to prove his importance to the other sprites. Upset, Finn nodded his understanding to the Goddess. The Goddess patted Finn's little head hoping he wasn't too disheartened about his mission.
"This is just the very beginning of a life changing adventure, Finn. Don't be too dissatisfied, there is more to come." She spoke in her best cheerful voice hoping that Finn would be a bit happier. Her plan must've worked since a large grin appeared on his once solemn face as he looked at the Goddess with eagerness in his beady eyes.
"Ok! But where is this…Molly?" he asked enthusiastic once more. The Goddess closed her eyes for a short while as if scanning a map imprinted on her eyelids. Once she opened her eyes she smiled and gave slight nod.
"Cain is bringing her down the trail towards his ranch right about now. You know where that is right?" Finn nodded assuring that he knew. But just as he was about to fly off he stopped and a confused expression started to spread on his face like wildfire. The Goddess tilted her head perplexed at Finn's sudden stop.
"What's wrong?" she inquired. Finn scratched his head and looked up at the Goddess.
"But she's human right?" Finn said in a befuddled tone. The Goddess nodded.
"Then how will she be able to see me?" finally spitting out his reason. The Goddess gently laughed.
"Oh she'll be able to see you. Don't worry." She reassured waving it off. The sprite still floated in the same spot, confused still.
"But how is that possible?" he quizzed in bewilderment. She smiled warmly and folded her hands in front of her in a cupped position.
"Farmer's intuition? No one really knows but it's usually nature bounded people who can see sprites and gods. Now go! Before she already arrives!" she hurried the still-perplexed sprite who sputtered out a final goodbye before rushing off to his destination. The Goddess eyes shone with something remarkable gleaming deep within them, something that hadn't shone in ages and finally made an appearance…hope.
"Errg where is that girl human with that other dude human?" Finn mumbled as he flew over a bush. He was in the path the Goddess told him to go but nothing was there but a dirt road and grass. He was about to turn around and look somewhere else until he heard humming and a horses' trotting steps. Finn turned back around as quickly as he could and went towards the humming and trotting until he found a Cain on a horse drawn wagon with nothing but hay in the carriage truck.
"Where's the other human?" He mumbled in frustration until he saw brown hair peeking out over the hay. He flew quickly over to the hay carriage to find a short haired brunette girl who looked about 17 or 18 sleeping soundly on the barrels of hay. She had pale skin with long eyelashes brushing her natural pink blushed cheeks. Her soft pink lips mumbled little words as she talked lightly in her sleep and her clothes and work boots looked worn but comfortable saying that she wasn't dressed to impress. In other words she looked like another plain girl, nothing special. I floated over to her and poked at her face making her groan in frustration and swatting at me like I was a bug or something. I kept poking at her until see got really mad and successfully swatted me, making me crash to the side of the hay filled carriages wooden barrier. My eyebrows scrunched angrily as I mumbled a few curses under my breath. I rolled up my tiny sleeves and flew right over her ear and screamed as loud as I could.
"HEY! WAKE UP!" I screeched. Her eyes flew wide opened showing her sleepy liquid dark honey colored eyes burn with fury. Her eyebrows scrunched in rage as she rapidly got up and shouted," WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!"
"Huh? Why are you yelling? Did you have a bad dream?" Cain asked worried side glancing at his irritated passenger who was now looking at him confused and frustrated.
"Did you scream in my ear?" she asked still a little ticked off. Cain chuckled as he grabbed a tighter hold onto the horses' reins.
"It's somewhat impossible for me to do that if I'm all the way up here! Hahaha!" he chuckled deeply once more. The girl scratched her head in confusion and started mumbling to herself.
"Have I gone mad? Imagining voices and junk…" she said trying to figure things out. Finn decided it was time to show his presence and floated sneakily behind the girl. He stopped right above her left ear and whispered.
"You didn't imagine that but I completely agree with the 'you've-gone-mad' theory."
The girl's hair stood on end as she slowly turned around saw me finally, waving an evil hello. I prepared myself for her to scream but that never came. Instead she picked me up by the back of my clothes and plopped me right in front of her. There was an awkward silence as she studied me carefully like I was some kind of science project. I covered myself up and stuck my tongue at her childishly. She giggled which totally shocked me. This girl was so odd…
"I haven't seen another one of your kind in ages! Not since I was like 6 or 7 years old!" she whispered quietly, being careful not to be overheard by Cain.
"You used to see Harvest Sprites?" I asked curiously. She nodded cheerfully.
"Still do as you can see that I am talking to you right now, aren't I?" She reminded me. I nodded slowly and dusted myself off from the hay that stuck to me when she dropped me.
"Well you must be wondering why I'm here now, right?" I inquired as I dusted the last piece of hay off me. She placed her index finger on her chin in thought.
"Um…is there something wrong with the Harvest Goddess?" she guessed quietly. My eyes widened in shock as I flew right up to her face.
"How'd the heck did you know!" I demanded as I poked her face. She swatted my fingers away and a frown etched onto her face.
"I just had a feeling…I've been having weird dreams lately about some lady with wings telling me she needed help. I later found out her name was the Harvest Goddess when she told me last night in a dream on my trip over here…I'm guessing you're her messenger, right?" she guessed again correctly. I nodded a bit annoyed that she so much already. I do not know why but it seemed to bug me…She smiled and went back to her nap on the bundles of hay. I just stared at her in amazement. Here I was, a mystical creature only she herself can see, telling her of very important news and she just decides to go back to sleep!... whatever…After a couple of minutes had passed I decided to fly off for a while to see how much longer we would be on this horrid hay ride. Not to long, we were almost there. I saw some old timey styled houses in the distance. I brought myself back to the wagon deciding this was a good time to wake up this chick from her dumb nap.
"HEY! Don't forget that we have to go see the Harvest Goddess right after this! She needs our help and since you're the only one who can see me…" I warned her. She merely stretched out her arms while yawing loudly.
"How much longer, mister?" she asked Cain. He didn't bother to turn around when he replied.
"Not to long, miss! Um...err, what was you're name again?" he asked embarrassed that he forgot though she didn't seem to mind much that he did.
"Molly…Molly Mori, mister…?" she seemed too had forgotten his name as well. Maybe that's why she took no offense to his forgetfulness…but all due respect I had forgotten her name as well…
"Cain. Cain Beck. I'm the owner of Horn Ranch. Since it won't be much longer till we reach your house mind if I ask you a few questions?" he said. Molly nodded and smiled politely.
"Sure go ahead." She gleamed. He returned a smile back before he spoke.
"It's just it's so unusual for young people to want to start up a ranch these days…Well, let me start with this…What's your favorite food?" he quizzed. Molly took no time answering this for she responded quickly.
"Anything edible! Except fish…I despise fish within every inch of me…"she grumbled as if remembering a bad memory.
"I see….And when's your birthday?" he continued. Molly quickly forgot whatever she was reminiscing and answered Cain.
"Middle of summer. The 15th I believe." She said. Cain nodded in approval as he tugged on the reins a bit.
"Gotcha…Anyway, like I was saying, there aren't a lot of ranchers nowadays…I hope that you'll be able to reinvigorate the town." He said with hope in his voice. Molly looked over to the side of the wagon, gazing at the hills and plains covering the entire land. The sun was glowing brightly behind a couple of green hill making the scene look even more memorizing with the yellow and pink hues coming off the gradient filled sky. The clouds looked like purple majesty mountains guarding a fairytale palace while grayed-feathered pigeons flew by with a cheerful tune of today.
"However this place has seen better days…We haven't had any good crops in a while…No one seems to know why…" he sighed while gazing at the path in front of him. I stared back at Molly who still seemed to be breath taken by the landscape that seemed to stretch miles beyond the sky. He could see the excitement in her eyes as she plotted out her perfect future in her mind before closing her eyes peacefully as if to savor the moment.
"Hey, Molly! I know you're excited about finally getting your ranch but remember that we have to go see the Harvest Goddess as soon as we get there, though!...HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!" I shouted. A slight smile crept onto her face enjoying the sound of my irritation as she breathed in the clean, sun soaked air.
"We're here!" Cain finally said waking up Molly as soon as the words left his mouth. She jumped right out of the wagon as fast as she could, totally leaving me behind as she ran towards her new home.
"Ok…" Cain mumbled a bit stunned. I zoomed after the chirpy girl who I was already finding to be quite annoying already…
"Wait! Molly!" I shrieked after her, struggling to catch up. Once I got to her side, out of breath and everything, we both stared at the house in front of us which seemed to be falling apart.
"Uhh…this ranch is pretty beat up…" I muttered to Molly. She nodded her head in agreement.
"Hello! Helloooo!" a squeal voice cheered from behind us. We both turned around to see a stubby man with white flyaway hair smiling at us like he just ate a bunch of cupcakes all to himself.
"Hello! You must be Molly! Welcome to Harmonica Town! I'm Mayor Hamilton!" he greeted in a sickly cheerful voice. He then turned around and pointed to Molly's house.
"Why don't I explain the basics of your ranch? It may look a bit rusty, but with just a little care, it'll look fabulous in no time!" he applauded putting extra empathy on the word "fabulous". Molly just started at the senile guy, and just nodded without saying a word. The mayor didn't seem to care much if she talked or not because he just kept on talking. He turned around and pointed to the patch of dirt growing some flowers, potatoes, and some already ripe turnips.
"Behind you is your own plot of land so you can do your farming!" He smiled even wider which I thought was ridiculously impossible. Meanwhile something clicked in my brain as I stared at the plot of land. I turned towards Molly with an amazed smile on my face.
"Wow, this is great, Molly! You get a house and land for free? What a town!" I exclaimed while Molly smiled back at me. As though Hamilton had heard what I said he reminded her that there was a 5,000G payment she had to pay.
"But don't worry you can pay it off anytime at Town Hall! There's no due date!" he chimed. Molly and my smile disappeared quickly.
"Well, I guess it was too good to be true…" I retorted making Molly sheepishly smiled back to my response. Then Mayor Hamilton snapped his fingers as if he just remembered something important.
"Oh, and I have this for you! It's a map of the surrounding land! I'm sure it will be helpful to get you situated!" he smiled gleefully as he pulled out an aged piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it over to Molly. Molly studied the piece of paper and smiled as she put into a rucksack bag hanging over her hips. The mayor continued smiling as he pulled out a package of tools out of his pocket. My eyes bulged out in bewilderment. How in the heck did he just pull that out of his pocket!
"And I have this for you, too. You'll need this to start a ranch." Molly grabbed the boxed up tools and put it into her little bag that seemed to not even having any trace that there was something in there. I stood there in shock. Do all humans act like they have bottomless pockets? The Mayor pointed towards the east towards a grassy area over the fence on our land.
"You'll find Flute Fields over there. There's a quaint farm and ranch there. They'll help you out with any questions you may have about farming." He informed. He then pointed west to what seemed to be a European-styled town in the distance.
"Opposite Flute Fields is Harmonica Town. It's full of handy things for you to buy!" he educated with a gleaming smile. He then pointed to the northwest part of our farm. A little trail next to a swampy pond that seemed to lead up to a waterfall was located here. I smiled. This trail also lead up to the Harvest Goddess' pond!
"Head this way to get to Garmon Mines! The carpenter and blacksmith are located here!" he exclaimed putting his hand down against his side.
"I've also left you some helpful books on your bookshelf! If you're not sure about something, take a look! It's likely in a book!" he said giggling at his little rhyme. Goodness, I hope the rest of the villagers aren't like him…Molly nodded appreciatively to him, ignoring his weirdness.
"Well, let's start back to Town Hall. Once you're ready, stop by the town!" he said with finality. He waved Molly good-bye before heading off to Harmonica Town. I turned towards Molly who had a big smile on her face as she studied her new farm.
"Well, let's start by naming your ranch, Molly." I said with a smile. Molly rubbed her chin in thought as she looked around hoping for a hint.
"How about…NINJA CANDY FARM!" she exclaimed with a fist pump. I just stared at her.
"Um… no. How 'bout something more sensible?" I smart-mouthed. She crossed her arms while mumbling inaudible words under her breath angrily.
"Fine, bubble burster….How about….ummm…" she groaned as she looked around some more. Then a smile crept on her face.
"I've got it! How 'bout 'Sakura Sky' Farm!" she exclaimed proudly. I smiled warmly.
"Sakura Sky Farm? That's a great name! ~" I applauded. She rubbed her head and blushed.
"Heh thanks!" she muttered with a soft smile. I looked over to the path that Mayor Hamilton pointed out as the path towards Garmon Mines. The Harvest Goddess' request popped into my mind at once.
"We can find the Harvest Goddess in the Garmon Mine area! The path to the northwest should lead us there…" I reminded her but she just turned towards her house and stared at it in wonder.
"All right, now let's hurry up and see the Harvest Goddess…..." I stared at Molly who opened the squeaky front door and skipped into her little house. I waved my arms furiously in the air.
"HEY, MOLLY! YOU'RE NOT LISTENING AGAIN!" I shrieked before flying in the house after her.
That's the end of this chapter ^^
