Note to reader: I have given up on this story due to lack of inspiration and lack of a planned story. Please instead read my new work "Searching for Forever" which I believe is more exciting and more in the spirit of D&D.
It was a lazy afternoon. The sun was shining its warmth upon the world with the occasional interruption of mammoth clouds rushing by. I sat under the shade of an oak tree. The thick dark, green grass was cool. I looked upon the field of yellow and purple flowers. Unorganized but spread evenly throughout. Within the field there were mounds of flowers. Each was waist high and three feet in diameter. On top of the mounds were a multitude of bees buzzing around gathering their life giving nectar. I closed my eyes and listen to the constant hum of the nearby honey workers. My mind soon becomes blank and ready to shut down for a while. That's when I am jerked back into the real world when I hear a foreign sound interrupting the symphony of the insect hum.
"Hey Aust. I know I would find you near your bees." said Rellena, my twin sister. Rellena's Platinum blond hair seemed to be glowing against the sun. I noticed the new pixie haircut.
"Cutting our hair short are we?"
"Well, yea. I thought I would give it a more exotic look, and it would also be nice to spend less time cleaning three feet of hair." answered Rellena as she sat down next to me, wrapping her hands around me in an affectionate hug. "It was such a lazy afternoon. This day was sucking all the energy out of me."
She then placed her head on my shoulder and I couldn't resist, so I slept. The humming of the bees was as potent as a lullaby.
. . . . .
The sun shined upon my face, making me see red light through my eyelids. My brain started to slip into consciousness as it prepared for a new day. I turned my head away from the sun before opening my eyes to the world. I noticed Relena wasn't there. That's o.k. She usually leaves early in the morning to commute to her job. Almost an hour's walk from here. As for me, I don't really have a job. Well other than being apprenticed to Sensei Baker. It is a very lax apprenticeship protecting the forest from unbalance. Especially since our town of Mellena is on the outskirts of the Ductilian empire. I stretched my arms out and yawn. When I opened my eyes again I saw my cat, Sese, running towards me.
"Hay Sese."
"Meow."
I rolled my eyes. "And you say I sleep too much."
"Meow."
"Fine Sese, let's go to The Grove." The Grove is the training ground in which Sensei and I practice Druidism. I am after all an apprentice Druid.
