"Yes?...Who's there?" Hikari came out of hiding and bowed real low. Not only to show respect, but to hide her embarrassment. "My...My names Hikari-chan. Mayor...Hamilton wanted me to go around and meet everyone. So uh here i am." Hikari laughed nervously. She stood up to get a better look at the Wizard. He was handsome. That was for sure. He had dark silver hair that covered part of his face, and came down to a braid that rested on his shoulder. He had a white tattoo under his left eye. Very tan, and piercing green eyes. Wait no. Hikari looked closer...His left eye...was...gold? How odd. He wore a long blue cloak that had little feathers and stuff on it, and white pants.
The Wizard looked at her and sighed. "The mayor shouldn't waist my time with such trivial matters as this." And turned away. "Hey..." Hikari started to say. "Well, you've met me, so you may go now." Hikari was shocked...After she had taken up for this guy he was going to act rude to her? Of course he didn't know that but still...it wasn't very polite. "Erm. Okay...i guess. Good-bye. Wizard-kun." The Wizard looked at her, but Hikari had turned and walked out the door.
"Fhew. That took forever!" The little Harvest Sprite complained. "Oh shut it Finn. You weren't even there for half of it." Hikari snapped. Finn looked taken aback. "Did that Wizard guy put you in a bad mood?" He asked. Hikari didn't answer. The rest of their walk home was silent...
Hikari, walked into her house, took of her shoes, and went straight for the shower.
She turned the water on hot, got undressed and stepped in.
Why did the Wizard act like that? What did she do to him? Maybe he doesn't like company. But still...i was new and didn't know that. So he could've been a little nicer. Couldn't he? Maybe i should go talk to him about it. But that would be going against everything i am. Talking to someone i barley know. I usually just keep to myself...but i can't help it. That thought keeps bothering me.
She stepped out of the shower and wrapped her body up in a white towel, and did the same to her hair. She dried off. And got into her black and yellow starry night pajamas. Hikari laid on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. Why couldn't she get this thought out of her mind? It was bothering her. And it bothered her even more that she couldn't figure out why. She had always been intrigued by people such as him. But her being the shy one, of course never did anything about it.
Then she came to a decision. She was going to go exploring some more tomorrow, then confront the Wizard. Hikari smiled to her self, and she heard Finn chuckle in the distance, obviously seeing her smile. She rolled over and faced the wall and drifted off into a nice slumber.
Dawn came the following day a lot sooner than she expected. It felt as though she had just laid down 7 minuets ago, and the sun was telling her to get out of bed. She got up and got dressed. Then she went outside and tended to what few crops she had. Some strawberries and turnips. It was Spring after all.
Hikari had liked life on the farm so far. It was fun to watch the plants grow day by day. Even though she had only been here a few days herself. But none the less.
After business was taken care of. Hikari decided to venture further into that Garmon Mine District she found a few days ago. She retraced her steps up the side of the mountain and crossed a river on an old bridge. She looked at the waterfall. It was absolutely beautiful. Although. The way the water flowed. It just seemed...lifeless. Somehow. Then she remembered what Finn had said. She needed to meet the Harvest Goddess. Since she was already in Garmon Mine District. She walked where Finn directed her into what was called, the Harvest Goddess Spring. The grass needed some serious mowing, and there were collapsed buildings everywhere, and a pond in the middle of it all with a little bridge made out of rock. How convenient. She was in sort of a pessimistic mood after not getting enough sleep. Yes even the tame shy hikari, could also be a huge female dog.
"Harvest Goddess. I brought Hikari-chan!" Where was this 'Harvest Goddess' that Finn was talking too. all Hikari saw in front of her was a almost dead tree.
A few moments later, a beautiful woman in a green dress with long green hair, appeared from the both of them. Hikari was stunned. It made her feel a bit self conscious about her own look. She fidgeted with her jacked, as the Harvest Goddess explained the situation to them. She told them, how the land was dieing. And how the five element bells were missing. And they needed the power of the Harvest God to revive the land but he was nowhere to be found.
This speech was long, and Hikari agreed to help. The Harvest Goddess was thrilled and bid her well. They left. Hikari still wanted to explore, so she walked into the first place she saw. Accessory Shop. Looked fun. She wanted to look inside. She smiled and opened the door.
