Ok, I'm back. I've got some time on my hands so I'm updating this. I expected at least one other review but, eh, I don't care right about now. I'm in one of those moods where nothing has any meaning to me.

Elektra headed into the Dark Forest and stopped, pulling the piece of parchment out of her pocket, reading the notes she took. The first thing on the list was Angelica. By the description and picture of the herb, she was looking for an aromatic plant with large white flowers. It has a smooth dark purple stem has dark green leaves divided into 3 parts, each which are divided again into three serrated leaflets. It would be growing in the moist soil near stream banks.

She carefully looked around and found a stream of water. She came to a stop, seeing how right across on the other side was the herb she seeked. Elektra carefully hopped across the stream, on the larger rocks jutting out from the water. She made it across, and picked the plant carefully and easily moving along to the next plant on her list.

Cinquefoil. This particular herb would be someplace in the dry soil, most likely wherever alot of sun shone. The roots are long and slender, branching at the top from several crowns, from which solitary long-stalked leaves would arise. They would have small yellow flowers that would be open.

Elektra wandered around on the opposite side of the stream, searching for the flowers. She had no luck. Next to her, was a small cliff. She took a few steps back from it, looking up. The sun had a clear shot at the top and there seemed to be something growing there. The soil had to be dry up there. Elektra grabbed hold of some vines growing on the rocks and began to climb up the stoned cliff. She had nearly made it when she lost her footing and nearly slipped off. She gripped harder onto the vine and pulled herself up, steadying her footing. She continued to climb, until she pulled herself over the edge. She layed on her back, breathing hard to what might have happened if she fell. She turned to her side and saw the green stemmed, small yellow flowered plant. She stood up and grabbed some of the herb. As Elektra walked back to the edge of the cliff, she put the plant in her mouth, biting it in her teeth to hold it into place and carefully took her time getting back down to the ground. She had managed to make it to ground safely, and picked up the Angelica plant which she had placed on the ground. She took the Cinquefoil out of her mouth and began searching for...

Dandelion. The unbelievably fast growing and spreading herb, it can grow almost anywhere. It was easy to spot, after all, easy to say green stalk and the flower heads were round yellow and fuzzy. Elektra thought about which direction she could head for that. She simply turned around, back to the cliff, and saw on the ground, dandelions. "Well, that was easy." She said outloud. She bent down and pulled the herbs out of the soil. Now she had to find...

Passionflower. The last on the list. This would grow in thickets. Passionflower has many beautiful large and aromatic flowers, it grows very quickly and produces edible fruit. It has large three lobed serrated leaves with beautifully intricate purple and white sweet-scented flowers. The passion fruit, when ripe is yellow-green and the size of a small hen's egg. It would be edible when the fruit was soft and light yellow-green. Elektra continued walking, searching for a thicket. Within 10 minutes, she found it. There on the ground were the flowers. She picked the ones with ripe fruit and was finally finished. "Finally! I'm done." Elektra turned around and began following her way back to the castle. Luckily, she recognized her surroundings and found the stream, crossing over it, she came upon the castle in sight. Now all she had to do was prepare the herbs, as long as she wasn't too late ...

Short, boring, I know. I told you I was in one of those moods. I will say, it'll get better for you guys. Violence, suspense, shocking twists, and ugh, fluff. Read, Review, I type, fluffy junk will come up, yep. Review, it will make me happy when I get out of this mood. So, excuse me while I go find a container for my joy. Bye.
