"So, your mother said she had a mission for a few of us to go on?" Grandpa Sorenson confirmed.

Bracken nodded enthusiastically, "Nothing dangerous," he assured them, "Back when mother destroyed a few shrines, she recently found out a few things had been salvaged from the wreckage. One of which includes a very rare flower that can be quite dangerous in the wrong hands. We are to pick it up before a demon rumored in the area can intercept it."

"And there will be no danger?" Grandpa Sorenson repeated.

"We'll be under the fairy queen's protection." He started, "Plus, the chances of the demon showing how are quite slim and the flower has no side effects of safeguards. Just get in and get out."

"Who do you want to take with you?" Grandpa Sorenson asked.

"I was hoping to take Kendra with me," Bracken said, "Me and her have a connection to light energy so it may be best. I don't think it matters as much who comes, as long as it isn't Vanessa. She has a little bit too much of a dark energy to be around such a pure flower."

Vanessa glared at the unicorn, "Seth has a darker aura than me," she said, "But yet you bring him."

Bracken shrugged shamelessly, "I don't work well with blixes. Especially ones with a dark history, though that is quite common from what I have seen. Not that I doubt it though, these are blixes we are talking about."

Kendra glared at her boyfriend threateningly, as if to tell him to shut up. Cowering, he flinched under her gaze but did also clearly not back down.

"Well, we can't all be unicorns." Vanessa said, "Dancing around with flowers in our hair and singing to the plants. It's a miracle we have anything left under your leadership. I pity your people." Warren looked as if he was holding in a chuckle as did Seth.

Bracken snorted, "Even if you weren't a blix, I wouldn't bring you. You betrayed them, no?"

Kendra got up from her seat and whispered something hushed in his ear that made him visibly pale. As much as Kendra was a cupcake, she could be pretty scary if she wanted to and this was a clear example of that.

"Why can't you just trust me for once?" Vanessa exclaimed, "I've made some mistakes, but I've changed! I never asked to be a blix, but you make it sound as if I did! How can I prove myself to you if I won't even get the chance?" At this point, Vanessa looked like she was about to cry, something that was a truly rare sight.

"I trust you a little," Bracken said, "But this is a mission for the fairy queen herself."

Vanessa pushes herself out of her chair and left the room angrily, Warren at her back. You could hear Kendra yelling at her boyfriend from across the preserve. Though it seemed like everything would have been resolved, we still have a ways to go.
