Chapter 4: Mandrake
The next day, Daphne stil felt unsettled after her arguement with her mother.
That day, her father made her be on Border Patrol. She stood at the border of the Green part of the forest and the Gray part. She was there until sunset. She sighed, "Boring."
"It is, isn't it?" a mysterious voice asked.
There, sitting on a rock, was a strange Leafman. He had gray-blue skin and a bat's pelt over his back.
"Um, who are you?" Daphne asked.
"I am known as Mandrake."
"Well, Mandrake, I'm Daphne."
"The pleasure," Mandrake said uninterested. "Now, I think I should tell you that I can make your dreams come true."
Daphne looked at Mandrake hopefully. "You can?"
"Oh yes. Just say your wish and I can show you how it shall be reality."
"Well, what I want more than anything is to be a Stomper."
"What an interesing little mind you have. Now, here is what you must do: In the Pod Nursery, the biggest pod has special growth ability. When the moon is up, you must release that pod and you shall grow as much as you want. And if you want to want to turn back, just do the same. But, you better hurry for the moon is rising fast," Mandrake explained.
"Oh, thank you, Mandrake! I won't regret this!" Daphne called as she ran off to the Pod Nursery.
Mandrake smirked and said to himself, "Oh. But, you will."
A/N: Now, I know I'm gonna get reviews saying, "Mandrake's dead. He was sucked up by tree." Well, let's just pretend that he escaped from the tree and he's alive. K? K. Glad we had this talk.
