A marigold overlooking a patch of grass danced in the breeze. Vivi smirked. Just what she needed for her latest brew.
Her fingers wrapped around the stem, but before she could snap it, a tiny female, no bigger than a butterfly, materialized on the petals. The sprite waved her hands mockingly at the sides of her head, sticking out her tongue.
"Why, you little imp!"
Vivi swiped at the misfit, but before her fingers could connect, the sprite winked, spun with a twirl of her golden dress and tresses, and then disappeared.
"Coward!"
The sprite's laughter trilled in the air.
