"I was feeling nothing. Thar was like a coma. I was scared, i was alone. But then i woke up. I finally managed to saw the day light, and feel how wind tembling my leaves. I was surrounded by lilies, just like me, but exept of them, i was brighter, i was thinking, i was a person". At that moment of Opalin's life, she could only speak in her mind, but no pony would know this. Until one day...
"Dum, dum la laa, dumpty la laaa..." Opalin heared somepony is approaching. That was a unicorn named Rose Dagger. She had a big backpack with pots for flowers in it. " Ah, what a beatifull field of white lilies!" She said with delight. But then her eyes fell on that one flower - Opalin. Rose gasped in awe and slowly walked to that flower. "Wow.. how beautiful this lily is, i mean- ALL lilies in this field are beautiful, but this...", as she walked closer to bright flower, her horn glowed with soft pink magic, and she pulled out one of the pots in her backpack. "What is she gonna do with me?", flower asked itself, as it watched how this unicorn pulls out dangerous looking garden shovel. "Okay, let's carefully put this little lily to my pot!" she said it to herself, and slowly started to digging dirt around the flower. "Oh no, what if shes damage my roots, damn it, please be gentle you mortal! " lily shouted, but it was only in its mind. "Aha...mmhm.. done! " with pleasure said Rose. The she slowly, gently puled it out. After she checked the roots of the lily, Rose poured water into the pot and with care putted flower to its new habbit. " Ok, well done me! " said Rose to herself proudly, " now, let's imagine how much bits i could get for this flower? ", lily started to panic, it definatly did not wanted to be sold like an object to some randome hoofes.
Because of this stress, lily started to loss its brightness. When they get back home, lily could see that Roses house is full of colorfull plants, wich makes hef feel less stressed out. "Aha, let's see. Let me feed you by my special water juice for plants! ", Rose powred water into a plastic cup, and by a flick of her horn, put a spark of the magic into the water. The liqued started to spark with soft pink sparks. Rose poured it into the pot. Flower felt how this juice absorbed into its roots, the taste of sweet magic made Opalin felt stronger.
" Yes, yes, give me more magic, please! " Flower begged. Rose looked at the dirt in the pot and suprised, " huh? Why didn't the earth absorb the water?", she poured water mixed with magic into the pot again. Like at first, lily did not took the water, but with pleasure absorbed magic, "No, don't you understanded yet? I need only magic!" Screaned lily, but at this time Rose heard a barely perceptible, unintelligible squeak.
"Hmmm.. and you are an interesting flower " The unicorn said, taking a pipette from her bedside table. She took a sample of water that the flower did not accept and dropped it onto a glass plate. Examining this drop under a microscope, she gasped in surprise. " No way! All magic that i added into this water is gonne! ". Rose scrached her head and looked at the flower, " does that means its only needed magic?" The flower only swayed slightly from side to side.
"I think it would be better if I take this white lily to Whispearing Wind, he's a smart stallion, he'll definitely figure it out." Said Rose preparing her bed. "*Yawn* goodnight my fragrant friends..." Rose said fluffing her pillow and went to bed. But lily stayed awake. It didn't know, what is going to happen tomorrow, and what is going to happen to her, this thing did not let her go even in its dreams.
A new day has arrived. Rose got up early in the morning, had breakfast and began to get ready to visit her friend in order to show her new flower. As she gets ready, she puts lily in her backpack and went to the Whispering Wind.
She gently knocked on the door of her friend. The tall, muscular stallion opened the door and with curriousity looked at the Rose Dagger. "Hm? Rose? Whats brings you here ", Whispearing Wind asked, his bass voice was quite loud, which scared lily a little. "Windows!! I brought you an intresting flower! Here, take a look! " Rose pointed the pot with the flower right into the Winds face. " Ok, ok so you just wanted to show me your new flower? " Whispearing Wind said, moving the pot away from his face. " No, its not just a regular flower, its only absorbing the magic! ", then Rose made a greedy smile and asked him " mmm, maybe this flower could cost more then average, can you check it for me please? ". Whispering Wind rolled his eyes but still agrees to take a closer look at her flower.
As he closed the door, stallion took the pot with the lily and headed towards the wooden door. The flower though it was his room, but when a thick door opened, there was a staircase leading downwards. When they went downstairs, there was a small room, on the side there was a dusty wooden table on which there was a table lamp, to the right of this table there was a wardrobe. The room was completely stuffy, dust was flying in the air. Opaline was afraid for her life, because she is just a flower with which you can do whatever you want.
Whispearing Wind sat down at his desk, put a flower on it and turned on the table lamp. Then he began to rummage through the wardrobe and mutter something under his breath. When he finally found what he was looking for, he sat back down at his desk and with a crash put down a dusty box with something metal inside. " just take a short look at this flower and thats it.." he said it to hinself and began to take out a microscope, tweezers and various other tools from the box.
Now the lily is really are scared for its life. Why would he need a tweezers and siccors for!? The stallion took a tweezers and mumbled to himself " *sigh* let's just take a one leafe..". Flower started to panicking. The squeak was more louder than before, and Whispearing Wind heard it exacly. " huh, who is squeaking..? " he turned around to find the cause of this squeak. When he wanted to tear off the petal, he heard that squeak again. This time he leaned his ear against the flower, and realized that this squeak was coming from the flower itself. "Hmm, of course it's interesting. I think you're worth studying you better. But it's late, it's time for me to sleep." With these words, the stallion turned off the table lamp and, without packing his things back into the box, headed upstairs, leaving the flower alone.
The air in this room was full of dust, he turned off the only light source; there were no windows here, so even moonlight could not penetrate here. Because of this, the lily could not sleep, staying awake all night, so the next day the flower looked sluggish and unhealthy. The flower could only hear how this stallion takes a shower, talking to Rose, and just wandering around the house. If only she had the legs, she could run away from this place! But unfortunaly, she is just a flower now.
The Opalin heard footsteps getting louder, as Whispearing Wind getting closer to the door. And its opened, he walked in. But when he took a look at the flower, he looked suprised and said " wow, did you look so bad because i forgot to feed you yesterday? "
" Well, guess, you dust lover?! " squeaked the flower, but the voice is still not lound enough to hear it clearly. Whispearing Wind heard this squeak again, but now he knew what it the causse of them. " Let's study you more for now " he said, but instead of tweezers he took a speaker. Stallion leaned the speaker against the flower, to hear what it tries to squeak. Opalin took this opportunity to talk with him and maybe, who knows, he migh help her gets her body back.
" Hey! Hello? Can you hear me? " Opalin shouted, because of the speaker he could understand the words and looked at the flower with shock. " You can speak!? ", lily responded " yes, yes i do!! Can you please listen to me? ". Wind still looked shocked, but the curiousity took over him and he agrees to listen. The flower stated its story, " you may not belive me, but i'm the alicorn, i was just traped in this flower by an evil ponies. Please can you help me get out of here? ". Unicorn was looked at the flower even more shocked. Is that really was an alicorn hes speaking with?
" Wait, you really are an alicorn? " he asks " then how can you prove that, i can't belive you without a proofs." The lily didn't know what to say, how does she will proof that what she's telling is truth? " I can't talk louder because i need the magic. It's the only thing that can make me show you the proofs. So, will you feed me some? ". Unicorn was curious about it, so he forms an small bubble of his magic, it was pulsing like a sun. Then, he directed it straight to the flower. Opaline greedily sucked in this ball of magic, this time it was not a pathetic trickle of magic diluted with water, now she can finaly speak louder and felt the strengh in her veins.
" So, proofs? " Whispearing Wind asked, waiting for response. " Yeaah, finaly!!! I can speak normaly!! " Flower shouted with happiness. Whispearing Wind jumped out, but within a second made an serious face and said " you told me, that you will prove your words. "
Opalin get distracted from her happiness, and told him " i think.. i can try this... maybe i have enough power that i collected thousands of years. " The flower started to glowing, and with each second getting brighter and brighter. Whispearing Wind started to slowly backing up, as he cannot turn away from this scene. The light started to forming in some sort if figure, more and more making it visible. And then there was a flash of light. Bright particles of light now formed the clearly clear outline of an alicorn. Finally, she was able to feel her legs, but she didn't last long. The particles quickly dissolved in the air, and now the flower again could not speak loudly. The stallion looked at that all with wide opened eyes, he had seen enough proofs to belive that lily.
" I had never seen something like that before..." Still not over the shock, he said. " So what is you saying is truth ". The flower in the response only squeak. Whispearind Wind leaned speaker against flower, and it said " i need more magic to fully transforme into my true form. Will you help me? ". The unicorn nodded at the rosponse, feeling that he us doing something important to the world. He shared his magic with this lily again, exept this time, he gave a little more magic than before. Opalin thanked him, and begged him for more. " But if i'll give all of my magic, there will be nothing left for me ".
The lily went silence for a moment, and then said " the creatures, the magical creatures! You could catch some for me and you don't have to share yours ". Wind scratched his head, " how can i caught those creatures alone, they are very dangerous? ". Opalin sighed in her mind but said " but you don't have to be alone. You can ask some one to join you and form a group. I'm not minding to show some proofs at all! ". But both of them heard a knocks. Whispearing Wind went to check who is this. When he opened the door it was Rose Dagger. "Sooo... How is my flower, and when i can get it back? " she asks . The stallion hesitated, but suddenly remembered her words that a flower could be expensive. "mmm.. you seemed to say that you wanted to sell it, right? ". She nodded in response and looked at him with confusion. "I would like to buy it. Ahh, how much did you want to sell it for?" Rose hesitated, she clearly did not come to life to hear this from his lips. "Do you want to buy a flower!?" He smiled nervously and, without letting her say anything, threw her 30 bits. "Here you go, I think this is enough?" The unicorn with bulging eyes looked at the money and then at him. But the stallion again pulled out 10 bits and threw it at her. "I think that's enough now." With these words, she closed the doors in front of Rose. Now all that remains is to figure out how to lure other ponies into your group.
