CHAPTER 1

"Our youthful fondness, Red Catchfly"

"I would dedicate my life through Flowers."

Yes, Flowers. Flowers hasn't been an enormous portion of my life until she walked with a generous hand of trees.

She would speak words which weren't understood yet may depend through thy mind...

As I ate my chocolate pudding, I remember before we used to eat pudding every snack time. We laughed at how the smudge of frosting in our cheeks is making us look like a clown!

Oh, how nostalgic those memories are!

Whenever she felt sentimental, she would sometimes mumble, "Time flies so fast like a Pennyroyal fleeing with a White Polar flower."

At first, I haven't perceived what she meant until I perhaps went conscious that the flowers are the one that gives elucidation to the sentence.

Flowers are very generous through their sentences. Fleeing away time...

After I devour my last morsel, I stood up and put the dishes in the sink and I started to polish up.

Then I went to my garden and sat on a wooden bench. Now it is my time to fly away as the Pennyroyal flower came along with me.

At once, I'm going to peruse the tome who was generously filled with odd events. Those odd appearances are practically true! 

Or so if you see...

Myrtle, 1891

"Edward, Catch the ball!"

Called Father. I missed catching the ball for I got distracted by the forest at the back of our field. 

It landed in the forest where I was looking. I then looked at my father and apologized, "Sorry, Father. I got distracted by the alluring appearance of those trees."

He smiled at me with reassurance as I apologized.

"It's indeed alright, son. Perhaps those trees are delighted to bestow an invitation." He continued, "Now, can you fetch that ball?"

"Yes, Father," I replied as I went into the forest.

The clothes I wore is perhaps an Aster as the line had stretched into a sling.

Once I stepped into the forest, the beautiful scent of flowers and trees greeted me as the creatures went by.

I walked and walked. Whence did the ball went?

 "Found it!" I exclaimed with joy.

The ball was lying below an enormous tree. It was indeed enormous that you can't help but awe.

I perceived. Then I ran towards the tree to get my ball back. I was so close to getting it!

But suddenly, a girl went out behind the tree and walked in my direction, "Boink!"

She seems to be a bit daydreaming since she is not paying attention to her surroundings.

And indeed the reason who answers, "Wherefore?".

"Oww!" Both of us exclaimed and hissed from the mean impact.

After a few seconds, I feasibly pulled off successfully then looked at her. I noticed that I should extend a hand so, I stood up and went to her. I lent my hand and apologized, "Sorry about that. Here, let me lend you a hand."

I pulled her up as both of us regained our position.

Once she regained, she then replied, "Thank you."

"It's my pleasure. I'm Edward."

I shook my hands with her as she replied, "I am Lea. It's nice to meet you."

"I'm pleased to meet you.  I was about to get my ball."

"Where?" She asked. I pointed at the back of her as her eyes followed where I was pointing at.

"I'll get it!" She said.

When she made her first step, she hissed and exclaimed, "Ouch!"

"What's wrong?" I went to help her and saw that she has a small bruise on her knee.

I then went to her and said, "There, I'll bring you to Father and I will tell him what happened."

I got the ball with me as I pulled her to follow me to the palace.

As I went out of the forest and to the field, my father saw me and rushed towards me.

" Why did you took so long?"

I shook my head and said, "I am fine, Father. But Lea on the other hand is not fine."

"Lea?"

He then noticed a little girl at my back hiding, "Are you, alright little girl?"

She went to go to father. He was suddenly surprised and said, "Lea? What are you doing here?"

He carried her as he led her to the palace. I then put my ball back in the chest box and went to follow them

I hope she is alright...

As I went in, the maids now told me that I should take a bath and change.

I have done it as quick as possible and went to the living room

"Father, is she alright?" I looked and rushed to my father

I now looked at Lea and saw her knees are now bandage.

"She is fine now, Edward. Now may you tell me what happens?" He led me to the couch.

"Well... we accidentally bumped each other back from the forest when I was about to get my ball."

Father clicked his tongue and told us to be careful next time. He was about to say something to Lea until the maids interrupted our colloquy.

"Your majesty, Mr. and Ms. Floris has finally arrived in the palace."

He looked at them and said, "Let them in."

As they went in and saw Lea, they let out a big sigh of relief.

Father stood up and went to them and talk about what happened. I and Lea now looked at each other and apologized in unison, "Sorry."

We then laughed.

And that's where it all began...
