2024-10-29 19:42:56"Alas, my penurious heart aches for thee, Red Carnation"
Myrtle, 1902
"Cyclamen is the last flower you gave me
the past was Evergreen.
It was fresh
but its flesh was just."
"The place was sprinkled with yellow Lily
while grace twinkle around.
My heart mingled with yours,
and yours tingled"
"No goodbyes,
you are up high.
Red carnation was the quote unlove,
the red heart was fully broke from love."
...
I closed my book as I look forward to the stacks of books on the table that I have read earlier. Everything was calm as it is. I hope so, "Prince Edward, please head into the living room right now. Your Father would want to see and talk to you"
I nodded as I headed out of the Hawthorn Library to go to the Living room to see Father. While walking in the hallway, maids and servants were trembling with fear in their eyes as they continued to work. What's the matter?
As I entered, I saw his urgent eyes look towards me as he called, "Son, come here."
"Yes, Father? Why were the people in the palace trembling?" I asked while I went towards him.
He then sighed, "King of Hemlock declared a war against the Kingdom of Hawthorn." My eyes widen as I heard what he said.
"Hemlock? Why did Uncle declare a war?" I was astonished at what happened. I felt like a Rhododendron flower who knows what's coming up isn't good.
"The people? we can't just leave them like that. They will be harmed" I said as worry and mix emotions consumpts me.
Father left a heavy sigh as he replied, "Your mother is thinking of a plan. Just fetch Lea and her parents."
"Yes, Father," I replied and went out to go to my chambers to change. I left the castle and entered the carriage while another one followed us with one of the palace guards.
After the ride, I went out and knock on the door of Lea and Mr. and Mrs. Floris's home, "Oh, Prince Edward. Come inside." Mr. Floris answered the door and led me inside.
As I went in, Mr. Floris called Lea and his wife Mrs. Floris.
Mrs. Floris went down and asked, "Edward, what made you brought here?" Lea then soon followed as she went down the stairs.
"What's happening?" She asked as she went down
"I will give you all time to get ready because Father wanted me to fetch you all to go to the palace."
"Is there something coming up?" Lea asked as I looked at her, "The King of Hemlock declared a war against the Kingdom of Hawthorn."
The three of them went in shock as they head up to get ready.
Few minutes, we went out and go to our carriage. I sat with Lea as we started discussing, "Why did Uncle declare war? did both of them fight?" She asked
"I do not know yet, Lea. But, I do have a strong feeling that they do fight." I replied
Lea thought for a moment, "Was it some year summer ago?" She asked me
"Summer?"
"Yes. I remembered I excused myself since I felt like something was coming up. Have you remembered?" She asked
"Now I do. We shouldn't make ourselves rattle right now." I
said while trying to make her calm.
Let's just hope for the best...
...
Mr. and Ms. Floris discussed with Father and mother about the issue going on.
"I hope everything will be okay..." She said full of worry, "It will be alright as we hope so." I told her.
With sorrow in her eyes, her voice started to break, "Eddy, do you think we will see each other again?" She asked as I hugged her, "Shhh... let's just hold on with full of trust and hope."
"But what if, it really did happen? The people. The families. Oh, poor them." She cried
Minutes passed by inside the library of Hawthorn, Edward was still hugging Lea.
Lea then asked, "Do you have anything to make me feel better?" I then said
"Fear naught.
An Iris, I will give you
full of hope and trust.
we are just on a slope
while we mistrust"
Then she replied
"How could I cope?
mistrust is tearing us apart.
I am bearing this with a heavy
heart. My feelings were bared!"
...
"Do you want to read for a while?" I asked her and she nodded
I pulled her up as we get books from shelves in every aisle, "What are you reading first?" She asked. I then showed her the book as she showed her mine.
Hours later, the door creaked and we were called, "Good Afternoon Ms. Floris and Prince Edward, the king wants to see the both of you at this moment."
Both of us stood up as they led us to father, "Father, you called us." I said. All of them looked terrified and upset, Did it not go well?
Lea and I sat down as we listened to Father, "I talk to King Ophrys and tried to stop this situation. Sadly, there's nothing we can do..."
A Tansy flower has bloomed...
"Do we have a plan? Where will the people hide?" Mrs. Floris asked
"We have a secret place below the palace. I think all of them could fit inside." He said as he was unsure.
"Father Willow." Lea called him, "Yes, Lea?"
"I think we should evacuate the people now." Everyone nodded with approval as we start preparing.
Father made an announcement to the people while all of us are telling the servants and maids what to do. Foods, drinks, and supplies were being prepared.
...
"Edward, do you remember the poem you have read to me before when we were on the lake?" She asked
I suddenly remembered the small poem in the book I have shared with Lea
"Think of me,
our time might come to an end.
In a blink,
you might be blind to see me."
"I am on the brink of the cliff,
can you catch me?
I am shrinking,
will you see me?"
"In a wink,
there's only one eye.
In a heart,
there's only one side"
I haven't given attention to it but, it did affect me. Little did I know, it was the end

"Echoes of the Past, Lilac"The village of Eldermere was a picturesque haven, a serene enclave of cobblestone streets and charming cottages bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. The air was filled with the pleasant hum of village life, punctuated by the aroma of freshly baked bread and the sweet scent of blooming flowers. It was a stark contrast to the chaos and enchantment we had left behind.Nikolai and I had arrived here seeking respite after our arduous journey through the Moonlit Glade and the tower. With the Gentian in hand and our spirits needing restoration, Eldermere offered a peaceful sanctuary. We quickly settled into a modest inn known as The Silver Oak, where the warmth of the hearth and the simple comforts of the village welcomed us.Days in Eldermere passed in a gentle rhythm. We explored the village, visited the local market, and indulged in the simple pleasures of quiet, everyday life. The sense of normalcy was a balm to our weary souls.One crisp afternoon,

“In the Shadow of the Grinning Enigma in the Moonlit Garden, White Jasmine”The enigmatic guardian, who had shifted from a yapping dog to a grinning man, continued to smirk with an air of whimsical menace. His eyes, now gleaming with a mischievous light, seemed to dance with secrets. The moonlight cast shifting shadows over his face, making his features appear both eerie and captivating.Nikolai and I exchanged wary glances. The guardian’s sudden shift from a harmless creature to a formidable foe was unsettling. The ease with which he had transformed and his casual dismissal of our questions suggested a being of great power and arcane knowledge.“Trespassing, you say?” Nikolai asked, his voice steady but edged with irritation. “We are on a quest—”“Ah, a quest!” The guardian interrupted, his voice lilting with exaggerated amusement. “But quests and boundaries are such fluid things, aren’t they? Here, they blend like the colors of dawn in the sky.”He raised a hand, and with a flourish,
