Return of the mysterious rose
âSuch a small, simple, rose. And yet it held a soul who thought the kindness of the world was long gone.â
Divine Life Cookie hummed softly as she scooped up the dust that was once the Kindness Beast. Once a grand bloom to save their Queen, now dust and nothing more left. The spirit had retreated once giving White Rosie their soul jam, no longer having a form to use with the plant wilting not too long after.
âYou gave it your all, because you cared for her. She gave you kindness. Something you had lost hope forâŚâ
She balled up the dust in her paws, then opened them to reveal a simple white rose. The same one that had once been possessed, though now restored but blessed. With eternal life. It would never wilt.
âAnd she misses you. So does her friends. They all do. Isnât it nice? To know that even in your absence, her kindness to others has never waveredâŚAnd you assumed youâd never see her again.â
Divine Life looked at the starry night sky, the rose floating between her paws. She was the fragilest of the Divine. But possessed the powers of life powder itself. And a strong bond with the nature she could summon in her footsteps; Even now flowers bloomed where she stood.
âBut the world is in dangerâŚAnd you need to protect your Queen all the same. So please accept my gift. To return to the world you learned to love. A spirit no more. But a fallen hero returned. Even if your soul jam is no longer yours, your powers have remainedâŚCaramel Flower Cookie.â
She holds up the rose to the sky, letting it float free of her paws as her golden life powder and divine magic swirled around the simple white rose, the once white petals now highlighted in golden hues and the green petals forming a sort of lining around them until it resembled a small brooch.
âOr as you would preferâŚ.â
Divine Life still held her paws to the sky.
âEnigmatic Flower Cookie.â
The brooch shines brightly against the night sky, then a blinding flash fills the surroundings. When it fades, a much different Enigmatic Flower Cookie stands before Divine Life, and turns around to look up at her. A flower brooch is on their neck. The cookie remains rather short.
âWelcome back, Flower of Kindness. I hope the blessing served you well. Your Queen will be here soon.â
Divine Life smiled sweetly, then retreated back into the bushes once more, leaving the plant cookie alone. But she knew for not too long. As she heard the quiet footsteps of White Rose Enchantress pass by soon enough.
Unaware a familiar face would be there to greet her once again.
