The Rarest Flower

Kirara was in dire need of some money, and she had no clue on where she would get some. She was just as hopeless as a sloth trying to cross a highway. She had recently tried to get money from a blood drive, but it turned out the blood drive was not something she could make a profit off of. Although she had been very disappointed by that reality, she was happy to have helped. She sat in the alley of a restaurant, helpless a hungry, and not knowing what her next move would be. Her stomach began to grumble excessively. "Maybe home wouldn't be that bad right now." She said to herself, trying to fight her hunger. "Mother would have had me fed handsomely... Her pancakes are the best" As she spoke about her mother's cooking, her mouth began to water. After a few moments had passed, she suddenly slapped herself. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, KIRARA? SNAP OUT OF IT!"

Kirara was not a quitter, and her recent quitter talk had taken her aback. Kirara gave her all in everything she did, and she'd be damned if she let herself give up on something that she had wanted for nearly all of her life. Her sense of adventure was what brought her to bugging her parents about letting her explore for 8 years! She had to dedicate herself to it for those 8 years! She planned out entire presentations to her parents, attempting to persuade them into letting her go out into the world. She didn't want to let all of her hard work go to waste. "I have to figure something out... I'll just have to find another job! But I should make sure that it actually pays." She chuckled a bit at the thought of her giving up. "But first, I should eat." She took out her last remaining chocolate bar and devoured it in just three bites!

As she was munching on the chocolate bar, a flier that read 'Job Request Board' flew onto her face. "When destiny calls, you answer!" She said to herself. Now, all she had to do was figure out where the flier came from. She threw the wrapper away, and quickly jumped to her feet. She began to seek the help from strangers, hoping they would know where it came from. She tapped one man and asked him. "Excuse me, do you know where this came from? You see, I am a mage looking for work, and I really need it." She gave him her childlike charm, making it difficult for him to turn a blind eye. "What's a little girl like you doing out here all alone?" Kirara frowned slightly. "I'm adventuring. Now, do you think you can help me?" "Yeah, go straight down there and take the first left that you see." She thanked him and got on her way.

She followed his directions and found the job request board. "Is this heaven?" She let out a few fake tears and hugged the job board, gaining a few negative glances from civilians. "Hmmm, which one should I take?" She was a bit annoyed when she saw the blood drive request. "How about we keep you out of my sight..." She hid the paper under a few of the other ones, to which she found a job that had a reward to her liking. The first thing she saw was the cash prize: 2000 jewels. "You'll do just fine!" She plucked the request off of the job board, and began to read the details in her head. "Our medical shop needs a rare flower, but we can't find anyone that's willing to take the job and venture out into the Spooky Forest. We do not think this is a difficult job to do, however we must warn you that there are monsters in the spooky Forest." SPooky Forest was a bit disheartening, but Kirara was gonna take the job.

"Now, all I need is money to venture into the forest." She held her eye bandage and got a brilliant idea. "What if I can use this as a way of making money? I can predict people's futures like the fortune tellers in the books!" She marveled in excitement as she prepared for her stunt. "STEP RIGHT UP AND HAVE YOUR FUTURE TOLD BY THE MYSTERIOUS GOLDEN EYE!" She hadn't ever used her eye since the accident, so she wasn't sure of how bad it would hurt her, but she was willing to take the risk. The boat ride was 200 jewel, so that's how much for the first fortune. A wealthy looking lady had wanted her fortune read. She paid the 200 jewels, and waited for Kirara to get started. Kirara grabbed The womans hand and began her act. She lifted up her eye bandage, an revealed her golden eye. As she opened her eye, she saw the woman with 2 children and a handsome man. "I see you with a very handsome man... And two children... They look similar to the man. Could they be his children?" She quickly stopped, as she could feel her consciousness fading. "That's all for today, folks! Come back never!"

Kirara quickly sprinted toward the boat that was headed for the spooky forest. She was about as ready as one could be for something like this. She wasn't prepared, but she was ready to complete it for the rather handsome reward. However, she was starting to feel a bit dizzy, as the side effects of using her golden eye were starting to kick in. "It's alright... you can pull through this." She tried to give herself words of encouragement. She tightly clenched her skirt, as the pain was worsening. As much as she wanted to, she refused to pass out. The boat had to a halt and called for the one passenger, Kirara, to get off. She walked into the forest and began to search around for the flower. As she was walking, she began to hear strange sounds. "What was that?" She said to herself. She was a bit frightened, but she wasn't gonna let that stop her.

Suddenly, as she was walking, the wolf just jumped out. She assumed that this meant the flower was nearby. Animals are normally hostile when they have something to protect, and Kirara hadn't seen or heard any baby wolves. Kirara climbed a tree and began to call for Palaemon. "In dire trouble I am, please come forth and give em your hand. Through love and faith we shall uphold, come to my aid Palaemon!" WIth these words, Palaemon appeared, encircling the area with water. "Kirara, you called?" "YES! THank you, Palaemon. I didn't know what else to do, so I called for you." Palaemon smiled at her. "It is alright child. That is what I am supposed to do. Now, get on the cuttlefish and let me take care of this." The wolf did not look to be hindered by the water, as he jumped at Palaemon, but was met by a wall of water.

The water halted the wold, but not entirely, as he was still advancing forward despite what he had been met with. "This could be a bit troublesome." Palaemon created 3 dense spheres of water, and launched them at the wold. This seemed to effect it, as it had began to wince. "See, child. It is a-" His words were halted by the bite of a wolf. Kirara saw this as an opportunity to go and search for the flower. She directed the cuttlefish forward, looking for the plant. She found many different plants, but not the one she was looking for. She decided to hop off of teh cuttlefish and search for them under the water. This was a good call on Kirara's part, as the flower had been under the water. She cheered for a few moments before swimming back to the top. The only thing that was in there way now was the wolf. Or so she thought.

Four wolves had appeared out of nowhere once Kirara arrived to the surface. They did not want her to have that flower, and they were willing to fight her for it. They swam through the water, trying to get close to Kirara, but Palaemon halted them with a wall of water. THese wolves were smaller, so the water would be trouble for them. Palaemon truly was the example of a pure God. While having his own situation to handle, he still saved Kirara. He lifted her up with the water and placed her on the cuttlefish, and activated it's ability. The cuttlefish would trap anything that came within 30 feet of Kirara in its tentacles. As the wolves got closer, that's exactly what it did. THe wolves wriggled around, but were not able to get out. The tentacles were extremely powerful. The wolves were eventually rendered unconscious, and the cuttlefish let them go. Palaemon stabbed the wolf with a pole of sharpened water, and vanished. "Psyche.... I need you."

That was all that Kirara had to say for her to appear. The side effects of Kirara using her golden eye were kicking in at full force, and she could barely stay awake. She could feel her conscious mind slowly fading, so she began to speak slowly. "T... take me to Magnolia." Psyche picked up Kirara, and flew her to magnolia. It was at a somewhat slow speed, as she was only able to fly at a speed of 10 miles per hour, and Magnolia was more than a hop and a skip away. When they arrived, Psyche set Kirara down on a park bench. This action didn't go without stops and stares, though. Kirara soon woke up, and brought the flower to the shop in Magnolia. With her reward, the first thing she did was go eat. She was excited to try food from Magnolia, and was sure that they were excited to get some of her money.
