~Tiger Lily~



this is a start of a series of stories that I have wanted to do for a long time. This is a very rough draft but enough for you to get the idea... gimme feedback please



Dawn breaks on a dark spring day. A beautiful red and white tiger lily begins opening it's bloom for the first time. There is a stir within it's petals drawing your attention. When you look closer you see a tiny arm and leg moving about inside and the sound of a faint yawn. Quickly something or someone springs out soaring through the air for a moment then returning. Leaving you questioning what you saw as if it had never happened. Slowly the morning turns into afternoon A parting of the tall grass making it's way to this beautiful flower. When you look to the ground where the flower first breaks free from the earth, there appears to be a small person who takes flight straight for the bloom. When this young lad meets the young lady of the lily you notice that these are not two very tiny children but actually these are two freshly made faeries. With smiles and hugs they greet one another joyful to each other for their new found friend. They decide to take off in search for some food. After not traveling too terribly far they spot some delicious looking berries. They landed just short of the berries and made their way to them slowly fearful of a rustling not too far from them. When they arrived they found the berries were watched over by a small dragon made entirely out of grass. He was long and slender with an immense wing span than could not be seen save for it's shimmer in the light. When he was not moving he looked just like any other patch of grass but when the need arises he takes flight his small stature abolished by his grace and speed. The three spoke for a bit explaining how they each needed the berries and for what reasons. The dragon heard the pleas for the berries and after much consideration agreed to let the faeries have 2 berries each. As the first faery picked his two berries the dragon swooped him up and swallowed him with the berries. With a mighty laugh the dragon explained to the remaining young faery that his friend did get his berries but there was no mention about him not being able to eat the faeries once they had their berries. The remaining youngling went back to her home in the tiger lily in tears vowing to never eat berries for she knew if she did what would happen. For the remainder of the season she did not leave she just stayed there all alone curled up crying for the void that was once her friend. With the last day of spring the lily opened one last time spilling out an entire thimble full of tears as it slowly withered away. They say that to this day if you are lucky enough to grow the right Tiger Lily that when it blooms it glooms and grows sadness around it making all the other plants seem sad. Listening close you can hear small whimpers coming from deep inside and when it finally withers, it once again spills it's tears.
