A petite girl with dark brown hair stands steadily in focus her eyes pressed to a plant plot,

　　"Grow

　　Grow,

　　Grow!"

　　The plant refuses to budge,

　　"Why isn`t this working!" the girl groans dismayed

　　"Zinniaa~" a voice sings,

　　Zinnia turns around to see someone very familiar, as well as a stranger,

　　"Lyra!" she exclaims hugging the girl fondly

　　"I`ve missed you!"

　　"It hasn`t been that long," Lyra blushes, "and I`m not that far away,"

　　"I heard you went topside for days,

　　Is he one of them!" Zinnia looks to me eagerly

　　"He`s from above," Lyra replies, "but he`s"-

　　-"You`ve managed to convince one of them!" Zinnia interrupts,

　　"This means we have a chance of getting back up to our city!This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

　　Ooh I`m so excited!"

　　"Zinnia! calm down,

　　He wasn`t one of them, he came from outside the city," Lyra exhales

　　"Huh?

　　Then what`s he doing here?"

　　"He knew the prince and"-

　　-"Wha!

　　The prince is alive!

　　Oh my gosh! I can`t believe this I have to tell Darius&."

　　"No, Zinnia," Lyra says frustratedly

　　"The prince is dead,

　　Kage is going to help the queen with something,

　　Then he`ll help me save us all!"

　　"Help you save us?" Zinnia says blankly

　　"Ok."

　　"Wah!

　　"Why aren`t you getting all excited now, I`m going to save us."

　　"So anyways," Zinnia ignores "is the prince really dead Kage?"

　　"He was such a hero!" I fib dramatically pressing my hand on my forehead,

　　These two girls amuse me,

　　"He sacrificed himself for me!" I continue

　　"I owe him everything!"

　　"Aww!" Zinnia says sympathetically

　　"You know, I used to like him when we were younger,

　　I knew he`d grow up to be an incredible man!"

　　"Indeed, he did, he was the type of person to"-

　　-"Shut up Kage!" Lyra snaps, slapping me in the back of my head

　　"Stop fueling her!"

　　"Zinnia, Look, have you seen Pinoki lately?

　　He stole Kage`s pouch."

　　"Pinoki?

　　He`s probably in the new settlement they just finished building, he told me he was trying to get money to spend there."

　　"Thanks for the info, Zinnia, we`ll"-

　　-"What`s your magic Zinnia?" I ask

　　"Huh?" Zinnia says surprised

　　"I.. uh

　　"It`s a special attribute, but I can`t use it anyway," she says dejectedly

　　"How so?"

　　"I&.," she pauses and looks at me deciding if to tell me,

　　"I can`t grow anything, on command,

　　Only when I get excited or emotional my ma-

　　-See!" she points to a plant pot in front of us, it begins to sprout in a manner of seconds a light green vine protrudes from the soil.

　　"That`s, actually amazing" I watch as the plant grows in real time,

　　"It is?" she asks,

　　"You have the magic to create life,

　　Isn`t it amazing?"

　　"I never thought about that way," Zinnia beams

　　"Can we go now Kage?" Lyra grumbles,

　　The two leave while the girl takes out an empty pot,

　　She places a single seed on the soil,

　　"Ok," she breathes

　　"Live!"
