The Rose Garden

Alaesarryin

Tothaz stood in a daze unsure of what to do with the impossible. A wanderer who could do anything and a fated native who can use zeva. His ability to use it does allow him to go to the academy but at what cost. Bion with predetermined fate and the second rarest zeva color can't be good fortune. 

They sat there glowing illuminating the windows with a warm mixture of colors. Tothaz looked out the window  ready for the next surprise he begun to make food.

 Bion and Rosalia aided in vegetation growth in the clearing; trees from the saplings, a carpet of flowers, moss on the trees, the dead tree that was the home cracked in a way and started to change shape. Rosalia looked like the sun with her aura and Bion had aura now visible without difficulty. Tothaz ran out of the home with food in hand to give and to send Rosalia home.

"You're done." He said bluntly, startling them they stopped. Afterwards they ate arola filled tarts and watched Soalara set while Rosalia noticed the home.

 "Is it moving?" She asked hoping to be wrong when it, on cue, promptly exploded with destructive force. She said her chant to protect them from it but Soalara set and she disappeared leaving Tothaz and Bion in the direct path of their belongings and house. 

She sat up in her black shirt at home in bed. Aware that she messed up she started apologizing to the empty room where her mother ran in.

"You're awake, good. Dinner is in the kitchen, it's tuna casserole." Rosalia realized she was hungry even though she just had food on Rosé. She moved and her headache attacked with a vengeance but she also felt her emotions from the awakening she started crying. Her mother, worried, ran over and helped her sit up. Her tears flowed like rivers, unstoppable, her mother just sat there to comfort her daughter.

Her daughter in pain was rare. She was a strong and adventurous girl who wouldn't stop growing either in knowledge or physical stature. She figured that her headache was painful except that emotions in tandem with the garden were unexplainable. Any human able to see past evil to see torment is nothing short of impossible. 

Dinner was quiet. Sparo and Rosalia sat in silence as their parents walked away to talk in private. 

“She's in pain and sleeping all the time. I know it wasn't going to be a quick recovery but this is too much for a child.” her mother said in a hushed tone.

“It’ll be impossible to see without a specialist so just make sure she's comfortable while she's awake and we should see about anything to aid recovery.” the pain filled response from her father was evident. 

Her brother was two years younger, bored, and ready for a laugh. He began to slowly eat Rosalia's food right off her plate. But Rosalia wasn't even there; she was in wonderland hoping that the blue rabbit wouldn't be angry at her for messing up his house.  

“Hello Earth to Rosalia,” Sparo said in a tired tone. His practical joke didn't do anything so he refilled her plate with the pasta and tuna dish. It looked like she hadn't touched it when their parents returned from a disheartening discussion.  

“Not hungry?” was all that was asked when she replied I'm full only then she realized what Sparo did. Sparo laughed like a cartoon on the ground and he ran away from the table. 

She jumped up out the seat and said under her breath at a run “Etopful reunon” while in hot pursuit. The chant didn't do anything except make the mark on her arms turn red. Catching him she made him then need brown pants. What followed was a flurry of insults and laughter from the table. The headache finally faded a bit and she felt better from the whole ordeal from her trip this time but was excited to go back.

Bion and Tothaz starred in bewilderment at the once dead tree standing tall. They hadn't moved from the spot from earlier but were dreading the cleanup. Rosalia did help them survive the impromptu explosion from earlier but decided to leave, not decided but rather forced too. 

“This is gonna take all the rotation.” Bion said incredulously. Ready for work he rolled up his sleeves and moved forward. Tothaz saw the boy millenia younger than him ready for a future that didn't exist before her arrival. It was reinvigorating. He was as old as the world and this native, younger but over 100, was finally moving forward.  

Tothaz stopped him to say one word, “Alaesarryin.” Bion did not react with joy jumping up and down but rather a simple, “Definitely” 

He began the new monumentous task of cleaning up and then to find Tothaz a new home. Sure it was probably Rosalia who's natural skill that blew it up but he still felt bad that it happened. When he stood he could see the terrain completely different from before it was glowing in the light of Eucarro. He felt empowered until he saw an ebon too. He dropped his belongings and said, “Rozi Reiter.”

Tothaz not ready to deal with anything else except his thoughts paid a quick glance at the single ebon in the field. He let Bion try his skills now that he could stand without being drained. 

The speed of a native was incomparable to the natural skill of Rosalia. Rosalia was strong but almost slow in comparison to Bion. He didn't need strength if his opponent was too slow to react to his zeva boosted movement. With a simple punch the battle, or rather m******e, was over. Bion didn't see the pain Rosalia did and only saw the ebon so while purified it wasn’t at rest and could be reborn. 

Bion stood up then looked at Tothaz whos back was turned asked, “Will we be there for the ball?” 

Ball? How absurd of course he thought but then he stood and turned to Bion who already knew stood there with the same cheeky grin. Rosalia was in for another culture shock and it might get her killed.
