Dazed Signs

Start Over

The people around were all whispering and wonder about the problem between the big man and the boy. Quinn said to Millie as they also want to find out what is happening:

- These things are also common in this place, Millie. But they always manage it fine so don't worry.

- But he is a small boy, how could he even fight back the big man? The man just pushes him and he ends up on the floor. - Millie reply.

- I don't know, but this is not our problem so if we get into it, we have buried ourselves.  The only way now is a battle against each other.

- But I can't just stand there? I can see that the boy is frightened.

The girls make their way through the crowd and see the boy crawling up to his feet. The man laughs:

- I know how we can solve this out. How about a little battle for a little boy?

- Battle? My mom told me that I shouldn't be in battle. - The boy's voice sounds like he's gonna cry.

- It will be easy, let's make it simple. One round, just only one is enough for me to beat you. Let me help you go back to your mommy as quickly as possible. - The big man smiles.

The boy softly nods and he stretches his arms, he smiles. Millie knocks her head:

- His blood is pumping up, I can sense that he is nervous and excited.

- Don't worry, he'll be just fine. - Quinn grins

- What do you mean? Is he a powerful person too?

- I never met him before so I don't know. 

- So then why are you said so calmly?

- Because he is a daffodil, and I'm sure this type of flower is not just only beautiful to watch.

Millie gulps and turns back to the battle, the match is started. The big man rolls up his shirt sleeves, he rushes toward, his hands turn into a big fist. Swish and fast, the man punches into the boy. The little boy falls backward and balances himself back. The man chuckles as he jumps up high and rolls back down as he is a gigantic shield. Quinn gasps:

- Oh no, that big man is not easy to fight.

- Who is he? I can see that he's sure strong. - Millie asks.

- He has a sign of a gorilla, with strength and skills. - Quinn said.

This 'little battle' is not easy like we all know. The big man makes a 'bang' sound as he hit his hands against the floor, it is trembling. The young boy jumps and gently passes through the air, he stands on a table. And the boy taps his fingers as he throws out little, pretty pollen. It flies towards the giant man and in just a second, the pollens explode. The places covered in dust and smoke, the man holds his scratchy hands and frowns:

- You little jerk! I'll end you here! - He angrily runs forward and swings his arm.

As the man swings his big arm and is ready to hit the boy by his face, the arm suddenly stops right in front of the boy's cheek. The smoke spreads out and the people are all shocked as they see the little boy is sliding his hand on the man's face. The boy smirks:

- My mom told me that I shouldn't be in battle so that I wouldn't hurt anyone. - He moves closer and whispers - You shouldn't be overreacted, stay calm, and don't show your weak spot.

The man stares blankly and his tears running down peacefully as he falls to the ground. The boy slowly gets off the table and walks away. Millie jumps in surprise, she turns to Quinn:

- What's that kind of power? How's the man suddenly lost?

- I told you. Daffodils are not just beautiful and smelly flowers. They are also poison and especially not safe for both humans and plants. If you get the flower's acid on your skin, it will burn badly, or maybe even worse. 

- That is a strong power, he's sure are incredible. - Millie said.

- Not actually, girls. My power is hard to control. - The young boy said as he stands next to them.

- You! Great work out there! What's your name? - Quinn asks.

- I'm Rinn, nice to meet you. You two seem to be older than me. - Rinn said.

- This is Quinn and I'm Millie. You're doing well even you're young. How could you do that?

- I don't like people who look down on others, my mother told me so. I know that my power is dangerous but I've learned how to use it, maybe I can make some friends. - Rinn reply.

- I know you can, young boy. You've controlled it well but you must keep continuing to do that. - Quinn smiles.

- Thanks. I'll be going now so...hope I can meet you guys again, soon. - Rinn leaves, he pauses - I wonder what would your two powers are. Red poppy and a butterfly, how interesting.

The boy walks out of the place. The girls return to their seats, Quinn orders some drinks and said:

- Okay, let me explains to you about the signs.

- I'm ready to listen. - Millie answers.

- Your sign is a flower zodiac, mine is a spirit animal. Both are different in the kind of abilities and meaning but they're both having special powers.

- So you have a sign of an animal? What is it -- Millie said as she looks at Quinn - You're a butterfly!

- You heard the boy before, yes, I am a butterfly. - Quinn frowns.
