ROMANCE OF FLOWER AND FOX

PLAN TO DEPART FROM FLOWER REALM

The old man then said, "I m.. mean like during the war. What had happened in the fire realm is what I.. meant." He was fumbling while speaking as if these words was not coming his mind. But whatever the reason is. I didn't knew the reason and for now I was not interested in the war story as well. So I didn't give it a second thought. I said to him that,

"I thing you are right old man, I too then just have a 1000 years left to live. I should live a peaceful and chaos free life, insist of getting indulged in any problems. I am assuring you that I won't do anything stupid. Thanks for making me understand my mistake. If you and Head Madam are stopping me that means there definitely would be reason behind it and I won't ask you the reason. I understand there are some reasons which you can't make others understand."

While I was saying this I thought I too then really have only a thousand year to find a cure. I am gonna die, so whether it's this way or that way. I hope you too understand my reason, old man.

He replied in a nervous tone," It's good that you keep the Head Madam's worry in your mind. She really cares for you. So live a carefree life like always. What is gone can't come back. But what is there you can at least cherish that."

I thought that if there is even a slight chance to save her I won't leave the hope. I do cherish everyone, if it would be some one else too I would have given all of my efforts. I hope that I really don't disappoint anyone again because of me.

Then I replied to old that, "I will definitely keep that in mind, old man. Take care of yourself. goodbye"

He too said good bye and I took my leave.

I heard a sigh from backward, but I ignored and left. I went to the 'lands of heavens'. I sat there for the whole day. I was unable to understand the situation. I was totally confused and blank. Firstly I was searching for the cure, but now the situation has changed. Now, I knew the solution, but I didn't knew what to do next.

I have to think of some or the other way. I then went to the library. I wanted to know about the fire realm more. After some days as I was heading out from the library. The librarian was holding many books in his hand. So. he was unable to see the way. As I was also distracted with my thoughts I didn't knew he was coming. We had a clash and I got pushed towards the book and I was forced to go behind the wall. Actually it was a secret passage, where there were restricted books kept of other realms.

I was on the top of the moon when I saw that passage. I was unable to stop myself, because there would be some secrets to break the ward. As I knew all the magics of flower realm. I thought maybe these magics would be of some help.

There was a very powerful magic in a book. It said that it can break any magic wards, if you are completely under pressure or any pain. If you put all of your efforts to use it, it may work. But it needs a practice of around 200 years, along with a strong meditative mind. This magic is know as 'Meditative Power'.

I collected many books and even maps of Fire realm from there as I knew I wouldn't get a second chance to be here. I kept all my books in the magic bag which was my birthday gift from maria's Dad for my good behaviour. The point is this bag would only store books and nothing else. I never expected this day would come in my life, that I would be greedy for books and would use this bag to keep books.

I deeply felt it today that every thing is really connected to one another for real. It was a very different feeling. I was very lonely and was missing my friend, my sister.

I said to myself that, "I have to find a solution. I will find a solution. I am capable to do so. It's heaven's will, that I was clashed with the librarian. All I need to do is keep trying. As the saying goes 'TRY TRY TILL YOU SUCCEED". It's to motivate me. I can do it. I can do it...

While murmuring I left the library. I went to the forest, I started reading and practicing different magic. As I already knew there are some magics that we can't practice being a grape, but I was able to do some I didn't knew why.

I had skilled some more magics and had thoroughly byhearted the maps of Fire realm . Now the biggest task was to leave the Flower realm. I don't had much time to practice the Meditative power magic.

I have to make a proper escaping plan. Without anyone knowing it. I and maria used to go for meditation for around 20 years in every 100 years. It's almost the season to go for the meditation on mountain. This is summer season. In this season we have holiday and many of them go for meditation with their family.

So I have planned to say everyone that I am going for meditation but I'll go to Fire realm, it won't be suspicious to anyone. But I didn't understand how to cross the ward without letting anyone know.

It was like even if I used the Meditative power magic, I didn't had the guarantee that it won't alert my elders. It was a risky idea and if I get caught, then everything is over. I can fool the old man like I did some months ago, but I can't fool the Head Madam.

I knew that in a week there is a full moon day. It is the day when the Head Madam go to delivery the food to the border. I wanted to execute my plan on that day. I had informed the Head madam Lilium, and Maria's mother that I want to go for meditation on mountains.

I said them I'll leave on the day of the full moon. They asked me to stay and said me not to go. But I tried to convince them and said them that i am going to freshen up my mind.

I even said them that, " too much has happened recently I want to spent some time alone and clear my mind. I'll return once my mind is at peace"

They agreed.

I have decided to use my transformation skills and become a food grain in the basket, which Head Madam will take to the border.

I hope that my plan is a success....
