ROMANCE OF FLOWER AND FOX

EXPLORING THE FIRE REALM

                  Now as I have made my mind, I have to do things accordingly. Because here the people are strange and I am not aware of the place and want to be away from every one’s suspicion. As I didn’t know if it was safe for me to be landed in the palace directly. But I decided to go there and see the places around to understand the situation. 

          I didn’t know where I was going, but as I have seen the maps of fire realm. I knew this place was heading towards the place. So, I was still was not making anything let me caught. But when I saw they were examining the baskets, so I changed my plan and decided to see a quiet place and flew out becoming a butterfly.

               I flew high in the sky and sat upon a tree and then I was looking around the nearby places. I saw this place was beautiful but then I sat on a leaf of the nearby tree where the think that took my sight was, that there are many men in a black uniform near the gate of the palace. I even saw there were many shops and street stores, I think that’s the market. So, I decided to visit that place and take a close look to the market. I turned into my original form and the moment I got down from the tree I hit a man in white he was short and was carrying a stick in his hand. He looked like an old man from his back, but when he turned towards his face towards me. He looked like a young man not too much elderly. 

            The moment he saw me he started laughing. I was wearing a green dress with flowers all on the hand and as a belt on my stomach full of colorful flowers and my gown was of full length and there were flowers even on the base of the dress. It was a beautiful dress which was a great piece of hard work and it was a handmade dress with a good complexion of art and was done with too much of efforts. I was shocked as he was laughing on me, then he said, “who are you, where are you from, who gave you this kind of clothes.” Whoa... who is he? I taught for myself and when I was still in my thought, I felt someone’s hand and before me reacting I was high up in the sky.

               I was looking at him in thrill and was thinking that did he came to know about my belongings. I was still in my thinking but before that we reached the place somewhere in the market and the man in white asked someone in the store to get some beautiful dresses for me. I was still looking at him in confused look and he saw me staring at him and said, “I don’t know who you are and what you want. But I can’t see a beautiful and decent girl into an awful dress.” I still didn’t speak as I wasn’t sure what and in which manner should I speak to him.

          Then he paused for a second and gave a warmth smile to me and again said, “It even seems you are not wealthy, so just accept keep it. I think you have made that dress as you are too power to effort a good dress. Never mind, you can return when you have enough to payback.” As he did speak about wealth and as I saw he was a good man. He was helping me without anything in return. I then thought for a while and said to him in a polite and sweet way. 

             “Hello, my name is maria. I don’t know anything about this place and I’m quite a new person in this city and don’t have any place to stay. I am not asking you to keep me with you. But if you could just help me find a job and let me earn some wages. I’ll work hard and will not give any complain and will fulfill all my duties. Could you please.” as I was still saying, the man came with a gorgeous dress and asked the man in white which one he likes. He chose the dress in purple and asked me to change and asked the man to pack all the other dresses. I changed and was now comfortable with the man in white and asked him for his name.

 He said, “My name is Marvel, I’m the brother of the Empress of this realm Blaze. I was still thinking about it and as we sat in a restaurant to have something. Till the time the order was prepared I felt asleep as I was very sleep. It was evening time when I was awake and I was on a very fluffy bed with white bed sheet. There were beautiful light pink curtains and there were slight light coming from the sky. It was the sun. I haven’t seen the sun ever since. I was out the whole day but didn’t get the chance to see the sun so silently. I was so lost in my thoughts that I even forget to look around. I didn’t know where I was but it was very peaceful. Then suddenly there was a girl in a simple but highly magnificent red gown. She came in the room and greeted me and served me some tea and snacks.

              I asked her about the place, she informed that the place is marvel’s palace. I was not shocked I was not tensed, then I asked the lady where I can find him and after eating something, I went to find the man in white. I name him ‘MAN IN WHITE’.

              The lady has informed me to go out and take a left and when I reach the hall. Take the right and go near the sitting area in the garden. So, I followed the instructions and saw the man in white.

I greeted him and bowed and thanked him for his help. He said that he is a match maker. The man in white was wearing a red gown and there was a stick in his hand in which there were many ribbons and he was wearing ribbons in his pony tail too. He was looking a completely different person. He asked me to sit and offered me to stay and work for him genuinely and he asked me to handle the boutique. I didn’t know what he was saying. 

          I was shocked and was not aware about the work. He noticed the confusion on my face and he informed that it is the only franchise in the fire realm who arrange and conduct wedding. The wedding is held only if the bride and the groom is ready to get married. It is a booth that helps the lovers. If a person once ties the rand ribbon which is received from me to some other person, whom he loves. No power can make them apart. I was just quietly trying to understand the things he was saying.

                    Then he said that he will show me around the boutique. I nodded my head and followed him. I was stunned. This place was incredibly amazing. There were red curtains all over the wall, the lighting was doing it’s work in a very amazing form. 

                   There were different types of dresses in one row towards the wall. There were around more than hundreds of dresses and there were many different closets filled with accessories like necklaces with matching earrings. Then sandals, heels and many others. There were more than 20 women in the room. 

            They all bowed to the man in white and continued their word. He asked two girls lily and Jessy to help me from tomorrow. I didn’t know where the place was located. So, I decided to move out of the place after I had my dinner at night.

                 When I went out, I saw the same men dressed in black uniform. So, I went towards him and with the intention of inquiring asked him where is this place. The answer was very surprising for me, as I was inside the palace. He looked towards me and as he saw the red ribbon, he understood I am some poor girl from some town working in Mr. marvels boutique. 

              So, the man spoke to me politely keeping his arrogance aside. I then went back to the boutique and then went to bed. Thinking about the whole day in this new place. I was just expecting good to happen with me.
