The girl on the island

On the unknown island pub was sitting next to his pet human , Veronica . He was excitedly telling her about what all things he found in the sea and his treasures that he stored on the island , how his twin brother sneaks on the island to look through his treasure and try to take it for himself . While goofing around , a loud sound was heard from the sea and another two headed octopus like creature came out , and soon enough the two creatures started fighting each throwing each other on the shores or wrestling with their tentacles. After a ten minutes fight was over the two came to a stop and saw Veronica staring at them both , while her head went left and right .

" Thats your twin brother , right?". She asked .

"Yes , and he is caught red handed trying to steal my treasure ", Pup made a grumpy comment .

" Hello there , my name is Puff , Pub is my younger brother to be exact a total of five minutes younger , but you see he does not knows how to respect his elders . Well my dear brother , I'm not here to do a loot of this , well what you call as treasure , I just came here for sunbath . " Puff said smiling .

Veronica was inwardly crying as she was hardly able to control her laugh , with the two brothers and as one could see sunbath without a sun , well these two were perfect companion for her .

While this all was going on , half a mile away from the three , a black chest had washed up on the shore by the waves . Seeing this Veronica started to walk towards the chest and the two quareling brother simply followed her slithering a little distance after her. The black wooden chest had no lock or a keyhole , yet neither of them could open it nor break it as the wooden chest was some indestructible thingy.

" Why doesn't it open ", Veronica exclaimed while kicking the chest again and again .

She then started to walk further and without turning back asked Pup , " is there a sword or any other weapon here that I can train with ?".

Again keeping his one tentacle on this nonexistent chin , Pup said thoughtfully , " I don't really understand what you want but I can show you everything I have in my treasure , common come with me ", and turning around to his brother he frowned and said , " and you stay here I don't want you stealing my treasure ". Even after his warning , Puff smiled nonchalantly and started following the two . After a ten minutes walk they were in a place into the forest where there was a little clearing and in front of them was Pup's treasure . There were broken cupboards from ship , chairs , candle stand and a load of ship parts. But then Veronica's eyes widened when she saw a cauldron that was filled with shiny stuff , she walked closer to the cauldron that was of her height and could fir twenty people inside of it. This enormous cauldron was filled with gold and crystals but then Veronica saw what she needed was there too . There was a katana , a long sword , few spears , a whip with metal handle , a shield , a giant hammer that looked to be too heavy to even lift and the last to catch her eyes was the chest piece.

She had never thought to find such good quality weapons on her own . She was so happy that she ran to hug the tentacle of her new friend , only to see Puff pouting . So she walked towards him and gave his tentacle a hug too , that made both the brothers smile goofily.

The island was reacting differently to the one who had recently stepped on it. Into deep forest of the island stood a very old and large tree known as the Tree of Life . This was a magical tree that was the life force of the island itself , somewhat like the heart of the island , that had a brain of its own and could very well feel . As soon as this girl had stepped on the island's shore the tree had been reacting to her presence. The only flower on the tree had started to bloom and was shedding a few petals every night and a beautiful red plum like fruit was getting visible bit by bit . This fruit was a magical . In the olden times this tree was planted by God and the prophecy stated that it will boar a fruit with its own life force for someone worthy of its gift . And the day had thus arrived , but unknown to anyone the gift would be something that would be the turning point of not only the worthy one but for all the realms .

.....

Slowly a month had passed , Veronica stayed on the island with her two cute but huge friends , training and goofing around with them. With time the three had become such good friends that they were inseperable . The best entertainment for Veronica was the two brothers fighting for small little things like who would sit next to Veronica and sometimes even for which side they would sit left or right . They often brought very big fishes for her to eat , which she would gently decline and eat fruits , sometimes the fruit from her basket would disappear and the two would fight over who ate it but Veronica would just laugh it off. She had been training with her weapons or to be correct , Pup's treasures , and would spar with the two brothers .

Though both the brothers were shocked with how fast she was able to grow in strength . In the first weak the two would have to use a single tentacle to deflect her attacks but then after that they had started using two and then three tentacles to fend her attacks . And her strength had been increasing by leaps and bounds.

The month had swiftly past and thus fine day was meant for her to stay alone as the two brothers had to be in their court with their father. Veronica was strolling in the forest searching for some ripe berries , when she heard someone faintly calling her . She walked deeper into the forest and now was directly standing infront of the enormous tree , and to her surprise the chest that had washed on the shore when she arrived on the island was carefully placed next to the trunk of the tree .

The chest had a little partition and a very faint yellow glow was seen from the crooked opening of the chest .
