AN ATTEMPT FAILED

"Ok, Ok, STOP! I will try." Partumas yelled, for his strength was thinning, and Flosi's was only increasing.

Flosi allowed herself to sit, she was covered with scratches and bruises, but she felt accomplished. Now all she had to do was pray. She watched Partumas concentrate, an orb of green light formed around his hand. A green aura surrounded him, and on the ground an odd green pattern that appeared to be flowers and symbols, but the symbols had no meaning to her. Partumas's eyes closed in focus, the earth trembled, as if Arcus was going to rise, but then Partumas's eyes opened. He slumped. Then he fell unconscious. Flosi stormed away, knowing that Arcus would not live. She ran to her room which she had once shared with Arcus, once a person she prayed to, then a friend, then a hero, then deceased. She stumbled to the bathroom, and took a very long shower, this time the soap smelled of candy. It felt like joke to her, for the world would not be sweet without Arcus. Instead it would be a blank landscape devoid of joy. It would just be torture to live. But she couldn't allow herself to pass, for she was in the prophecy of old. She was a somewhat important pawn. That was all she was: a pawn. Somebody's play toy. All she would every be. She washed, then brushed her teeth. She put on a black long-sleeved shirt, and a red and black flannel skirt. She brushed out her long hair, perhaps she would cut it back to its normal length sometime, but today was not the day.

Sunny was on the bed, with a litter of three kits. She assumed they were born while she was in prison. One kit looked just like Sunny, but it had green eyes like Flame. Another looked just like Flame, but had yellow eyes like Sunny. And the last one was just in the middle. It had a cream pelt, which was adorned with red swirls, and its tail faded to a black. The kit's eyes were the same color of lemongrass but a little more yellow. She decided to name the one that looked most like Sunny Moss, and the one that looked most like Flame Nova. The middle kit was more tricky, but in the end she named it Lemongrass. She made each one collars the color of their eyes, and added their names on it. The collars each had little flowers embroidered on them.
