Lotus
Lunar House
19 | Female | Unicorn
Story Excerpt
Lotus woke up to a nice sunny day. A subtle mist lay on the fresh spring ground. The forest was wide awake, she stepped out of her small cottage, onto the deck and then on the mossy gravel path. Her blue-grey cat, πετούνια (petoúnia) stepped onto the path with her, rubbing against her leg.
"What flowers shall we display today?" Lotus Queried.
"Mrow"
Petoú wandered around the garden dismissively.
"Ah- these will do nicely!"
Lotus carefully snipped the bottom of a cluster of daffodils.
She stepped inside, dropping the flowers in a ceramic vase, she poured a cup of tea. She picked a beautiful book from her collection, a well weathered book with floral patterns surrounding the title and pieced together with tangled twine.
She glanced at the title returning to her chair, herbal remedies, and dabbling in witchcraft. Just as she was about to open the book, she heard the little cat outside, "MROWRR" Petoú arched her back flinching from the prickly thorn bush. Lotus rushed outside, comforting the silly creature.
"Petoú, you silly cat, that's the cursed garden!" She picked poor Petoú from the prickly bushes and placed her back on the grass.
As she was heading back inside, she saw a sliver of light in the middle of the bush. She walked towards it cautiously, sighing, her horn lit up in a faint glow. Carefully, she pried the thorns and leaves, to see a petite glass jar with a scrappy note. Lotus clutched the jar in her hooves, desperately trying to open the jar. Finally she went into the kitchen and forced it open with a knife. *Cough cough* the dust lifted from the old bottle.
She opened the scroll to see a page. The page was an old potion recipe, it called for: Morning sunlight, the source of a creature in pain, lifted dust, and a cluster of daffodils. She furrowed her brow, those were all things she had encountered in the last hour. She piled together the ingredients, and cut down the thorns that caused her cats peril, minutes earlier.
She walked outside to a sunny location, and placed the items in the glass jar she found. The jar glowed and formed a yellow bubbling liquid. She took the page and lifted the potion to her mouth. There was a flash as she drank the potion. The page glowed too. She looked down at it, words forming on the back. "A potion for unicorns to embrace their magic, some extra help an extra push.
SSSfGU - Herbal remedies and dabbling in witchcraft.". Her horn lit up with incredible force, fading after a second. She stumbled inside, her arms full of the parchment and jar. She dumped it all on the floor and kicked it to the corner, sitting uncomfortably on her chair again, she opened the first page of her book. It was an address. And in top left corner of the book, SSSfGU, Herbal remedies and dabbling in witchcraft.
She peered over her shoulder, to the corner where the parchment was, to see a envelope with an address. The same address. She opened it to see an application. She filled it out, walking to the mail box, stuffing it down the chute. SSSfGU was, as far as she could tell, a school for unicorns. She wanted to be rid of her magic, after what happened 4 months ago. But if this kept up, it wouldn't help her forget. She would apply for this school, if she didn't make it, good. If she did, well, she would figure out what the book was, and why she had it. She didn't know the original owner of the house, she just moved in after the accident. It was a small shack, rumored to host a sorceress before her. This entire thing was insane. Why did it happen to HER? Why not someone else? She sank into her chair.
Whatever happens, she would try to be ready.
