There is a song that draws her in. It sings to her bones and hums in her blood. It pulls Flora to the meadow and she comes, a moth to its flame.
The flower-girl is near enough a stranger here. But the earth knows her blood. The hills know the echo of her breath as she fought Asterion. She knows what it was like to hurt here, what it is still like.
The Steppe, rumour says, was where Seraphina lay and died. It was a place barren and empty. Its grasses were thin and dry and sparse of colour. There was no vitality here, the earth drank it and the skies had wept all the rains it ever could over the bloodshed here. Rain was rare, and yet, now a wild meadow grows.
Florentine stands upon the field edge. She watches those flowers sway, she hears the chink of their dance as they touch each other and laugh in jeweled voices that sing and echo the magic’s song. This golden Dusk girl was a time traveller, born into a changeable world of ancient magic and ever-changing time. They were fickle lovers and changed lands as readily as the sun rose each day. They showed her horrors, they showed her utter beauty and everything they showed her defied nature. Florentine’s young eyes never knew what normal was, she never questioned a field of crystal flowers, glittering in a thousand colours plucked from nature’s palette. And she does not question them now.
Even as she steps out amidst their stems, their cold, hard petals brushing, beautiful and bright, against her limbs, Flora knows that anything could happen here. She touched one flower, and then the next and the next. She tastes fickle magic, she breathes a twisted kind of beauty and as her golden lashes close, she wonders what joys, what horrors this meadow might bring forth.
But above all a smile curls her lips for, yes, this feels like home.
