The magic had helped for only a moment. And then the flowers began to die once more. A sense of loss and panic tightened his chest. Of course you could not save them. The voice scoffed. You are nothing more than a failed creation that shouldn't have life, unable to save even a flower. Pathetic. Weak... The voice continued to attack him and his eyes fell as he became crestfallen. What else were they supposed to do? Then suddenly the flowers flared to life. He stepped back in surprise, eyes wide. Looking up he saw the newcomer as he dug up the dead flowers causing the living to shine brighter.
Was it really so easy? Soon everyone else was rooting up the blackened flowers as they followed Seiji's lead. A smile touched the giant's lips as hope was restored within him. Maybe they could save his home. He looked down at the darkness he stood amongst. Tentatively he raised a massive paw. Then let it fall as she carved a deep gouges into the earth with his claws as he uprooted many of the dead flowers. Those around him flashed brighter. Emboldened by this fact he struck again. And again. Large paw-fulls of flowers fell as he picked up his pace, as eager and excited as Seiji as bounced from dead patch to dead patch. They were doing it! They were saving his home and memories!
"Talk."
I may not be the most important person in your life.
I just hope when you hear my name,
You smile and say "That's my friend!"
