She poked a little pocket of sunlight with a stick. The Solar Flower shuttered as the wood sizzled. A single petal fell free, hissing as it touched a large damp leaf she had maneuvered underneath it. She looked at the flower, squinting against it s bright light. It felt so wrong, damaging the very thing her and her friends had worked so hard to save. But she needed to complete her trial. Gently she prodded the plant once more, trying to coax a few more petals free without doing irrespirable damage. All the while trying not to go blind by sticking her face so close to its light.
She knew she needed to get more than one petal. But it was hard knocking them off with a stick. But her trial stated that she had to do this job without being burned. So she was left to slowly poke and prod until the reluctant flower gave in. Several more petals fell. That would have to do. She didn't dare harm it further. Placing her stick aside she gingerly grabbed her leaf and slid it over to another flower. Where she proceeded to repeat her actions of prodding petals free. She received a few more pieces of the flower for her efforts. Feeling guilty over each fallen piece. That was enough. This would do. Somehow she knew that this was an acceptable amount. Ever careful she wrapped her spoiled up in the heavy leaf that had caught them. Then tenderly lifted the package as if it were a new born babe. Hopefully these flowers would be okay after her pestering. "Forgive me, beautiful flower." She whispered. "But the Rift has asked for some of your beautiful petals."
She'd hate for any of them to die. They had worked so hard to save them before. Okay. She had them, now what? Looking about the mare wondered if the task had been complete. She certainly didn't feel compelled to mutilate flowers anymore. White spots danced before her eyes, as if she had been staring at the sun for too long. Which she sort of had since Solar flowers gave off light similar to the sun. She blinked to try and clear her vision before moving on.

Tell me a story
About how the sun loved the moon so much;
He died every night
to let her breath.
