Secret Cave

As fast as possible, I ran out of the castle. Immediately, I took off my shoes, making my way into the woods.

The wind against my toes tickled, but I didn't mind. Relaxing, I opened my mind, allowing my senses to feel, sense, touch, and hear the surrounding countryside.

There was a family of deer at the stream to my left.

On my right was a group of pixilettes collecting seeds from orange peonia plants.

I listened extra carefully for a moment to see if Abrea happened to be with them, but she wasn't.

The pixilettes were talking about creating a new flower color by mixing two seedlings together. It would be called tealender, which was teal and lavender together.

They wanted to create it in my honor since I had a streak of teal along the front of my hair and my eyes were lavender.

I beamed at their thoughtfulness and the intensity of their conversation.

They continued their light discussion.

Some believed my eyes were more violet than lavender and therefore the name should be teal
