"The sound of the flute filled the ears of anyone who passed 'Spring Pavilion', for the one and only goddess of spring resided there. She looked down upon the human realm and wondered what their lives are like, she would hate it when wars broke out between different empires since it caused a bloodbath..."

"Despite being the goddess of spring, she could not bring spring to some humans' lives, 'not everything can be as you think it would be like'."

[Year 518]

A certain man was staring off into the sky after his empire had won years long war, the skies had never been this clear, "I hope spring comes quickly this year... it would certainly help with making everyone happy...", he sighed and looked at the flower field in front of him. He began walking towards the carnations and sat down in front of one of the plants while touching its petals softly, "I wonder if you are as pretty as they say... ever since that time I'm seeing the world in monotone", he mumbled quietly and swiftly plucked that flower.

"Bring the prettiest carnation flower you find, the goddess of spring loves those flowers, if we offer those flowers, hopefully spring would be in full bloom this year!", remembering what the grand priest had instructed him to do, the young man took the plucked flower to the shrine and placed it on the offerings table, "I hope our town gets a beautiful spring this year", he clapped twice, bowed and left the shrine.

There was a lingering loneliness in the calmness of the day, the winter had almost parted, leaving way for spring to show her magic.

Several days had passed and spring was now in full bloom, the cherry trees tinted the skies and river waters in the sweetest shade of pink and under another such tree stood a lovely woman, a noble, her hair swayed gently because of the light breeze, and the air was filled with the scent of hundreds of flowers. The young man had never seen this girl he had started to admire before, she suddenly appeared on the first day of spring just to help the town people, he did find it odd at first but once he saw her, he could not suspect or find her odd at all. In just some days, she already had become acquainted with everyone except for the young man, he had never really talked to her. She made him feel different, she made him feel all the things he had never felt, and he did not even know her that well...
