Chapter 8 - Flower

In front of Luan was a teen girl with long blonde curly hair who had an apple on her hand.

"I'm fine. Who are you?"

"My name is Flower. Nice to meet you."

"I am Lucas."

"Oh! What are you doing here? Your father us looking for you."

"You know my father?" Luan asked, confused, she looked like a sweet lady.

She smilled and gave him the fruit, before sitting down beside him.

"Everyone knows the god of seals."

"Seals?! I always thought them as a tattoon."

Flower looked at him, surprised, then she looked around and got up.

"If you must knows. It isn't a tatoo, but a seal that maintain the power inside the body."

"I totally didn't know that!" He ironically thought while smiling"For real? That's news to me."

"Yeah and now every teen is firced to go to the upcoming age. If it worthy it will maintain the seal, if not..."

She got quiet and looked down without saying a word, after a moment she took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Until Douglas die, no one will ever be at peace."

"Yeah right! If it was only Douglas that should be dead."

"What do you mean?"

"Forget." He said as he got up and took the apple, before walking away.

Flower followed behind, ignoring what he said and he just continue walking.

"You are the group of the originals seals, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I have the original seal too. The power of trees and flowers."

"Are you for real?!" He asked astonish, at the same time he stopped walking and look back.

"You cleary are more experience in fight than I am. I wouldn't dare touch you."

He draw a little smile on his face, only to get confused when Flower started to pull to the front of the castle, where she stopped right in front of some with a dark blue cloak.

"Why are we in front of the castle?"

"Hello again, Luan!" The voice said, he immediately recognized it.

Sally looked up, then she started to walk in the direction of the castle entrance.

"When did you get here?"

"Don't need to worry." She said and took the hood of her head, making everyone around froze.

"What is happening?" Luan asked confused, everyone was now kneeling on the ground.

"I must have forgot to mention."

"Mention what?"

"She is the princess of Lich."

Luan was shocked, he opened his mouth to say something but he couldn't, so he walked the remaining time in silence.

After walking up a stairs that sent him straight to the palace he then realized something.

"Where are the monsters?" Luan asked "Isn't the whole world being attacked by them?"

"About that..." Sally said as she stopped on the top of the stairs "My father made an agreement with Mortis."

"And you only tell me that now?" Luan shout before covering the face with hands, squatting on the ground "I must save them. It isn't their fault."

"You make the king counselor look as a bad guy. He is protecting my kingdom."

Flower caressed the male's backs, without understanding nothing. Then she looked up and saw two man well dressed pass by.

"Wait. Arent you Lucas?" Flower whisper beside the boy's ear "Isn't he your father?"

"Yeah, but... It's complicated.

The girl smilled, helped the boy get up and took her fluffy cloak and put it on Luan, covering his face with it's hood, twice his head.

"I understand. We are friends now. I will help you."

"Why are you covering him? No one knows him here."

"Cold!" He lied and started to rub his arms to make a point.

"Oh, right. You're not used to mountain ambient."

"We should rest a little." Flower said "You know why we are here. And how much we walked."

"Yes, of course. Follow me."

"Should we trust her? Not even Julian trust her."

"You met Julian too?" Flower scream whisper, with her hands on the face, that was becoming red "He is gorgeous. I want to meet him sometime."

Luan wasn't expecting that reaction, even less when he felt a a stinging feeling in the heart. He ignored it but his expression god dark quickly.

"Do you agreed... Oh..." She stopped talking for a while and then she approach his ear "Are you jealous?"

"What? No... Are you crazy?"

"Oh... Lucas and Julian... Kissing..."

"What are you both talking?" Sally asked, stopping in the middle of the corridor "Did you meet Lucas Roger?"

Both got quiet, but knowing that it was going tp be suspicious, Luan said.

"I read about him in a book I found, not a fun guy to be with."

"There is no books about Lucas Roger."

"Shit! Think of something quick." Luan ordered himself and then he remmembered Julian always carried a small notebook in his clothes "It was on a book that Julian carries."

"Since when he let others touch it?"

Luan was at loose of words, he looked over to Flower, but she was in the same state, but then Luan tried again, seeiing that Sally wasn't backing away.

"I stole it." He said, scrubbing his neck, embarrassed "He is a gorgeous, mysterious guy that I had to see what he was hidding."

"I see. Dont do that again. You must not envolve with gods."

"And Mor..." He started by saying but Flower covered his face with both hands.

"No!" She said soundless.

He understood and stopped talking, then they stop in front of two huge doors.

"Separate or together?" Sally asked.

"Together." Flower answered and Luan looked at her, confused "Don't worry, it's for the best."

"Very well. I will return with food, wait inside please."

As soon Sally disappeared at the end of the corridor, Luan pulled Flower inside the bedroom and closed the door.

"What are you thinking? We are boy and girl, what would others..."

"To talk about that gorgeous masterpiece."

"What masterpiece?" Luan asked, confused.

"Julian if course." She answered sitting on the bed.

That caught Luan by surprise, he started to cough then he pit his head on the nearest wall, hidding his face, but Flower could see the red at the top of his ears.

"Let's start, shall we?" She asked, sitting with a perfect pose of a princess.
