The Start

GREEN SPRING PROMPT

Before easter, Leila first appeared in the season of Green Spring, making every fox in the realm thrilled. The realm's Hidden Garden was full of greenish florals, the trees sticking out in every direction, graceful and majestic. Leila looked around. She heard from Astral, the 'Creator', this was the place where she was born. This place, where everyone just like her lived and spoke.

Suddenly, there she heard a whistle far from the field of berry. She could see some figurines, far away but coming close to her.

"Hey look who we got!" 

One of the foxes embraced Leila on her back. She wasn't sure about them; they looked the same as her; but looked, full of happiness.

"Oh hi!!" Another popped out of the field of clovers suddenly. Her head was pilled with clover leaves. What- When were they here along? 

"When did you-" 

"Oh we're having a bit of fun today. And you know, a small cheatin'." 

The fox smiled out with its huge scarf-arm covering its mouth; seeming as it was trying to hide its huge smile. 

"So- how about you play with us TOGETHER!" 

How simple but loving, they didn't know who she was or where she was from, but asking to play with them together. Should I-? "C'mon!" They tugged Leila to the bush where they appeared full of clovers. 

-

"Oh well. Besides, why are you guys up too? Something like a weird food or stuff?" 

Leila sighed. Of course. The air stayed still. Leila opened her eyes, a bit painful, but still. Every two foxes were bursting out. 

"Today's the Green Spring holiday, silly!" 

"For the glory of the Mini God,  we are in a rush" 

"Of finding four-leaf clover! Ta-Da!"

 Then shows a four-leaf clover. Delicate but glorified, for the sake of god. 

"Whoa- You found it?" The fox nods. 

"How about you too, take a look for it? You are the fox that belongs here after all!" 

That warmed Leila's heart. 'A fox that belongs here' Hmm. 

"Then, should we start again?" the other asked looking around the field. 

"Totally" the other glees.

-

The foxes started finding the treasure of the god. "Ummm. Right here...!!" The other yelped jumping to the field. They soon gather to see it. Well- look at it. A three-leaf one- seemingly as it was joking to us; 'You got me!' Leila laughed out with them. The wind also greets and laughs with them; with the flow of the scent of berries and timbers. Everyone was running around, in the middle of finding clovers. Leila too could feel the softness of the green leaves of the field in the Hidden Garden. A softness she always admired and missed.

"Maybe I haven't heard your name." 

She opened her lips, tightened before with wariness. The fox running with her stopped. Now Leila could see and smell correct; full of laughter and delight. 

"Oh right. I'm Chi! A pleasure to meet you-" 

"Leila. Good to know a friend after rushing here." and hugs the fox, Leila.

"Thank you. Good to know someone to run with too."

-

"Hey! Come here everyone! Look what I've got!" 

Leila and the Chi stopped what they were doing; it was sorta embarrassing since there was one more fox there. "LOOK!" There was one small four-leaf clover waving to them, tightly holden by the successful finder. 

"Way to go-!" 

"Well we have more here," said Chi and drops the pile of clovers. 

"Hey that's full of three ones! Don't you lie to me eh?" Chi then shrugs and gives a little signal to Leila. 

"Umm, so we kinda 'did' found them." 

"Sakura knows everything. You guys are lying." 

The fox, who clarified her name our of sudden seemed to be upset. Well, they did a bit of cheating using Leila's ability, but still, they couldn't just let her down. 

"Umm right. Sakura, we did a bit-" 

'Nevermind. We are the same team after all, right? You win, I win." said the pink fox, swirling her beautiful hair with florals. 

"Oh right. This is Leila." It made Sakura frowns alleviated. "Nice to meet you. I'm Sakura, a fox of-" 

"She always says the last word, sorta 'exaggerated'." A thin air of jumpy air reached in front of them. 

"YOU!" Chi started to run away as Sakura threw a pile of clovers at her. 

The sun was falling. The breeze of warmth became cool as if it was trying to tell foxes to return to their sweet home. This was the house. This was the place where Leila was meant to be.
