City of umbrellas

Chapter 1 city of umbrellas

Iuna sat by the window. Early morning of purple haze of fog greets the early singing birds. Still dark enough that fire flys soar through the mist purple haze fog. With a cup of tea! Warm steam of a purple glow rising from my tea. For a moment its peaceful. Looking out my window. A view over the city. A sunny day. Wind blows gently through the trees. Leaves dance through the sky. I open my umbrella. A gold dust of little sun floated into my palm. It entered into my palm. Gold shined through my veins. My feet no longer touching the ground. Light of gold shined bright like fire that filled all through and around me. I saw in my vision two buteaful girls chosen to save the dieing raceOur city is called ludivene. Scientist in the lab far away, they study hard to try to find a cure for the disease that’s taking over the city. People are dying everywhere some of heard of the myth of a flower that can heal them and the search has begun. Our mission begins now. .

Many plants can communicate with one another same trees, but she has flowers. All of them have a way to communicate with one another and mushrooms, know how to communicate as well.

They’re like little headphones that you put on plants and you can hear the music they create. It’s very different and if we can figure out what the lyrics to the song is, we would be rich and fortunate.

Twins born. Seperated by birth. Two beautiful new born babys. Both girls Both with pink, orange and red hair. They are treasures. The mother took her last breath and said two names. Jagueline and crystal! Their aunt and uncle took them in. And raised them.

21 years later…….

This morning, jagueline woke up still drowsy still on medication that I took the night before yeah, I crave for a cup of coffee. I looked down watching my coffee. Stir ing my coffee. yet there’s a galaxy of clouds and stars rising out of my coffee cup. A cat chasing a lizard. Was my morning entertainment. stumble to get outside heading towards the brook. I put my coffee down on the rock and I stood on the very tip of another rock falling with arms wide open right into the water with a wide splash. It’s just my way to wake my weak muscles and my nerves that just get the best of me. A woman who lives alone there it’s a dangerous woman.

I don’t know what it’s like to going to battle to fight war . I am not sure what I am but I wait for the universe to tell me so. I don’t consider myself fully anything. I am a little bit of something. I love to paint. I love poetry stories I love to create different world in my stories, just old and lonely writer. Yet it is my struggles that make me strong and make me learn from my mistakes and let me become who I am today. My past is darkness of fire and smoke. Learn about me. You might get burned. 21. looking in the brook. Seeing my reflection. My left arm gives birth to vines climbing up my arm. Black flowers blossom. My right arm blossom with pink blossoms. I can be bad or good. Depends on my choices in life. We search high and low for a true love. I refuse to get married. We wanna adventure. we want a new life that we have to work so hard for that to be a part of nature. Most women have to get married very young so they’ll be taken care of. But I deny to get married. Do we really have to fall into societies damn nation. What is it that we have to pick a man to take care of us? Do we wait for Prince charming to rescue us? Or we become Warriors ourselves and save ourselves

. I’ll lit two candles. Three stacked books I reached my hand over the tree limbs where the moss had grown among them. I have fought spiritual battles, emotional battles, my pass. Is a cloud a smoked and fire. If you learn about it, you might get burned. A little green dragon companied me. A new friend I have made just now. I fed him a little bit of bread. He didn’t seem to care for it so much. I’m sure his favorite is probably meat yet when he gets big and grown I don’t think I want to think about what they like to eat. My hair burns likefire. Mystical smoke danced on the water. Purpose i long for. Adventures outside my prison walls.

In our city, there are lots of umbrellas hanging upside down through our city.

Woodland creatures they live in the forest. There are umbrellas that hang from the trees some float throughout the forest. One tree house are built tall throughout the trees. One tree stands in the middle of all the trees that surround it. The only way to get around to each treehouse is to walk on the boardwalk that lead to each tree bridges. in the middle of the boardwalk is a wide opening and in the very smack in the middle of it stood a tall piece of stumb and on top of the stumb was a compass, a large compass with a flower. pink flower inside the pink flower when it opens. There is a clock and it has a moon, a sun and stars. Itll chime loud. It floats with gold light. Floating planets. Moon and sun and stars. There are colored candles. At night about 7:30 . The wind creatures will light the candles going all the way through the boardwalk. It leads you down each path to get to one treehouse to the other. They’re hanging little stars that hanging from each tree limb, and they reach all the way down to the ground.

Flowers in a field. Grass lands that grow knee high. Flowers that are made of Flowers are gold.. in the middle of the flower is a rare clock. Dragons are disappering. Luna picked one of the umbrellas that hanged in the city of umbrellas. The tip of the umbrella holds a key. Each key is designed to unlock the butterfly tree. There she hid gold and diamonds. Luna come to the grass land to make clockwork flowers. Theses will be a cure to city ludivene. It also called city of umbrellas. Each umbrella in the city had a key. Only the gold kings army knew which unbrella hold each key. Some are special. In due time. Every goddess may need one. The gold clockwork flowers take time to grow. The chosen will be lead to the grass lands. For now it is abandoned piece of the world. Luna doesnt know where crystal and jaqueline are but she will one day meet them. Though no one has ever given luna flowers as romantic. She has witnessed love bewteen two forces of nature. Still thinking of the love bewteen a moon and sun. But there no time for it now. Luna has lived past many moons and suns. She has a innocence about her. Still young. She may live on just to fight against the darkness. Two crowns given to two redish hair. They are part of the gold kings kingdom. They are separated and will meet one day. Luna mediated to see them in the future. Luna looks back. She whispers rescue the gold dragon. And with help of friends i have met. And will met new friends. May love grow inside the gold dragon. Her name is nova. She will defeat the darkness that over comes the blue Kings Kingdom. This is our battle to win victory! Luna flys away.

123 …… ready…..set….go….. crystal at a zip line that leads in mid air. She wore a red shirt with American flag. Proud of the USA!! She slid down the zip line. Very fast. Enjoying the river below. Trees literally below her feet. The wind bracing her face with such delight. Reaching the end. They helped her out of the equipment. Her hair burned like fire. Birds chirping. She went hiking down one path. The instructor telling them about woodling creatures and berrys that are ok to eat. And those berrys that no one can eat.

Meanwhile luna faced a darkness that took over a blue prince. And she punched the prince in his stomach. He was warning luna that he take over all planets and earth. Although many have failed their own words towards luna. Luna poured white herbs and splashed it on him. He shook it off. Made mad at luna. He flew above the clouds. Luna followed the blue prince. She seen his storm Of madness. Yet he kept throwing spit balls of fire at her. She dodged each flame. He was becoming week. She struck him with a power sword. He was wounded. His smoke of darkness left him. He said his last words. He withered into blue leaves that floating into ashe. Again she win another fight but she not sure why the darkness choose him. She knows she loves her friends. This darkness is strong and she could not bare her friends to become with the darkness. It is a spiritual war among us. We will fight against the storm of pain. Luna seen many became intertwined with the darkness. She will the darkness leader and she will defeat their leader. Time is everything to luna.

A wooden bridge in the forest. A water fall beside it. A small empty town with flickering lights. A rush of fog spread all around. A a misty cold feel of the water falls touched crystals skin. A true haunting feel to this place awaken her soul. The instructors carried on. Leading the crowd through the spooky forest. Crystal staying close to the crowd.

Further along the path. There rested a clift with little fancy home’s structured in the clifts. There were trees hanging for dear life. Although they seemed perfectly calm. The lights inside the homes lit bright gold. What a cozy way to live. Who knows what wonderful the home owners life adventures that could only be spoken in books. For books take you on many adventures, worlds that a dreamer dreams of. For love invites a dare devil dares to take first steps into new adventures. First touch, first kiss, first home to buy. Maybe thats how it all started for them. Thought crystal. On the other side lived a quiet and peaceful group of friends.

A treehouse above the cliffs. Waterfalls pour down from all four cliffs. Down to a lake then to the river. Which eventually leads out to sea! Beautiful place to call home. It is summer right now. Few woman with butterfly wings. Each butteryfly lady has to attend to the seasons. A Monarch butterfly woman. First Lady is Amy, Amy’s wings are black outline on the edges of the wings. A tattoo of a monarch buttery on her right eye. Orange and yellow reflect sunlight of her butterfly wings. They need the sun to give them warmth during the summer, clouds form with teardrops that basically rain for spring. Winter is freezing and rough months to get by. Earth rejoices for each season. Rain It’ll give new fresh growth plants. Flowers. For her purpose is fall. the Second Lady Tami, has blue and black wings. She has a blue butterfly tattooed on her right eye. and last lady is lady Nicole. Her wings are green. They were born from cocoons. Just like small butterflies that enter the world. The tree house has a small enchanting door. And it has a few windows just to look out at the waterfalls in the green moss that grows among the cliffs and trees. Tammy is cooking up a pumpkin soup. At night as they settle down after dinner time they’ll play a game of cards called spades. Sometimes they will enjoy a game of checkers. The whole inside the treehouse was not huge. It was big enough for the four butterfly ladies. Amy, the adventurous one we jump from the cliff all the way down to the lake. Late night or early in the morning the girls would sit in the swing that hang from the tree a big swing that fit all four of them watching the sunrise in the mornings. And always if not raining out they will sit on the swing to watch the sunset go down. Fireflies shine bright at night even in the evening the sun just a little bit before it falls asleep and becomes nighttime. The moon shine bright, and the stars twinkle. Away from danger away from town and away from war. They grow their own foods, fruit vegetables, a small little garden behind the treehouse. The fairies fly all over their side of town never really going out on adventure. Does some of them. Do wonder if they if they could wander off yet we study about about kingdoms and so many different wars that have been fought. We sleep at night just never knowing the cost that it takes to fight for your loved ones and for your home and for freedom.

Jaqueline and crystal both has dreams of one another. Crystal became lost on the path. Jaqueline feeling crystal presence., both follow separate sides of the river. They walked backwards on the rivers steps that lead to either side. They hold their lanturns up at the same time. Scared that they are being followed. They bumped into each other. Turning around and surprised. Realizing they both looked a like. They hear a wolf howl. Probably the wolf is loving the moonlight. They both see a figure with wings. They saw a butterfly woman. The butterflies flew all around them. Clearing the fog. The butterfly woman floated above gracefully. Both in peace to see the butterfly. Pink blossoms fall all around the butterfly woman, crystal and jaqueline. The butterflies ladies fly to them. They introduced themselves. They are your cousins. Come follow. Crystal and jaqueline grew butterfly wings. They both were given maps to look after. They never knew how important they would become. On each map would lead you to follow the stars. There is a amazing planets in the universe. This maps lead you to them. Both of you are chosen to find the planets. You are favored by the past gold Kings kingdom. Your maps must be given to luna. She needs theses maps to return to the gold King. The maps must be hidden. So many knights have failed to find the maps you two have. I dont even know who any of you are. Jaqueline agreed. Who is luna??? Butterfly exsplained. Luna is a robot with a mighty force of powers. She looks after many souls. Some kingdoms have fallen to the darkness. You will have to be taught your gifts. Amy, tammi, and nichole stood by. We cant teach you. Although show you many that are written about you! Your mom knew you two would have to learn your gifts. There many different and alot of others who dont know their gifts. Luna might awaken your powers. Not everyone can have what you have . Both girls looked scared. Butterfly woman showed a glass liguid gold ball of her inner strength. Showing themselves with crowns on their heads. The darkness wants all goddesses. You are also in danger. Ill let amy , tami and nichole will contact luna! Luna has fought wars many moons and suns ago. She is part human. She has felt love. Emotion that most robots dont feel. She loves humans. Jaqueline and crystal sat at a brook. Talking among themselves. And catching up on times of photos of their parents. So shocked to know they are sisters. Amy, tami and nichole told them the adventures of luna. We are part of a story. They are greeted by luna. All stood up fast. They shook hands in greeting each other. Luna floated like a ball rolling around mid air. She faced the sisters upside down. Luna waited a long time for theses two. They realized screws and wires falling out of lunas arm. She wasnt bothered by it. The butterfly ladies danced. And luna landed on one the rock near the brook. Luna clapped her hands together. And now training has begun.

Crowns appeared on their heads. Crystal gift is poisonous flower. It is called trumpet white flower. The flower appeared in the middle of the crown that sat on top of her head. The crown that sat on jaquelines head. In the middle of the crown was a venus fly trap. The venus fly grow from the ground. It will devour her enemies. Crystals flowers also grow fast and tall above the ground. It will paralalize the enemies. The sisters are weapons of war. Luna being a robot. Can not be affected by their flowers or venus fly traps.

Training-

Luna tells both woman how to use their gifts. Now stretch your hands forward and focus. Let your mind flow with the inner self.

They hear the whispers of warriors before their time. From their inmagination comes to life. Their power rises from the ground. Crystals red venus trap was pitiful. Luna smiled. You practice unto your powers obey your commands. Now focus again. Later after practicing. The sisters went to a herb shop. There so many jars of herbalist traditions. They bought many herbs. They want to practise. They want to create medicine. Luna lead them to the grassy lands. Where the clockwork flowers were planted. Millions of them. She handed them both umbrellas.. at the top of the umbrellas were keys. The sisters with keys in their hands. The flowers were unlocked. It is the cure for the city of ludivene. The big clock in the middle of the city had stopped. Their powers gave the city of ludivene life once more. Sunlight danced over the city of umbrellas. The clockwork flower was placed inside the big citys clock. The citys people cheered for the sisters. They are part of the gold kings kingdom. They were many miles away from home. Luna took them the golden king. The king and his kindom celebrated. Both princeses were found. Luna apart of the king army. She has been given many rewards . Luna in military uniform. Luna turned to the princesses and exsplain to them In due time. I will need you to fight by my side in battle. Until then continue practicing. For now let the moonlight lead you home. And goodbye for now.
