I bent my muzzle to the ground, my upper lip tickling one of the flowers. After smelling it thoroughly, I made the assumption that it was safe, non-toxic, non-harmful. I bit one of the flowers, chewed, and swallowed. It tasted delicious, sweet, and succulent. Quite soon, I felt rejuvenated, as if every part of my body bubbled with energy. The sore spots from all my spars vanished. I checked all the spots I had little cuts, they were healed... I WAS HEALED. I got nervous, but excited. What could this mean for me? I was a storyteller with crafting magic, training like a soldier to protect my herd, and now it was as if I was some sort of healer. Would the expectations grow higher? Would this be like it was when I was a princess? Would everyone expect and demand something of me?
I began walking, traveling the land with a quick clip. I wanted to avoid the flowers, leave them behind. I didn't want the expectation that came with them, the extra load, more demands. I didn't want to take someone else's rank and I didn't want to encroach on someone else's dreams. I hadn't even aspired to becoming lead. Would I need to be able to do all these things to become a lead? I hoped not, because I wasn't sure if being all these things was me... Was it anyone? Does anyone want to be everything? Jack of all trades, master of none? Sounds horrible.
