Petuna Village

When we arrived at the village, a wonderful sight welcomed us. A field filled with flowers.

C: It's beautiful.

S: I believe this is called Petuna Village. It's famous for its flowers and jewelry.

C: What would a shard do here?

S: They must have mistaken it for a precious gem and used it for the jewelry.

C: Guess we have to look around.

Walking on the dirt road, something seemed peculiar.

C: Where are all the villagers? This place looks like a ghost town.

S: There is a plague spreading around. The village must been hit by it.

C: Can we do anything for them?

S: You could, but you know we can't. We must keep you a secret. And healing an entire village would be suspicious.

C: I-... Understand.

I hated it, but he was right. We entered a run-down shop, but what could we expect from a place hit by a plague?

C: Is anyone here?

An old lady came out from the back.

Old Lady: How may I assist you, Miss?

C: That ring with the gem in the middle. I want that one.

Old Lady: You have a good eye. It's a rare gem, one of a kind. You can't break it.

C: How much is it?

Old Lady: It's seven thousand.

C: Here you go.

Old Lady: Thank you for your patronage.

C: Well. We got what we came for.

S: Then let's leave. We still have to find the last one they don't possess.

As we were leaving the village, a little boy ran up to us and nagged on my jeans.

LBoy: Could you spear some change? My family needs medicine.

C: Yes.

As I handed him the money, I saw the bruises and cuts on his body. He was sick as well.

C: Sebastian. I must help them. They die without me.

S: You can't just-

C: I have to. It's a blood moon tonight. They will forget about me the moment the sun rises tomorrow. Please.

S:... Come back before dawn.

C: I will.

C: You parents and the ones who are sick, can you lead me to them?

LBoy: I can't, you get sick as well.

I let go of my disguise, and the wings on my back grew. I healed the boy's wounds and cured his sickness.

C: You don't have to worry about me.

LBoy: Are you an angel?

C: No, But I am someone who can help.

LBoy: Thank you.

The little boy held two of my fingers and led me to every villager. I healed all of them. I was happy I could help them. Even if they are going to forget about me. I left the village in the middle of the night unnoticed. Well almost. The little boy saw me leave and waved goodbye as I flew away.
