  Next day Kristall didn’t shown up, and the two women were more the relief. Amira told Angell in every detail what happened after she passed out, where she had the stone and the crossroad premonition.

  “You knew what will happen?” Angell asked her shocked.

  The two of them were seating in the living room at the warm of the fire from the fireplace, drinking hot chocolate in two cups.

  “Sort of yes Angell. I didn’t know at that time what all was about, only that I’ve got scared. Now I know.”

  “Mother… let me tell you where Kristall came from.”

  Her mother’s story was nothing compared with Angell’s story. Amira remained shocked, putting her hand on the mouth,

  “Angell, honey, did you forgot what we promised to one another? That we would nothing hide.”

  “Yes mom, but it’s dangerous.”

  “I’ve been hearing legends about the Forget-me-not. Was the cursed flower of the island.”

  “How did the flower end up cursed?”

  “Through the Amara Goddess.”

  “Amara goddess? This is the name of the sea.”

  “”Yes the Amara sea, it’s named after the goddess who created the flowers, plants, Amara, after the legends. Was the supreme goddess, but she had three brothers. The name of the cities. Sunshine, the goddess of prosperity, of the sun and power, Moonlight, her twin sister, the goddess of love, of fairy tells. The legends says that the goddess Amara was sent by Mother Nature to give humans the flowers, as she wasn’t founding any place where to spread her powers, she detached a piece of earth from the continent and pulled it until the middle of the sea, a piece which no human can’t touch. Our island. It says that in four days, Amara goddess created the life on Ieloharis Island. In the first day she took from the ground and pulled up the Pya Mountains, and then she populated the island with a bunch of flowers. The next day her sister Sunshine came along for help, which pulled the sun to warm the place, special for the flowers, in the third day, Sunshine twin sister came, Moonlight, which made the sun set for the first time, and on the dark sky she pulled the moon for taming with love the flowers. In the last day, their small brother arrived, OldStory coming to help. He named each flower individually, creating legends, myths and the time on the island. Day, night, hour, the minute. How the Amara’s brothers didn’t wish to leave the island no longer, the goddess agreed to share the island and every one of them to have their piece of sacred ground. Therefore the cities formed. Amara took the biggest piece, where Sareville and Careville are now. Because on the island was still missing something, Amara took humans from the continent, from the most pure humans and brought them to the island to populate it. So the island ends up with humans which were taking care of the flowers.

  Sunshine called her daughter to live with them, the Rain’s daughter. She felt in love with a mortal and they had a daughter together. The Rain’s Daughter was cast away from the island by Mother Nature because she broke a supreme principle, a one that involves humans and gods cannot mix up. In her memory, Sunshine organized every year the Rain Festival, to call her daughter back; it says that the chosen girls were the followers. It says that one night; Amara dreamt something that she didn’t create before. A new flower. Was a shiny blue one. In the next day she called her brothers to witness the flower’s creation. Was the most beautiful flower ever made and also the strongest. But, because was no longer a free space on the island, the goddess created them in a cave, and there they were feeding themselves with stars. It says that one night, one of the gods, it didn’t say who visited the flowers and made a deal with them. If the flowers will rebelling against the humans, to take their souls, then the humans will vanish from the island, and the flowers will gain power. Said and done, the flowers were destroying the humans, getting stronger and stronger. At one point, Amara found out the flower’s plan and she cursed them. They would be forgotten by the humans, and remembered only in legends, and who will touch the flower will be murdered and s OldStory called them Forget-me-not. The flowers were hidden from human’s eyes but it says that the deal made with that god it’s still dominating. Forget-me-not it’s stealing the human souls for that god or goddess, which didn’t agree from the beginning for the island to be populated by humans.”

  Angell remained bag at the blue flower’s story, asking herself if sooner or later she will have to meet Amara.

  “Mom but… think in this way that Lovin died because of the flowers. He gave you a forget-me-not flower.”

  “It is true. Let’s hope that no one will touch them.”

  Right then at the door someone was knocking. Angell frighten lest at any to be Kristall at her door and to ruin their life again.

  “Relax, it’s not Kristall, trust me.” Amira ensured her, seeing her suspicious look.

  “Ok, then who is it then?”

  “You’ll see.” Amira smiled happy, walking to the door. Angell watched carefully to the entrance from the living room and she observed Lania among with Serena.

  The girls were watching one another, no one saying a word. Angell didn’t know with what to start and Lania with Serena probably were expecting something from Angell, like a sincere apologizes.

  “Why are you standing like statues? Get along already!” Amira said to the three of them.

  The girls were enough clumsy to not make a move, but didn’t last long and Lania started to cry, running to Angell’s arms, and Angell hugged her bursting to tears. Serena didn’t last eighter long, even if she wanted to be indifferent and ran towards them, hugging.

  “That’s the spirit. Now, who wants boiled wine?”
