I am arisu.

I stumble across a beautifully-tended little garden. You might not even notice it was a garden, except for the straw-hatted youkai carefully and lovingly squatted down with hori hori knife and warmly singing to the flowers. I was completely transfixed but after a few seconds I composed myself and pulled together the courage to greet this strange and wonderful creature:

"The freesia are really beautiful, aren't they?"

She turned to me and smiled before returning back to her work. There was dirt on her face, and sweat beading down as the hot sun beat down. A nostalgic feeling from before I became a magician trickled through my body, and for a few seconds I hesitate as I had done so many times before slowly turning around to go back home yet again. I had heard rumors about a flower youkai with a total disregard for all others, who would only react (but with utmost cruelty) if one dared harming even the most persistent dandelion. But having seen her myself I couldn't believe those tales; anyone who sang so angelically couldn't be such a villain. I must admit that I was terribly jealous of those flowers so beloved, and their blooms were crowned with the red rays of sun which made them truly radiant in the fading afternoon.

"Afternoon...?", I thought to myself. "...the sun was just up on high a moment ago..."

--"But not quite as radiant as your blushing face"

My hands clapped to my face. There was no way that could happen, not since I had renounced the transient life of a human to this austere calling. Was she making fun at me? Perhaps maybe she wasn't such a scary youkai--after all, the villagers used to think so of me even when I was but the weakest of human magicians, no more than an amateur after all. Gristly imagery and a sickening cracking sound penetrated my consciousness.

I thought I saw the faintest of smiles, and I seven-colored out in a burst of purples, greens and red.

I'd choose Alice, for love of course.

I got a rock...
