I slowly creep into the forest, taking careful steps. I try not to think about the darkness or possible creatures out here.

I just need to find some pretty flowers for Erebus. And maybe some fruit for me. I'm surprised I haven't passed out yet from the lack of food I had. But I've made sure to stay hydrated.

Now that I think about it, momma would be proud I haven't eaten. I should tell her that in my letter that I plan to send out tomorrow.

I'm careful to remember my way so I don't get lost on the way to my room. At some point, I had pulled out Mr. Cuddles for comfort.

I'm sure there's no one here to judge me. He'll just protect me for a little while and then I'll put him away.

I've been walking for a little while and still no luck on fruit or flowers. The sun is getting lower in the sky and I'll need to head back in a bit but I don't want to leave empty-handed. I can't help but pout, why are there no flowers in this forest?

I keep walking a little way until I see some color peaking through the trees. I run, dodging bushes and plants until I stepped out into a wide-open field full of flowers.

I couldn't help but feel giddy as I rushed into the field

I couldn't help but feel giddy as I rushed into the field. I finally found flowers and boy am I not disappointed. Who would have thought something so pretty was in a scary forest like this one? Flowers of every color littered the ground for acres.

Now the only thing left to do is pick some for him. I wonder about his favorite color. Does he like dark things since he is the dark? Or does he like bright things because he's always surrounded by the dark and hates it? Hmmm...

This is going to be tough. I'll just pick the prettiest. I can't help but giggle. I can't wait to make him a pretty bouquet.

After what felt like hours I finally finished my bouquet for Erebus. It's pink purple and white. I really hope he likes it. I personally find it so pretty. I want to make one for myself, but I don't have enough hands or bag space, especially if I want to find some fruit.
