Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part One Chapter Two

"Hmm, I'm not a flower expert, that title would probably go to Taranza." Adeleine joked "But I believe this is some kind of lily."

Kirby nodded, and looked back down at the lily.

Bandana Dee sniffed at it. "It definitely has a very strong aroma." he commented "Funny, I wasn't expecting a single flower to emit such a strong scent."

"That might be because there's more flowers like this up ahead." Adeleine pointed out, showing her friends that there were more lilies further down the path.

"Ah, right. That would make sense." Bandana Dee sweated.

Observing the other lilies, the trio noticed that they were all a variety of different colors. Though the white ones were the most common variant.

Kirby walked up to the other liles, seeing that the further the path went, the bigger some of the blooms would be. "This might be a sign we're getting closer to something special! Let's keep going!"

The further the three went down the path, the bigger the trail of liles became. Some were small in size and stature, others were as tall or taller than Adeleine. Most of them had white colored petals and they all emitted a strong lily aroma.

Soon the trio reached a point where the path stopped, and opened out into a wide enclosure filled with various types lilies that were shrouded by trees. It was like a hidden garden or glade. Untouched by the world it hid from.

"Woah..." said Adeleine, marveling at the sight of the glade "Now this, this is beautiful!"

She then began to rummage through her pockets, and pulled out a small sketchbook and a pencil. "I gotta draw this!"

"Good idea." Bandana Dee encouraged her "But probably not right now, don't know if now is an appropriate time to draw."

"I know, but it's so pretty! And if I try to paint it later, it won't be as fresh in my mind! I'll just do a sketch of it for now though. Once I have a good sketch, I can do a full drawing later and maybe even a painting or- Huh? Kirby?"

Kirby had not said anything, or responded to anything Adeleine or Bandana Dee had said. Instead, he was staring straight ahead.

"Kirby? What are you staring a- OH."

Bandana Dee and Adeleine were surprised they didn't notice it right away like Kirby did. There, at the center of the glade, was some kind of strange plant. It was large and monumental in size, and didn't have any flowers on it. It looked like a bunch of vines huddled together, and each vine was stretched out or curled differently from each other.

Kirby stared closer at the vine monument, where he saw that in its center, two vines were holding something.

It was... a staff? Or was it a wand? It was long, with its handle being purple that transitioned into being pink at the end, and on the top of the supposed staff was a rainbow colored shape that kinda resembled a raindrop shape. The staff was wrapped up and being held in place by two vines. As if someone had put it there.

Kirby ran up to the plant monument. Adeleine tried to call after him, but he did not listen. He climbed up the vines until he got to the plant's center, and got a closer look at the staff. Just below the top part of the staff, was a star shaped... gemstone? Crystal? One of the two. What was certain though was that it glowed a white color, but the surface of it was blotched with dark colors, as if something was trapped inside it...

After staring at it for a full minute, Kirby slowly started to grab the staff and pull it from the vines' grip.

"WHA- KIRBY!" yelled Bandana Waddle Dee "What are you doing?!?!"
