Not just a fighter, not just a dreamer
Amazing creator, relentless believer
In who I am and what I got inside

"You too." Seren set off in one direction, careful not to stray too far from her friend. Now that she was only moments away, both pulse and nerves were starting to rush until her fingers tingled and prickled with tension. Drawing deep breaths to steady herself, she looked up to see Umbra's blue shadow wheel overhead. He would keep an eye out for trouble; she had the lovely task of finding the flower.
It took a long time. Searching, wading through sodden groves and along the edges of the pond, the sun was well on its way to setting by the time a powerful aroma touched her nose. Seren froze and turned slowly around, trying not to breathe too deeply while at the same time scrying frantically through the bulrush and fern for a hint of color.
And... there it was. A glint of something white, spotted and gloriously beautiful. The stalk was taller than she had expected, and the petals far more delicate. Inching a bit closer, Seren hunched down and stared at the plant, as though it was a living being she now had to outsmart.
"Maeve? I think I found it. Come and see?" Even her voice was guarded, and a quick glance to the ground around her showed that there were no other saplings of the same speciese near her feet that could get trampled or broken.
