OPEN RP-First Day of Spring
Iris had woken up early. She had known what day it was-she always knew. It was the happiest day of her long life, and the day she looked forward to the most the entire year. Winter was finally over, and spring was finally here.
Iris had dressed in her finest for this day-not that it changed much of her wardrobe, but she did add a little extra so she could look her nicest on the biggest event of her year.
She had run out of her tree home in the Spring Realm, her dog Cosmo chasing her close behind, and she sent out swirls of her pink magic all around the paradise. The sun was shining it’s brightest, and as her pink magic went all around the Realm the animals rose up and called out in roars and squeaks and croaks. To her, it was the most beautiful sound in the world.
“It’s spring everyone! Let’s go out and spread the joy!” She said, letting out a laugh, and the animals followed her out of the Realm and into the outside forest. Of course, the extinct animals stayed in the Realm all year long, but the rest of the animals joined her to spread the season of spring all around the world. Each of the animals carried some of her magic with them, and then they would travel near and far to help spread the season. Iris would help, of course, but having the animals made her job easier.
As the animals went off, the Guardian flew into the air and started to travel, shooting blasts of magic as she went by. Warm winds carried her quickly past the forest and into towns and cities. As her magic landed in the area, the plants grew green and fresh and the flowers bloomed. Her laughter echoed throughout the world, and the children held the joy in their hearts.
She stopped to rest in a field-everything she touched sprung to life, and flowers grew just as she walked. There were petals in her long auburn hair, and her eyes sparkled with delight. Iris couldn’t be happier than she was now, and the blooming environment showed just that.
The first day of Spring meant love was in the air, and Cupid was running double-time trying to keep up. His giant, feathery wings were carrying him across the planet. He felt like some sort of talk show host. (“And you get a love arrow, and you get an arrow, and you get an arrow.”) He was glad that his quiver was magical, so he couldn’t run out. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
As he was flying over the different landscapes, he noticed that it seemed to be blooming especially quickly in a certain area, as if by magic. He knew, of course, that’s what it was, and so he swooped down to investigate.
He saw Isis working her Spring magic. “Hey there, dove,” he said as his feet delicately landed on the ground. Some leaves had gotten into his golden hair on his way down, so he brushed them off.
He watched Isis do her work. No matter how many times he saw other guardians preform their job, he was always impressed. He looked around at all the flowers, and vines, and other things that were bursting with life. “Bringing spring, huh? That’s right - today’s the first day, isn’t it? No wonder it’s been so busy” he commented, picking up his pace so he could walk in time with the other guardian.
Iris turned, a little surprised at the sound of another voice. But then she relaxed, her smile returning. "You are Cupid, am I right? I have heard of you-it is so lovely to meet you!"
She brushed her fingers against the smooth grass below her feet, and flowers burst right from the ground and bloomed, their petals stretching towards the sunlight. Of course, she was showing off just a little now-she couldn't help it. Today was her day, wasn't it?
The girl nodded, brushing the hair from her eyes. "Oh, yes, today is the very first day of spring! And I have been dreadfully busy, but I have my animals to help me-plus, I don't mind the work!" She giggled, touching the ground for a moment, and with some pink dust more plants grew right from her fingertips. Smiling with delight, she brushed the dirt off her hand and looked at him with shining green eyes. "But why have you come? Not that I mind, of course! I do love company-I rarely have any. I'm just...curious, I guess you can say."
