It goes all the way back to my childhood actually. Back to when my mother and I first made it to sanctuary.

I had spent most of my early days in terror of the things that lurked in the darkness beyond my mothers light. It was what took my siblings after all. Such  Experiences had taught me to be afraid of new and unfamiliar things. And I was very scared of sanctuary at first.... But as I got used it it I started to notice that many residents had a job. And I watched from my window as the magpies worked the fields. I discovered that the magpies were the ones that provided the food and resources that kept us all safe. And I greatly admired that. So I started training to become a magpie.

Eventually I felt I was ready to try my luck at joining.

They noticed almost immediately that i was timid and shy. It wasnt exactly a secret. The person interviewing me informed me that the job did have its dangers. Some of the unexplored parts could hold hidden dangers. Like unstable ground, pits, poisonous plants and even magma. They also mentioned attacks on the farms. That happened on occasion. And reccomended I join the doves instead. If I wanted to support the community. My timidity made me ill suited to be a magpie. I was actually close to giving up and joining the doves at that point actually roy! But

She offered to be my buddy of sorts. and join me on my expeditions so that i could become more confident and experienced with my skills. In theory It would prepare me for the dangers of being a Magpie.

Eventually loosing much of my fear of caves. Using her psychic power to illuminate the road ahead and teaching me how to deal with simple obstacles. However Mira couldnt stay my exploration partner forever... And eventually she was scheduled for transfer to a different job. Once the head of the doves was satisfied I could handle myself. That is.

so. I suggested for our last expedition together as “partners” we should travel deeper into the caves than ever before. She agreed.

A small offshoot of the caverns lead to a damp mossy cave filled to the brim with subterrainean plant life. Bioluminous mushrooms lit the cave. And water trickled gently from the ceiling. It was a breathtaking sight. And at its centre. A mossy rock. 

At first I convinced Mira that it could be our secret spot. Where we could meet and catch up when she didnt have to work. I didnt want to share it with other people. It was our special thing. And we visited the cavern many times.

Apparently if one spends enough time around a mossy rock they will also evolve... And once I returned home... i was constantly pestered about how I had become a leafeon. Especially by the ravens. No mossy rocks were known to exist in sanctuary. And naturally they were very curious and suspicious when I said i didnt know. After a time Mira confronted me. Helping me realise that keeping the rock to ourselves was selfish. And wasnt fair to the rest of sanctuarys eevee. And so we decided to bring the rock to sanctuary so that everyone else could benefit from it. It wasnt easy. Mira wasnt exactly one for physical activity like dragging a large rock through a cave system. And I myself wasnt that strong. But after a lot of effort and hard work we made it back. And presented it to The leader of the Magpies.

That very rock became the centerpiece of the community gardens. Apparently its presence helps plants grow. Almost on their own!

These days I still meet Mira by that rock sometimes. Its our tradition after all. ( @team-oldbrass @pmdn-sunfall @pmdn-team-circinus cameo by @pmdn-veiledhearts )

(teamicesteelpmdn) Alexis: So... You're a gardener? *she seems to be cracking a smile beneath her scarf* Nice to see someone trying to fix our food shortage problems. I'd ask if you need help, but I... Really would have no clue what I was doing.

Plants just need a bit of gentle care! You could deffinitely do it if you wanted to.

I could teach you if youd like?

Alvo: HEY, MISS, if you're working on experimental carrots, could we try them out? I bet they're still good as sprouts!

Oh um.. Im not sure i should …without your parents permission… they are ….experimental….. carrots….after all

"Hello. I've been trying to meet everyone I can, I'm a little newer to this scene. May I ask your name?" He looks a little shy.
