Glass Lotus Novels & Stories

He had to admit, they matched the innocent temperament of the young girls perfectly with a chic charm. The next piece was a showstopper similar to Lara’s piece yesterday. A thin strand of white gold coiled like the ripples on the surface of water with ruby grains giving the impression of petals scattered carelessly. The center piece was the brilliant lotus which seemed to effortlessly rise from the white-gold strand. The earrings were a set of lotus buds on leaf. “Baby, you are amazing.” Ben hugged Dana and kissed her. He couldn’t believe the surprise this woman bought to him every day.

Beneath it, the water reflects the scene like a liquid mirror, shimmering with the warm hues of the fading afternoon. Inside, a round glass table with intricately designed white-gold legs sits at the center, set for two. Lanterns, shaped like water lilies with golden lily pads, are placed strategically around the space, ready to bloom with light as dusk approaches. Fresh floral arrangements—soft white peonies, gardenias, and golden-tipped roses—adorn the table and the gazebo’s edges, their fragrance mingling with the gentle scent of the water below. The entire scene is something out of a fairytale—something crafted just for me.

Lotus replied curiously. "There'll surely be a reason, and do you know what the name of this scent is?" Anita asked. "No" "Pomelo," Anita said. "Pomelo?" "Yes," Anita smiled. "Let's proceed with our walk, no grim reaper to take you away anymore" Lotus said, putting her down. Anita led the way while Lotus followed. The bright streetlights and the moon sitting on the sky plus the stars kept fascinating her and she won't stop staring at everything.

He met my eyes and I felt melting, so I stared at his chin instead. "Well, it's the lotus flower. It symbolizes purity and enlightenment. The lotus's ability to rise above murky waters and bloom beautifully is what draws me to it. There's nothing sad about it, just pure admiration." He gave my hip a gentle squeeze. "You seem to have so many questions today, mate." He lifted my face to see my eyes and thumbed my chin. "And to your unanswered question, yes, we had shared a woman before."

"Explain." The word rushed out of me before anyone even breathed, and I scanned Levi's face instantly—looking for jealousy or pettiness, or some kind of possessive rage. None. Just seriousness. Evan burst out, "This is a flower that grows deep in the forests of the northern continent! Constant exposure to the scent causes hallucinations—kills a person slowly through madness!" He grabbed the entire basket and hurled it outside the tent. "It's called a Lotus Bud."

She was pushing through to admire the necklace, almost as though she had been waiting for it. ‘Look at it, Lyse! The Astrydian Lotus! It’s the flower that the magic was sourced from!’, Bella said in awe and excitement. ‘You know what it is?’, I asked. ‘Yes. It is of great significance that you wear it now.’, Bella said. ‘Why?’

"All right then, one Lotus it is. At least I'd not be empty-handed." "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. We cannot give you the whole. The Lotus is a sacred plant that requires to be nourished in a pool of magic at all times. The most we can offer you is a leaf or a petal." "A petal?! That's rather miserly of you, won't you say?" mumbled Chu Xun. On the contrary, he knew full well how rare and scarce the Lotuses have become following the anomalies occurring all around Earth that one might see it a great fortune or luck only to have one Lotus leaf.

It began to dissolve into light. The Lotus wasn't a savior. It was a Filter. And it was starting to draw the "Essential Data" from everyone who had ever touched the golden tree.

Woody lifted the cloth covering the treasure to reveal a life-like lotus beneath it. It was made out of crystal stones and sparkled brightly under the sunlight. It also had 36 petals, and in the middle were light yellow-colored pistils which surrounded the green lotus pod. On the small lotus pod were seven lotus seeds popping out. Upon closer observation, Woody saw that the seven pods were arranged like the Big Dipper. The seven seeds represented the Big Dipper, hence the name "Seven Luminescent Ice Lotus". "Great! We're even now!" Woody picked the crystal lotus up and carefully placed it in his bag.

He showed him in every way possible that he was his special and precious someone. At the beginning, their life might not have been that lively. But after meeting each other it got more colourful. At first the other lost hope and a heart to love but after tormenting seasons he still found a time to bloom. Like a flower withering in harsh conditions, it picks up after being cared for. For Lui Xian, Feng Shao was his Lotus Flower. THE END
