Matcha Blossom Novels & Stories

"And with a deeper understanding of true taste. You have learned the principles of the Observer's recipe. Now, you must learn to apply them against Core Prime's most cunning illusions." Anya led them to a quiet corner of the courtyard, where a small, intricately carved wooden table was set with various small dishes. There were slivers of Anya’s detoxifying mixture, a few more freshly peeled figs, and several cups of a delicate, pale blue tea, brewed from the butterfly pea flower. "This," Anya explained, gesturing to the tea, "is your first lesson. The 'Serenity' Core Prime offers is a heavy blanket, dulling your senses. This tea, the essence of the butterfly pea flower, is a gentle breeze. I

The smell of smoke never left her. Even after five years, Inés still woke up coughing some nights, the phantom scent of ash curling through her dreams like a ghost refusing to rest. “Name?” the guard at the Delgado estate gate asked, his voice flat but suspicious. Inés gripped the strap of her cheap bag tighter. “Inés Montoya. I’m here for the maid position.” The man’s eyes raked over her; young, pretty, average enough not to draw attention, which was the point. He muttered something into his walkie-talkie, then motioned for her to go inside.

"Know what cherry blossoms?" "Perfume." Cheryl replied quickly. "Didn't you offer me a drink?" Cheryl asked, pointing to the purple bottle that was still being held. "Do you want?" Cheryl nodded. "Answer the right first, what cherry blossom is. Look, you don't know the name itself." With innocence, Cheryl took out her cellphone. The cellphone with the soft pink case began to be used. Cheryl saw many messages and calls from Mawar. "Shit! I forgot, I can't use internet." Cheryl grinned.

Unfortunately, the happy times were long behind them. Cassiopeia took out the pictures and tore off Lucas's figure from each one of them before throwing them into the trash can. Anya and she were the only ones that remained. Halfway through packing, she caught the whiff of a repulsive smell. She frowned instinctively. When she went to open the door, the smell grew sharper. When she had taken a few steps forward, she was hit with a heavy wave of nausea and almost lost her balance. She staggered a few steps before planting herself against the wall. Her head felt like mud.

Rose asked again. “Fine, if you find that absurd. Let me give you another proof. Does your ‘Herbal tea’ have purple flowers with green leaves in the mixture?” he asked knowing the deadly content by heart. “Yeah, little at the top” She replied honestly. “In clusters?” He asked and she nodded.

If he survived this, I would curse him to death. My current focus was to find the two ingredients needed to make an antidote for Dimas' body. Black Selinide Mushroom and Turnia Flower Root. As for the Turnia Flower, I've seen it at the Glafelden City flower shop. Turnia flower was an annual plant with a height between 70 to 90 cm. Each stem has only one flower at the end of the stalk. The shape of the flower when the bud was like a drill bit but would be very beautiful when it bloomed. If the season came, the Turnia Flower, which has dozens of petals, would bloom clockwise. Because of its very beautiful shape, Turnia Flowers were hunted by people as gifts or decorations at home.

“Mom did you figure out a way to get rid of these visions? I don’t want them anymore.” “Yes, Dimitri is searching for a rare flower that is said to no longer grow in the wild. The Chocolate Cosmos. This flower is a rich reddish-brown in color and gives off a rich chocolate fragrance when it blooms. According to Dimitri, it has special properties for our kind and will help me use my abilities to take away your visions. The opposite effect of me gifting abilities that enhance someone’s natural ability.” “How long will that take?” “I’m not sure Maliyah, like I said humans have said it no longer grows in the wild. Dimitri thinks they still do so he has been searching for them.”

Adolph took note, “Why?” “Because of how much the Rosa multiflora, mahoe, and the winter daphne resemble the oleander flower,” she said seriously. “It would be like wishing doom upon the wedding to use any of them and they’re staples in most varieties of petal jams! They aren’t used in any jam eaten at a wedding as far as I know.”

I said in a chirpy tone and gave him a teasing grin. He grumbled on his seat and grabbed the mug of matcha on the table. “Will you just drop it?” He says irritably before taking a sip from his new drink. As he did, his eyes widened before looking at it. “What’s this thing called?” I looked at him weirdly. “Um...Matcha. I just told you that. Haven’t you tried it before?” “No.” He admitted, his eyes still fixated on the green drink as he took another sip. “It’s really good. Way better than coffee.” He says as he chugs it all down. “Alright. Let’s get started with our research.”

There was nowhere the food could fit in. Early in the morning, Rushan was the first to wake up. He kissed Lanzhu good morning and then went outside and looked at the cherry blossom tree which was green and still far away from blooming. He smiled knowing that it would come a day when it would still be full of cherry blossoms just like the one he had seen for years in the palace. It had been one of the closest things he cherished when he was in the palace. So seeing one here brought some nostalgia. Just like this tree, his nephew was also the same. He has missed him so much. After all, he was his only family left. Just being reminded of his smile made his heart soft. Gosh, he was very cute.
