Moonflower Bud Novels & Stories

"But the Trial of Fire is for the uncertain. My children are not a question. They are the answer." ​I reached into the small pouch at my waist and pulled out a handful of crushed white petals—Lunar Lily, a rare flower that only grows where the True Bride walks. I tossed them into the air. Instead of falling, they ignited in mid-air, burning with a brilliant, cool silver light that didn't smoke.

He drawled, pulling his head back as if it was the most shocking thing in the world. I could feel myself getting angrier at his line of questioning, but I had to remember to keep my cool. He had the advantage in this situation, since I had no constitutional pack rights as yet. The beads chimed and the shopkeeper emerged from the back. She and the man nodded at each other before she looked at me. She had five beautiful stalks of the moonflower in her hand. Each had big, heart-shaped, dark green leaves and sturdy, slightly thorny stems, along with white trumpet-shaped blooms.

"I'll get to the point. What herbs were you looking for?" "Moonflower. It's a flower that only blooms when the moon is out. Its petals are bright and attract fireflies." Alan asked some more questions after that, but he wasn't able to find any holes in Olivia's story. "I apologize for what happened before this, Dr. Ophelia. Mr. Maxwell is a little quick-tempered. You'll be rewarded handsomely if you heal him." Olivia frowned. "I don't care for any rewards. I just want to be set free. Who are you people?"

A while later as we all sat down for lunch, Myles also joined us. He had been a lot busy these days and we all had no idea why. He randomly appears out of the blue to join us, and often goes back to his place. “Hey myles. You havent been hanging out much these days.” nikau said, somehow reading my thoughts. “Oh its just time for the winter moon flowers to bloom. I had been taking care of them.” “The winter moon flowers?” i asked curiously. Myles nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, they're a rare type of flower that only blooms once a year during the winter solstice. They're said to have powerful healing properties, and I've been working to cultivate them for our pack."

LILA Evening spread across the Packhouse in wide strokes of silver and blue. The air cooled, I stayed in the garden with Mara, the ground beneath us soft from the day’s work. The moon climbed slow over the ridge, pale and full, washing the rows in light that turned every leaf into glass. The crescent beds glimmered as if carved from frost. I knelt beside the central circle with the last pouch of seeds and loosened the drawstring. “These open only under moonlight,” I said, holding out the small white kernels. “Moonwort and night jasmine. They bloom when others sleep.”

Marcus joked along and we all laughed. I looked at Wyatt and Zen and turned back my focus on the three wolves, "The lesser powerful a potion made from a moonflower that is rare to find and only a few know how it looks and what is exactly used from the flower for the potion." I said, making Tanner clap his hands and point a finger at Logan and Marcus, "See I was right!" We all laughed at his enthusiasm. I continued, “The second one grants better results as it is obvious from our week experiment.”

I could see a stem growing out of it as small leaves, blossomed on either side of the stem followed by a few thorns and my heart skipped a beat. ‘The Blue Flame’ I whispered to myself as a bud formed on the tip of the stem after the stem and leaves all of which were blue in color had appeared above the column. The bud of the flower appeared and I waited for the petals to unfurl so that I would drink its nectar and ascend but nothing seemed to happen. I grew anxious again and I turned to Onigfer who also looked at the scene before us in confusion. Not knowing what to do, we waited and then something else appeared beside the flower.

But before he could completely pull it out, he caught a glimpse of an oncoming attack. He quickly stepped back and swiftly grabbed his sword out from its sheath before slaying the little thing into half. The yellow plant's roots were almost out of the soil so it was very easy for Ji Nan to retrieve it. He looked at the piece of instructions the physicians had given and felt overjoyed. It really was the jewelweed, the most effective herb to treat poison. He checked everything as instructed by the doctor. The sky was still filled with falling snow and a tint of black seemed to disrupt the little daylight that had been reigning all day. Ji Nan took off towards the camp. He ran with the only thi

he said excitedly to the others. The one with black hair closed his eyes, covering the irises that were the same color as the night sky. “She’s here,” he said in a whisper. He turned to the other three, a grin on his face, and continued, “The Moonflower.”
