Red Spider Lily Field Novels & Stories

A few scraggly bushes grew amidst them, their brown trunks twisted, their green branches like crooked fingers stretching out into the open space around them, but there wasn't much color, and nothing stood out as remarkable or beautiful. Except for one dark green steam in the middle of the field. It didn't look particularly special at the moment, but I recognized the plant immediately. It was the Moonlight Lily. It was well past dark. A glance at the sky told me we had about half an hour before midnight of the eighth day of the Wheat Month, when the flower would bloom. We settled in for a quick rest. We needed it because as soon as we got the flower, we'd need to rush back to the palace. The

The sight before them left Lucianne awestruck. Her widened sapphire eyes took in the large field of freesias of all colors before them. She took small steps towards a batch of red ones near where she was standing, and inhaled the fruity scent. Her Lycan mate was next to her when he asked softly through their link, ‘Do you like it?’ Her excited sapphire orbs met his nervous lilac ones as she said, ‘What’s not to like? Look at the flowers! It’s like they run for acres! I can’t even see the end of this field. It’s amazing!’

And then I saw them. A small, secluded clearing, untouched and forgotten. It was shielded by a crumbling stone wall, vines and moss creeping along its surface. The ground was uneven, covered in patches of soft grass and fallen leaves. But the flowers— Spider lilies. Their deep red petals curled in elegant arcs, vibrant against the darkness. Midnight roses, blooming like shadows, their velvety petals absorbing the moonlight. They stood together, wild and free, untouched by careful hands. My favorite flowers.

The woman didn't make eye contact with her but instead looked down and straightened her apron as she continued sitting. Outside, Driz thought the field looked just like Peter's greenhouse except a hundred times larger. Any color she could think of she found in the vast array of bushes in front of her, all arranged in rows. There were small greenhouses that were off to the sides of the field that she could see grew some plants upside down. She stood in place for a moment and admired her surroundings as Peter walked forward with his father to the small collection of posy flowers. She tried to name all the flowers she could as she found them, there were huge collections of lilacs and lavender,

His sharp eyes scanned the garden, taking in every detail. I shook my head slightly and crouched near a cluster of silver-blue leaves. “Stormpetal,” I said, remembering the textbook. “It reacts to body heat. You have to pluck it fast, or it shocks you.” Darien nodded. “Correct.” I reached out quickly and yanked a stem. A tiny spark bit my fingers, but I got it. One down. The others weren’t as easy. Bloodroot Lily hid under thorny vines that lashed out if you breathed wrong. Asterleaf only showed itself in patches of moonlight, and we had to wait for the clouds to shift.

I murmured, heading to the kitchen to make tea. As I poured hot water into a cup, my eyes wandered to the large kitchen window. There, in the garden, I saw Zevarion. He was kneeling, plucking something carefully from the soil. Spider lilies, three of them. Delicate, bright, and unmistakable. Then he stood and began walking toward the woods. At first, it didn’t register. My mind refused to catch up with what my eyes had seen. Then it struck me. The fairy. Her words. When you're ready, take three spider lilies from the garden and drop them into the waterfall…

And even the Wise Spider Goddess was no exception. “Now that you are up we can leave,” Mane informed Lily, and the Elemental Princess nodded her head in agreement. “We need to get back to searching for a Revival Grass,” Lily whispered and stood up. She hadn’t forgotten their purpose. “We don’t,” Mane smiled mysteriously and said. “What do you mean?” Lily was confused. Didn’t they come all the way to this place for that particular plant? Did Mane somehow come up with a solution when she was having her breakthrough?

With the road extension, Lily was gradually fascinated by the scenery on both sides. There were lavender flower fields with a sea of purple flowers. The season was already ending, so the flowers were almost gone. The rest were still in the process of being harvested. There was an elegant floral fragrance floating in the air, which was refreshing. "Greenfields," she raised her head and let the wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers follow her, feeling the beauty bestowed by this nature. "Actually, this season isn’t very suitable for viewing flowers. However, besides flowers, there are other good things as well. I think you’d be interested," Alexander said while driving.

Estella’s eyes were sharp, searching for the specific plant she needed. After a few minutes of walking, Estella’s eyes sparkled with recognition. She spotted a cluster of delicate, fern-like plants with intricate, spiderweb-like patterns on their leaves. “There it is,” she said, pointing towards the direction of the plant. “We’ve finally found the Spider Ferns.” Devon looked up at her, his curiosity piqued. “What are Spider Ferns, Mama? And why do you need them?”

Conri shook his head. “No, I haven’t.” An awkward silence fell around us as we continued to walk. The darkness began to live around, and the trees became more sparse until they were no more and gave way to a field. A cut path was going directly down the middle with tall orchard grass on either side and bright lavender flowers. They would have been beautiful if I hadn’t known they were so dangerous. The field was littered with weeping flowers, the colors ranging from bright purple to indigo. The pack fell into line behind Conri, the king straightening himself and his aura flaring out. We continued down the path as Conri held his head high. As we neared the other side of the field, pairs of pu
