The Grass Looks Greener On The Other Side の小説・ストーリー

Maxine stared out the window as the city slowly disappeared into the distance. The hustle and bustle of city living grew quiet, replaced by serene countryside. Tall buildings gave way to vast fields and forests, vibrant shades of green and brown that were somehow soothing, though she hadn't known she needed it. It had been a long journey, but she was relishing every new change of surroundings, however far from ideal the circumstances were.

CARLA My senses are wide alert and immediately we enter the Pack's borders, I feel it. The barrier around is strong and I feel that too. Watching from the car window, I find everything so beautiful. If this really is the top and the strongest Pack with strong Warriors in this State, then the territory speaks for itself, no doubt. The grass and trees are tall and very green unlike my old pack where the nature isn't well taken care of enough. As the car goes higher up the slope, I can't believe my eyes when I see a huge clearing afar back.

Maya’s POV The green paradise was a lie. The deeper Silas and I trekked toward the coast, the more the lush forests began to fray at the edges. The vibrant leaves didn't wilt; they flickered. Sometimes a tree would momentarily lose its color, turning into a wireframe of white light before snapping back into reality. The reboot was holding, but it was shallow.

The General was moving inside it like an animal that wanted to get out. June looked at the green jar. Then she looked at the horizon. The white ship was gone. The Investors were gone.. The world was still a bad place with a lot of ash. The green jar started making a sound. It was not a cry. It was a song that made the grey ash move. June looked down at her feet. Where the green light from the jar touched the ground the ash turned into soil. A small green plant came out of the dirt. It grew fast.

I complained with a grimace. Ethan giggled at me. The expression on my face must have looked funny. “It is not too late to go back home. I can book the nearest flight for you. I'm certain that your Ms. Geneva is worried,” he said, and I could sense the jealousy in his voice. I didn't reply, I just kept quiet. “The scenery is beautiful,” I said, looking out of the car's window. There were long stretches of green grass, green trees, and the wildlife roamed free.

And the older wolves, who remembered the world before, would need to learn how to hope again without fearing that hope was a trap. We're all learning. Even me. By late afternoon, they reached the border of what had once been the grey lands. The transition was stark — a line of living forest that marked the edge of the Blight's former reach. Beyond it, the world was fully green, fully alive, as if the grey had never touched it. The trees were ancient oaks and maples, their leaves rustling in a warm breeze. The undergrowth was thick with ferns and berry bushes. The scent of deer was strong and fresh.

I glared at him “Too poud” The day has become more brighter at this point, and we started seeing people rode on their bicycles to different places, “Life is so simple’’ I admired them “Hmm, this people do not have to worry about living in mansions, they don't have to worry about the bustling cities and craziness of this generation, just this quiet life and good health is all they seek, they always smiles cause to them life is greener on this side” Liam emphasized as he looked at the people with a dreamy eyes, and it was my first time seeing that type of look on Liam.

The world changed with the smallest breath. Grass brushed my boots. The scent of Vandwood struck me. Earth. Trees. Wolf territory. Old memories. Pain I had buried badly. The meadow looked almost the same as it had before. Wide. Green. Quiet. The edges lined with trees that seemed to watch us. The sky above it was grey-blue, softer than Emberfall’s burning brightness. Wind moved through the grass in thin waves. But something was wrong. I felt it before I understood it.

I teased. "That's a lie." "Then look me in the eye, prove it." My smile deepened while she stared into them. I was lost too, in those grey irises. Whether green or grey, both of them shared the same enchantment and beauty. "Looks like you're lost in mine too." She cleared her throat with a tiny smile complementing her face. I chuckled. "They're beautiful." I whispered as I inched closer. "You gave me a chance to be in your life Green, so please while this offer stands, forget your fears, every negativity and just focus on us and the task ahead."

(- - - ) indicates flashback I was patrolling the recently made grassland in Hell, observing how well the plants had adapted. The jaded jasmine shrubs were thriving, the lily roses were in blossom and the grass was sprouting. So far the plants had adapted well. From what I had seen, the new animals had thrived as well. I was pleased with how well things had turned out. Satisfied, I headed to the castle. "Very well done, Nyxie. I must admit, I didn't think this idea would work out well. Hell almost looks habitable now." Len walked up to me as I approached the doors.
