Prompt:
"Oh little one, let me tell you the story about the best friend I've ever had, who I sadly do not remember the name of."
------------
Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a little lamb and she ran all day. She didn't have any friends, but that didn't stop her from running in the fields. The lambie didn't have any family either, so she was alone, but she never really cared.
She learned gardening and grew all kinds of flowers in her field.
She loved to be around them, whether it was running or sitting.
One day she decided to plant some trees, and soon her field had become a forest. A really dark and leafy forest. The darkness and silence of it was calming in its own way, even kind of warm and sweet.
On another side of the forest, there was a lambie tired of being alone.
They had learned the difference between being alone and being lonely, and they had noticed they were both.
So they went into the forest. They were going to search, for something, for someone. For an opportunity.
And they found it.
They found each other.
In the middle of the forest one called home, in the middle of the forest the other one didn't think about.
She looked at the lambie, and quietly said "Welcome to the forest of dreams", looking at them trying to hide a soft smile.
"Thanks?" The other one responded, looking and sounding a little bit confused.
Lushaer looked at them and cackled a little.
"Sorry, I just like to call my forest that. This is what my dreams led me to do anyways. My name is Lushaer, by the way, but you can call me Lush.
"Oh cool, you can call me Dasha."
"Nice to meet you Dasha, what brings you here?" The black lambie said, calmly walking towards them.
"I wanted an adventure. To find something that would keep me company so I won't be alone anymore." They said, walking to her side.
"I could be company." She had said, and the other one had smiled.
And a promise was made.
To never leave each other aside.
And they kept it, they kept it close to their hearts, as close as they could, for as long as they could.
But it wasn't forever.
Because nothing lasts forever.
------------
They spent time together every day, and the forest became their shared home.
And so they fell in love.
And they confessed and they were happy together.
They told each other their secrets, and understood each other.
One in particular ended up in the best gift Lushaer ever received… and in their last goodbye.
------------
"Lush… I can make things… Out of earth power, really."
"Thats amazing!" She had said at that time, and she believed it was a blessing, that it would be good. And it was, really, it was nice.
But the consequences spiraled out of their control.
------------
Dasha was cornered, but they weren't concerned about themselves. They were concerned about their lover's safety.
They knew that their ability would end up in chaos if discovered, and had told her about it as a warning. But she hadn't taken it as one, and instead had decided to help them with any problems that would sprout from it.
And that caused this to happen.
Dasha, cornered, threatened.
Lushaer, alone and most likely in danger, they had assumed.
They were both looking everywhere for each other from where they could. They wanted to protect each other, save each other. Sacrifice themselves for the other one if necessary.
Lush was running away from everyone chasing her, and her eyes jumped from one place to another as quickly as they could, trying to spot Dasha.
Dasha was trying to fight everyone off, and was doing their best ducking and dodging to get a chance to escape, and the only thing in their mind was Lush.
In the distance, she spotted Dasha's vines. The vines they could grow when concentrated enough. Or when panicked enough.
And that only made her more scared for her.
She ran towards the vines, and saw those particular sunset wings that they had glimmering under the light.
She was quickly noticed by the attackers.
"Fly away!" Dasha screamed, concentrating their energy into giving her their wings.
Lushaer felt wings grow on her torso, and almost hesitated to do as asked, but the look on her lover's eyes broke her soul, and her hope of saving them before herself.
So she did.
And it hurt.
Everything hurt, her head, her legs, her torso, her heart.
She was hurt and she was crying.
She was full of regret and pain, she felt like she was going through all stages of grief at once.
She didn't think she would be able to see her own home without breaking down because of their shared memories.
But she had to go, it was her only place.
And she'd have to hold on to the last string of hope that the love of their life was still somehow alive.
------------
The lambie stopped for a second, shocked mixed with nostalgia and happiness appeared on their face.
"Dasher... Dasha. I called her Dasha.." They said, with a soft smile, glad that they now remembered the name of their lover after so long.
