"Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you please!", 
cried out a slender, long haired kalon, tears streaming down her rose red cheeks. She
lay on the marble floor of a winter white room, water puddling around her paws as
she tried to reason with them. "Don’t take that sinner from me", she sobbed under
her breath. The entirety of the crowd began shaking their heads, a silent no echoed
through the room. She had hope that they might be plausible but it seems they
were as obstinate as ever. Shattering lives and hearts once again.
Image
The largest of them stood, she towered before the large crowd. Belladonna's sobbing grew silent as she over heard her superior speaking amongst the few around her. The tension raised as they awaited the sentencing for the tribulation. “Punishment!", declared the large angelic figure. She was vivid with anger. If she could not control her anger, it was most likely more serious than she had imagined. Those close and far from her arose at the command, gathering towards the back. Her sentence was punishment, the worst outcome of one of these trials so of course everyone was on edge. Everyone, even Bella, agreed that she deserved it though, she’d disobeyed the code and entered the mortal realm without orders. Originally she was sent out to return an escaped soul, but it seems she felt she should return. Even worse is that she fell for a man during the trip, a king named Eddard. No matter his status or name, it was a mistake worthy of punishment.
In walked two muscular kalons, their bodies lined with thick armor with the crest of the gods engraved into them. The grabbed onto her back legs, dragging her down the corridor towards the forbidden room. She’d always wondered what stood just behind those doors, anyone who entered had never left. Not that anyone really entered it as most were too afraid of what would happen to disobey, why couldn’t she have been one of the masses and stayed true to the rules? No time to wonder though, what ever was going to happen was only moments away.
They threw her onto the cold, stone floor. She let out a low groan from the powerful impact. The room was much darker than the stories had said. It was difficult to tell what lay inside, even if she was behind its doors already. Around the borders glowed strange markings, runes possibly? They looked nothing like she’d seen in her centuries as a librarian or guardian. Maybe a forgotten language that was, well, too forgotten for modern records.
Too caught up in thought about these markings, she jumped at the sudden noise as another kalon appeared from seemingly thin air. She wore a deep red cloak covering everything. She seemed slightly familiar though, but then again Bella protected the gate to life and death so any life that’s ever lived or died has most likely passed her, making it nothing much if Bella had seen the other before. The cloaked kalon walked around, feeling for something until she reached it. When she did, she tapped on the cover of a book and a quill (or at least thats what it seemed to be, as Bella couldn’t see what was going on). As the other kalon tapped, it seemed to open. Certainly no normal book in that case, most likely a wizards scroll or an enchantresses journal. She began writing, the quill scratching the pages as if they were made of stone. As Belladonna heard the scratching, everything seemed to disappear.
She awoke moments later into a temperate forest, the suns warm rays shined upon her back as she laid on the hard dirt. She scanned the area, unsure of what was going on. Was that all a long dream? It couldn’t be though, if it was wouldn’t she be getting memory of this place or something of that nature? She studied the trees, the ferns, the flowers but it was entirely different from anything she knew… or was it? As she further looked she noticed something familiar about it. No, couldn’t be, it was impossible. The harder she looked the more she noticed. 
She was inside a book, not any book. The last page of a story her mother used to read her. Oh, it was a perfect punishment! Trapped inside the pages of her childhood without anything but plants here! She took a deep breath, trying to calm down and figure this out but it had no real effect on anything. In a burst of anger she cried out, ripping a handful of grass from the ground. Not only had she lost her love, she had lost everything. 
From there forth all the world was to her was plants, it's everything that existed in this space. No matter how far she ventured, only shrubs or vines would follow. So what's her relationship with plants? They were everything, her devils and her angels. They were the only thing she’d be able to see in her life time. No, no thats wrong, she could get out, but how to escape she had yet to learn. From then on she traveled the lands inside the page, searching for anything that may connect to her freedom. She knew, or at least hoped, greenery wouldn’t be the last thing she saw before death.

I thought I had a good character for this kal, but there are plenty of other people who will love them tons more than I could. good luck to everybody who's entered! I'm impressed, albeit intimidated, by all of your forms ^^

username: kaere
kalon name: "hella" stella
kalon gender: female
how are they related to plants?: Stella, a grey kalon spends most of her days, hiding away in her garden, comforted by her plants. She does not have much interaction to the outside world other than something being delivered to her. Stella lives in the outskirts, in an overgrown cabin with a huge garden. She enjoys her lilacs the most.
extras: will edit later.

v. plants are friends
ever since i was born, i've always been connected to
nature in some way. my mother says that when i wa
s born all the flowers in grandma's garden bloomed a
s soon as they brought me home. even her favorite t
ype of flower came back to the garden. their lives s
eemed to be full. i didn't speak as a child, i didn't ev
en cry they said, it was scary at times for my parent
s as they would sometimes lose me in the house but
always find me about to go into the garden. i seemed
to be fascinated with plants especially the garden. i
would sit at the glass door for house watching the br
eeze play with the many plants and flowers. my first
word was 'plants'.

growing up i didn't have many friends, and kept my  
fliation with plants. as i grew i seemed to take the sh
ape of my grandmother. she was a botanist as i wishe
d to be, and loved every single plant in nature. thoug
hi had never known my grandmother as she had died
the night i was born, and had been the one to ask my
mother to name me chloe which meant little green s
hoot. i wouldn't change my name for the world. my gr
andmother had saved all of her botany books and cat
alogs to be given to me on my eighteen birthday. onc
e i had received them i understood exactly who my gr
andmother was.. i was exactly like her in every way.

my only friends are plants, and always have been. i n
ever really connected with anyone else just like my g
randmother. i find something so pure and calming in t
hem, they are our soul caregivers. they take away th
e things that could kill us and breath life into us ever
yday. not enough people appreciate how special and
selfless plants are. they can heal us, and feed us yet
many throw them to the side. plants are friends..
taken for granted yet forever giving, let the little gre
en shoot grow. [ 358 ]

How are you related to plants?:
Literally and figuratively, my life is dictated by plants. I'm currently studying botany in a Masters degree program in my first year and I assist one of my professors in his research. Currently my salary and livelihood depends on whether these plants live. So I would appreciate if you didn't touch any of them because the ones in the dark corner require me to sing them to sleep every other night while the ones on the top shelf over there require NO INTERACTION AT ALL. I don't care if you look through my notes on which plants need watered at what time and how much lighting each gets and what color lamp, however please do not touch the plants for my life depends on it. Thank you. Anyways my professor is currently doing research on these plants as as his assistant it is my job to make sure they are taken care of. However, I'm not thrilled with this task because he decided to choose the most boring plant ever, the Arabidopsis. This plant is known as the "model plant" (<-- just so you know that was said sarcastically thought its true) for most research considering how common and quick growing it is. However, WE ALREADY KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THE ARABIDOPSIS!! Literally its entire genome was sequenced 17 years ago! I did research in my genetics class in my undergrad program on the Arabidopsis and I do not understand what is so fascinating about it. Yes they are easy to care for (I would know that's my job). Yes they mature in like 6 weeks which is pretty quick and allows for more test subjects. Yes mutations in the genes can be more easily traced to the source because we know the entire gene sequence, but I want to research something new. Where is the fun in research if you are just slightly differentiating between the amount of direct carbon dioxide injected into the soil of a plant or deciding whether singing or yelling releases more beneficial carbon dioxide to the plants. If I was in charge of research (which once I get a fancy piece of paper calling me a doctor I will be) we would be during research on more fascinating subjects like Tillandsias! Tillandsias are amazing and beautiful plants. They look very simple but are so complex! You might better know them as airplants yes? No? Well anyways...Tillandsias are plants usually from tropical environments that developed to grow without the require of soil! The evolved and adapted to live high up in the forest in trees! They are literally little plants that grow on big plants. It is an amazing contridiction in nature since plants are thought to be confined to the dirt but these plants figured out how to reach up without competing against the already giant trees. I would love to be able to research these plants to figure out if there are other things they adapted to in their environment that we just don't understand yet! Anyways, enough of my rambling, its 4:17pm which means that the plants under my sink require 6mL of water and 5 minutes of sunlight. Hopefully the next time we catch up I will be telling you about my discoveries instead of my current overgrown situation with all these Arabidopsis.
