This was the first time I'd taken my lytes off my property, the closest being having them sitting outside in the rays of a summer sun. We entered the lush green meadow, me beside Flora and a Sherlock's jar in my arms. Dear Flora was released already and I was working on letting Sherlock out. However, just for now, I was going to enjoy the sun with them. "C'mon, let's go!" I chuckled as I placed Sherlock at the base of a thick tree trunk beside a pile of brightly coloured leaves, and danced in circles around Flora. "We have this whole park to ourselves. What should we do?" I thought hard. "Hide-and-seek?" I asked Flora, covering my eyes with my hands and squeeing, 'peek-a-boo!' "Or leaf-jumping?" I flopped down onto the leaves beside Sherlock and threw a handful of them up into the air, watching them rain down around us. "It's up to you!"
Flora's lytes - Spectrum, Prism and Flying Mint Bunny - trailed behind her, probably unsure of what to make of all this. I could understand their apprehension as it had been awhile since their last sunny day, and through extension since their last play in nature.
Before the Lytes could do anything, an odd glow starts around the lid of Sherlock's jar. It suddenly flashes and the lid flips off. It appears that the spell you purchased earlier has finally activated and Sherlock is free! To celebrate, he flickers out of his jar and begins zipping circles around everyone, apparently pleased to "stretch his legs" as you might say.
Flora "hops" about and her companions flicker around, trying to catch the racing Sherlock. Then, as if they had been plotting together, the four Lytes suddenly disappear!
For a second your eyes widen because you're afraid they've left you! But Flora's still there, and she seems to be flickering as if amused at something. She "hops" to a nearby rock sticking out of the grass and pokes it with her "nose". From behind the rock, Prism appears, strobing in Faerie Lyte laughter. Apparently they chose hide and seek! :3
I sat up quickly and my eyes widen in astonishment as Sherlock's jar flips open and the cute lyte finally finds his freedom and flits out into the open. I grinned at him whole-heartedly, letting out out a cheer of celebration as I tried to watch him circle everyone at the speed of light. Flora always had her little lytes, but now Sherlock can join in the fun! I felt a lot better knowing that he wasn't stuck in his jar anymore.
But then Sherlock and Flora's little lytes all vanish and an icy shiver creeps across my skin. I leapt to my feet and glanced at Flora, clearly panicking. Was it something I said? Was it something I did?
Before I had a chance to think, the green bunny lyte hippity-hopped over to a rock surrounded by a ring of tall grass. As she nuzzled it fondly, Prism rose from her hiding place behind the stone and hovered around Flora. The two of them buzzed with mischievous excitement and I finally put the two pieces together. Prism rose from her hiding place... Oh, I laughed nervously as I awkwardly scratched the back of my head, I get it now!
Understanding that it was Flora's turn to 'seek', I crept quietly a few metres away and hid behind a tree trunk that I hoped would be thick enough to conceal me from her view. I was a little worried about Sherlock as it was his first time outside his jar and I hoped that his excitement didn't get the better of him, but I knew that the other lyres would take care of him just as they took care of each other. Relaxing, I let out a deep breath, ready to have some fun with this!
