prompt: Where did your kalon grow up?
iola
iola grew up in a small town that had more greenhouses than actual houses. The major source of income for most of the population was floriculture, or the cultivation of flowering plants. Flower Farmers! The few children that lived in the town were put to work after school, helping to fetch and carry when they were younger and learning more about pests and diseases, fertilizers and nutrients, pruning and cutting, splicing, breeding for color and shape, you name it. By the time she was 15, she was adept at the management and care of at least half of the species that the village grew. All of the children were covered in dirt and leaf litter at the end of each day, but iola generally left the greenhouses with small offcut flowers tucked into her hair, as well.
