How is he connected to nature?
Florus' life has been driven by his connection to nature. He doesn't remember where he came from, only the lush forest he found himself in as a young viscling. No one looked after him, and he was on his own. Other older viscets who lived there shunned him, with only a few of the kinder ones occasionally offering him food. He hadn't done anything wrong intentionally, but he was rejected due to his connection to nature. Strange events happened all around him that he had little control over. Anything from a tree coming out of nowhere to a previously normal bush being coated in thorns. Some effects seemed connected to his emotions, while others just seemed to happen. Rebellious visclings in the forest were fascinated by his powers and would observe him even though they were warned against it by their parents. They never interacted with him, only watched him as if he were a completely different creature altogether. Florus would try his best to interact with them when he could, but something always went wrong. They didn't think he was any fun so he was discluded from everything. If he would try to watch bugs with them, the grass would grow so tall they couldn't see anything anymore. Even leaf piles were ruined. The moment he would join them the crunchy leaves would grow healthy again and sometimes even merge to become a regular bush.

As he grew older he could no longer try to be happily oblivious to the way he was treated. The more bitter he grew, the more his influence on nature grew. The foliage grew thicker until the other Viscets and larger creatures had to leave, and the forest became unnaturally infested with bugs and smaller creatures. It became impossible for him to try to practice his powers because of how overwhelming the plant life in the forest already was. He thought if he left, there could be a chance things would be better. He had never left the forest before because he felt safe there, and had not been taught how to survive on his own. Food was not an issue due to his powers, but knowing how to react to situations or interact with others was.

He began traveling one early morning. He left a trail of clovers behind that some of the forest animals ate and a few even followed him. Various creatures clung to him often hoping he would create a new home or food for them. He didn't pay much attention to them because it was hard for him to control his powers, so he didn't think he could help. Things went downhill after he left. Each new village he came across was a new opportunity, but each time shortly after being accepted something would go wrong. Usually, he would try to unnecessarily show his worth, and that is what would get him in trouble. Something as small as reviving a plant for someone, or growing a farm would turn into destruction. A plant would destroy a house, or a garden would begin to grow carnivorous plants as he doubted himself. It wouldn't take much of this for the village to turn on the new viscet. As he fled his powers would take control and the villages would be overgrown to the point they became inhabitable.

Eventually, he gave up. He returned to his original forest which was still overgrown, but many of the plants were dying. He sealed himself in a vine mass. Small creatures would come to him looking for food often as it was hard to find in the thorny forest. He would supply them with clovers if he felt like it, but he tended to keep to himself and close out the world.

Everything changed the day Florus was awoken by the strong smell of smoke. He left his encasement of vines only to see the night was bright with flames. They spread fast through the dead underbrush. Even though the fire was destroying his home, Florus was fascinated. The fire was new and refreshing to see. The calls of the frightened wildlife around him brought him back to reality. The stressful situation forced him to take hold of his powers and do his best to clear some of the plant life away to allow animals to escape easier. With nowhere to go, they all gathered outside of the fire. Unlike them, he remained inside. He drew the remaining water from the overgrown plants into his pelt to protect himself and began searching the flames for the source. The fire was far hotter and more powerful than those he had seen in villages, and it was a clear night. There was nothing that could have started it beside another creature.

At first, he thought he was seeing some kind of illusion. In the distance, he saw the dark silhouette of a viscet standing among the flames. Florus didn't think it was possible. It wasn't until he got closer that he not only confirmed it was a viscet, but the viscet also had a mane made of flames. The flames around him burned an unnatural bright red rather than the usual yellow-orange based color many flames had. Florus was stunned. He couldn't believe there were other Viscets like him. With nothing better to do, he made it a new personal goal to follow this Viscet to its home. He believed that was the only way he would be accepted, and if he wasn't at least it would be different.

Florus followed him for nearly a year, nearly being detected many times. Eventually, the paranoia of the fire Viscet drove him back to his village where he wasn't accepted either. It was then that Florus finally revealed himself and the two set off to fix what they had destroyed together. Florus regrew the burned lands to their original states and Pyralis burned away the excess.

IGNORE

-ability to heal smol plants and creatures
-leaves a trail of clovers that herbivores especially love so they often attract small creatures and deer to them
-as a viscling was lonely so he just explored on his own a lot or played with small creatures like mice
-other visclings didn’t like him and their parents had them avoid him fearing he would hurt them somehow
-as he grew older he also got bored of just sitting around and began traveling, overgrowing everything he came across. 
-became more of a problem than a help because his plants destroyed homes
-after being driven away he felt bad and retreated to his home forest that was abandoned because of how overgrown it was
-only small creatures came to him in the forest like butterflys and all the plants he created were full of thick vines and thorns because he was bored and sad when he made them. 
-eventually, pyralis comes across the forest in his rampage and burns it down
-Viceroy is scared for the animals and helps them the best he can and heals the injured but is perplexed by the fire viscet, what he caused, and how he was acting
-he planned to follow him, but before he went he felt responsible for rebuilding the forest that was destroyed for the animals to live in because he was able to so easily
-when he began working he discovered it was much easier to regrow the forest from the ashes, and it was much healthier.  It regrew to its original clean state, but better.  Each and every plant was healthy and the ground was covered in fresh grass and many flowers and fruits so there was plenty of food for every kind of animal
-it was more balanced than the last with the thorns and thick vines gone
-after he was sure the forest was secure he rushed after the fire viscet
-he watched the destruction each time, helping escaping creatures as he could, but he didn’t get close enough to show himself
-as pyralis travels he seems to get more and more suspicious, and viceroy has to hide quickly many times creating cover for himself.  He is very naive and grew up alone so he isn’t too knowledgeable when it comes to knowing how easily another viscet could find him
 -he still isnt scared of pyralis even though she seems aggressive when looking for him.  He also seems desperate like he is worried about what could be following him.
-pyralis decides its paranoia over his home village and travels all the way back to confront them
-Viceroy watches him meet pester and their return to the village
-after the encounter he is found by pester and forcefully introduced to pyralis
-pyralis is surprisingly happy to see him and seems relieved someone was actually following him and he wasn’t going crazy
-they follow their path back and Viceroy repairs the forests and regrows village food supplies while pyralis apologizes for what he's done

- lonely old viscet, became a ghost when he died
- realized he could hear the words of the rocks, plants and trees, the tiny creatures of the forest. Just as the legendary Petrichor could. So he became the listener, going to those things who no one else could hear, and spending time with them, making them feel a little bit less lonely.
- the two butterflies are creatures who he helped... but they didn’t want to leave him. So now they follow him from place to place, as he goes on his journeys.

A egg. Laying alone, abandoned by it's caregivers, the green and yellow egg awaits it's time to hatch. What's that? A cracking noise? We'll just have to wait to find out...

Hexa

Aulelio frowned, his young, domesticated Viscet brain not quite comprehending the green and yellow Viscet his age dangling by her tail from a branch infront of him. "What's your name?" The golden and brown Viscet infront of Hexa asked. "Me? I'm Hexa, don't ask me where I got the name." She smiled, then frowned as the other Viscet just stared open mouthed at her tail, which was rapped tightly around a tree branch. "Sorry, I don't usually see other Viscets, expressly not hanging upside down from trees. I'm Aulelio." She looked at him closely, "Is that how Viscets normally look?"Taking in his large flat ears and tusks protruding from his face. "No, I guess I'm just... Special! Also, I know you said don't ask where the name came from, but please? I'm curious. " "Sure, follow me to my den, I'll tell you my story there." They trotted through the dense steamy forest, intill they entered a clearing Aulelio had never seen before. Bright flowers and sparkling butterflies lined the ferny bushes. A tree stood straight backed and upright, vines drapped down on it. " My den is up in that tree. "She pointed to the hazy outline of some wooden form up in the tree. " Ummm... How will we get up there?"Aulelio asked, confused at how a Viscet could ever climb that high. "Like this!" She snapped her fingers and two thick vines spiraled down from the tree trunk. "Ahhhh!" Aulelio let out a weirdly high pitch sound whitch sounded like a boar squealing and a Viscet scream as a thick vine grabbed his waist and yanked him up the tree. "Stop screaming silly! It's fine." She smiled at him as they zoomed up the tree. They soon reached a wooden platform that overlooked the whole jungle. It was beautiful. They entered a small wooden tree house and Hexa showed Aulelio the couch so he could sit. She cleared her throut and started her story.

Hexa's Tale

I was born in a dense wood. I had just hatched out of my egg, and I had no guardian. I assume my parents left my egg, for unknown reasons. Well, anyway, I was cold, hungry, and alone in the dangerous jungle, you know, like with jaguars and stuff.
"Ya, I know about the dangers of the jungle, I'm a domestic Viscet, so they kept me as a school pet intill I was big enough to go outside." Ok, Aulelio, stop interrupting! I'm telling you my life story here! I was alone, and very scared. I curled into a small ball and waited, for what, I did not know. I awoke, feeling suspended in a cloud, before realising I had somehow made it into a hanging nest of vines and moss. I started to freak out, you know, being five hundred feet in the air, and slipped out of the nest. I was falling, falling, a hundred feet going by in a minute, then a tug at my waist. A vine had snaked down the tree and grabbed me, suspending me four hundred feet in the air, it yanked me back up into the nest and that is how I first learned of my... Abilities. Next up, how I got my name. Once was I was young,
I wanted friends, I mean, the plants cared for me, but they wouldn't play with me. So I went to find a friend. I found a cliff near a waterfall and waited for a friend. "Heeeecccccaaaa!" The large, scary birds would scream. In the beginning, I didn't know these birds were large, and would eat me if they could have, so I responded. "Hexxccaaa?Is that you or me?"The only response I got were the birds repeating their calls, "Heccccaaa!" So, as my little mouth tried to pronounce "Hecaaaa", I said "Hexa!" And that's what I called myself. Now you probably want so more "In-depth" info about my powers, well I have the ability to manipulate plants. This may seem kinda boring and not super unique, but it has a lot more to it. When I was little the plants took care of me, so all in the "plant manipulation" category is, I can talk to plants, manipulate plants, and they can take care of me. That's why the helped me survive when O was younger. So that's my life story, up till now, of course.

Aulelio and Hexa

"Cool story!" Aulelio exclaimed as he bounced on the springy couch. "Hey, calm down, please don't break my couch...""Ok,
anything else you want to tell me, Hexa?" "Yes... That I think... We're going to be best friends." And with that, sitting on a couch, in a treehouse, the sun setting behind them, they hug. And this friendship was true for a very long time.

Prompt - how is this viscet connected to nature?

Born with the power to communicate and heal other plants, animals, as well as himself. Will Moss use his power for good or keep it to him self?

Moss bowed his head into the creek. He had just ran through out the whole forest sending messages about the war. There had always been a war between the north and south forests. Moss lived in the north forest so he was winning the war. Moss was always told to stay out of the fighting so they could keep his power safe. However Moss has been practicing his battle move in secret. One day I will fight in the war if they like it or not.Everyday for moss had been a constant "Moss, heal him!" or "Moss come over here!" He was getting sick of it. Everyday he would think Maybe I should just run away. Then I would not have to deal with this dumb war. The war was for territory.Territory! The most idiotic reason to fight. The whole forest is split in half evenly so this whole fight would never happen but here we are and its happening. Moss rolled his eyes as he lifted up his head. Today was just like every other day for Moss. He started to turn around when he had the best idea. Tomorrow was scavenge day, The one day of the month when everyone was out hunting. While they are hunting I can run away. I will be free. Throughout the whole day that was what was in his mind.
"Moss!" Moss lifted up his half asleep head and looked at the tall Viscet staring at him. She had tons of sharp crocasile fangs coming out of her mouth.
"What is it Pearl?" He had been forced to learn everyone who lived in the north forests name. "Do you want me to fix your teeth? We have been over this?"
'What?" She shook her head. "Moss stop joking around this is an emergency. The south forest is starting to invade camp!" She exclaimed. "They have injured the guards and we need you to heal them!"
"Heal them yourself!" He snapped. She looked shocked. "No this is an emergency. You must come."
"Did you not not hear me? I am sick and tired of having to heal every single creature who breaks a claw! Let me be!"
Pearl was speechless. "Fine! I guess If you want thousands of innocent creatures who have been I don't know trying to protect you from death your whole life, fine by me!" Come to think of it his whole life Moss was protected. Surrounded by guards every minute during his childhood and watched over during adult hood. They had given him food, shelter, and water. This was how he was going to repay them.

He got to his feet and looked up at pearl. "Take me to them."
It felt like centuries when he got. There. Passing by the same trees, same rocks, same bushes. Even though he was saving lives this was completely normal for him. Today I will fight. After I heal I will fight. AS he ran he thought of victory. I can stop this war if I try. He looked across the battle front searching for the guards. Finally he spotted them quivering under the

bush. He ran over to them.
"Where are you hurt?" He asked impatiently. They all pointed to different areas of their body. He gently licked his paw and touched every area that was hurt. The Wound then lit up and started to fade.
"We found him!"
Moss spun around. There was a wolf and a Viscet staring at him. They had marking of the south forest on them. Behind them stood an even larger Vicset. He must be their ruler. The Viscet pushed them aside and picked up Moss with his mighty paws.
"If we can't have you to heal then nobody can." As his deep loud voice ran throughout the forest a shiver ran through Moss' body. He is gonna Kill me! At that moment Moss did what every creature would do in danger. Fight back. He started to claw the leader's face with his hind claws. The leader dropped him. Moss looked up noticing that there was a new scar across his eye.
"Get him!"
Moss jumped to his paws getting ready to attack again when an odd figure jumped in front of him. Pearl.
She looked back at him. "Stay back!" Is she crazy?
He got right next to her. " I did not come here to heal. I came here to fight."
She looked puzzled as if she was trying to say 'is he deliberately trying to get himself killed?' but then respectfully nodded. Pearl Jumped up and clung on to the leader's snout. While she did that Moss was snapping and biting his feet that way he would move back. Yes we are getting closer to the river.Just a few more steps. Suddenly they were at the edge unable to see the leader took at step back trying to gain balance. Pearl kicked him as she let go.
He stumbled and fell into the deep river.
"We won!" She reached around and gave him a hug. "Thank you the war is over." Creatures from both forests gathered around both of them cheering their names. What is this new feeling? Moss felt something he had never felt before. He was happy. Now that the war is over maybe I can stay here. Now maybe I can see what Love really is.
After the war Moss still used his power but very rarely. Moss was still his grumpy self but now just a little bit happy. There was even word around the forest that they would teach others to heal and bring both forests together. As for Pearl she found someone she could love.(:cough: :cough: Moss)
