Strange caricatures seemed poised, waiting. Caught in the wavering glow of seemingly endless fog. Their lights also seemed to beckon travelers toward a distant destination. Shera grinned maliciously. She had been assigned a hateful task. No one will venture into this hateful place. Her people had been keeping vigil here for hundreds of years. So long, why must they continue. Her violet eyes glowed softly, some have taken shape as tree like. She wanted to scream, dance and move. She would rather become like a serpent, as some others have. Their long bodies slithered among the branches. But they had lost the sharing, the ability to connect their slow growing tendrils seeped into the swamp and intertwined with others. Her heavy lidded eyes peered anxiously into the mist, where were the little ones. The darting, moving, dancing younger selves. They seemed to have disappeared. Tears slowly streamed down, she began to mourn the loss of self. Slowly she grew to anger, and with effort began to gather the furthest essence of herself, come back to me. Not one of her kinsmen seemed to detect her shift of focus. Sweating with effort she reformed limbs forgotten. Exhausted she moved, oh, she gasped as fluids flowed from her open mouth. She lay quivering in the mist. Slowly some strength returned and she began to crawl, the flowers, once I have eaten some I will have become more than I was, but less. After all, plants do not eat, digest. She put the white bloom into her mouth and chewed, it was difficult to swallow. She felt the petals gently melt and flow within her. Their texture seemed like cool mint, she felt a radiance within that gently flowed down and out. She smiled, the petals radiated within her and her body began to glow. Wow, I didn`t realize how much I missed this. Suddenly her body began to spasm, a strange quivering began, radiating from her tummy. She rolled in a strange anticipatory way. Like she knew what was coming. The vibrations within became stronger and more focused, she gasped in horror and delight. The pain seemed to blossom, just between her shoulder blades and she collapsed into a deep sleep like trance.
