For Mauvable's Halloween Trades


She was walking alone, sniffing flowers and smiling to butterflies. The little one stopped and raised her head, looking around for others in the area.

She was alone here, in this very green Forest. There were occasional calls in the distance, but they were far away and she didn't understand what they were saying.

Euriea carried on, walking aimlessly, though she felt like she was being pulled in one direction. It was an unusual feeling, more as if she was being called somewhere.

She slowed to a patch of violet flowers, reaching down to smell them, when she heard, "Hello there!"

The little deer bounced back, startled at first, before slowly creeping toward the flowers.

"Hi!"

She ran and hid behind a tree, peeking out slowly. She didn't see anything unusual in the flower patch. It just looked like normal flowers. "...H-hello?", she asked.

There was an awkward moment of silence there. Then she heard the voice again, "Yes, hello! I am right here!". The next thing that happened was incredible, as the patch of flowers slowly morphed upward and formed into a violet doe, looking almost exactly like Euriea. "I'm so glad I finally found someone! I wasn't sure if anyone lived here!", the flower-deer spoke, "My name is Lavender, pleased to meet you!"

Euriea slowly stepped out of hiding, still a little unnerved that someone would seem to appear out of nowhere, but she replied, "I'm Euriea..."

"Oh we are going to have so much fun, Euriea! Come on, I want you to see my world! I think you will love it, it's much more violet than this green world.", she laughed and motioned to where she had been laying as the flower patch, which had been covering a hole in the ground that went into darkness. Euriea slowly approached, looking down it before backing away, "I'm not sure about this, I think I should let someone know before I went somewhere."

Lavender rolled her eyes, "Oh you'll be fine, come on!", and before Euriea could back away, she was knocked into the hole, where she fell and screamed.

She opened her eyes, and was laying on solid ground. She sat up, looking around, and rubbing her eyes. Everything seemed so...violet...

Lavender was there, smiling, almost camouflaged in the environment. In fact, the only things that seemed to be another color were Euriea herself...and one odd green patch of flowers that was out of place. But the grass, trees, even the sky were shades of violet.

"Come on, let me show you around!", Lavender motioned one way and began to walk off. Euriea, looking around, decided to follow since she didn't seem to know where she really was. In fact, the land felt very familiar...but everything was backwards...they passed by the Pond, which the high hill of it was to the south and the beach was at the north. The river, old bridge, and Crying Idol were due west rather than east. Everything felt off...reversed...

Lavender took Euriea to a gathering of violet deer, who all smiled and bounced around the newcomer. She looked around at all of them oddly, still trying to adjust to the way this world looked.

"Now that you are here, you can become one of us and live here forever!", Lavender announced.

Euriea blinked, and started to back away, "Oh umm...that's okay, I appreciate coming here, but...but I have family back home and I'm sure they'd be very worried about me.

Lavender frowned, "But you just got here, and besides, you can't leave! We won't allow it!", as she screamed this, some of the other deer vanished, the world rumbled and darkened. One by one all the other violet deer disappeared, until it was just Lavender and Euriea alone. "I...I've been so very lonely...and now that I have a friend here...you...you belong to me!"

Her snout grew longer as she spoke this, a row of sharp fangs popping out of her lips. She also grew long legs, as well as several sharp horns on her head and body. Several eyes popped onto her her face, all staring down at Euriea as she towered over her.

The little doe cowered, "I-I'm sorry, I'm going home.", she spoke as she turned and ran.

"No! Don't go! I want a friend! You're my friend!", the now monstrous Lavender roared, and chased after her.

The little doe ran as fast as she could, very disoriented by the reverse world. She didn't know where she was going, she barely recognized anything and all the violet made her eyes hurt. Plus it didn't help that Lavender was a violet color as well, she would look back and have a hard time telling how far away the monster was, whose hooves stomped after her and made this world shake.

Euriea almost gave up hope when something caught her attention - a patch of green flowers. She bolted in the direction of them, now sliding to a halt and looking down to them. It looked like there was a hole there, but it was slowly starting to shrink. She quickly started digging, as the thuds got closer and louder. She tried and tried to open up the hole that led back to her world, not looking back anymore but only focused on getting the portal back open. It kept closing up, and Euriea cried, "Come on, please!!", as those thuds were now like explosions, she knew Lavender was right behind her.

The hole opened just enough, and the doe fell into the abyss.

-------------------------------------------------


She opened her eyes, looking around. Everything was blurry, but...but it was green. She was glad that it was all green.

But something wasn't right about this. The violet flowers were oddly big here, but worse...she couldn't move. She tried, but could only barely move her head.

As she regained her vision, she now realized her fate...her head was sticking out of the ground, and her body...felt like roots in the soil. She was a deer head within the patch of flowers, she...she was a deer flower...

The End
