Gardening

Yulia and Cherchiel listen to the voices as they watch the flower and then Yulia carefully approaches the flower, holding one of the waterskins carefully. She cautiously begins to pour some water onto the flower. As the water pours onto the flower it begins to slowly bloom. Yulia at this point decides to quickly back away and get ready to cast Icicle if need be.

The flower blooms, it's petals spreading open and in the center of the flower there's a tiny naked fairy girl. She appears to be sleeping peacefully inside the flower. However, she begins to stir as the flower opens and sits up, stretching her arms above her head, which has the effect of pulling up a pair of proportionally large breasts with dark purple nipples. Her skin is fair, but with green hues around the edges of her body, particularly around her face, stomach, sides of her legs and arms and just above and below her breasts. She has a head of dark red hair that falls down to chin length. She opens her eyes revealing them to be large and bright green with no sclera and tiny pinprick pupils. She blinks a few times before focusing on Yulia and her bright red painted lips curl into a smile.

"Ooh, are you the chosen? I've been waiting for you!" she says and her pink and yellow, butterfly styled wings begin to flap quickly as she leaps off the flower and flits into the air, circling around Yulia quickly as she examines her, "you took your time, I fell asleep waiting for you! My name is Muma and I will be acting as your guide on this floor and potentially some future floors, but well that's up to you!" she explains in a cheerful and rapid speech, her voice is high and she speaks quite quickly.

"Guide?" Yulia asks, uncertain what that entails in this context and Muma nods before landing on Yulia's head, sitting down, crosslegged and placing her hands in her lap.

"From this floor onward things are going to get more complicated and you're going to need a guide to help you. While you're on this floor I'm going to be following you along and providing you with information on some of the new and interesting things you'll encounter going forward and how you can use them to your advantage," she explains and then hesitates, "or how they can hinder and/or kill you, I guess..." she finishes and then giggles, "but don't worry you'll be fine,"

She turns her head and glances at Cherchiel, "I see you already got yourself a companion, that's useful, you'll potentially be picking up more Companions, some of them will be very useful, your current one is... not one of those, but I'm sure she's still helpful in her own way," she says and Cherchiel looks slightly offended, but Muma just responds by sticking her tongue out at her before continuing, "You'll have an important choice on this floor, it's sort of like the angel or demon path choice from before, but this choice will decide more than just the next floor, for one thing it will decide whether I continue being your guide or... Dreg comes back," she says and shivers.

Yulia seems to be uncertain how to respond to this sudden development, but suddenly Muma interrupts her thoughts starting to rap her knuckles on Yulia's head, "hey I'm famished you got any food? If not we can definitely find some food down the forest path," she says pointing towards the dark and narrow path,"all kinds of sweet and juicy fruits down that way we should go down that way immediately and completely ignore that other path," she says quickly, "definitely nothing good down that path," she adds. Yulia looks to the suggested path, but doesn't move.

Muma sits on Yulia's head waiting and then starts to knock on her head again, "hello! Why aren't you going already? What are you waiting for?" she asks annoyed and Cherchiel responds.

"She's waiting for the voices..." she explains and Muma blinks.

"Oh... Right... Yeah... I forgot about that whole thing..." she mumbles sheepishly and sighs before lying down on Yulia's head, stretching out staring up at the sun as she waits.
