Chapter Text

"Good morning my goddess!" Saids a too cheery for 5am voice

I groan as I wake up, I hate that I have to wake up before the sun to open all the flower buds but it's my job

I rub the sleep out of my eyes and place my feet on the ground

The cheerful dandelion dryad named dela holds my outfit for today

I stand up and let her dress me

She puts a white and lavender sleeveless chiton with gold arm bands, bracelets, necklace, earrings, and sandals on me

She then braids my plain raven hair and puts gold hair bands in

She then goes to prepare my breakfast as I look in the mirror

I look at the bright colors and sigh, what I won't do for black instead of white, dark purple instead of lavender, and silver instead of gold

Dela walks back in now holding a plate of breakfast and my crown

As I eat she does my makeup and puts my crown on

It's nothing much just a gold semi circle that has flowers engraved into it with some gems

After I eat i get to work, I take my sandals off and walk around and touch each flower and sweet talk it into waking up and blooming

A few hours later I'm almost finished when I feel a presence near

I don't need to look, which won't do much they are most likely invisible, I know who it is

"Good morning Rev, how is your kingdom?"

I hear Rev take his helm off and sigh

I turn and see him

He's wearing a dark green tunic with black armor over it and black sandals,  his helm is black with skulls, bones, and death engraved into it, which fits him as the god of the dead and death

"Hello bella, it's going as great as the underworld could go, how is this morning's blooming?" He asks

I touch the last bud, "just finished" I answer

Me and rev slip away getting away and watch the sun rise on a cliff, we do this alot, just sit and talk

It's nice considering that all the other guys except mark are after me trying to get my hand in marriage

The truth is, i like rev but he most likely isn't interested in me

He did though make me this flower crown that is black and dark purple, he knows my true favorite colors

I just want to enjoy this moment

A few days later

I have had never ending proposals left and right

I can't choose!

I sit in an empty field and lay down

As I think about each proposal, I feel nothing

But then I remember something

Rev had said when he gave me the flower crown "a crown that fits you my queen"

My heart fluttered thinking about it, flowers exploded around me what was all tall grass now has flowers in it, I mean I am the goddess of spring and flowers

I then realized something

 

The flower crown was a secret proposal from Rev to me
