Flower of the Sun I Story by Sana,Ukraine

Flower of the Sun

One morning, evil decides to destroy everything on their way. The monsters didn’t like those who chose the path of freedom and goodness. They did not like happy smiles, sincerity, or kindness… And there, in the dark forest, they become cramped. The monsters wanted everyone to be as evil as they were so that darkness would take over everything in its path. 

Moth led the monsters and ordered them to prepare for the offensive. 

“We will take what was stolen from them. Their freedom hinders everyone. And we will take the flower of the Sun, which they grow,” cried the old and evil moth.   

But no one had thought that freedom or joy cannot be stolen. Because it is everyone’s choice. No one stole anything from the villains. They refused the light. But the moth did not think so. And the monsters could not believe it. They thought the moth’s opinion was the only correct one. That’s why they started preparing for the offensive. They gathered all their swords, dark magic, arrows and bows.   

At that time, everyone continued to live in a bright, beautiful land. The flower of the Sun, which prospered and thanks to which the light prevailed, grew and pleased the eyes. It took a long time to produce this flower. Therefore, its inhabitants loved and protected it very much. A little girl with blue and yellow ribbons in her hair sat on her balcony and painted the sky with brushes.

“Today, you’re even more beautiful,” she said aloud.

In the evening, the sunset was eye-catching, and the energy from the flower of the Sun gave strength.

No one thought peace would become even more valuable than it used to be. The dark wizards began to cast spells because the sun did not return in the morning. Monsters, villains, and orcs, all who lived in the dark forest, were getting closer. They wanted to destroy not only the beautiful land but also all its inhabitants. And most importantly – the villains had to steal the flower of the Sun. The flower began to fade every second. 

The same girl woke up first. But not to the singing of birds or whistling of the wind. She woke up to terrifying, scary sounds. She ran out of her room to the yard in her pajamas. 

“Sky!” said the girl.

Now, the sky looked completely different from yesterday. Everything around turned into horror. Dawn did not begin with the sun’s rays. It started in the dark. One of the bullets destroyed the house behind the girl.

“My house, my picture…”

The girl looked around. She did not understand what should be inside those who do such terrible things. The frost ran through the skin. The monster appeared suddenly. Black, with large teeth and claws. The beast came closer. The girl looked into his alike black eyes. And I realise that those who spread darkness have even worse darkness inside.

“Stop it!” said the girl

‘’Your light strikes our eyes. You’ve come to an end,’’ the creature smiled.

The girl did not run away. She stared into the his eyes, trying to see at least a drop of kindness. But there was only emptiness.

“Why aren’t you afraid of me? ” Asked the monster.

“Because I know that my light is more substantial than your darkness. “

The monster screamed and disappeared. But thousands like him came, who brought destruction.

They hated everything nice and good because they dreamed of getting it. Villains got closer to the flower of the Sun. Black bullets flew from everywhere. One of these bullets aimed at the fairy house. She angrily took her wand and aimed light magic from the window. But the wand broke, and magic despaired. As the bullet got closer, the fairy grabbed a jar of cucumbers from the table and threw them into the black ball.

“Stop destroying us and our light!” Cried the fairy. The black ball disappeared.

Sometimes, even a jar of cucumbers will work against evil. Each of the bright land’s inhabitants would not give up. After all, nothing is as valuable as freedom, goodness and light. However, almost all of them have lost a lot of magic and power. The girl with blue and yellow ribbons in her hair didn’t give up either. The villains destroyed her house, but not her faith. The girl stood motionless and directed all her good magic that remained, towards the villains. Most black balls were still flying from the sky. 

“We will protect our sky, ” the boy who ran past, smiled at the girl. 

Eventually, the boy turned into a bird and appeared in the sky. He took on the black balls.

Everyone started a fight. No one was going to run away because this was their home. And the house needs to be protected.

The flower of the Sun is the most valuable thing that all the inhabitants have. But it began to fade. The orcs reached it. All birds, fairies and children came to protect the flower. Everyone who was able to run. It did not stop the villains. There was too much black magic. They snatched the flower of the Sun. Everything around darkened. While darkness devoured everything in its path, they tried to relocate the flower of the Sun in their dark forest.

The villains seemed to have destroyed the land. Their darkness captured everything.

Nevertheless, through the boundless darkness, a faint little light shone. It was the girl with blue and yellow ribbons. She said something softly and used her latest magic to grow seeds. The girl sat down and laid them on the ground.

Meanwhile, they tried to plant stolen flowers in a dark forest. 

“Why don’t their flowers take root in our country ?! “The moth shouted angrily. ” Why ?!”

But monsters do not understand why someone else’s flower will never take root in their ground. They caught birds from the bright land and threatened them.

“Make the flower of the Sun grow here!”

“If evil takes possession of the heart, the stolen light will not help him, ” said the bird.

In the land the villains were trying to destroy, the seeds planted by the girl started to grow.

The light began to increase. Even a tiny drop of light can overcome darkness.

The monsters began to disappear because of the returning light. Their swords and arrows, with which they came here, turned against them. And they either disappeared without a trace or turned into mice and rats. The villains were destroyed and they did not win. Because they came to a foreign land, if you harm someone, it will turn against you. Even if evil prevails over good, it still will not win. Evil destroys not only others but also those who bring it.

Sooner or later, evil will destroy those who bring it.

Mice and rats began to flee in fear. The moth that sat in its burrow dried up. The darkness, which she wanted to spread everywhere, swallowed the moth.

After some time, the flower of the Sun revived, and the dark forest disappeared forever.
