Story:

​

​Flori has always been a gentle, soothing soul. Born and raised as a precious royal of the Floret Isle, she was treasured by her family and the island's citizens. However, as time passed and she grew more mature, Flori began to realize the weaknesses afflicting the floraliens of the isle. Their isolation caused many to fear other races. This is contradictory to the nature of most floraliens, who encourage race mixing for better relationships, protection, and inspiration to grow stronger. When she asked her family about this, they refused to answer and insisted she trust their ways over those outside their island. 

​

One day, a naturman warlock swam across the lake to reach the Floret Isle. Exhausted, he collapsed on the shore. Flori sensed the presence of a powerful being nearby and found him out cold and soaking wet. Using her nature element, she summoned vines to help carry the worn out naturman to a safe, warm place. 

​

In a large, hollow tree, the naturman awakened. When he opened his eyes, Flori was surprised to discover the young man was blind. She knew of a ferociously powerful blind naturman known as "The Soulless Warlock," and wondered if this man she had helped was him. Sure enough, after a small exchange of words, the staff wielding naturman confirmed he was indeed the deeply feared blind warlock from Edona. Riskond the Soulless Warlock. However, Flori was not afraid. She could tell Riskond was not just physically exhausted. His spirit was drained of emotional energy. She asked what happened to him, and Riskond told her he was attacked by an army of over 40 synapsian warriors. He managed to defeat them all, but was left torn and stressed from the experience. 

​

Riskond confided in Flori, saying he hated his life in Edona and despised their sacrificial ways that brought luxury and ease. Flori felt sympathy for the Soulless Warlock, and told him of her fears for the islanders' reluctance to fully trust other races. Their stories caused a bond to form between them.

​

Riskond left the isle after he fully recovered, and promised to see Flori again someday. Since then, Flori secretly left the isle to meet with Riskond in quiet, secluded areas. She knew her family and friends would never approve of her dating such a fearsome, terrifying warrior. However, in that mask of dark power she could see a good natured, spiritual, peaceful young man who was fascinated by the world and treasured all living things. Eventually, they grew to fall in love. 

​

Unbeknownst to Flori, her family is well aware of her forbidden relationship with Riskond, and plan to one day put a stop to their bond. How they plan to do this is still undecided.
