Zinnia's Tree - Day 6

=== Day 6 ===
==== 1 Day Remained ====
[Note: they have completed the trial by this time.]
They blink, and they now stand at the top of the tree. Leaves surround them, covering almost all the light that shone on the tree. In the center, there is a deep hole, but it fades to darkness. The seven stood near the whole, looking upon an armored being that floated above the hole. The representation of Happiness.
Happiness congratulates them on their successful journey through the trial, for however tough it was. Happiness... She seemed so unlike the others. She never told them to not trust the child. She even seemed doubtful of herself. She told them the truth of Zinnia's plans, and what The Bloom really was. The Bloom was the name Zinnia gave to her plan- to rewrite the world. She'd collect the souls of others, and turn them into seeds. The bodies of those consumed were fused into the tree, and that made "The Forgotten'' grow ever so slightly more. The bomb containing the seeds- it would explode, and spread them around, creating more trees that would consume the living... and repeat the process. However, because of how Faewild plant life is... it would kill the world.
There was a catch for Happiness to help them... before Zinnia started with The Bloom, she made her daughters swear an oath. If they wanted to walk the Earth, they should never speak of this curse, and never work against Zinnia, for their mind shall perish and their tree body die out. Happiness was dying. Illios told her... that they will stand strong. They won't crumble before their foe, and their might will prevail. Both of the armor looked at each other... and it was almost like they were one in the same, if it wasn't for Illios's transparent body compared to the other empty suit."I do not have much time... REMEMBER... DO NOT LET THIS GO TO WASTE... YOUR FRIEND... IS KEY..."Their vision cracks, and shatters. They wake up... and turn to the dead tree that stands before them, in gray. Illios picks up a pure white stone in front of her, a stone with designs engraved within it. She gazes on the once beautiful tree, and stares. Her expression went from slight grief.. to determination. There was time. But how much? They looked out into the sunset- the sun was lowering. The sun was already gone when they first entered Happiness...
It was the 7th day. 6 hours remained.
