Talking Flowers
0 ReviewsPeople talk and move, animals move but don't talk, plants don't talk and don't move. Just when little Reno thought he had it all figured out, he fond a talking floating flower.
Reno poked the strange creature. At the age of four he thought he knew what could talk and move and what couldn't. People talked and moved, animals moved and made noises but didn't talk; plants were rooted to the ground unmoving and silent. At least that's what he thought until a sunflower started talking to him.
Maybe that's why his mother told him not to run off too far when he went to play outside, there were strange things out there; of course that only made him more curious, and he poked the sunflower again.
"Stop that!" The sunflower pushed the boy's hand away with one of its leaves. "Kids these days have no respect... Ehem, I am Master Otenko!"
The introduction was followed by the sound of a childish laugh.
Otenko, the sunflower, pouted. He had tried to sound strong, and he was quite powerful, but that was hard to believe since he was a sunflower. He decided to overlook the boy's reaction and continued. "Tell me child, are you the long lost son of Ringo the vampire hunter?"
"Uncle is a vampire hunter?" Reno asked poking the sunflower again.
"I told you to stop that!" Reno didn't know that sunflowers could yell that hard. "What is your name?"
"Reno and you're really loud for a flower!" Another poke.
"I'm going to bite your finger if you don't stop poking me. Of course you're not Django, what was I thinking. Django must be a well behaved boy. None the less, you are Ringo's nephew and the runner up to be chosen as the solar boy should his son fail to accomplish his duties. Your energy is a bit different, more like electricity than solar energy, but you do have some solar energy in you, if you could learn to control that light..."
"Flowers are confusing..." this time Reno poked Otenko with a stick just in case.
"Stop it!" Otenko gave up, the child wasn't listening. "I must go find Django," and the sunflower started to fly away.
"Tell him to come play with me soon!" It had been a while since Reno saw his cousin. He heard the adults saying that something happened in Django's home town, but he wasn't sure what that was about. He knew no one would believe he saw a talking flower so he decided not to bother telling them, except his cousin even ever he saw him again.
The sunflower spoke its final words and disappeared in the distance. It could fly pretty fast for a flower. Though perhaps Reno would forget all about the talking sunflower as he grew up, or maybe classify the memory as a dream or his imagination; even if he wasn't certain who said it, he remembered that someone once said "may the sun be with you!"
End
Final Fantasy VII and Boktai crossover, disclaimer, I don't own either of those games. The solar energy Otenko senses is what later becomes to Reno's Neo Turk Light.
