"It's my nectar," Celine explained.
A large leaf came and it had three apples in it.
"Are you still hungry?"

Emma takes an apple and eats. It was just as good as the last. As she ate she looked down at the pool of nectar. Her parents said flowers have nectar and bees drink it to make honey. Do bees drink this one too, she wondered?

Celine ate an apple herself when she noticed Emma eyeing her nectar pool curiously.
"I suppose you have questions." Celine said finishing her apple and threw the core outside the flower. "I don't blame you, I somehow doubt there's a ton of information about alraunes. You may ask me anything."

“Al-rune. Do bees drink this nectar and make honey? Why do you live out here, don’t you have a house?”

"An alraune, yes," Celine said. "Sometimes bees take the pollen and nectar from my smaller flowers but not from here. If they try, they'll drown. I do live here mainly but there is an ancient ruin I like to stay at sometimes."

“What are ruinds?” Emma finishes most of her apple with still some flesh around the core. She tosses it aside and grabs a new fresh apple

“It’s a nearly destroyed structure I found some time ago.” Celine explained.
Celine takes a cup shaped flower and scooped up some nectar. She passed it down to Emma.
“Here, try this,”

“You can drink nectar like a bug?” She asked not yet accepting the cup.

“This nectar isn’t just for bugs to collect. It’s perfectly safe for all. Please try it.”

Emma reaches out one hand to the cup while the other still held her apple. She first looks at the liquid, it didn't look funny. And it didn't smell funny. She then bravely takes a sip. It tasted sweet, better than juice. She then takes another sip that was bigger than the last. Emma has some more of her apple, but as she bit down her mind started to act different. Like it was slowing down.

Celine stroked Emma's raven black hair gently while taking the flower cup from the girl.
"You're a very good girl Emma," Celine said as she scooped some more nectar. "Keep eating and drinking until you've had your fill." she gave Emma the cup back, now that she filled it with more nectar.

This time Emma didn't hesitate and accepts the cup taking in more of the nectar. Unaware that it was dulling his scenes. She also eats more of her apple till only the core was left. As she drank the nectar, the chocolate hue started to change to a paling gold and was getting darker. The tears in her eyes came to a full stop. The sadness she was lingering about was fading.

Celine saw the girl's eyes began to change color from brown to gold, a sure sign of her submitting to the effects of the nectar. For this nectar provided not only the alluring scent that lures creatures to her but the nectar causes anyone who drinks it to fall into a mind-numbing state making them susceptible to the alarune's will. But Celine had no ill intentions for Emma.
"That's enough, for now," Celine said. She takes the cup once Emma has finished and has the vine holding the girl lift her up and brings her closer to Celine. Emma would be placed on Celine's lap and she strokes the girl's raven hair. "How do you feel now, my dear?" she asked.

Emma began to lax her shoulders and her eyes closed a little. The nectar was corsing through her blood and was soothing her mind to a mellow state. The little girl leans over and rests her head on Celine’s chest, just like a daughter snuggling with her mom. ”Safe,” she answered.

"Good," Celine says before placing a gentle kiss on Emma's forehead. She heard the sounds of wolves howling at a distance.
"I'll be taking you somewhere we can both feel a little safer."
Celine held the girl close as the large petals closed around them and sealed them in. The flower sunk into the ground and traveled through a series of tunnels that eventually lead back upper ground, only now the flower was rerooted in an ancient ruin. Towers that had fallen over time and vines with or without flowers growing everywhere. This was Celine's second home.
"These are the ruins I mentioned before."
