Magic flowed freely through the air, pulsing like a heartbeat in every living and every breathing being. It made the water shine and glisten, the grass green and paint shining. It settles deep within one at birth like a seed, to grow over time with love and patience. Blossoming into gorgeous flowers, growing into strong trees, or become small and dry, thorny vines or gnarly trees.
A being may unveil their magic, feel it glow in their fingertips, burn behind their eyes, springing in their step, move like water on the tongue. They may use it for good, to help show how beautiful magic could be. If one chose to break free their magic of dried up branches, they may use it for bad, destroy the image of beauty. They will be outcast, they may have their magic ripped from them from their roots, leaving them gasping for air like a fish out of the water. They will have to learn how to walk on land, or will dry up in the sun and die.
To show one’s magic growth is a normal act of children, an intimate share of lovers, and a harsh judging of one’s entire being. It is one’s soul laid baren, intentions unveiled, future and past mixing to show the growth of one’s internal self.
Many use magic, no matter how small their being, or how powerful their growth. Everyone doing so differently, no one having the same. It is the uniqueness of self, to excel at one thing that no other may be able to do. No matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it is one thing no other can do like one self can.
It is one young man’s growth, that lead to his small fame. Golden freckles of magic dotting his cheeks, eyes always closed, as he uses his magic to create. He creates life, creating friends and companions, in form of plush animals. Creating whatever a person might want to have with them, a soft plush filled with love and magic, their bodies stuffed with the most gorgeous blossoms of roses.
His spells wither away like the roses inside his creations, slow but peaceful, never losing their initial charm. To create life, even in a small form such as he does, is something many people admire, and just as many despise. But all he creates are plush animals, companions and friends, for whoever might seek him out.
