The Pipe Dream

Love. An emotion which sparks fireworks in a person's eyes and makes their life so much better. The fireworks explode in the person's eyes, making their eyes shine and sparkle with hope and happiness. It lets loose all the troubles a person has and makes them feel free, lets them live in another world where it's only them and love. Like they are untouchable. Yet, as everything world exists for some time but is not absolute, the same thing goes for love. The fireworks die out, the explosions stop, the beautiful colours stop illuminating the night sky, and the sky is dark once more, and only ashes remain of what was, what could have been and what was lost.

Flowers. The seed is planted into the ground and it is watered. Every single day, the seedling is watered and it grows. As it grows, the flowers' petals truly come into fruition and they shine. The show off all of their stunning and breathtaking colours and it looks like they will stay this way forever. However, it is one of the vagaries of life that time is limited, and so is the time to shine. Slowly, the petals die out, their once beautiful and striking colours turn into shades of grey, and the flower gradually wilts to its death.

"The flower within a person, however, doesn't die if the person who owns it keeps it alive. It will continue to get stronger and more upright till it reaches its peak, but nobody knows what that peak is since nobody has ever reached it before. Even getting there temporarily is merely a pipe dream, but getting their permanently is more unlikely than the world ending right this second."

"What we need to do", says a voice,"Is seize the all the 6 P. crystals and hide them somewhere until the right candidate comes along..to become.."
