Chuco snuggled down into her warm bed and sighed happily today had been one of those days that seemed to go on forever but it was so full of wonderful new discoveries that she wouldn’t trade it for the world. You see Chuco was a chocolate artisan and using her magic could create the most intricate and delicious chocolate sculptures and desserts she had been making them since she was just a little bubble at her mothers side learning the profession from her. Today though Chuco had discovered some thing new, something that excited her and she felt would bring her creations and chocolate work to a whole new level. Today she had visited the royal gardens and found two of the trees calling to her, she had always been good with tropical plants but never had she felt any of them calling to her the way these two did. They whispered of places far way from Atheon and the treasures they grew. Getting closer she placed a paw on the trunk of the closest tree and felt a thrill go through her like electricity, this was a Cacao tree!!! She danced in place with her paw still on the trunk and she could tell the tree was sickening from an unknown fungus and was asking her to save it. She had never really worked with plant’s before just the fruit it produced. Taking a deep breath and centering herself Chuco reached down into her magic and poured it into the sickly tree. It jumped and twisted under her paws the ground rolling and sending her tumbling to the ground. The sprites who cared for the Royal garden came running and Chuco blinked in surprise exhausted by the massive use of magic. The tree was no longer sick, it had grown into a massive tree bearing huge cacao pods that let the scent of chocolate drift throughout the area denting it with a delicious sweetness that reminded Chuco of her workshop. The thing that surprised her most was that not only did the chocolate tree grow so did the coffee tree next to it, twining around the cacao tree and providing it with support and encouragement. Shaking herself out of the daze she looked up at the gardeners who were looking at her in shock and amazement. Slowly getting to her feet Chuco could see that the trees dwarfed almost everything around them and their whispers were now a jubilant song in her head and heart. Reaching out once more to touch the trees Chuco giggled because she could feel that warm and loving coming from the trees that her mother had talked about when making chocolates and sculptures for others. They were so happy and full of magic Chuco could hear the gardeners whispering about it and staring at her. The trees begin move as one starling Chuco as they scooped her up into their branches. Breathing heavily she tried to clam herself reasoning that if the treated wanted to hurt her, they wouldn’t be so jubilant. She sighed trying to let any remaining tension go and resting against the trunk as the tree continued to move, much more slowly as the vines and branches twist about Chuco found herself presented with three perfect cacao pods and numerous green coffee beans. One of the pods was beginning to sprout. It looked like the same with some of the coffee beans, and she somehow knew that if she went home and planted these trees, they would give her the best chocolate and coffee in the valley as a gift for saving these two.
At home in her bed Chuco smiled drowsily recounting the feeling of being blessed by the Royal trees. After many hours of questions from the Royal gardeners, she had been free to go home, and reaching her little green home and workshop she had immediately planted the pod and the coffee seeds somehow knowing that they would reach full maturity very quickly, because she could already hear them singing heavily in the dirt between our house and the workshop, and as she drifted to sleep, listening to their songs Chuco knew it was just the beginning of a new adventure that would help her make her own family now that she had discovered her own path and the key to her true magic
