A Little Girl

I had one knee on the grass and my finger pointed towards an almost fully grown plant in front of me. With the belief that it was going to fail, I began casting a derivative of the 'Control Vines' spell.

However, that intuition of failure didn't appear. Although it got my hopes up, it didn't do so by much since I had gotten so used to failure after trying so many times.

...But then, the plant in front of me started to shift.

A strand of what looked like yellow grains began to grow from the green plant and hung down as though it was a limb dangling powerlessly.

I slowly raised my hand, letting the end of the yellow grains fall onto my palm.

"I... succeeded."

For a few moments, I stared at the plant in front of me in disbelief. Honestly, at some point, I thought I would be doing this forever.

So seeing the results come to fruition...

Was both unexpected and exhilarating.
