Habitica 03-2019 The Plant Monster

One day, a woman was watering her plants. The garden appeared normal, until the flowers started to shake. She could also see the dirt forming what looked like a whirlpool. When she looked at the strange whirlpool, she noticed something coming out of it. It looked like a strange monster made out of plants. The monster let out a loud roar, and then…

Stopped dead. It twisted its leafy head to look at the gardener. The gardener did not know what to do, she was rooted to the ground and the monster curiously approached her. It swayed its head gently side to side, coming closer and closer. It was right next to her face now, she could smell the fresh earthy fragrance of the dirt still clinging to its flank. The creature seemed to be looking her up and down, its head looked a Borgeon Vilia, but the size of really big beach ball. It stopped in its exploration when it came face to face with the bag of fertiliser in her hand. It nudged it like a puppy would nudge a bag of treats. It could smell the nitrates. Very slowly the gardener put her other hand in the bag and threw an amount on the floor. The creature ran in circles around the fertiliser excitedly, it hadn’t paid attention to where the gardener was, so she quickly had to step a fair few paces back, so she wasn’t thrown to the floor. The leafy animal slowed it’s circling and gently lay down upon the treat.

This could work, the gardener thought. It did not seem dangerous, more like a Great Dane. She did have a love and a passion for plants after all so what kind of person would she be if she shooed the creature away? Worse yet if she were to try and kill it! No, she would care for it like she does all plants.
