Grace left at dawn while the others slept. Once again, like she did with the Void, she wanted to check on the Bloom on her own before possibly putting the others in danger.

The forest grew wilder with each step. Trees sprouted wings and flew away. Rocks turned into butterflies mid-step. A stream flowed upward into the canopy.
After an hour of dodging random transformations, the rainforest changed. Colors exploded everywhere, not just green anymore. Purple grass grew next to orange trees. Blue flowers sprouted from red soil. The air shimmered with rainbow light.
[Okay, this is new.]
Grace pushed through curtains of color that hung in the air like solid things. Each one she touched left her skin tingling with creative energy.
Then she saw her.
The Bloom sat in a vast clearing. Flowers grew from thin air. Trees had leaves made of gemstones. Water flowed in spirals without touching the ground.
And the Bloom herself?
