Dream 07 ~o~ Don't You Just Love Mother Nature?
It was snowing at Hazakura temple (not that wasn't unusual during this time of year). After having an early morning mediation session with Sister Bikini and finishing her chores, Iris decided to take a stroll around the temple grounds.
She looked up, watching her breath turning into puffs of smoke. Iris found it strange that even after living in the temple for so long, it took her a while to get used to the cold it was so susceptible to. The nun then found herself closing her eyes, just concentrating how everything felt around her. The cool wind lapping at her cheeks, the way the her footsteps left prints on the snow.
Her musings, however, were cut short when she felt something hit her face. She wasn't hurt but it made her wince a little. It was freezing!
Snow?
After cleaning herself up, Iris spun around, looking for a certain head nun who was probably trying to get in touch with her inner-child by pelting the acolyte with snowballs.
"Sister Bikini? Where--AH!"
Another hit! And this time it landed on her hair. Shaking off the snow once more, she was about to call for Bikini again when the nun turned her gaze upwards. It turned out that the snow was coming from a tree she was walking under.
Relieved that she wasn't being pranked by her adoptive mother, Iris let out a chuckle before continuing on her way. Suddenly… a low, ominous creak made her stopped in her tracks.
Looking more closely, the tree was rather spindly and its branches looked more like little spikes. It was amazing how much snow it was able to hold up. But it was nearly at its limit.
Getting away was simple. Iris just needed to walk away from the tree and continue her stroll. But the lanky tree had other plans. Another creak was heard and the thin branches finally snapped.
Thankfully, the nun moved quickly, taking refuge under one of the decorative arcs. Unfortunately, she didn't count on a bigger pile of snow falling on top of her...
A loud sneeze can be heard from Iris. After sniffing a little, she groans while turning to her side, snuggling deeper into her blanket.
