Microfiction: Tree Hugger

Micro/ Flash fiction theme: Power Plant Pyramid

Three small objects appear before me as the professor finishes the summoning ritual. One of these will be my familiar. I was terrified to pick the wrong one because the selection is permanent and would guide my fate as a mage.

 

There was an All-Seeing-Eye Pyramid, an Orb of Power, and a … house plant?

 

There were snickers from my classmates behind me. I don’t know how they messed with the ceremony, but the potted herb must be their doing.

 

Feeling out with my magic, I stare at the seedling in shock.

 

“This one!” I hug the Sapling of Yggdrasil.
