I think I found my gold.


After crossing the rainbow, there is a little land, filled with little people. These little people are very friendly. They tell me about their simple lives and they showed me their precious Rose.

I was bought to the top of the mountains to see The Rose. There, it stood magnificently, with her petals fully bloomed. The gold is there, in a kind of form she needs, fertilizing her and burying the ugly part of her roots.

I was perplexed and confused. Why is the gold not in the pot? Why is it not in an attractive solid form? I have got so many questions but I don’t how to begin, because The Rose and these people all seem to think that this is alright to use the gold as the soil. I do not wish to upset these people by telling them how gold in my world looks like.

Every day, I followed these people up to the mountain. While they worship the Rose, I only had my eyes at the soil. Perhaps it was because I have come this far, I wasn’t prepared to leave without my questions answered. So after familiarizing the route to the mountains, I went up myself that night.

I look at the gold and asked why it had to sacrifice and become dust. I asked if it not knows how powerful it can get if it is in a solid state. I offered to melt it to liquid allowing it to be in solid state again. Thereafter, I can bring the gold back to my world where people worship and worked hard for it instead.

It declined and explained that the Rose is the only hope and the pillar of faith to these little people in the land. If it transformed into solid and leave, the Rose will wither. Little people will not survive without the rose. I would have got hurt by the torns in the process as well.

I was upset and it was right that there is nothing I can do about it because the element of soil does not exist in this land. There is no way I can change it away without withering the Rose.
