Recap: She held out her hand and in it were two crystals, one red and one blue. Tarina took one look and screamed

Chapter 8: (DaSnowLeopard version) The troll was deathly pale.”Do you know what those things are? Even we trolls are warned against them! They are called Instincts and can kill or save anything. They come in pairs that latch together, and you choose one and only one to eat. If you choose the wrong one, you die or all of your power gets taken away after a terrible sickness that lasts about a week! But... if you choose the right one and survive the sickness, legend has it that amazing things will happen to you. Once you eat one the other will dissolve and whatever it dissolves on will immediately disappear or die so you have to be careful with them. They grow from a tree called the Carnage. This tree is one of a kind and produces an Instinct pair every century. It has blood instead of sap and is white as bone. Ghee rumors say it’s flowers come in to different types: Deathly White and Savior Black. Most people say that white is good and black is bad, but the truth is reversed. The Carnage lies at the center of the world on an island called Abyss. It is a terror, everything looks wonderful but even the grass is deadly. The flowers are either deadly and kill you or make you invincible. I’d say don’t try it because none who have have lived, but since your the Moonlark I’d take my chances.” Then she grabbed the pair of crystals and handed them to Sophie, who had been taking in all of this information while staring at the crystals. She considered her chances and then without hesitation, dropped the blue one into her mouth like a pill. She tried to imagine it like that because she had watched the Mattix and according to the movie, blue was the way to go. At least she hoped. Almost immediately she dropped to the floor, moaning, as if dead or almost. Her parents, who up until this moment had been shell shocked jumped in to help. They pressed their hands to her chest in compressions and shoved Panakes petals down her throat. Finally Flori came in and sung her a quick rapid song that made her fall into a deep and peaceful sleep.
