Prism Girls chapter 1 pt.2

Bulmaq is pictured as a beautiful long-limbed woman with flowing green tresses. The legend says that when she was a young girl, her name was not Bulmaq. It was Noomi. Noomi was wild, like an animal. She had been that way ever since she was a baby. She had beautiful Auburn hair She was known as the 'little girl who was fire'. One day when she went out to collect water for her family. When she reached the river, it was empty, drained to the bottom. She fell to her knees and began to sob. Her family would have no water today, again. As she lay, crying, a little girl, even younger than Noomi, sat beside her. Noomi looked up. 

   The little girl was very small and skinny, and had bruises all over her face. Then she spoke. "Excuse me, can you help me?" She said, with a quivering voice. And because Noomi was a kind young girl, she decided to help. The little girl, Mimi, asked for Noomi's hair. She said her beautiful red hair would make very beautiful paintbrush's. That was the only way she would be able to get money to but milk for her baby sister. 

   Noomi was devastated at the request. But she knew how it felt to be poor. So she pulled out her knife and sawed off her braids.The little girl started to cry and thank her. She ran away, hold the red braid in her fist. Noomi was looking at the drained river with immense sorrow and one of her salty tears dropped onto the dry dirt . From that tear, a little flower grew. A little white orchid with purple veins. Noomi choked back her tears and plucked the flower from the ground and tucked it behind her ear. 

   She tried to stand up, but she fell over into the little basin. She just lay there, silent. Suddenly the floor became damp, filling with drops of beautiful pure water. Noomi jumped up and cried. There were a lot of tears that day. A handsome little rabbit appeared from the sky. Then it started to talk to her.

   "Noomi, my dear." She looked up at the glimmering white fur of the rabbit. It smiled at her sweetly. "You deserve this. You are very kind. I saw what you did to that girl, that was my child." Noomi's eyes widened. A bunny? Having a human child? What is this animal?

   "This is not my true form, Noomi. I am a God. You are as kind and beautiful as a goddess. And I shall make you one. And I will make you my wife when you come of age." She laughed.  She asked to make a deal with the God. 

   "If I do this," she asked. "will you help my family? Can you make them live a life of luxury and happiness? I love them very much." The God agreed. He waved his little paw in the air in front of him. Like magic, her hair was there again. But this time a beautiful green and a lot longer. She was happy. Later she was renamed Bulmaq, the Muchaapian word for kindness. Our world revolves around kindness and happiness. But my world is gone. To save our galaxy, I need to stay focused.
