Elona of the Great Green

Magenta always has loved the way her aunt’s house smells of warm baked food. Even when nothing was baking, there seemed to be a lingering hint of cinnamon and butter in the air. Magenta’s aunt’s and her Uncle live in the country, about an hours drive from Magenta’s loft apartment in the city. Every weekend Magenta’s mother brings the girls out her her Aunt and Uncle’s house for a relaxing weekend in the country. While not far from the city, the country feels like an entirely different world, quaint and picturesque with the warm smells of home cooking and fresh wild flowers.

Magenta truly loves her loft in the city and the funky bedroom she shares with Scarlet. Her mother, being an artists has painted a beautiful wall mural for the girls, with towering purple flowers and a bright red butterflies. It is a magical room that feel homey and safe which towers above the bustling street below. Magenta’s mother often wears over sized shirts splattered with paint as she spends her day creating large works of art for various patrons. The whole loft, both upstairs and down smells like fresh powdery paint which nicely mixes with the ongoing sounds of the street below. Magenta, Scarlet and their mother live in a converted warehouse that was sectioned off into apartments. They live in the building with other artists who also work from home. Magenta has many friends in their building and especially likes to play with Gabriel whose father is a classical guitarist. Together they pretend they are in a rock band, Magenta sings, Gabriel plays guitar and piano while Scarlet wallops the drums. Life at home is wonderful and fun and Magenta wouldn’t trade it for the world. However, she is amazingly grateful for her respites to the quiet countryside, where she sleeps in her own room under a handmade quilt that always smells like fresh flowers, with the cool breeze blowing through an open widow which lets in the quiet air.
