"Lord Ike, I really advise you not to do that." Several of the world's most powerful mages were standing in a circle around the Ranger Lord as he stared intensively at a purple flower with pink stripes running along it's sides.
"It is said the flower is to bring forth horrific side effects to anyone who touches it." A female priestess was urgently speaking to convince the lord not to reach out and grab the specimen.
'Yes, but it also can bring forth unspeakable powers." Ike spoke the reply the others all knew was to be said. True, the magical plant, called Igneis Punctilious was a rare plant found only during spring time, and bloomed only once every 50 years. Rumors said, that who ever touches the plant will either gain unspeakable powers or be cursed with the most horrifying results.
A shaman spoke up. "Lord Ike." They were all careful to address the famed warrior carefully, even since he had mad such a name for himself traveling here and there. "I don't believe the consequences may be worth the gain." Several others nodded at his remark.
"But we cannot let a thing like this go to waste." Ike replied. "For all I know, many of us may not even live to see it bloom again."
There was sighs of desperation from the surrounding party.
"Well.." The youngest priestess spoke up. "What if we are to carefully transport the plant back to the castle for further investigation? I believe we can do it without making skin to plant contact."
Several faces nodded and murmurs of agreement came up."Well Lord Ike, it is your sole decision on what to do."
