You lounge in your chair, tired from the day so far and wanting an escape. But unfortunately, you happen to not have teleportation powers and cannot go anywhere, so instead, you decide to check out what’s on CB. It is relaxing, almost as good as an escape from the world, with the sunlight casting a warm and golden glow through the window and into your room. You go over and open it to let the beautiful breeze in, and you take in a deep breath of the natural air before going back to CB.
But then, you hear a faint whooshing sound near the window. You glance up, startled, as an iridescent butterfly flies into the room and onto your desk. And as if by some magic, a piece of paper appears on your desk before the butterfly flutters up and out the window, all in a quick blur.
You sit back down, dazed by what had just happened. After you have a moment to clear your head, you decide to look at the piece of paper. Curiously, you begin to read it:
I hope you are having a wonderful day! But of course, you still need an escape from the world every now and then. Haven’t you ever thought of…escaping to a magical island full of just nature, nothing else? Well then, today is your lucky day!

"I'm sorry, Flora, about what I've done to the guests. I thought it was for the right cause, but I was mistaken," Gloomy said finally.
"You are forgiven," Flora replied. "But I wonder if I could've ever saved those lives."
"I'm sorry, Flora," she said again.
"I guess you should leave now," Flora said solemnly. She slowly walked over to the edge of the island, with Gloomy behind her. She conjured up a boat, and gestured towards it.
Gloomy nodded and stepped inside. She called out a final apology and goodbye, as she rode out onto the sea, away from Flower Isle.
And Flora watched until at last, the boat was just a speck in the vast sea. Then she went back and set up graves for Seadragon and Silver, placing a dark purple rose and a daisy on top.
All was silent, as if in mourning of all the guests, and perhaps, Fauna. Flora had often thought that maybe they could resolve their old arguments and be together again, but that was not what fate had chosen.
Flower Isle looked pretty much the same as before the guests came. The beautiful grassy meadows were still just as springy, and the golden sun still just as warm. It was as if nothing bad had ever happened.
Flora sighed, still wondering if things could've been different, perhaps in a parallel world. But she wasn't in it, so she had to make the best of what she had. A single delicate butterfly landed on her, flapping its iridescent wings. As Flora gazed at it, she decided that maybe…maybe it was time for a new start, a new adventure.
The End.

@everyone, thank you for following along with this Ski Lodge! This was probably the first big writing project that I started on CB, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. So, any questions or comments?

*claps*
Wonderful job, lovely ending! I'm so happy you didn't lose interest in it and stop writing, you write amazingly!
Do you have any plans with Flora in the future, for another ski lodge?

Thank you! At the moment, it is to be determined if I'm going to do something with Flora. As for another ski lodge, maybe after a while and when I get more inspiration.
