_ DISCLOSURE EYES _ SHEKNOWS 🫠
In a quaint village nestled between rolling hills, whispers of an unusual legend floated through the air—one that spoke of a fearsome creature known as the Beast. Shunned by the townsfolk, the Beast had retreated to his forgotten castle, cloaked in shadows and surrounded by a thick veil of enchantment. But unlike the traditional tales of monstrous appearances, this Beast carried with him an aroma that lingered far and wide—a potent scent of verdant herbs, unmistakable and potent, the fragrant trace of marijuana.
In the heart of this sleepy village lived Beauty, a spirited young woman with a thirst for adventure and a deep appreciation for the delicate intricacies of life. One fateful afternoon, drawn by curiosity, she found herself wandering into the enchanted woods that bordered the Beast’s domain. As she stepped deeper into the thicket, the unmistakable scent enveloped her—sweet and earthy, like a caress of nature herself. It filled her lungs and sparked something vibrant within her. Perhaps it was the contact buzz, or maybe it was the magic of the forest, but Beauty felt an unusual sense of warmth and safety.
Her journey led her to a clearing where the Beast resided. There he sat, a figure of solitude, his fur tousled and wild, surrounded by a colorful array of roses—each one more beautiful than the last. They burst forth in unabashed colors, each petal a testament to his care. The air was alive with a soft hum, a mix of nature and fragrant enthusiasm, and as Beauty approached him, she felt a strange kinship with the enigmatic creature.
“You should not be here,” the Beast rumbled, his voice deep yet surprisingly gentle. His eyes, pools of understanding and sadness, locked onto hers. “People only see the monster. They fail to understand the beauty I cultivate, the roses I cherish. I love these flowers as they remind me of what it means to truly care, to earn something precious.”
Beauty, her heart racing, looked around at the roses. She could feel the energy they radiated. “They are beautiful,” she replied, her voice soft yet confident. “But I can see you’re lonely. A rose is indeed special, but so is sharing it with someone who appreciates its worth.”
The Beast’s gaze softened, and Beauty inhaled deeply once more, letting the heady scent wash over her. It should have made her sneeze; the allergies that plagued her were no joke. Yet here she stood, amidst the potent aroma that could easily overwhelm most, feeling oddly at ease. “I’d love to learn about these roses, but I promise not to take one without asking. I know how much they mean to you.”
The Beast noticed her unwavering determination. “Many come to me wanting a rose, but they never ask. They think they can claim the beauty for themselves without understanding the energy that comes with it.” His eyes glinted with a mixture of wisdom and wariness. “It’s the same with love, dear Beauty. To hold a rose is to earn the right to share its beauty.”
In that moment, as Beauty understood the depth of his words, she saw the Beast for who he truly was—a creature shaped not just by his physical form, but by his experiences, his heart, and the way he cared for these roses. It wasn’t about the weed that clung to him, nor the allergies that might have deterred a lesser soul; it was about the connection they could forge if she chose to see beyond the surface.
“I want to understand,” she said, her resolve strengthening. “Show me your world. The energy is worth it if you let me in.”
And so began their intricate journey together, intertwined like the roots of the roses surrounding them. The Beast, once just a pothead in a forsaken castle, found solace in Beauty’s acceptance. She learned to tolerate the earthy scents, the powerful herb that defined him, and in return, he opened up—sharing tales of each rose, of love and perseverance.
As days turned into weeks, the castle transformed, not just in its surroundings, but in spirit. Two unlikely companions, one a guardian of nature’s gifts and the other a seeker of understanding, created a unique bond. It wasn’t just about the roses anymore; it was about the energy they shared, the trust they built, and the love that blossomed in the most unexpected of places.
Together, Beauty and the Beast discovered that the most potent magic lay not just within the fragrant flowers, but in the beauty of connection forged through understanding, patience, and the willingness to look beyond the surface. In this tale, love triumphed, for in their hearts they recognized the truth: The things that make us unique are often the very things that bring us together.
