Mystic Isle

This story is about a young florist named Robyn who turned her home into a greenhouse. Her small business is going under, and she has lost the passion of her work. As she is working, she starts to water her plants in her outdoor glass greenhouse. While moving to the back, her plants surround her, and she is transported to the Mystic Isle. This is a place where unusual creatures and bugs inhabit the island. After being chased by a large snake, she ends up in a giant trash pile. Here, she meets the Fly, who is a humanoid fly creature. He enjoys adventuring and finding lost treasures. He mentions to Robyn that he can get her home, but he needs the map first. They retrieve the map from a group of pelicans on a rocky cliff by the shore, and later travel to meet Beastie, who is a cat-like monster. She works in her own meat shop on the Isle and very much represents Robyn’s hardworking attitude towards life, yet she used to adventure with the Fly. The three go to follow the map in order to find the throne of the old King, which is a river that leads into a cave. In this cave is a rock that the King used to go between the Isle and the human realm. The three travel there on a large Tardigrade, grab the stone, and avoid being eaten by a giant crocodile that guards the throne room. Afterwards, it takes until Robyn throws the rock into the sea before a portal opens for all three to go back to the greenhouse. Along the way, Robyn learns to appreciate the time she has and to let loose on life, as taught to her by the Fly, and learning that she herself is becoming like Beastie, who is a stressed-out monster.
