"Please, Jussi... please, hold on...don't die..." "I cannot... It is my fate. Kara, you know that I am a flower... and flowers, they tend to die one day for sure, fading faster than any other living being. Flowers, they have a short life. Some of them may last for a year, but many only for one season. And the season of my life... seems to be over..." "I need you..." "And still you must be strong..." "I doubt that i can without you. I gave up all to just live with you...and now you shall leave me?" "yes... ´But this will NOT be the end of us. Karaja, you have protected me with your life. In this life, you have been my protector, and now I, the princess, will be your protector. Do you accept it? My heritage? my world?" "I accept" "Then I will bloom on in you."

Flowershipping!! XD (hehe, sorry for that shipping name here)... anyway, this is the 47 piece of the 100 Art challenge, titled "Dying" and it shows the death of Jussierama, the protector of Keiko Flowers. On the picture you can see Karaja Flowers, the one who has build the strong bond between the ghost of Jussi, which after her death protected not only Karaja, but all following children of her, up til Keiko came up.
I have to say, that this is the definite Yurri couple in EP. Karaja x Jussierama. for those who think it is disgusting - really, I am sorry, but I felt the need to draw a story like that, because after all this manga is... a way for me to show whatever topic possible, even the more sensible ones, tabus that no one would talk about. and to find out what is right or wrong...

From the dying Jussierama, Karaja received the flower crystal,which later appears in Keikos right hand, and became the yellow flower sign which looks a bit like a tattoo.
The reason as to why Jussierama died here in the open field... it is because of the treasure that was released and that she is trying to protect together with Keiko now.

hope you enjoy.
