Chapter 58

~Kamari~

Strangely, this atmosphere feels so comforting. There is a calmness here that I would have never expected in a Shades Garden, and Mael seemed eager to tell me things.

"There are plants here you may have never heard of in your life," he says, picking up a black bud flower. Hold out your finger."

When I do, the flower wraps its Vine around it, and it blooms; an eerie blue glow envelopes it. I smile and caress its soft petals. "Do they pop up, or do you create them?"

"We can create many things, Kamari; our spaces are so sacred. The rare life that grows here is valuable. Rare. Some of them are known to cure illness, and others can kill with one touch. Of course, we're immune to all venom." Mael takes the flower with a gentle touch.
