The Garden

[four]

————————————————————

   As leaves and branches crunch under the footsteps of Cross and Asgore, rabbits and other rodents scurry around at the loud sounds that were coming from the two. The green and lush leaves on the thick tree trunks shake as the wind blows right into them. The two monsters soon sees a small and simple well in the distance. Cross, who was carrying a big brown bucket with him, put the item down gently, kneeled down and sighed of exhaustion. Asgore looks back at Cross and smiles, "Thank you for all the help Cross, now we can carry three buckets of water back! Normally I only get two buckets..." 

   "It's nothing, compared to you saving me," Cross glanced quickly back at Asgore. 

   "Ah...yeah hahaha..." Asgore has been trying to keep a solid conversation for a solid hour now but nothing really lasted more then one response from Cross, Asgore sighed.... "So...water is good...yum..."

   Cross stood straight back up and picked up his bucket, "Water is water," Cross blinked, "Water..."

   It was once again silence as they approach the well, but the silence was then soon broken as  Asgore points to one of the trees near the well, "This is a Shy Milkwillow, I planted it here a while ago and over the past few years it grew from a small sprout to a big giant tree," Asgore went on, "look how some of the leaves are secreting milky liquid, the liquid is very sweet and it used to be use to sweeten desserts for the poor when the tree was abundant and lush. Now it's rare to find one of these in the wild hahaha" (wow lore about a made up tree) 

   Cross was listening intently, he already walked to the well and finished filling up a bucket while Asgore went on about the Shy Milkwillow, now there was just two buckets left, he takes the remaining buckets from Asgore and Asgore unconsciously lets go. Cross finishes filling the buckets and as soon as Asgore finishes about the trees, Asgore looks up and becomes embarrassed,

   "Oh, sorry Cross," He blushed, "I did not mean for that rant to happen..." Asgore laughs nervously, "well, thank you :D" 

   "Let's head back now Mr. Dreemurr," Cross grabbed one of the buckets, it was kind of heavy but it wasn't enough  to bring Cross's spirts down! >:D Asgore went and picked up the two heavy buckets and turned around, suddenly a bright idea seemed to go into his mind, Asgore smiled happily and caught up to Cross. After just a few minutes of walking, Asgore stops in his tracks and Cross who was now behind him, followed suit.

  "Come, follow me Cross, put that bucket down too, we are going somewhere steep so we have to be careful," Asgore puts his buckets down and Cross copied him, Asgore goes off path, into a random place inbetween two thin tree branches were bent and connected in such a delicate way that looked like the trees created an arch into another world. Many trees were scratched with tiny small handwriting that could only belong to a child, most of them just says 'Prince azgore waz here'...the two monsters went up a hill, down a hill, above a hill, and beside a hill, finally the two were in a small secluded area, the sun was directly above them now, they could fully see the sun now, earlier it was not even peeking through the top of the leaves. Asgore finally stopped, he smiled, "look!"

   Infront of Cross there was a beautiful scenery that he imagined in his dreams the night before, a very big flowing waterfall that went  shaaaaaaaaaa the waterfall looked exactly like what he imagine, Cross's eye socket widened a little, he smiled, " Thanks Mr. Dreemurr, it's...nice here..." 

   "It's nothing, I found this place when I was small, I use to run away to here if I was sad about something. I never got to appreciate the waterfall's beauty though, because I was always ugly crying haha, its been a while since I came here," Asgore sat down on a tree stump.

   "Well, its nice that this is the first time you see it clearly."
