Reborn as a Snake! (2.) [COMPLETED]

(91). - The Elf and The Knight. [2]

     It was an early morning that day. I woke up within the beautiful walls of the garden — laying ontop of a bed of flowers and petals, all taken from the vegetation around and nearby. The bright morning sun shined down onto me and the entire maze, lighting up the inside of the maze and causing all the flowers to bloom up — facing the sun.

It was another peaceful and uneventful morning inside the Garden. First thing I did after waking up was wander around the maze — collecting fruit and other vegetation located inside the maze, placing them all inside of a small basket made of thick leaves that I had weaved during my freetime when this garden first began.

The fruit that grew within its lush walls were very rich with flavour as well as never could go bad and rot — being filled with an almost endless stream of magical energy.

Once my basket was full, I headed back to the Gardens center, arriving back to the beautiful lake located in the middle. Walking up to the water, I looked into it at my reflection. Still — I haven't aged even a minute since this garden was built. How long has it been anyways? How much time has passed? Surely it cannot be that much.

Well, who knows.
All I know, is that within these walls — I won't age even a millisecond forward. After washing my face with the crystal clear water located inside of the lake, I took one of the fruits in my leaf basket, before tapping the lake water lightly with my left hand.

After a second or two, the water splashed up, as a snake like being popped out of the water, before looking at me with its white eyes.

"Ah... It's you. Good morning."

The being said to me, with a calm and friendly tone, its body fading from being made of water into a physical one — made of dark grey and maroon coloured scales, with pulsating light blue energy underneath it all.

I smiled towards it and lifted the fruit in my hand up to the creature.

"Good morning. I have brought breakfast."

I replied.
The Creature stared at me and then the fruit for a second before exhaling and leaning its head down towards the fruit, taking it from my hand and eating it all in one bite — chowing it down very quickly.

The Creature then looked towards me with a small smile across its face, before sighing and looking at the basket of fruit beside me.

"Tell me — What else do you have in that basket this time around?"

The Creature asked. I clapped my hands together before smiling brightly.

"Glad you asked!"

I announced, before looking over and picking up the basket. Afterwards, I moved it over into my lap, before beginning to sort through the fruit and vegetables that was inside it.

From the walls of the maze I had managed to pick some apples, oranges, peers, tomatoes and even a couple of bananas — all of which were at the best quality possible for each of the fruit, with not a single one of them being even a little bit off of being perfect.

Together with the Creature, we sorted through the fruit and ate them together, with the creature mostly taking the sweet fruit for itself — which was normal to see. Overtime of living inside this garden and together with the great being, I've learned that it has quite the sweet tooth. It absolutely loves sweet things and absolutely despises sour things, which I found a bit silly.

After all of the fruits I had gathered were eaten, only the tomatoes were left — which I left in the basket, picking up and carrying it over to a small pile of other vegetables, all laid out on a bed of leaves. Once at it, I kneeled down and poured out the basket of tomatoes onto the pile, emptying it.
