Outside the Goetia palace, Octavia continued chasing Balin the dingo-hellhound all the way out to the garden.
"Be careful along here, little one...!" teased Via with both a serious and a fun tone.
"Hahahahaha!" laughed Balin, as he started zig-zagging along the trail of dirt in between the exotic plants.
The Venus fly-traps were curious about why they saw a hellhound puppy being chased by Via, until as soon as they were close to running past them, they picked up Balin's scent and just cheered him on with the chase, as if him getting a case of hellhound fever wasn't a surprise.
"I'm coming to get you, darling!" she sang teasingly again.
"You can't catch me, Via!" giggled Balin, as he ran even faster. "I'm a super fast hellhound!"
"Ho ho ho ho! I'mma get you real soon." she laughed evilly.
Soon, the laughing little hellhound boy reached a fork in the road. He saw that he was in a circular patch of land with four trails through the garden, including the one where he just came from, where Via soon managed to catch up to him.
"You hellhounds may be as fast as lions." she teased, slowly prowling towards him. "But you're still a little one!"
As Via lunged towards him, Balin evaded her and continued running through one of the other three shortcuts through the garden.
The whole time, this time, he trotted slowly along the trail on alert for Via in case she was nearby and ready to pounce again. Since he was on all fours, he even ducked down underneath the plants, which made him even quicker given his light weight for a seven-year-old pup.
Unfortunately, it didn't mean his pointy dingo ears were hidden out of plain sight, and Via noticed it a few feet away as she continued hunting him. Cackling quietly, she then did a little transforming of her own.
While he continued prowling his side of the garden, Balin saw an exit from a few feet away with his newfound super-sight and quickly bolted towards it as fast as he could. And with Via off his tail, for now, he eventually made it out of the garden in a huff and a puff, just in time.
But as he skidded to a stop with his paws, he soon panted with his tongue out like a dog as he laid eyes on a beautiful sight.
It was Stolas' exclusive butterfly farm and pond, filled with butterflies that looked a lot like actual butts.
Standing up on his hind paws, very slowly, Balin started looking around the pond in such awe and curiosity.
Picking up a scent of lavender, the little hellhound's sniffing urges began to come online, making his nose go out of control. He tried to stop it by holding onto his snout, but no matter how hard he tried, it was no use.
The 'butt'erflies soon heard the sniffing and individually, they looked at the wildly sniffing boy who suddenly stopped as he noticed their beady eyes staring into his sharp red ones.
