I filled the entire yard with flowers, those rare and beautiful ones that I personally gathered from distant mountain ranges. I chose only the healthiest and most vibrant blooms. After bringing them back, I carefully infused them in oil, a process that helps preserve their vitality and ensures their continuous blooming and growth. Through that method, I was able to maintain their freshness and allow them to keep flourishing even after being transferred from their original habitat.

Alaric said. He looked at me. His eyes were firm. "I will not let the clock defeat you. Focus on the herbs. I will focus on the path." We reached the creek. The water was clear and cold.

It was a blood-chilling but beautiful sight, the sight of flowers growing from the now carcass of tortured tentacles, the end of these tentacles becoming the birthing of these lovely organisms, each one of these flowers blushed with the adoring color of scarlet. The dormant sea dyed with the blood it never shed, the flowers matching the color of the sea sang in delight as it fluttered its win

At the time, Lucas's thoughtless words struck me like a bolt of lightning. I had clutched the flowerpot, forced myself not to cry, and then raised my head to wager with him.

Then I dug up the seeds and carelessly tossed them onto the lawn below. “You will never bloom. It's a waste to be planted here. You deserve to grow freely.” I placed the pot back in its original spot, pretending as if nothing had happened as I returned to my room.

Callie walked down the hallway with a large jug cradled in her arms, the fresh-cut flowers inside bobbing gently with each step. Lavender, chamomile, rose petals, and jasmine, all carefully selected that morning from the apothecary's garden. The sweet, earthy scent drifted up from the container, making her smile.
