Chapter 25: The Eternal Garden [Part 5]

"Oh look some fire lily!" she exclaimed rushing towards it with her gown raised, I followed behind.

She squats in front of it.

"Beautiful aren't they," she said in wonder.

"Yes they truly are," I said smiling, Danette was a really wonderful person, even though she was fixed on the laws of this land, she was a free spirit in her own way.

Too bad she was married to someone she knew nothing about or do not love just like me, I sighed.

☆Faint Sparkle☆

At the sound I turned, that noise it sounded like... I gasp when I saw the same green butterfly coming towards me.

It leveled to my finger once again, I brought it closer to my face smiling, watching it flap its wings, sprinkling dust from the bottom.

I smiled enchanted by it, it flew off my finger, up in the air, flapping its wings like it wanted me to follow it, How can I disagree?

Engrossed by the tiny amusing thing, I followed it, not taking my gaze off it, my smile never left my lips, the constant flapping of wings just got me memorized by the tiny creature like it was trying to speak to me.

I giggled as I hop towards it like a child, it then came swirling around me, I giggled more loving the sparkles against my skin, it was soft and smooth against it.

But then it flew towards a cluster of purple flowers like a curtain, into it.

I blinked puzzled, there was this pull I felt to go through it, I couldn't explain it.

In response to that, I took a step forward, from steps it became a walk towards the unknown, I passed through the cluster of flowers out and then came in view of what took my breath away.

My lips went apart as I saw the swamp of different colors of butterflies, it wasn't even up to the amount that cluster me at the entrance of the garden, this was like a community of them and the area was just so wondrous, covered in glasses so green, even the barks of the trees, everywhere and edges filled with butterflies.

I moved further, in awe of the view, the butterflies then came to me, a cluster of them. I giggled as they swam around me as they did before like they were urging me to do something, not just move my arms and turn about with them, but something more.

A swarm of them took off my cloak, I gasp at the action, leaving me in just the sheath yellow gown I wore beneath, it was in sleeves so I figured I wouldn't catch a cold.

They then come around me again, I moved my arms with them in a rhythm. Oh, I see now, They wanted me to dance, I couldn't say no to that.

I moved one hand up and down as swift as the ocean waves, and then the other, before I spin, they did too forming a wondrous movement, I continued spinning as then I moved one leg forward, moving my hands in waves as they swamped around me magically.

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes, and then spinning multiple times, but this time I let my head raise as I did and then allowed the movement to take me and guide me, I could feel the sprinkle of the butterflies dust around me as I moved, they dance with me guiding me, but then it felt like I was the one guiding them, a strange feeling.

I felt so free... something I have never felt since I was married, it felt so amazing like I could do anything as long as I put my mind into it.

"You dance wonderfully my dear"

At the sound of the sudden voice, I gasped flashing my eyes open, the swarm of butterflies instantly disperse, at the crowd, I couldn't see a thing but then it cleared and revealed who was before me.

It was an elderly woman, in her 80s maybe, her hair white all through because of old age, with strands of black on it, she was dressed in a white silk gown just like the sprites showing her still slender body despite her old age. Her blue eyes were the brightest I have ever seen. She held a wood-carved walking stick to support her stance.

A warm smile graced her lips, staring at me like I was a gift.

"I'm so sorry, I must have wandered too long" I finally broke the silence looking around, wondering how far I have wandered, I have no idea where I'm now, Danette must be so worried, I left her without saying a word, how stupid of me.

"Curious my dear why the butterflies are so fascinated by you?" she said raising an eyebrow.

"I'm curious..." but then I thought back to what Cedric said to me.

"But someone told me they are attracted to those who are familiar to magic... But I'm nothing of that sort, I do not know... magic"

"What if there was more," she said with a smile.

Was there? If there was I was dying to find out.

"Follow me, dear," she said turning.

"Don't worry I won't bite" she adds with a wink.

I gulped, here I was... lost in an Eternal Garden which was supposed to be a romantic getaway with a man I barely knew, and now I was in a presence of a strange old lady who offered to tell me why butterflies are drawn to me... I must be crazy because all my insides were itching me to follow her, was it worth it?

The green butterfly descend on my shoulder, settling there, I turned to the wondrous creature always clinging to me. I figured a name was in place for it.

I sighed, turning to the woman walking ahead, I clenched my fist, my chest rise and fell.

"Let's go Emerald," I said walking towards her.
