Chapter 130: Deeper Knowing

"Wow," Theo said, slowing his pace as they approached the east grounds of the palace that had gone from practically bare before to now what appeared to be a large, thriving garden overnight. 

A bright green hedge rose high in the air with only a rounded entry left open to pass through, and as they walked under the arch, Theo could feel the change in the air. It was fresh and there was something less dense about it compared to the rest of Gray Vale. It felt lighter and happier even.

"This looks like it's been growing for a hundred years," he said in awe as they continued on into the maze of life that she had created. 

"I wish I could make at least a small stream of water," she said, biting the inside of her cheek as she looked around at her work and felt Theo surveying it as well. "It would be easier to keep them going if there were water and sun." 

"I don't understand. How do you do it?" He asked, his forehead cleaving as he glanced back to her.
