Chapter 72: Garden of Poison and Comfort

We both stayed in the same spot for some time, relaxing the minutes away. Where do i go next? What other place is also peaceful and relatively silent? Oh right! The garden i went to a long time ago back when I started, where I talked to Mary at.

Thalia sat upright in her seat, yawning and stretching afterwards.

"This was a nice meet up and session of reading, but i have to do other stuff. Do you also have other plans?" Thalia asked me. Starting to stand up from her seat.

"Maybe the garden." I responded.

"Ohhh, that garden, the place Mary mostly heads to. Alright, have a good day now i have to go. And don't forget to put those books back." Thalia closes her own book, bringing it towards the cart near the desk. I should head to the garden now, see if it changed since last time.

Closing my book, i walked to return it. Quickly joining Thalia in the elevator, we both stood still, staying silent for the whole way up.

The door opens to the garage doors and soon we exited.

Later parting ways in the elevator area. Inside another lift up, what was the floor again? Oh right floor 3. A simple press of a button, the elevator ascends up. While it went up, other people were in the elevator with me.

Soon it got to floor 3, stepping out, nobody else went out with me. Going other floors then.

The hallway was just the same since the last time i got here. On the left side, i can see the dawn sun, shining brightly like the yolk of an egg. Setting below the horizon. A beautiful sight it is indeed.

I opened the garden door, inside. It was just as green as ever, plants of varying colors planted all around. Where's Mary?

Walking around, i felt more relaxed, looking at the beautiful flora surrounding me. A sense of relaxation with the fresh scent flowing in the air.

Some bared flowers on them, in beautiful colors sure to make people walk closer to it. Alluring, but this garden holds poisonous flowers and plants as well. Not knowing any of them i stayed away from every plant I walked passed. Nearby were stored canisters, stored onto the wall.

One plant in particular was familiar to me, one with little bubbles surrounding it, it's color mostly red. Bloodbase, the plant looked larger since the last time i saw it, this time bearing more leaves holding more bubbles on them. Many plants here do look larger in comparison to how i remembered them from before, with more flowers or leaves, are they supposed to be left to grow like this? Or Mary didn't trim em yet.

In front of me, i can see the blank wall, one that held a door to another room. Machinery used for making poisonous grenades from the leaves or contents of plants here. Despite the fact that these plants could kill me with one wrong way of touching or wrong action on them, i still felt calm and more collected while standing around this garden of poison.
