Chapter 25: The Eternal Garden {5}
☆Faint Sparkle☆
At the sound I turned, that noise it sounded like... I gasped when I saw the sa green butterfly coming towards .
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
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
srized by the tiny creature like it was trying to speak to .
I giggled as I hopped towards it like a child, it then ca swirling around , 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 beca a walk towards the unknown, I passed through the cluster of flowers out and then ca 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
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 ca to , a cluster of them. I giggled as they swam around
as they did before, like they were urging
to do sothing, not just move my arms and turn about with them, but sothing more.
A swarm of them took off my cloak, I gasped at the action, leaving
in just the sheath yellow gown I wore beneath, it was in sleeves so I figured I wouldn’t catch a cold.
They ca around
again, I moved my arms with them in a rhythm. Oh, I see now, They wanted
to dance, I couldn’t say no to that.
I moved one hand up and down as swiftly as the ocean waves, and then the other, before I spin, they did too, forming a wondrous movent. I continued spinning as then I moved one leg forward, moving my hands in waves as they swamped around
magically.
I took a deep breath, closing my eyes, and then spinning multiple tis, but this ti I let my head raise as I did and then allowed the movent to take
and guide , I could feel the sprinkle of the butterflies dust around
as I moved, they dance with
guiding , but then it felt like I was the one guiding them, a strange feeling.
I felt so free... sothing 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 .
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
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 .
"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 .
"But soone told
they are attracted to those who are familiar with 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 , 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 the presence of a strange old lady who offered to tell
why butterflies are drawn to ... I must be crazy because all my insides were itching
to follow her, was it worth it?
The green butterfly descended on my shoulder, settling there, I turned to the wondrous creature always clinging to . I figured a na was in place for it.
I sighed, turning to the woman walking ahead, I clenched my fist, my chest rose and fell.
"Let’s go Erald," I said walking towards her.
