Chapter 67
To the tiny seed there is no bounty as great as a bead of rain in the springtime. For this gift of cloud, that neither asks for nor receives due thanks, simply moves on, returning blue skies and sunny rays. And so the potential of the seed begins the very journey of life, to germinate, to put down roots and send upward either cotyledons or a fine green blade.
I held the seed in my hand thinking about how the fairy had died in front of my eyes. I knew that there was something in my thought process which made me believe that death is not the end and there will be life after this but the memories of the dreams that I knew was coming from the Prince of the Elves. Or whatever that was called.
I knew that after this fiasco there would be soon something coming up which would be from the realm of the elves or wherever they lived.
“I never ever stepped foot in the garden of the palace earlier that too to plant a seed,” I said and Luke said,” You have waiting and training to fight and to become Queen your entire life and if not that then to be a better Alpha at the least. You never thought that gardening was going to be a part that you would have to do with.”
“Are you sure that this a good idea? Planting her in our soil?” asked Credence and I thought of rebutting him but then I felt that he was asking maybe he had thought of something. So I asked,” Why do you say that?”
“Because she is Fae and we do not know which kind. She passed away too soon for us to even take a note of that. If she does not thrive in the soil of this realm then I think you will be the one who is most worried,” said Credence and I nodded.
He had put thought in what he was saying when Luke said,” Seeds can grow anywhere. They just need the time and care. There is such beauty in the variation of the seeds: size, shape and hue. From the speck that is a poppy seed all the way to the avocado pip. Some are born to fly, as with the dandelion, and others to nurture the birds as with the bright holly berry. They are the promise of new life, the welcome new green of the spring, yet also a banquet for mother nature's VIPs of insect and feathered wings.”
“For an animal who is a predator in the forest you seem to be quite at home with the gardening skills,” said Credence and Luke opened his mouth to say something but I interrupted them,” Boys, you need to behave. Come on. What kind of childish behavior is this?”
Each seed has the potential to become a strong new plant and it is up to my skill as a gardener to see that they do. There are times I look around for the Red Queen, because I am so accustomed to having guidance, yet there always comes a day when the apprentice can show that they have taken the right steps to become a master.
I did not have a very good relationship with her and might be even better than the rest of the candidates but still I did not know somehow I had this feeling that she was here in the castle and she would not be able to leave if she wanted to.
It was a bad thought and it made me think that I was not doing the right thing at the right time.
We had reached the garden and there was no one and yet it was lit and it looked so peaceful and serene and all I wanted to do was to fall down upon my knees and then weep for the Fae girl who had lost her life before my eyes. It was impossible for me to even forget for even a second that the first day of my reign had begun with the death of an innocent soul.
“You cannot be responsible for every single death that happens before you, Sin,” said Luke and Credence placed his cold hand on my shoulder and said,” heavy is the head that wears the crown, darling. But you have head and shoulders to carry the weight in the perfect manner because there are a lot of people who are depending on you. And if it was just the people of your kingdom then I would have said that you are well adapted for that but now, this…this is something that no one is ever ready for.”
I looked at Credence and said,” If that was a pep-talk then you are really bad at pep-talks. Can someone please grab me a shovel?”
“I shall do that,” said Credence as he brought a small shovel from somewhere near as Luke stood by my side and said,” You have not mated with me or him. We have, is there anything that you would want to share with me or him?”
I could not say anything for a while and then I said,” Let me bury her and then we shall speak about this.”
Little did I know that I would not get this chance in ten minutes I was going to regret that if I had only spoken with them earlier and told them about my thoughts and fears then maybe I would have been stronger. Credence had buried a hole in the middle of the lawn where we were standing and then he looked at me and said,” It is done.”
I nodded and walked in his direction and then knelt down and said,” Dahlia, I have known you for a very brief time and yet I wish that I had been able to speak with you longer. Even if it was the first time I saw you, you said that I was your Queen and I am never going to forget that ever in my life. Since you have given me that I am going to make sure that all your wishes are carried out and you shall be here as long as you grow.”
Saying this, I placed the seed in my palm in the soil and covered it with the soil and then sprinkled some water on it.
I had hoped of sitting there in peace but something very unusual happened and made me gasp in shock. The moment I had sprinkled water on the soil, immediately a shoot sprung up on the ground and it turned and grew into a huge bush. And white flowers started blooming on it. I had never encountered flowers of such kind and it was so beautiful.
“Moon flowers,” whispered Credence as I looked at him.
“What is that?” asked Luke.
“They are the mythical flowers which grow only in the realm of Fae. And never before anyone of the human race or the wolf or even us vampires have been able to see something like that.”
And the moment the flowers had bloomed, it seemed like all the hell broke loose and there was a portal in the garden and immediately scores of men in black rushed out from the portal.
