Long iron gates, curled around forming many loops and empty openings grace the very front of the Garden of Eden. Ivy, over time, also curled over the bars, leaving no trace of silver, only deep green leaves that pile one on top of another. The entire garden covers about one acre of land, a rather large amount for one person to tend to, so every so often a gardener comes and trims the tree branches, waters the plants, and feeds the koi gathered in a pond with clear blue water.
Inside a broken, crooked path splits into four roads, the rubble seeming to crumble even more as one steps upon it, but it is cushioned by emerald colored grass. Truth be told, the entire garden is scattered with flowers, specifically petunias, orange lillies, basil, striped carnations, cyclamens, Fleur-de-Lis, golden rods, purple hyacinths, meadowsweets, oriental poppies, york roses, mixed color zinnias, and oleanders. A certain girl planted each and every one of these flowers when she first arrived at Ria, and although it seems impossible that each of these flowers could grow together, it is so, and the colors mix with eachother, meshing and forming almost a paint-splattered canvas. Closer inspection of each of these flowers reveals the hidden meanings within them.
As for the trees, Sakura and weeping willow are the two most abundant in the garden, as well as a few large oak and redwood. Steel and wooden benches are placed under a few of the trees, perfect for sitting with a special someone, or even just alone to enjoy the scenery. The trees also have a protective spell over them, so no couples or vandals scratch into the bark. This was always a major issue, as the trees were always marked and cut apart.
The koi pond merely adds to the garden, and five fish swim happily in it, every so often being fed by a passerby. The pond is about eight feet wide and long, and three feet deep.
A protective spell has been placed over this garden; one can't burn anything in it, as the plants are guarded by a secret barrier placed down by that one girl at the expence of her life being shortened. However, this girl readily accepted the terms if the plants she knew and loved could be safe from all harm until they were ready to die a natural death. Her wish was that others would find peace in this garden, just as she will.

Tomoro slowly wandered through the steel gates, her boots crumbling the already broken pebbles, and she looked around; how time had passed ever since she had placed that spell on the plants and let them grow faster... it truly was amazing. Her power had increased just a little since the incident she couldn't put her finger on... part of the reason coming here was to sort everything out.
Putting her hands in front of her face and letting out a few silent tears, unsure of even why she was crying, she slowly made her way under a weeping willow and sat down on the steel bench, leaning against it. What was she going to do? Ever since that incident had happened, she had felt different altogether, and sometimes couldn't even remember where she was. It was as if part of her soul had been taken out.
Her... soul? Tomoro's eyes widened as she took off her eyepatch, and felt the area around her left eye. Mother Gaia... what... has HAPPENED to me...? She looked down at the ground in question, almost searching for an answer in the dirt... of course, nothing was there except for the occasional ant or worm. Bringing her hands up to her chest, she cupped them together and leaned over, her silver hair flooding over her hands and onto her lap, not to mention creating a small pool of grey on the ground. What... do I do now? I don't know what happened to me, only that Seth saved me... DID he save me...? Or did he cause the damage himself? Should I even be near him? Tomoro held her breath at that thought; yes... she would have to stay away from him for a while, figure out things by herself, communicate with others. She was depending on him too much.
Sighing for a short while, Tomoro switched her gaze to the weeping willow she sat under, looking up at the sky through the thick, drooping branches. She bet others had come here and had pondered what they were going to do with their life as well... perhaps that was why the tree seemed to bend farther than the rest of the other willows, it had such a heavy air around it so often...

Smiling sadly and stroking the bark on the willow, Tomoro placed her hand back down against her thigh, her eyes boring into it, almost emotionless, though if one looked incredibly deeply into her eyes, or could sense other people's auras, they would find she was just... lonely. Abandoned. Completely oblivious to anyone elses' problems at the time. Looking down at her clothes, she noticed just how dirty they actually were, and her lip pouted in disgust as she stood and turned around, away from the bench and willow.
Calmly and effortlessly she made her way over to one of the many mini flower fields in the garden, her fingers trembling for no reason whatsoever. A slight breeze from the north grazed the top of her head, blowing her bangs up against her eyes, but she paid no attention to this, falling to her knees before the few Mock Oranges on a bush growing among the many petunias. Her hands shaking, not from the lowering temperature around her, but from fear of herself, she dug her maroon nails and pale white fingers into the soft cold Earth, pulling out a very small Mock Orange bush, roots and all. She then brought it to her cheek and rubbed the petals against it, whispering something to herself. Counterfeit...
Her thick eyelashes brushing away a few more tears, Tomoro put the plant back in the dirt, patting it delicately and then standing up, her face now smudged with dirt, her clothes in even worse shape than before. Letting out a small huff of breath that was now clearly visible in the fading sky, the coldness causing it to condensate and then disappear, Tomoro turned around and decided to head near the Sakura tree, the petals covering the ground completely, pink among green. When she approached the bench, Tomoro merely raised a finger and the petals moved to the side, opening a small patch where one person could sit. She made her way over to it and sat down, then laying down on the bench completely on her side, the petals intertwining with her hair, her feet almost falling off the edge of the wooden bench. Closing her eyes and rubbing her arms, she let out a small shudder before breathing softly, in and out, in and out.

Sarah walked through the tall, steel, curled gates that were covered in the green ivy to the Garden of Eden, the gate making a loud creeking soud as she swung it open. The same sound was heard up louder then before as she turned arround to close the gate. Her light and almost soundless footsteps crushed the rubble path some more as she walked threw the garden. Her large light orange eyes sparkled and became even larger as she walked through the gates and saw the wonderful plants scattered arround this garden. You could hear her giggles easily from just a few feet away. Being in such a beautiful place like this made her so happy to be alive. He heart pounded softly on her chest, like it always did when she was this happy.
'This place... It's so amazing!' Sarah thought with her mouth dropped as she gazed at all the different flowers and trees arround her. She closed her wide mouth and a smile curled arround her soft, gental, red lips. Her eyes narrowed and she looked so peaceful being in this place. Sarah wondered over to a pond with clear blue water, a much more beautiful color than the sky above, and it was so clear she could see the pebbles and large rocks at the bottom, also the koi swimming in it. "Koi fish! I haven't seen these kinds of fish in ages!" she whispered in a soft cheerful voice to herself. It was as if she were in a room with someone sleeping inside and she didn't want to wake them. She sat down by the pond on a bolder and gazed at the koi fish swimming below, then looked at her light reflaction in the water.
she thought for awhile, letting almost half an hour of her life pass her by.
'I wonder how Gackt and everyone els is doing, I havent seen them in awhile...' She didn't mind being here for that long, it was alright as long as she wasn't wasting her time. Being in a place like this made her happy, and doing anything making her that way wasn't wasting her time to her. Sarah fell backwords on her back and gazed at the blue sky. Her arm was streched far out and above her head, and her right arm was wrapped arround her stomache as her fragile body rested on the earths' floor. Her smile faded and her eyes closed completely. Sarah let out a loud breath and took in a deep breath of the clean fresh air from the garden. 'everything is so fresh and calm here.... I need to come here more often... So quiet, It's a nice place to relax... I should bring my friends here sometime..' she thought, feeling alittle lonely as the time slowly passed with no one there to share this beautiful place with. She layed there, alone in the garden of eden, quietly not making any sounds but her own breathing.She looked almost dead, The only thing that moved was her chest when she would finaly take a slow breath and her hair when the wind ruffled her hair as it passed by. 'I wonder if i'm going to meet anyone new here at this garden...' Sarah thought.
((probably my longest post ever xD))

Kali slid a slender hand across the old iron bars, taking detail into the intwining of greedy, over powering vines as they glimmered like emerald in the comforting sun. She breathed a sigh of content with a stretch, happily taking in the Sun's warmth. Just as the Earth, she prospered from the Sun's rays.They kept her going no matter what and gave her great energy when she needed it most. It came to a good advantage during a fight, keeping her ready and stable for another blow at any time. She looked past the gate to see the dirt path split into four. She could also feel the flow of water from the ground, rushing up her legs in tiny spasms that was not noticeable to the human eye.
She dared to push the gate open a crack, regreting her move as it creaked on its hinges. She slipped into the garden as her slim stomach creeped past the bars with a slight touch. She looked around curiously, happy that someone was curtious to the Earth. Kali chose a path, hearing her shoes pad lightly against the dirt covered path. Her body tingled as she recieved messages from so many things. The birds, squirrels, and fish. But there was one more thing speaking to her. The plants? Yes. The flowers and trees were speaking to her. Seeing as she was an Earth spirit, she could talk with them and understand them, but this had never happened before.
She could feel their thoughts. Their only thoughts to live and to survive even though they were protected from all harm. Their pure instinct drove them on to work as an unprotected flower would. To collect the Sun's rays and work together with collected water to gain energy and to not welt, even though they wouldn't. The messages were overpowering as her knees began to buckle. She trembled lightly, trying to clear her mind. Slowly the messages receeded as she slowly formed barriers around her mind. She sighed in relief, leaning against a large Oak tree. She then straightened up, patting down her blue velvet dress.
The Sun poured through the green leaves above as the path was laced with trees to the left and right. Crimson eyes were concealed as she trusted herself to maneuver along the path upon the spirit flowing from the largest treein the Acre. Soon she stopped in her tracks, looking up. The large tree jutted upwards for more than 50 feet, soaring up into the vast sky. Many benches encircled the tree and looked as if they had grown from the tree themselves. She sat on a wooden bench, looking up towards the sky as the moon was still visible. It was the break of dawn and many blooming colors painted the new sky. The horizon was painted a delightful pink, basking out into a deep violet as clouds gathered passed that.

Sarah moved the arm wrapped arround her stomache towards her pale face, placing her fingures elegantly on her red lips with thoughts of the night before. The kiss was on her mind now. Her mind drifted to so many things while she has been in this garden of much beauty, like her first day at Ria. She remembered Her very first friend at the school, Dennise. Also first fight... It was close to the beltower and didn't last long, but it was still a fight, and a deadly one at that. But this thought stuck to her for a long time. It was hard for her to consentrate on one thought, being so tired from not being able to sleep last night, but she managed to think long and hard about it. She did truely like that boy, Gackt. She did like him alot, more than she's liked anyone before. He was so king, giving, happy, just about everything she was looking for. What was that feeling? It was so different from the others i've felt before.... she wondered in thought, her eyes were glossy and filled with even more sparkles than before. It wasn't always like this.... She didn't want to think about it to much, so she tried hard to block out all of her thoughts with the sound of the fish swimming, birds singing their soft songs, and the wind dancing with the trees. It calmed her down quickly, she was to tired to be thinking much now anyway.
She sat up from her laying position on the green tall grass, and sat up. Sarah then curled herself up into a small, tight ball. Sarah now had her arms wrapped arround her skinny, long legs, and then found her knees holding her head up. Her eyes were opened again, as wide as they were when she first walked into the garden of eden, but now they were not filled with great happyness, nor were they filled with the emotions of sadness or anger. Not many could tell her emotion at this moment, they looked dry, possessed, emotionless. It was like she wasn't there at all, or like a ghost still conected to the world of the living. She didn't smile, and nor did Sarah frown, no emotion what-so-ever on her white, blank face. She held her head down low, but it was still being held up by her knees. Sarah let her long orange bangs flop down, covering her emotionless orange eyes and now making it even harder to tell if there was still life in her almost motionless body. The only thing that moved was her chest when she took a breath. I'm ...So tired.... she thought slowly and took a long slow blink, trying to put some moister into her dried bloodshot eyes.
She let the sounds arround her be her soft luliby, slowly making her drift to a quiet sleep. The birds, Koi fish, Trees, flowers, The wind, and footsteps of ther very few people there in the garden were all part of this song. She fell back again on the thick lush grass, making a loud thud, almost as loud as the heart beating hard against her chest now from the thoughts of the night. Her sparkling, wide, orange eyes slowly closed once more, but this time she was sleep, not in a deep thought as before. She was in that same position as she was before: Her right arm wrapped arround her stomache, her left lifted high above her head, and her eyes closed. You could here her breathe loudly as she slept. Finaly she got some sleep, unlike the long night before. She didn't have much to dream about, just darkness. She slept soundly, not talking, snoring, screaming, or even moving at while she slept except for her soft breath. Being in such a peaceful area like this made it so easy to fall asleep.
edit:After awhile, when Sarah finaly had some energy to walk, she awoke from her sluber. "I need to get going..." she mumbled to herself slowly opening her orange eyes, keeping them narrow. She blinked alot, they felt dry like dust was in them and they felt very heavy. She stood up and rubbed her heavy eyes, trying to wake herself up a bit more. She stumbled over to the tall steel gates that were covered in Ivy and walked slowly out of the Garden of Eden, hearing her slowly placed footsteps and her feet crushing the already crushed rubble. "Don't worry, you'll be back sooner than you know." she mumbled to herself as she walked out, her head low and a hunched back. . She almost tripped over her own feet as she tried to walk out of the garden of eden, but caught her balance before she started to fall. Sarah yawned and streched her arms high above her head and leaned back as she woke up a bit more. "Where too now?" she asked herself, finaly leaving the area of this garden. It looked like she was headed towards Ria High, but no one could be sure.
((to much noise arround this house, sorry if I dont make things clear))

Occ: because no one has posted, i'm gunna post again))
Roxxan gazed at the grass with an emoless look upon her sparkling blue eyes as she walked towards the ivy covered gates of the garden. This was her first time being here, but she didnt seem to excited about it at first. She was too much in thought. She didnt even realize she was around this place until she tripped, falling upon the gate and knocking it open. "AH!" she yelled as she crashed into the crumbled ground, face first. "Okay... That was different..." She mumbled after she had spit some of the dirt out of her mouth. Roxxan brushed all the pubbles out of her hair then took a look around. "Oh... Such a beautiful place!" She said in awe as she looked at the verrioty of flowers and trees. "The air is so fresh to!" Her eyes began to twinkle a little now. She had now fallen inlove with this place. "I wonder if anyone els is here..." Roxxan said to herself, then lifted her body off of the ground. She moved towards one of the trees and leaned upon it, then she gazed around looking to see if anymore people were here. She had hoped there would be more.
