The Garden

Dimia takes a gaze at the outside parts, outside of the cave they have left. It seems theyare surrounded by mountains. There are rock walls that cover the place! Dimia does not understand this place. The walls spread endlessly!

Dimia turns her gaze above the land! There is no star! There are clouds of light! The light, coming from the clouds, is pleasant for the eyes and they brighten up the entire place.

      Dimia: Master… where are we?

The younglings have never seen such a place. They are amazed, thrill and terrified at the same time.

      Oran: This is an underground place… It has underground tunnels! Tunnels that lead to the near sanctuaries…

      Vero: To the sanctuaries?

      Oran: Yes, Vero! This is a shelter…

      Brett: Shelter from what, Master?

      Dylan: War!

      Brett: There is no war here!

      Oran: Not between us, but nobody knows what dangers might come!

The younglings meditate on their master’s words. Their eyes move all around the place! Their curiosity observe as much as it can.

      Oran: The 5Canton system, given to us from ANDROMEDA, imposes us to have many underground shelters! This is the Garden!

      Dimia: Why didn't we come here from the sanctuary?

The master rubs his beard, in contemplation, with his fingers. He gazes at the afar adolescents and animals.

      Oran: You are here to train! Not explore holes in the ground

The master begins to walk away from the younglings. Oran goes to the near of the hill.

      Oran: Come, young creatures! Follow me!

The master arrives at some stone stairs. Oran descends them. The trainees follow their master. The hill is divided into three truncated layers. The layer below the other is wider! Above, is the waterfall cave. In the middle, there is a spread field with some huts placed around. The huts appear to be built by using lianas and thin trees. Willows and hay cover the top of the huts. The lowest level has the widest spread – there is THE GARDEN itself!

The master descends to the layer with the many huts! They are enough for all the younglings and more!

      Gracia: What are these, Master?
