(permission given by Lunar)  A calm serene garden In the back of the Palais there is a lush garden that gos on into the woods. Many times the pack come here to relax and sit down for a nice nap. But it is also Alexa's favorite area to play in.At many points in the day she is seen running through here and picking flowers, or watching the little bugs and small critters. There is a small creek that runs throughout the garden and ends at a small pond. An large array of wildflowers and grasses also grow here. There are stone benches sitting off of the path for anyone to sit on.

*Alexa ran out the Palais doors and into the garden. It was a warm day and the garden looked so bright and vibrant in the sun light. She ran down to the small creek and looked into its clear waters. As she wached the water a bright colored fish swam by and went on its way down the creek. Alexa ran along side it happy and laughing with joy as she went after the little fish.*

* the fish had swam all the way down to the pond, Alexa had followed it and stopped at the pond. the water was calm expect for were the water ran down into the pond. She could see the fish swimming out in the middle of the pond. Its bright colors sown so well in the crystal waters, its colors were a blend of a mesmerizing orange and red. As she looked closer more of the same fish appeared from the middle of the pond and they swam in a harmony circle around the clear waters of the pond. Alexa was relaxed and soothed by this amazing site, she lay's down on the soft grass and fell asleep.*

Moving quietly through the garden, her hair pulled back from her face in a professional bun, Alexis wandered through the greenery, enjoying the freshness and wildness of what grew around her. She enjoyed being in gardens, and helped to take care of them whenever she could.

*Alexa's dreams were not as sweet or as beautiful as the garden she was sleeping in. It was a nightmare from her past. Flashes of her brother went through her sleeping mind, the orphanage that she could hardly remember the only memory was its dark cold walls. She had flashes of running through the streets the night she ran away, she remember when she was lost and scared in the ally ways. Only in her dream Araclea didn't come and she was still in the alleys. Alexa woke with a harsh cry and pain of lonesomeness. She searched frantically still siting in the grass to make sure she wasn't in the alleys. Salty tears poured from her eyes, she was sad and cold. she needed to be with araclea and so she got up in a panic and ran tears still flowing from her eyes. As she ran she bumped into a large figure that was walking through the garden as well she fell on her but and didn't get up for she was crying to hard to see who it was or even move.* (am I cruel ?)

Alexis head had snapped up at hearing the painful cry, and she had only enough time to brace herself when saw a small figure running at her. The child fell over, and Alexis knelt in front of her, her voice a soothing murmur. She held out a clean handkerchief for the child to use, holding it steady for her to take. She knew better than to force something onto a scared child like this.
(No, I would say you aren't.)

Alexa took the handkerchief and wiped her eye's. She wasnt cry as hard now that she could reconise the voice as Alexis. she looked up at her and said chocking on her own tears."Bad Nightmare, very...very bad" Alexa had stuterd and chocked the whole way through. She was felling better knowing someone was here, and that she was not alone in the alleys.

Alexis say down, smoothing her skirt so that it would lay flat. She held herself loosely, relaxedly, in order to keep calming Alexa down. "Does this nightmare bother you often?"

Alexa nodded her head up and down slowly and whipped the last few tears from her green eyes." It happens sometimes. but It has only happened twice since I meet Araclea." Her lips curled and she sorta shivered like she was still trying to get the dream out of her mind. She clutched her small white dress in her hands like she was still holding back something.

Holding one hand out in a silent invitation for Alexa to sit with her, Alexis reached into the pouch at her side for the ever present sweets she carried. Offering it to the child, she ate one herself, savoring the flavor before speaking. "It's a good thing they've been going away, but sometimes they;ll only go away if you do something about them." She looked down at the girl. "Talking or writing helps some people, and others find different ways to help get rid of the terrors."

Alexa sifted over to Alexis legs and sat between them."I don't know what will help me, I told Aracela but it didn't help I guess." Thoughts ran through her head trying to think off a way to fix this nightmare problem. she looked up at Alexis and asked."How do you deal with these sorta things alexis ??"
Alexa had been wondering the gardens before Alexa had even walked in. He had sat in the tree above the pond and created the illusion of the many fish in the clear waters. When Alexa had fallen asleep he had walked off to another part of the gardens. When he heard the tears he thought nothing off it he just figured she had tripped. As he walked along the rose path he thought of how thankful he was for the beauty that grew in these gardens.

"A good question indeed." Alexis looked up at the sky, her eyes far away. "I write. Sometimes it helps, it feels like everything that's bothering you is leaving." She looked down at Alexa, smiling a little at seeing her serious expression. "You know the feeling where you loose a baby tooth? It's been bothering you for so long that you just want it to stop, but you're afraid to do anything about it. But then you bite an apple or a really sticky piece of candy and it magically pops out." She leaned forward, giving Alexa a hug. "It takes time for the terrors to go away, and sometimes it may seem like they are not going to leave, but they will." She snapped her fingers suddenly. "What about a game? Whenever they start to come back, you start a game that makes you happy."

Alexa looked at alexis with a bit of confusion. " I only know one game and that's patty cake. But I enjoy coming to this garden." The memory of the fish swimming in the pond gave alexa an idea." Alexis follow me please." She jumped up in a sudden dash heading for the pond.
Alex was about done with walking through the garden but he decided to go back to the pond and make sure Alexa wasn't hurt. as he walked on past the roses, the ever greens and all the other plant life in this garden he couldn't help to smile.

Pulling herself to her feet, Alexis followed behind, brushing grass stains off her skirt absentmindedly. "Where are we going?"

Alexa looked far behind her and yelled."The pond to see the pretty fishes." She laughed and went on and stopped at the pond looking up at the man that stode there.
Alex had arrived at the pond only moments before Alexa had had arrived. " Well Alexa did you have a good nap?" He spoke calmly and melo'd tone, and bent done easy to her level,making sure not to scare her off.
