there was an echo, far and faint

Ellara padded softly into The God's Garden, her eyes widening in awe at the sight before her. The smattering of stone foundations hinted at a long-forgotten civilization, their edges softened by years of encroaching vegetation. The clearing, though slowly being claimed by the surrounding woodland, was still a haven for a myriad of herbs. What once must have been carefully cultivated beds now grew wild and free, creating a tapestry of green and vibrant blooms. The air was thick with the scents of mint, lavender, and other aromatic plants, making Ellara's nose twitch with pleasure.

As she walked further into the clearing, Ellara marveled at the abundance of rare plants. Her healer's heart sang at the sight of so many useful herbs thriving here. She noted clusters of goldenrod, feverfew, and yarrow among the more common varieties. Carefully, she began to assess the area, her mind already planning how best to harvest and replant these treasures. She found a particularly lush patch of echinacea and decided it would be the first to receive her attention.

With practiced precision, Ellara began to dig gently around the base of the echinacea, her claws skillfully loosening the earth. She worked with care, ensuring not to damage the delicate roots. Once she had a few healthy plants uprooted, she moved to a more secluded part of the garden, where the woodland's encroachment provided a natural barrier against the elements. Here, she began to replant the echinacea, spacing them out to give each plant enough room to grow strong and healthy.
