From the safe confines of Hallows territory, Ioan had spied the blooming God's Garden. Ever since winter had gone to sleep and Spring was allowed to push fresh bulbs and new shoots above the defrosted surface, Ioan itched to explore it. With his reading and healing lessons going well, something in him told him that he needed a challenge. If he could gather an herb by himself, he could show his parents how good of a pup he was! Except, he wasn't allowed to go alone. Which was fine, but it meant he had to bade his time. Wait for the right moment to bombard his father, begging to be taken out to explore the neighboring territory. To Ioan's surprise, Artorias relented. He could join the Lord of Cinder on a patrol of the God's Garden and look about for plants while there. He couldn't contain his excitement. Full body puppy wiggles around as he jumped and yipped loudly. It would be the first time Ioan was excited about venturing outside. Bramble's friend, Quill, had just been attacked by a bear in their own grove so the idea of being alone in such dangerous conditions was truly terrifying. As soon as they reached the God's Garden border, Ioan looked up to Artorias with a wide smile, tail wagging ferociously. With a nod and another reminder that Ioan gratefully agreed to to keep close, he was off. Bounding through the dewy grasses toward a cluster of white flowers reaching toward the heavens. The rich, woody smell of Queen's Anne Lace told him he was indeed in the right spot. Stopping before the large plant to inspect first, ensuring it wasn't indeed Hemlock, Ioan began enjoying his herb collecting adventure. |
