Chapter 227: Bee-utiful Flowers
Belissar could have spent all day just watching the new bees. But there was plenty more to see so eventually the tour commenced. Tarwantrad led them down the hill to show them each area in more detail, starting with her own take on the flower meadow. It was arranged more like a garden or a farm, with pathways splitting out separate fields each with different flower types.
“What that?”
Frelis, however, was more interested in a line of identical flowers down the center of the path. Tarwantrad smiled.
“That’s the field alraune, she manages this field and encourages the flowers to stay put. You can say hello, these are friends.”
Frelis buzzed her wings as the flowers began to rise from the dirt. A vine-like root emerged which all the flowers were connected to and waved at the group. Belissar gingerly waved back as Tarwantrad continued.
“You can visit her flowers as well, though I’d hold off on planting any seeds from them. Alraunes take special care to raise…though…”
Tarwantrad looked over at Frelis.
“To be honest, your bees might be able to handle one sooner rather than later.”
Tarwantrad then showed them the rest of the flowers in the field, ranging from mundane to mystical examples like focusing sunflowers or twisting dandelions. She also pointed a few empty spots where Frelis and her fellow gardeners could plant suitable flowers from Belissar’s Tower. Still, they had a lot more room to go through, so Tarwantrad kept it as brief as she could for now.
