Chapter 19

A somber and slowly churning river snakes its way around the broad and
expansive plain. Upon the banks are bursts of color in many differing shades,
almost all of which originate from a multitude of wildflowers. Some of these
flowers are in varying levels of bloom, being that there are more in the hues
of blue and white than the pinks, orange, and magenta preparing to blossom.

Each swaying stem, petal, and bud undulates in the mild breezes that float
across the water's surface. They carry the ever-sweet scents of lilac, poppy,
and roses among many others. Each of a varying scent but together they are
profound and prolific.

To the passerby or onlooker, a short jaunt over these watery surfaces, weaving
about and above the short reeds and rushes leaves a long lasting sense of
peace and tranquility to those with the heart to accept it.
