They led everyone to the edge of town and then into the woods surrounding it, not a hard task given how small Gravette was. Another few minute walk through the woods and Darnies and Chasa stopped suddenly, and the Witch pulled his hand from his pocket to rest them against an old, random tree with a soft hum. The bottom of the trunk began to shimmer before disappearing completely, leaving a large, dark hole that filled half the trunk bottom and its roots.

"I'll go in first," Darnies said, sitting down at the edge and holding the top of the entrance with the hand not holding his cane, like he was at a waterpark going down a slide. "Chasa will follow up the rear once y'all are through." And with that, he used the leverage he had to push himself down, disappearing down the tunnel with the sound of rustling leaves.

When he appeared at the bottom, coming to soft stop, he wiped off his clothes and stood off to the side, waiting for the others.

The cavern was beautiful. It was well lit by luminescent crystals and covered in green. Flowers and other plants seemed randomly interspersed, but Darnies knew they were always put near another plant that wouldn't interact with their magical properties. Moss hung from the ceiling and a small waterfall could be seen to the right of the entrance, leading into a shallow pond. Overall, it was beautiful.

"Hello, Little Earth," A voice announced behind him, and he tilted his head a bit to see the owner. A woman with faded green skin and rich brown hair, twisting gray horns standing atop. Vines made up her clothes and even came seemingly straight from her body, wrapping around it. Her tree-trunk brown eyes shone with life.

"Vie! Good to see you, how's everything going." He replied, a large grin spreading on his face.

"Very well, I've harvested several plants already, and have not had to deal with any invasive species. Many other plants are close to harvest."

"That's great!" He replied as the others finally appeared at the bottom. Just before Chasa, Josip was sent down, and his limp body rolled a few times before coming to a stop. Chasa then appeared at the entrance, crouched down to see what had happened. 

"Should I not have tossed him down?" She asked, head tilted like a confused puppy. "It's a pretty simple trip down..."

Darnies laughed, looking at the Hunter with glee. "Nah Chasa, you were perfect, it's exactly what he needed." He replied. Then, he turned to Vie and led her forward to meet the others. "Everyone, this is Violet, Violet this is...ah..."

"Simon, Neirie, and..." Chasa frowned. "I don't think we got your name yet," She said to Bonnie. "We've been a bit busy." she explained for Vie's sake.

"Pleasure to meet you all." Vie said honestly. "Are you here to buy-"

"Nope! No, Vie," Darnies interrupted before cocking his head. "Or, well, maybe later. Right now we're here to interrogate a Hunter in peace."

Her features darkened a bit in understanding. "The cavern behind the waterfall is open and it keeps him from seeing the whole Garden." She supplied with a glare towards the Hunter. 

Darnies could understand, of course, as the way he had met the Forest Nymph was less than pleasant. He and Chasa had been hiding in a small patch of forest for the night to get to sleep when smoke had woken their senses. Violet had crashed through the trees, half burned and screaming in terror. A Hunter broke through the small clearing just a second after her, homemade flamethrower poised to fire again. 

[i]"Chasa, take care of him please."[/i] Darnies had said, carefully grabbing the wounded creature while pulling a salve out of his threadbare bag. As he applied the salve, Chasa towered over the Hunter, raising a judgmental eyebrow as he tried to use the weapon on her. He would, of course, need more than that to effect her clay-birthed form. 

That was the last Hunter they had killed before coming to Gravette. Vie had actually been the one to sense this place, and they spent a few months making into a thriving environment. When they decided to move into Gravette, Vie chose to stay behind and make it her new Domain, taking care of everything when Darnies couldn't.

Darnies looked to the other Beings, the first ones to ever see their Garden.

"Alright, through the waterfall then." He announced as Chasa picked Josip back up.
