You enter the quiet gardens surrounding Sanori. A girl waits for you at the gates just ahead, the sun glistening off of her chestnut curls while the warm summer breeze plays with her skirt. "Hello," she calls, smiling calmly at you, "my name is Jewel. I am keeper of this garden and all that lives inside." She turns and waves her hands above her head in a grand jesture, bringing your attention to the tall hedges and draping ivy far above you. She smiles again when she recognizes the awe in your eyes, and turns, leading you beyond the gate and into the English-style gardens just beyond. She pulls her long, shiny hair behind her back and continues to speak as she walks. "The land of Sanori is an ancient one, but a glorious one. I came to be here only a short while ago, when the earth called me to this place. You see, this garden was dying. It was suffering from neglect and the terrible thought that no one cared."

She stops in a small garden of morning glories and sleeping moon flowers. The whole area is speckled with a rainbow of wild flowers, every size and color imaginable, and you can't help feeling slightly out of place. The pretty girl turns her attention to you, speaking in a calm voice, "I know it seems like a lot of fuss for a garden, but this is a land of magic, a place like no other, and it can only survive and thrive when someone cares and believes in it. However, the moment a nonbeliever or those with wicked intentions in their heart enter this place, they suck up the magic like a sponge and the creatures and the flowers begin to weaken and slowly die. So now you know why I am here. I must protect this place from those intent on harming it. They say it was my destiny, and I suppose they're right."

"Creatures are beginning to come back to the gardens, as well as the flowers. Dragons are being born everyday now, and begin to fill the gaps of those lost because of disbelievers. To ensure that you won't harm the new birth, you must agree to the rules of the garden. This palce is sacred, and must not be harmed. There is much to see, so please read the rules." she says, handing you a worn scroll. You nod and take the paper from her hands.
