The Kinnefull Garden Series...

Chapter IIII: Part V- For Kinnedara's Sake

The King walked with his head down in the heavy pouring rain within Illuminata. Reflecting on where he went wrong with Cynnedie and how he could make her understand exactly where she went wrong so that she could make it right. After hours of soul searching The King still couldn't figure out what to do.

So he decided to go and see Kinnedara to beg her for her forgiveness. Illuminata put a protective barrier around her so that Gregory couldn't get too close to her. The note read, "You are still on punishement Gregory for what you did... you can talk to her but I won't allow you to touch her. Figure out how to straighten out Cynnedie BEFORE I let you interact with my precious Kinnedara."

Through the enclosure, Kinnedara looked extremely pale and serene in her induced sleep. The King felt so horrible for what Kinnedara must have experienced with Cynnedie. Tears of sadness overcame him as he saw how close to death she had come. He made an agreement with himself to never allow anymore harm to come to Kinnedara for the sake of Cynnedie's "emotional education." The King almost thought of telling Cynnedie that she had actually killed her garden and that this is a new one that came with even more rules but he knew that Cynnedie made a bond with Kinnedara and was finally opening up to someone. Maybe he could have a sit down with Cynnedie to help her understand the gravity of her actions.

Then The King figured it out: He would bring Cynnedie to his own garden and show her firsthand what it means to tend and take care of your garden. Illuminata would show her around and help her better understand the relationship between her emotions and the garden. He would show her where Kinne was (in her child-like form so not to upset her with how much she looks like her mother) and explain to her that she can never do something like that again.

"Illuminata, I'm going to bring Cynnedie here to see the garden so that she can see with her own eyes what happens when she looses control of her emotions. I need you to please turn Kinnedara back into Kinne's form for this-" Before he could finish Illuminata cut him off to put in her two cents.

"I refuse to turn her back Gregory. But I will create an illusion of Kinne in another room where she can see her with a barrier so that Cynnedie can't touch her and see that she is the fake. Just know that I won't go easy on your daughter about what she did to my precious girl. Yes, I'll refer to her as Kinne but only this one time Gregory..."

With a plan in place The King left the garden and mentally prepared himself to deal with Cynnedie.
