The group, dressed in their everyday clothes, followed the Wood Elf attendant through the tree-canopy corridors.
Upon reaching a giant tree, they ascended a staircase step by step toward its crown.
Butterflies drifted down from the sky, circling and dancing around them.
A few more steps upward, and the view suddenly opened up before them.
A splendid, dazzling sea of flowers burst into view. Planters cultivated on living wood rested among verdant branches, with flowers blooming so profusely that it was hard to tell whether the surrounding green belonged to the flora or the leaves of the giant tree itself.
These Elves had actually built a garden at the crown of the tree.
'It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this a hanging garden,' Colin thought.
The group followed the maze-like paths, partitioned by flowers, and slowly made their way to the center of the garden.
Here, there were several floral gazebos, and between them stood round tables laden with food.
