(The Eternal Garden, Mauriss's POV)
Once Mauriss found out that Raymond had ducked his formal invitation to meet, it instantly made him even more suspicious of the young man, as he headed straight to the Eternal Garden to talk about it to Raymond's father, Kaelith.
Yet, to his astonishment, the instant he tried to cross the threshold of the Eternal Garden's divine realm, the domain itself rejected him.
As no matter how many times he attempted to force his way through, the barrier shimmered coldly and denied him passage.
"Kaelith… What kind of twisted jest is this? Open your gates at once, or I swear I will cut this wretched garden apart!" Mauriss thundered, his voice ringing like a blade, though the silence that answered him only sharpened his irritation.
What many did not understand about the Eternal Garden was that it wasn't simply a floating rock in the universe like Planet Granada, but rather a domain skill created by Kaelith himself.
