The chauffeur dropped off Akira and her parents outside a large gate made of solid dark brown wood. The engraved sign above the gate was large and ostentatious with clear golden words: Celestial Blossom Garden.
The garden was surrounded by a tall brick fence covered in creeping ivy with small purple flowers smattered across the surface. In essence, the garden was a delight even before one stepped into the sacred land.
The double sliding gate opened as the three people walked towards it. Akira looked to the corner and noticed the cameras used for monitoring the guests.
She glanced away nonchalantly and looked at the garden.
She immediately understood the reason guests could not enter the garden in vehicles. The Celestial Blossom Garden did not have an internal roadway.
The garden looked raw and untouched. The flowering trees seemed to grow freely and wildly, making one forget that it was a controlled environment. Moreover, the grass covering the ground was also thriving.
