As I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the rustling leaves above my head. I realized that I was surrounded by all trees. Encaging me from the cold ground was an old, dirtied white bath, moss growing over the edges with flowers around it.

A clearing full of wild flowers neatly kept around a path. And further down, a house. A dark, heartless mansion built out of stones and sweat, with tall windows and doors as if giants lived in it. It wasn't my first visit.

I continued my way towards the building, first reaching the fountain of the garden a few meter away from the stone walls. It was a true art piece, a tall, three stages, center piece nicely carved by hands giving it the most extravagant design one could see. Water sprouted from the top of it, flowing down and creating a beautiful blurry skirt.

My fingers reached for the edge, trailing the soft material of the art piece.
