The Borealis Garden

115.75 INK

a part of The Multiverse, by Remæus.

The Borealis Gardens are filled with exotic plants which seem to move when one is not looking directly at the foliage. They are brilliantly colored and a sweet scent touches the air, almost intoxicating for those who are not Promethean. They dim the senses in order to help protect the precious manor which lies beyond the elaborate and luxurious garden. A cobble stone pathway leads toward the home while something slithers through the grass unseen. It leaves most with an unsettling feeling in their stomach and perhaps a twinge of fear.

CriminalMinds holds sovereignty over The Borealis Garden, giving them the ability to make limited changes.

There the promthean stood in the middle of the stone walkway, staring at the abandoned manor which had once been so full of life. She took another step forward and the grass of the garden shivered as something slithered along the ground.

Talitha tore her eyes away from the house and looked down at her bandaged shoulder, and the make shift sling. Turning to her right, the promethean plucked an apple so red that it appeared black, from a tree.

The promethean was about to bite into it but instead, her attention was drawn towards Lady Une Drive.

Xvander stopped his bike by the edge of the gardens and frowned slightly. He made it a habit of knowing those places within Wing City that held any interest for him. But this one had eluded him somehow. But tonight the winds were just right and he had caught the slightest wiff of an unknown flower. Plants held a peculiar interest for him, they did not exist in any peculiar abundance on his homeworld, and yet they were absolutely everywhere in the rest of the universe, and quite as diverse in their methods of survival. He turned it off and walked his bike along the path a little way until it was invisible from the street and dropped the kickstand. Then he walked in deeper on his own, the darkening sky no bother to him. As his vision adjusted, his eyes took on a darker huge.

"You've followed me, it seems," Talitha said in a dull tone. It was not a tone that was bored, but it just seemed devoid of originality, as if it was just a generic sound to fill a purpose of communication.

"I would not walk further until I invite you to the manor," the promethean warned before she drew her gaze toward the grass which was moving in a more aggressive manner. It stopped just at the edge of the pathway where Xvander stood. Another step and the creature that lurked beneath was going to strike at him with paralytic poisons.

"Why are you here," Talitha asked.

"I have no interest in your manor," he spoke mater of fact. "Nor was my intent to follow you anywhere. I followed the scent of the flowers. I did not recognize that particular perfume."
He gaze moved around, looking for the source of the movement in the grass and then nodded as he spotted it and took a careful step back, his right hand curled a little as he he prepared a toxin along his fingers.
"I mean you no harm. I was curious about the lowers. It is a passing interest of mine, among other things."

"Of course you did not," Talitha stated while drawing near to Xvander. She walked until there was only a foot between them in distance. The black apple was still held in her hand while her arm laid loosely at her side. The other was still bound in the makeshift sling that Xvander had made with her guidance.

"This is a Promethean garden and everything here is alien to, not just this world, but this entire demension," Talitha informed her unexpected guest. She looked to the side and using her tongue, Talitha made several low and high pitched clicking sounds with her tongue. A voice that was not hers answered in the same manner before a serpent creature slithered over the stones. It resembled a snake with scales like the blades of grass it laid in, but when it crossed the stone, its skin became stone, before turning back into the grass it was before when it reached the other side.

"You are now invited and welcome to the Borealis Manor. Tell me, what are your interests, Xvander," Talitha asked him, tilting her head to the side with ivory hair sliding against her shoulders.

"My interested are survival," he nodded to her in brief thanks for diverting the creature and walked along side her. "Survival of myself and my company. He tried to remember if he knew anything of Prometheans, unfortunetly all he knew was rumor and speculation, no hard facts came to him at the moment, though he would be doing an in depth search later once he returned to his own manor by the seaside. "I don't believe I got your name last time. You have the advantage of me." He gave her a brief but kind smile that didn't quite make it to his eyes. He looked her over, noting her more closely than he had the last time. While in his gullet special cells prepared the enzymes he would need to break down and incorporate her genetic material into his own.

The promethean looked Xvander over in full from his shoes to his eyes after stopping her walk toward the abandoned manor. She tucked the black apple into her pocket before she finally offered her name.

"Talitha Borealis," she spoke before placing two chaste touches of her lips to each side of his face. It was done ritualistically and out of respect for Xvander as well as the custom of her people.

"The name does not hold much power any longer seeing as my family has all but disappeared. They have been gone for years," Talitha said with a wide gesture to the unattended garden. It was attempting to swallow the stone fence along with the manor in front of them.

The alien accepted the ritual kisses and nodded slightly to her once she retreated. "Perhaps, but the garden still holds many wonders. I ask that I might be allowed to take some samples and grow them in my own garden. It is no where as grand, but it is well kept and guarded more securely from intruders." He held out an arm to her. "It would please me greatly if you would show me around at least a little, no mater your reply."

"Take what you will," Talitha said while stepping outside of the pathway's boundaries and onto the grass. A vine with deep purple leaves like star bursts reached out to her and Talitha reached out to it. The plant shivered in pleasure and the aroma of the garden grew more prevelant.

"I cannot say that they will grow for you," the promethean stated, pointing with her white eyes to how the plants appeared to lean away from Xvander. She never did take his arm but Talitha did not move far from him either.

"I will take samples of the earth and surroundings and attempt to recreate them. If that does not work then I will ask that perhaps you will accompany then, to ensure that my garden will flourish. I can provide payment and housing as well as whatever else you may need." He followed her and watched with curiosity as the plant shied away from him, but made no move to follow it. "I have a vested interest in the survival of rare samples." He gave another brief smile that hinted at something more.
"But let us leave that for now. There are other curiosities present," he looked her over pointedly. "You first inquired why I was here. And you received my answer. Now I return the question. Why are you here in this dying garden and empty manor?"

"I belong here," Talitha said. "This is my home, the Borealis Manor that once held the great Promethean families of Media, Australis, Borealis, and Vega. They are gone now, returned to where they had come from and to the time period where they belong. The ones that were here were more primitive than myself. I am their descendant of several generations. My great-great-great grandmother was Norma Borealis, Primus of the Canum Venaticorum and Empress of the Prometheans. They were, what Terrans call a 'mob' family. The Canum is no more and neither is the power of the Borealis family."

"Prometheans are alien to this world. We once held magic, given to us by our patron god, Prometheus. However, that magic sank deep into our bones and warped us into something more-than-human," Talitha said before turning around to face Xvander.

She no longer looked like Talitha, but resembled Xvander himself though with female traits in an extact carbon copy.

"This place is a relic, forgotten by everyone but you," he motioned around then, not terribly shocked by her transformative ability. It could account for a number o things in the genetic sample he took before. He was't sure he could assimilate a magic born mutation. But he was going to try. "How about you come with me? Forge something new, stronger. Your abilities would certainly be a asset to me and I can make it worth your time."

Talitha's features bled until they were her earlier appearance once more (for there was no telling what was her 'true appearance' or if it was humanoid at all). "And why should I agree with this offer," the promethean said, skeptically, before asking, "What do I have to gain from such a partnership?"

"Money, which I may presume doesn't interest you as a prime motivator. Companions whom you would work with and would recognize your accomplishments." He looked her in the eye and attempted to hold her gaze. "I pay for certain perks as well out of pocket, resources to aid my employees with their own goals, within reason of course. But perhaps if you told me what you desired, the I would be able to tell you how possible or not those things might be."

"The price I am going to ask is even too high for you. It is impossible to accomplish and it has nothing to do with material gain," Talitha said before walking past the man back onto the stone path. She drew the apple from her pocket, holding it before her eyes.

"For a thing to grow and flourish, it must be planted in the soil with a seed. That seed needs to be nurished and given chance to grow before it blooms and creates its own fruit. When that fruit falls from the tree, it travels back to the earth and returns more seed to give more life than came before it," the promethean said, cryptically before she bit into the apple, staining her lips a shade more red.

Xvander frowned at her. "It is not your place to say what I can or cannot afford, especially when you do not know my resources. As for the rest the cycle is a natural one, what of it? Cryptic remarks are for philosophers or mystics, I am neither. I am a man of reality, wealth, power, and ability are what define myself and my company." He took a moment to pause and straighten his suit. "I wish to hire you, but I am not above being annoyed by such prattle." He gave her an even look. "So speak plainly. What is it you desire?"

"A child," Talitha said while looking to the manor. "A Promethean child." There was a tense moment of silence as the woman continued to stare at the hollow house before she looked down at the apple and it's blood red filling.

"You cannot give me a Promethean child while I am the only one surviving. It is impossible," Talitha said before the fruit rolled out of her hand and bounced into the grass, disappearing.

Perhaps some things were meant to die.

He was silent for a long moment as he thought about her desire. "There are some... inherent difficulties I can think of off the top of my head. However cloning a child from a single viable adult is not unheard of. However your genetic structure may prove more difficult than I can say as you are, as you said before, not human. Your morphing abilities provide further problems." He looked up at her and smiled. "However I am willing to place quite a lot into the possibility of giving you a child. As I mentioned before. I have a vested interest in preserving the survival of rare species." He looked around. "Your garden and yourself." He looked back at her once more. "It will likely be a long process, and I cannot gaurentee immediate results, but I will try, hard."

"And if you do not achieve that goal," Talitha asked, "What then will you be able to give me in equal payment to stoke the flame of my species which is quickly dying? What then, will you give me for services already rendered?" It was a fair question. Talitha was not going to offer herself without equal payment in return.

"THen I will offer you a child of my own to do with as you will. I am Xvander of the Uradu," as he spoke he held out his right hand and let his claws split through the human flesh mask revealing the black glossy skin of one of the most voracious predators in the known universe. He risked a lot showing this to her, but it was a risk he could mitigate in several respects and he had already convinced himself of the worth of continuing.

Talitha's eyes lowered to the revealed claw and her colorless eyes narrowed. "A revelation such as this makes one wonder if anything is as it appears," the Promethean said before looking to Xvander's eyes.

"Your terms are acceptable. Even if not fullblood, it would still be Promethean, and my species would linger for many more generations before dying out," Talitha said before she nodded.

"You have my services and loyalty for as long as you can sustain your end of our bargain."

"Very little is as it appears," he smiled, truly pleased with the turn out of this fortuitous meeting. He lowered his hand and let his claws recede, the flesh mask healing slowly, black scars appearing where he split the skin. It would need to be replaced entirely before he could continue his human masquerade. "Though I will have to insist that this particular revelation be kept between us for obvious reasons. My security as well as the security of people who work for me depends on knowledge of such things being kept to an absolute minimum. You are the only person who is fully aware of what I am." And even then he had not told her everything.

Talitha walked toward Xvander, watching him with a steady gaze, and passed him while saying, "I know nothing of you, Xvander." She went to the fruit bearing tree and pluck another ebony apple from its boughs.

"Collect samples of my garden as you please," the Promethean stated, "None of them are hostile and the guardian knows that you are not an enemy. He'll not bother you and do not listen to what he may have to say." For the first time a smile rose on her lips before Talitha turned her face from him.

"The garden isn't going anywhere, tomorrow I will send some people to collect samples of the earth and water, construction of a place in my gardens to house them will begin shortly there after and then they will be introduced. It was not something to be accomplished in such a short period as a night," he glanced back in the direction of his motercycle. "Besides, I have no space in which to carry them." He gave a brief chuckle and turned to her. "Perhaps instead I should learn something more of my newest employee, and as it happens she may have questions of me." He held his hands behind his back and observed her silently.

"There is danger with knowledge," Talitha stated before she tossed the apple to Xvander, offering him to taste it. If he did, he was going to find it divine in its sweetness, smooth in texture, and filling when it hit his belly.

"You may tell me what you wish for me to know and, in return, I will tell you what I wish for you to know," she said in counteraction to his words. Talitha was a smart woman and clever, twisting words and consequences to her desires.

The Promethean looked down at her sling and began to unwrap it from her shoulder and torso. For a human, it would be all too soon, but for a Promethean, there would only be lingering bruises and soreness.
