Memorial Park

Memorial Park stood in the East of the city, a small patch of green in the surrounding dull tones of cobblestones. The park had been arranged in an octagonal shape, benches, flowerbeds, and grass all orbiting a central statue that was the cause of the park in the first place. The green grasses of Memorial Park made a perfect place for a few tranquil moments away from city life and was considered an excellent place to relax.

Numerous flowerbeds had been dug into the grass that covered the octagon, which were alive with colour in the summer and lush with winter plants in the colder months. The park even contained a fishpond, a rectangular shaped pool where goldfish dwelt under the surface. Neatly arranged in the middle of the park were eight wooden benches, kept neat and clean by the groundskeeper, which were comfortable to sit on all year round. The benches had been placed directly around the large statue in the middle of the park, the stone figures that commerated exactly who the place was in memorial of.

Expertly created from the words of an almost legendary tale, the statue of Lynsa Farn was why the park existed. The statue itself showed Lynsa in action, aiming a bow, while a cowardly golden dracon - his name lost to history - hid behind her. The brass plaque on the statue's pedastal stated "An elite ranger who gave her life to save a caravan of widows and orphans from the Xet, Lynsa Farn is also remembered for her compassion, loyalty, and devotion to duty."

Timestamp: The Month of Immanis in the Season of Spring, of Era II of the Celestine Mandate. Cycle One, Solaria, hour 4.

Bloom sniffed the air with his large nose. The scent agreed with him. He loved the spring and so did Yarrow. It reminded her of times before everyone grew up. Back at home Daisy would be planting flowers and making sure the garden was happy. Bonsai would be playing with a sword and Yarrow would watch them from below a budding tree. It had been so happy then.

I'll find it again... She said to herself or maybe her dog. She cocked her head thoughtfully and then let her eyes close. I have found it... She thought. A smile spread upon her face and she nodded off. Sleep came over her, but she did not mean to let it take over her. When she slept her dreams from last night began to come back to her.

"It's a girl Yarrow...it's a girl."
"Ucla! How lovely! What did you name her?" But Ucla didn't answer her friend. Instead she spun about with the child. Yarrow worried for the baby. That wasn't good for a baby...she put out her hand to stop her friend and felt only air... and then Jack appeared. "Yarrow Woodruff..." He said in a sharp voice and she bowed without realizing what she was doing. He laughed at her and then she blushed deeply. You have called me here, sir?" She asked him and he nodded...

Yarrow slept on and Bloom came back to sit and gaurd his mistress. He was smart for a dog and somehow knew that she needed all the sleep she could get. She hadn't been sleeping well since...for a long time... Bloom twitched his ears and listened for any danger.

Something cold and wet made Yarrow jump awake. Did I fall asleep? She muttered to herself and glanced down at Bloom. He had been the one to wake her up. He was watching after her...even though no one else was. Okay then...time to go home. He barked what seemed to be a 'yes' and the two got up and left the park.
