Casper wakes up to a whimsical morning. A morning bright with the future, yesterday was a journey, now is a moment and the future is infinite. He hears his mother faintly whisper to him but he can't make out what it is. He stares in the mirror, his sunken eyes a void of hopelessness, yet a faint flicker of light seems to probe the darkness, looking for a way out. Then it's gone. Was it Casper's imagination? He shakes his head and goes to the bathroom to freshen up. The water trickles down his vines, droplets glinting in the morning light. Light seems to be endless here, even in the morning. The outside is dazzling with colours reflecting off the towers and celestials. A vibrant rainbow replacing the cool navy blue of the the night sky. The room was nice and comfy, it was sleek and modern the bed soft to the touch, the contrast of white and light hues mixed well with the sunlight, the black wall behind the bed complemented the room.
Casper goes down the elevator for breakfast. The breakfast was forbidden fruit and fruit of stars, food that can only be grown in the celestial realm. Tasting a sweet dream, a melody of life at it's wildest moment. the fruit filled Casper with warmth and gave him the energy to go outside. Crowley mentioned that one of his friends Jake a celestial being from house Zeke would be a good tour guide for some of the more secret areas of this town that not many know about. Jake is apparently cunning and clever and loves to learn about the wonders of the world. He was banished for reading a forbidden book of death written by the first demon king who resurrected himself. Casper was interested by this story and wanted to learn more about the town.
"I see you have come in time, I was wondering if you would showup, Crowley says you are an interesting person. Tell me a secret and I'll show mine." Jake says playful his eyes a golden honey colour.
"I know where the sacred key of hearts is,"
"Oh. How devilish, welcome aboard. Friend," Jake says hugging Casper. A strange sensation to be hugged by a celestial, electricity crawled up his vines. Casper didn't know what to do, everyone is so friendly and welcoming that it bewilders Casper.
Without further ado Jake lividly hums as he walks with Casper to the secret location, a secret that not many beings know of. Casper silently follows feeling butterflies flutter in his belly. He watches as one flutters out and onto a nearby flower shaped like a miniature dragon face. Casper noticed that the emblem of Zeke was on one of the nearby boulders, a shallow pond connected by the gentle flow of water. With grace its direction moulded by the impenetrable boulders. Could this be an imitation of the garden of chaos. A sacred garden in the celestial realm.

" I present the garden of chaos, feast your eyes on this beauty, a secret you must keep,"
"How?"
"yours truly, me, by my hand I command all elements to merge in a beautiful picture. The details are always important, this is an exact replica after all," Jake says proudly his eyes now Purple.
Casper glances at the path of fire plants, plants blazing with a cool fury. The bank of fog, and the exotic plants shaped like animal faces, and there standing proudly at the centre of attention is the tree of chaos a glorious tree radiant with colour of the rainbow. the wind tenderly dances with the falling blossoms. Its a rainbow blossom tree.
"wow..." Casper says staring at every detail, taking it all in.
The air sweet and spicy with the fragrance of the plants, and perfect temperature for his vines. He inhales it in and lies down under the rainbow blossom tree. He could lie there for ages.
"Thank you Jake," Casper says beaming.
"My treat, so about this key, how did you hear of it,"
"A vision, I have them sometimes, it can be the past or the future, they just happen. has been since I first arrived at Hope,"
"Figured you came from Hope, probably the first to come here. what made you come over here,"
"Just a feeling, a call I would say,"
"A call huh. So where could I find this key of hearts,"
"I'm not to sure just remember seeing this forest and a cave shaped like a heart with this weird writing on it, and then the image of a key shaped like a broken heart. I figure someone would need the other half first to make it whole,"
"It's the cave of sirens, it's ten days walk from here. That key is sacred, would be interesting to find out what it will do," Jake looks up at the sky his eye colour honey, "Ok let's get going there's a fun harvest on tonight, Crowley is joining us."
"cool, Harvest sounds fun. Crowley Is interesting,"
"Yeah he is, a demon with not an evil deed, hard to think how he became one,"
"no evil deed by him, even I have done some bad stuff."
"demon's don't do bad things, they are the hounds of evil, they reach no limits to get what they want, but no not Crowley he's different , he's more neutral. The only way to become a demon is if you done something evil. so it's an enigma why he is one. That's why he comes here so often cause like the rest of us he's a misfit."
"sounds tough, I hope everything goes well for him"
"don't worry Crowley will be fine," They look up at the sky for a while longer, at the wispy clouds and the soft blue sky, before they leave.
