The day was fairly over cast, but the promises of the sun appearing warmed the hearts of most Ulaya who found the grey clouds drab and deary. But if one moved to the north and then side stepped to the west, that one would find a small brightly lit garden full of fragrant flowers and fruiting trees. The neon and pastel flowers mixed to make a scene that might had been an art work brought alive my magic, but the garden had a wild look to it. As if it had not been pruned or taken care of recently, the fruit trees were over producing and their leaves where scattered all over the garden, lining the paths and making a bed around the bases of their trunks. Chaos in peace....
Two pairs of slitted eyes, one crisp blue while the other golden yellow, appeared to be floating within the depths of an apple tree's foliage. It would appear plant life was not the only thing alive in this slice of tranquility...

A petite brown ulaya with a long bushy tail made her way, silently, through the tall grasses and sighted. With a hopeful glance upwards, wishes of sunnier days echoed in her mind, as she trudged here and there, with no particular destination in her thoughts.
A flowery fragrance hit her sensitive senses, and the sound of tall trees rustling in the wind made her ears perk. What a delightful smell! A puzzled expression on her face, the female sniffed her way to the source of the smell, and was met with a grand garden. Never having seen anything like it, her eyes grew big, and she let out a silent gasp. Her black eyes twinkled in delight at the sight, and she slowly made her way in, mesmerized with the beauty of it all, failing to noticing the inhabitant's watchful eyes.

The two pairs of eyes shifted slightly to watch the small brown female enter the garden through the east arch, and began to wonder through the garden. A small hiss excaped the smaller snake as she followed the female's trek through the subtle garden, but was silenced as the male of the two gently prodded her. Picking himself up, the Snake like Ulaya dropped gracefully to the lowest branch of the tree with little noise accompaning his descent. Draping a leg over the edge of said branch, Sinent continued to watch the female through taste and sight.
Taneko
Deeply intoxicated by the smells and sights the heavenly garden provided her, the female ulaya almost didn't pick up on the slightly different sound of rustling. Ears perked, she glanced around in alarm. That hadn't just been the wind.
Scanning the area, she found nothing out of place. Turning around a few times, she wrinkled her brows, and stood completely still, hardly breathing. An intense prickling in the back of her neck alerted her to the fact that she was being watched. But from where?

Smiling slightly, Sinent felt Seris slide off his neck and onto the branch infront of him, altough his eyes were still trained on the female. His green patterned coat made him blend into the leaves of the tree, but most of his body was exposed to sight, so if the female wanted to really see him she'd be able. "Greetingss M'lady to the ssubtle garden."
Taneko
Eve jumped at the sudden sound coming from behind her. Turning on the spot, she spotted a green ulaya, perched in a tree. Silently berating herself for not spotting him the first time around, she smiled half-heartedly and nodded her head to the ulaya.
"Hello there" she quipped, eyeing the snake that seemed to be one with the ulaya "I didn't mean to intrude on your area. I shall leave at once, if you wish" she definately didn't like that snake. It creeped her out. Her eyes fixed on the movements of the snake, she failed to notice the more extreme of the male's physical features.

Jumping down from the brach to the ground, leaving Seris up in her place, Sinent paused a few feet before the female and bowed. "You are welcome to sstay asss long asss you wissh. Thiss garden iss hidden to mosst sso whoever disscoverss it are allowed to sstay." Pausing, the snake like male smiled slightly and continued. "How rude of me, I am Ssinent M'lady."
Taneko
Eve eyed the green ulaya warily as he jumped from his branch in the tree. She had never seen anyone like this green fellow before, but she wasn't one to judge, she decided, as she absentmindedly pawed at her own bushy tail.
Her eyes widened slightly in surprise at hearing the secret of the garden "Hidden?" she wispered. Then why on earth would she of all ulaya's find it? It made no sense. She wasn't anything special. Well, besides her tail and tuft-less ears. Perhaps that was what this was? A garden created especially for those who are different. Voicing her thoughts she answered "It is a pleasure to meet you Sinent" and bowed slightly "I'm Eve... How come I found this area, if its hidden?"

Straightening up so that he could make eye contact again, Sinent smiled at the look upon her face. "I believe you already know the ansswer to your quesstion. Thiss garden can only be sseen by thosse who differ from the normal ssociaty of Ulaya, like children of gods, Ulaya who have different traits and those who simpley think in a specail way. A place and a haven..." Looking down as an apple rolled into his leg, the male picked it up and spun it slightly. "You must differ if you found thiss place..."
Taneko
Eve couldn't help but snort slightly, as she glanced at her painfully obvious tail. "Yeah, well, I most CERTAINLY differ from the norm" she quibbed sarcastically.
Realizing how rude she was coming off, she bit her toungue and said in a much more calm tone "I'm sorry, I forget my manners. Its very nice to meet you Sinent" she smiled a little smile, for once not being able to produce a full fledged grin.

Squering the apple slightly with one of his claws, Sinent looked from the fruit and back to the female. "Being one of a kind iss not and sshould not be a bad thing. Expecailly one who iss asss beautiful asss the other femaless... if not more." Shrugging and then flicking his snake like tongue, the green patterned male focused his slitted eyes as the sunlight shifted a bit. "Ssome of uss are changed more than otherss." Refering to himself, but leaving the sentance open enough to be meant in other ways, Sinent felt Seris climb her way up his leg and wrap herself around his neck... the apple still in his paw.
Taneko
Eve blinked a few times, and blushed. Had he just complimented her? "But... I... er..." was all that escaped her lips. It felt as if her tounge had suddenly swelled up in her mouth, and nothing intelligent would be making its way past.
Looking down and making circles on the ground with her paws she quibbed a tentative "Thank you..."
Glancing up, she saw something green move towards Sinent, and was about to warn him as she realized that a snake was coming straight for him, before she realized that perhaps, being Sinent, this was not a thread. As the snake wrapped itself around the male's neck, this theory was confirmed, and she raised an eyebrow at the peculiar sight, a silent question in her eyes.

"Being a snake hybrid attracks snakes of the normal kind. She is my companion." Grinning as he placed the apple on the ground, Sinent rolled it over to the female. "I have been rude again. This Seris, m'lady." Bowing respectfully to Eve, the snake like male felt Seris shift to a slightly more comfortable position. "Welcome to the Garden Miss Eve. Anything you would like from this garden is yours to take freely, including the apples and fruit from the trees." Picking himself up off of the floor, Sinent silently made his way to and slightly past the bushy tailed female. "Would you like a tour of the Garden?"
It wasn't the first time someone other than himself had found the garden, but it was the first time in a long time that the Ulaya had been a female. The male had to remember his manners, he was a gentleman for the most part, and he was deturmined to stay one if he could. And anyways, females were just easier to talk with, he had found that once they got comfortable that they would open up.

"Your... companion?" The concept was foreign to Eve. She found herself more suprised at the fact that the green male had something so stable, so definite, with him at all times, than the fact that he attracted snakes. Ulayas came in all shapes and sizes, and although this was the first time she had met one that had the traits of another animal, she found it rather... logical. "It must be nice" she mused "Having someone with you at all times" sighing slightly she elaborated "I mean, I wish I never had to wander around alone..."
As he rolled the apple towards her, she muttered a surprised "thank you" and attacked the apple hungrily. She hadn't noticed that she was hungry until now, really. Finishing it off in only a few bites, she blushed hard, and realized that she must have been quite the sight. "Ahem, a tour would be nice, Sinent, thank you" she said, hoping her massacre of the apple would be ignored.

(*bwahahahaha. Yess... eat the forbidden apple Eve...* [shot with a 55 caliber bullet] D: )
"Yes, having someone with you all the time is... quite pleasent. But as you can see, Seris isn't exactly another Ulaya, but of course she is rather interesting to talk to. Understands me better than others will ever..." Looking backwards in time to see Eve devour the apple in a few bites, Sinent let a small chuckle rumble in his chest before continuing. "... well now you know of the garden. If you come here you'll never be alone... unless you wish to be." Smiling ruefully before switching his attention back to the leaf littered lane, the snake began to lead Eve down that very path, sweeping away any branches that stuck up from under their foliage cover. "Its my pleasure. The Garden hasn't been found in a few fortnights, and even longer has it been since a female has visited. The very least I can do is show you around the main parts of the garden."
Happily waiting for the bushy tailed Ulaya to pull up along side him, Sinent felt Seris change her position around his neck to a more comfortable one. 'Shh Seris.'

((pppffftt~ Eve already knows everything 8DDDD;;; *brick'd*))
"In my opinion, any kind of company is better than none" Eve said before furrowing her brows and modifying the statement "Well, unless we're talking about animals that want to kill you or something like that... then I'd really prefer being alone"
She chuckled herself "I much prefer company, really" Eve looked around and marveled at the beauty of the garden. She couldn't see the end of it, and she realized that she wouldn't be surprised if the garden -had- no end. It would suit it, really. She padded along side of the green male, wheels turning in her head, trying to remember every detail of the areas she was passing."No other ulayas are here at the moment?" she finally questioned, almost sad to disturb the peace that the garden created.

"Of course. Although if a thing faces death and gets away, their eyes are either opened or shut tighter against that possibility." Stealing occasional glances at the female, Sinent was content to let a silence setting over the "Yes miss. There are no other Ulaya here at this place in time, only you and I. Therefore the Garden is called 'The Garden of Eve', its a tradition to temporarily name the garden after a single Ulaya when there is one or more present. So that means you are the current Mistress or Master..." Pausing for a moment to turn a corner onto a narrow causeway over a pond, Sinent began again. "Usually if there is more than one Ulaya the garden is named after the first one to appear. Although in the instances that I myself am here with one other Ulaya, the garden is named after the other, no matter if I appear first. I am the-- oops we're here."
Stopping off to the side of a wooden gate, Sinent unlocked the latch and swung the hindged piece of wood open, allowing an entrance to the fenced off area. Crossing a paw in front of his chest in a gesture to go on through, the snake hybrid smiled and dipped his head. "This happens to be one of the most poplular places in the Garden." Waiting quietly until Eve had passed by him, Sinent entered through the small arch and shut the gate behind him. Shifting his eyes onto the blooming trees that surrounded a small dainty clearing, Sinent lead the way over to a section of particularily soft grass near a small stone couch. "We call it the 'intellegance clearing'. The incense trees seem to cause Ulaya to relax and think more clearly."
