Elena's pov:

I'll admit it.
I thought, just thought, that this was some 30 acres lavish botanical Garden.

BUT IT'S NOT!
I REPEAT, IT'S NOT!!

Now, it started as a botanical Garden, but as I went deeper, it turned into a tropical one.
Although, after an hour of walking, I did come across the signboard.

Now here I am.
Amidst a tropical forest, which looks like it is closing in every minute.
It's mesmerizing and scary too.
Feels like I'm in Jumangi.

I didn't lose the stone path though.
And it's hedged, so I don't think I'll get lost.

But botanical garden was much beautiful. It had such big gate and fountain made of grass.

After a while I reached a lake.
Ok, so lake was this big that it was overlapping with other side of the garden.

It was like the middle share of both sides.

So, to cover this part soon, I have to circle around this lake? Is it?

It's amazing I must say. And it was covered with flowers all around.
It even had boating equipment.

But how?
How am I going to cover this much distance?
I'll be dead before I reach even the mid.

I can't walk anymore.
And he didn't even tell me anything about it.
He should've atleast warned me about the distance or send someone with me.

I don't think I can even walk back as much as I came.

Should I just rest for a while?
Although he did give me a warning to return before dinner.

What does he think? Am I flash? Or superman?
I'm just a fragile girl and I just wanna sit on the side of this magnificent lake and cry.

Well, he will notice when I won't return. Right?
So, he'll come find me and take me back?

Should I wait it out?
I mean he can't get mad at me for having sore feet and being dead by that time?

I sat at a bench near lake and massaged my aching feet.

In the dead calm, I heard shuffling.
I looked back and Ziv came out of the bush.
So he's still following me?

He came to me and I relaxed back a little.
I'm still unsure of this white lion.

He sniffed my feet and licked them.
Wow.
He's so cute and kind.

Let's rejudge him.

He purred like a big cat and rubbed his face to my legs.

I very slowly reached my hand out.
Should I try and pat him?
He do deserve a good boy pat.

I very carefully touched his head and he didn't react.
So I patted on his head and scratched his ears a little.

He did seem to enjoy it.

For being a scary big pet of Lucifer, he does like to get all snuggly and cute.

He got up suddenly and sat horizontally to my legs.
He looked at me once and wiggled his tail.

He looks like he wants something.
Does he want something?

I got up and started walking.
I should atleast try to get to the mid.
I want to see more of this place before I am out of breath.

But the lion was very persistent.
He circled around me and sat in front of me again.
