21. Outside
The minute Agate took her first steps into the outside world, she didn't look back. Sunshine warming her skin. The soft green grass tickling her toes. The river's frigid, cold waters hydrating her skin. Flowers in a rainbow of colors sprouting up from the ground, greeting her with their lively petals.
Agate had nothing against staying inside sometimes. Even she wanted to sit back and relax when she wanted to. But if she could have her way, she'd live in the trees, right alongside nature. Watching the river amble along, and her animal friends frolicking about.
For Agate, this was paradise.
