<p>Alba sees a lot of different places in her travels, some of them she wishes she could never leave, and others she is happy to just pass through. This trip has taken her to this bald, mountainous terrain. Although some flowers live on these mountains, they are few and far between, and Alba is missing the conversation and entertainment that flowers usually bring her on her journeys.</p>

<p>Annabella has been building up her garden since she can remember, and she now has a garden to be proud of.</p>
<p>people from all over come to ask her advice on flowers and gardening in general. She loves collecting strange looking flowers  which not many people have seen before.</p>
<p>As well as adding to the colourful mix of plants that make up her garden, she finds these flowers very interesting to talk to. These exotic varieties come from far and wide, and Annabella loves to sit and listen to their tales from places she can only imagine. She is happiest outside talking to her flowers and doing her gardening.</p>
<p>While she&#8217;s listening to their stories she thinks of Alba, and wonders where she is at that moment.</p>

<p>This area has been affected by drought over the past few years, and these flowers have been crying out for water. Not used to humans being able to understand them, Alba is seen as a saint when she responds to their calls.</p>
<p>After dousing them in water, she promises to come back later with more. She likes this area and will enjoy exploring all it has to offer.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Alba and Annabella are twins who were born into a strange, but cosy little town.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While their parents left them at an early age to fend for themselves, they grew to be happy and balanced individuals.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From an early age, both of the girls felt a great connection with the natural world around them. They felt a particular affinity with flowers, and both found they could communicate easily with them in their own flower language.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As they grew older, Alba and Annabella started to grow apart. While Annabella loved the town they grew up in and wanted nothing more than to stay there and grow a small garden of her own, Alba yearned for adventure and wanted to see all the world has to offer. So with no one to stop her, she set off one day and only returns once every year or so.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While they do miss eachother, Alba and Annabella are content in their chosen paths, both finding an equal amount of adventure to keep them happy.</p>
