"One tree is like another tree, but not too much. One tulip is like the next tulip, but not altogether. More or less like people - a general outline, then the stunning individual strokes." Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 2 January 2024

The cultivar Salvia officinalis 'Berggarten' (sage) has larger blue-purple flowers and foliage than the species. It forms a substantial sub-shrub with broad grey-felted leaves and thrives in a sunny, free draining location.

Part 3 - The Archmage

Part 1 Part 2 (Author's note: I will begin cataloguing these and naming them in a proper, organized fashion from now on.)

Sage rushes into his own house, his body covered in head to toe from the dirt it had gathered by nonchalantly tripping and rolling downhill in a hurry. "I'm home," the boy exclaims with the biggest smile on his face, breathing heavily still. "So, you finally got my letter?!"

The short elven woman, no taller than an eleven year old child with a hat about one third her size sits across the table from her white-coated ferret familiar as it mimics her every move. The bright reddish hue of her garb contrasting with her well-maintained white hair leavs no doubt in Sage's mind: This woman is a high-ranking spellcaster in her own right. Her eyebrow raises at the mention of a letter. "Are you Sage Berggarten?"

Berggarten? This lady should know well enough - Peasants like him have no such thing as a second name. "N-No, ma'am. It's just Sage. You are an archmage from the capital, right? If you didn't get my letter, why have you come all the way to Autumn's Hill?" Silence. A seemingly eternal moment of awkwardness interrupted by the loud squealing of a ferret. Sage looks around the small wooden cabin his family lives in. The kitchen is separated by a short counter, placed to the east where the sun rises. The beds are lined up conveniently to the western part of the singular main hall. It's such a small, simple house, but it's a comfortable, beloved part of his life. He can see all of his best memories right from here on the doorway.

Wait, he can see everything from here.

Mother isn't home.

The young sorcerer takes a hesitant step back, but hits his head against the door behind him as it gets promptly slammed shut by a strong force — Wind, telekinesis, who can tell? He stares at the archmage sitting before him in a mixture of awe and fear. She sets the cup of tea down on the table. It's once lively fragrance and hue have both withered away. The elven archmage looks down with an uncannily playful frown and extends her white-gloved palm to the teacup to highlight the change. Her voice doesn't seem really upset. She expected this, after all. "Look at what you've done, you ruined my tea, Sage Berggarten." Of course, there is no more deliberate way to claim ownership over a feat of magic. "Now take a seat, lest I use your toes to close the windows too." As if to claim participation in its her master's efforts, the little pale ferret wraps itself around her head, using its tiny paw to point to its previous seating position.

As Camellia prepares to return home with a basket full of strawberries, they can only watch from the distance as the grasses of the eponymous hill begin to lose their color, this death spreading directly from the village itself. They look down at the basket in their right hand as the strawberries wither and die one after the next. Suddenly, a loud, alien noise akin to the crackling of thunder followed by an intense blast of light.

In a ghastly hill overlooking an out-of-place, desolate desert wasteland, a single dead strawberry falls onto the head of a grey haired teen. They cry out, picking it up and gazing in abject horror, falling to their knees before the small tree that used to keep them company. "W-Why?!" The frail trunk of the tree collapses into a broken mass, which they try desperately to cling to, holding onto any specks of dust left behind. They had lived their entire life in the idyllic village of Autumn's Hill with their brother and mother, wanting nothing but a simple life of peace and quiet.

And now that was all gone.

This is a colourization I did of Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia. Born in 13 September 1892 to German Emperor Wilhelm II and Empress Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein. She was the 7th child and only daughter. In 1913 she married Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick. They had 5 children together. During WWII her and her husband tried to encourage an agreement between the UK and Nazi Germany. After WWII the couple lived in Marienburg Castle till the death of the Ernest Augustus in 30 January 1953. In 1965 The Princess wrote an autobiography about her life. She died in 11 December 1980 and is buried in the Royal plots at Berggarten Mausoleum, Hanover. 

Finktober day 30: herb. This is one of my all-time favorites, Berggarten sage.
