A Quiet Resting Place: Part 8

Morning mist still clung to the fern canopy when I returned to the damp garden earth. Beside the delicate green tip that had emerged overnight, the soil was soft and undisturbed. From my pouch, I drew the slender green-barrelled cylinder—smooth, cool, and balanced in my palm. With deliberate care, I parted a narrow furrow in the mulch just inches from the new growth. I set the metal piece into the hollow, resting it level against the roots waiting beneath. My fingers swept the dark soil back into place, smoothing the surface until the hollow disappeared. I stayed kneeling in the quiet shade, letting the earth settle in silence. #Ashokahtano #Ashokatano(peridea) #StarWars #ActionFigures
