Story 12: The Gardener’s Touch

In the quiet town of Fernbrook, an elderly gardener named Tomas receives the bead released by Arvid on the mountain peak. Tomas, who has spent his life cultivating gardens for others, understands that the beauty of nature reflects the beauty of the heart. As he tends to his plants, he places the bead gently among the roots of a blossoming rosebush, believing it will help the flowers grow and bloom with kindness. The roses that bloom are said to have petals that shimmer, as if touched by the light of the bead, spreading warmth to anyone who passes by.
