Every tansy in the garden holds a memory. Some bloom with joy from past festivals, others with despair. The one closest to him remains unopened, untouched, because it holds a memory he fears to ever feel again." "He walked away from everyone and closed himself off. After the betrayal, the world became too loud for him to bear. He believed the wind whispered lies and the rivers mocked him with mirrored memories. The stars, the very ones he once gave lovers to wish upon, felt cold and indifferent. So he locked himself in the garden, to be a forgotten place away from the grasp of prayers and time, where no shrine could reach him, no god could trespass and betray him again.. After the betrayal, the flowers now grow differently. Still beautiful, but sadder: Gold petals tinted with red veins, vines that twist not to embrace anymore, but to protect. He sacrificed his most cherished memory: a single, golden moment of pure, untainted love, and bled it into the soil which bloomed the 'First Guard'. It wove a veil/ward around the garden, one that only those burdened by heartbreak, betrayal, or longing could ever pass through. The garden does not open or be found easily. It only sings to the broken, and opens for those who share Tanzarel's pain." "The god who betrayed him snuck into his garden and made him fall in love with them. Tanzarel fell deeply in love, and when the god offered a gift: a crown of black tansys, Tanzarel accepted. But the crown was cursed; it poisoned his powers so they turned against him and pulled the gold colour from his hair, making him a shell of his former self. The god gave no explanation or reason, but left Tanzarel heartbroken and bereft." "Tanzarel hasn't received an offering since the betrayal, but has sealed many heartbroken memories for those who have found his garden in the centuries since." "Tanzarel used to have long, wavy golden hair and gold lines beneath his eyes before the betrayal and before the god poisoned his powers. The colour leeched from his skin the second he put the crown of black tansys on his head,d and the length fell off in long strands, leaving his hair now pure white and jaw-length."
