The Kinnefull Garden Series:

Chapter III: Creating the Sun of the Garden... Lightkinne

Cynne worried about her trees: wondered if it was getting enough water and sunlight. Then it hit her, " Kinne, we need a source of warmth like the sun to help my trees grow!" Kinne thought about it for a long while till she came up with the answer: She would use Cynne's warmth, generosity, and her light to create "The Light of Kinne, or Lightkinne"- the Sun of Kinnefull Gardens.

As long as Cynne's kindness was in tact, Lightkinne's brightness was warm and radiant. It shown brilliantly in the light blue sky. Giving Cynnedie's trees the light they needed in order to grow. Lightkinne, when stared at, looked like it had little fairies made from light dancing within the brightness. Kinne explained to Cynne that when the sun is happy it will dance and move to a certain happy rhythm. The fluxuations were sending out good energy vibrations helping the plants, water, and their counterparts remember what it means to be in a good mood.

Halfway understanding Cynne nodded in agreement. Kinne further explained, "It is very important that you try to be as kind, warm, and generous as you can be Cynnedie. No matter what the outside world throws at you: Always try your best to remain calm. This garden is relying on your balanced emotions in order to grow into the world that you will one day watch over."

"Kinne, even though I'm a princess the other kids ignore me, bully me, and do cruel things to me. I do not know when that will happen to me or if it does happen I cannot guarantee what my emotions will be like!!! That isn't fair Kinne!!!"

"You are right Cynnedie. It isn't fair. But now that you and I are together you have to understand that life will not be the same anymore. As a princess, you have inherited me as your birthright. With the acceptance of me you took responsibility of me, for this garden, and most importantly, you took responsibility for keeping your emotions in check. Most people do not have what they call 'Emotional Intelligence' Cynnedie, nor understand just how much their feelings influence their body. This is a test for you to see how well you can manage your 'feelings' without going into critical and destroying myself and the garden that you are building within your heart. Be strong and you will get through this Cynne... it will not be easy but you will learn what is required of you to become the 'Woman who tends this garden'."

Shaken to the core Cynne did her best to focus on the task at hand: Try to control her emotions. The woman who tends the garden??? What was that suppose to mean? Then she asked the only question that perhaps she shouldn't have, "Kinne. What will happen if I cannot control the emotions that are tied in with the Lightkinne?"

For the first time Kinne was silent. Thinking long and hard about what kind of answer to give her without scaring Cynnedie too much. This put Kinne in a precarious situation: As much as she wanted to tell her the truth, Kinne couldn't due to her immature emotions. She frankly wasn't ready to hear that kind of truth without making her emotions go out of whack.

For every good emotion that Kinne pulls from within Cynnedie there is also an opposite emotion that will happen when she is not in a good mood. It is this opposition that keeps the garden from either being all good or all bad. When Cynnedie happens to be feeling the opposite of what was intended to feel the garden takes on a more hostile, dangerous and darker feel to it. The garden itself becomes a destructive force of nature and depending on what emotions Cynne feels, can wipe out anything within her heart- including her memories that Kinne works so hard to keep.

If something were to happen to cause her good hearted nature to go mean and selfish, Lightkinne becomes the harbinger, or bringer of scorching hot fire- "Firewrathkinne" burning down all that resides within the garden. Sometimes there is the associated hot day or days but nothing like the "Sky of Firewrath" where everything was burnt as if a devastating fire rampaged through the garden mixed with a hot burning rain that took a major recreation on both Cynnedie and Kinne to make anew again.

"If you cannot control your emotions Cynne then I will cease to be..."
