Zech liked her well enough for now at least, if she tried to get rid of him he would probably keep coming back. It was all going to work out between the two of them and he knew it, he protected her garden after all. A few flames licked out of his mouth as he breathed while sleeping, and she hoped he wouldn't catch anything on fire. Maybe metal would have been the best idea, but it was too late now for her to change back she figured. Next time she replaced the fence, she would probably do it with metal, just in case. She smiled a little and wondered what she was going to do for now, at least she had some clue, she figured as she worked on the fence, slowly moving down the line. This was going to be the last thing she would do for the day, the fence, and then she would head home for the night.

If anything, she was working too fast, and as she passed by the tree, she almost missed the brilliant gold flower that was growing at the base of it. She smiled a little and reached over to pick it, putting it into her bag before turning back to work. Things were going great for her so far, she kept finding things everywhere, and Zech was still over by the tree as well. Now if only she could get him to let her pick another acorn or two, then things would be great. Giving a little chuckle, she shook her head, it was interesting harvesting animals in the gardens, and it wasn't a normal harvest either, you didn't kill them for their meat. You simply harvested them for their acorns, or flowers, or whatever the case may be. She loved it, and she glanced over at Zech to find one of the acorns was almost big enough to pull, maybe she should try.

Jack reached the corner about the time that Zech woke up and panicked. He wasn't sure where the woman was, and she wondered if he did the same thing whenever she wasn't there in the first place. That would be odd, but not out of the question she supposed. Apparently to him she had rescued him or something, she could certainly see that happening, but she didn't want him to panic if she wasn't there. He finally found her and he jogged over to her before nuzzling her shoulder a little bit. Jack smiled and rubbed his muzzle before turning back to the fence and starting to dig it out again. Things weren't going to go well if she couldn't get this done by the time night fell, and the sun was already starting so sink a little bit. Before long it would be dark, with just a sliver of the moon showing.

He was sure she had left, but when he had found her there was relief. He knew, deep down, that she would wake him up before she left, but that didn't really matter. He was still going to panic no matter what, only when he knew she was gone would he relax a little when he woke up, that was all there was to it. She sighed a little and patted him on the nose again before turning the corner and starting on the last stretch of metal fence there was at the time. Jack just wished things would work out better and all that, but she just didn't know what to do about things. At least the fencing looked good, the tall, white, picket fence surrounding the garden. Of course she had to replace her old fence, but that was fine, that wouldn't take nearly as long as the metal fencing.

She just hoped this would go quickly once she got to the old fence. They were sturdy still, but she wanted them all to look alike for now. Maybe she could build a few things with the old wood and sell them, that might be nice, and she could think of a few people who might buy something like that from her. With Zech watching her like a hawk now, no longer content to just sleep next to her while she worked, she worked on getting the last section of wrought iron fencing out of the ground and put the new fencing in at the moment. Jack slapped her hands together with a smile, she was done with the new plot, now on to the old one, it seemed. She was thrilled, she had gotten quite a bit of work done this day, and while she had a little more to do, she could get it done.

With the sun slowly setting, and Zech watching her carefully, she managed to get to the end of the longest section of fence at the back. She sighed a little and stretched out her shoulders before she turned the corner and started on the last full side she was going to have to replace. At least it looked good, she figured with a little smile as she worked, hoping she would get it done before the end of the day. The sun was already setting though, which wasn't a good sign, but this side wasn't too long and everything. Maybe the next day she would work on a new entryway to the garden, that would be nice, a new arch and gate so they couldn't leave. It was going to be nice, and she hoped it looked as good to everyone else as it was looking to her at this point.

Everything would work out in the end, she figured as she worked along the fence as fast and well as she could, Zech following behind her like a lost puppy. She would get this done and everything would work out, sleep tonight, hopefully no nightmares, and then back to the gardens tomorrow and everything would fall into place. She was trying to think if she would build anything on the new side, but that could wait until she cleaned it up and reseeded it and all that. Jack pushed her hair back and looked around for a moment, thinking she saw a flash of color as she worked, and as she bent over to get a better look, she found a dead, pink flower. It was still pretty and the Pachee Pollen Project still took them, so she might as well pick them up at this point, right? What did she have to lose?

She put the flower into her bag that she dragged along with her and then kept working on the fence for awhile. It was getting darker and darker out as time went on, and she lit a torch to carry around as time went on. She was ready to be done, and she finally reached the last corner of the garden and turned to start digging it up as she had done with the rest of the fence. Honestly she was pretty impressed she had gotten so much done so far in one day, the next day was going to be even longer, she hadn't come out in the morning like she had planned so far. It was fine though, she wasn't sure what to do with things that early, but tomorrow she would be out early in the morning just in case, she wanted to give the animals a good place to live.

The last of the new fence went up and Jack looked around. All around the inside of the perimeter there were the old fence pieces laying around. Some of the animals were playing around on them, and she sighed a little. It was getting too dark for her to handle things safely at this point, so she would take care of all that tomorrow. For now she packed up her things and then paused, glancing down at another little pink flower. A smile crossed her face and she leaned over to pick it up next to Zech, wondering what he would do with it if she let him have it. Probably eat it, most likely, or set it on fire. Jack shrugged and put it into her bag before patting Zech on the muzzle and heading out of the garden. It was time to sleep for awhile, she needed it from all the work she had done.

The next morning Jack was at the garden at sunrise, Zech had been waiting for her and she was surprised to see how big some of the acorns were getting on his tail. Eventually he had to shed them somehow, and she would try to comb the garden to see what was going to happen with the old ones. Jack rubbed his muzzle for a moment and then started to get to work. First she was going to move all the old fence pieces to different piles based on what they were made of, then she would start working on the garden itself, it was the best way to deal with it she figured. Sure she was sore from the day before, but that was alright she thought with a smile as she picked up the first bit of old fence, it was good to be sore after working, it meant your muscles were getting stronger.

Wrought iron fences in one pile, wood would go into another pile, she thought as she moved the fencing around to where she wanted it stacked. Zech stood guard over the piles and wondered why she was doing what she was doing, hopefully it wouldn't mean that she was going to leave again soon, he couldn't bear to think of it! He was becoming quite the loyal Dragon Oak, and Jack could see it no matter what happened. She was pleased with it at least, and wondered what was going to happen when she finally opened up the other half of the garden at this point. Would he have to share his duties or could he handle the extended garden? She shrugged a little and shook her head, it didn't really matter, she would hope he would figure it out eventually and all that. It didn't really matter anyway, things would do what they did.

Zech watched, a little confused, as she stacked the metal bars and the wood beams into two separate piles. He breathed out a small lick of flame, what he always did when he was confused, and she wondered what he was confused about. Sure, it only made sense for him to be confused about this, but still, it was odd to see at the same time. Jack patted him on the muzzle when she was about halfway done, luckily cleaning them up too much less time than replacing them had taken, but she still needed to take her time a bit she figured. She shrugged a little and then figured it was best if she didn't bother with it for awhile, at least she had a little done and if Zech was confused, then he could just watch and figure it out like anyone else might have to do at this point.

Another year had gone by with supplies for her nodes dwindling. While she knew she needed crystals more than anything at the moment, it wouldn't hurt to have more berries as well, she figured. Giving a little sigh, she wondered what she was going to do with things, but for the moment, she needed to focus on harvesting Serf and working on her expanded garden. The old garden was overgrown again and the new garden had never been tamed, so she was up for something interesting today. Jack shared a glance with Serf as she surveyed the garden for a moment and then sighed, she wasn't sure what to do with things right now, and she didn't think she was going to do anything good for this. Pushing a hand through her hair, she grabbed her wheelbarrow and shoved it to the nearest path of bramble, Serf on her heels. At least they were used to each other.

Serf wasn’t sure what was going to happen at the moment, but that was going to be alright at the same time, he wasn’t sure what she wanted from him, it probably had something to do with his berries, but that was going to be hard to figure out at the same time. Well, he figured that was it, but that was alright no matter what. Whatever the point was, she was going to do it no matter what and all that, and it was fine for him at the moment. Pushing her hair back, she pulled on her gloves and started to yank the brambles from her garden’s floor, she didn’t know what was going to happen with the King of the Evergreen, but at the same time things would be alright in the end of it all. She just had to be sure of what was going to happen a little bit, and she hoped that she was going to be fine with it all.
