CRACK. CRACK. CRACK. SMASH.
The strong breeze splintered the glass, resulting in a few of the panes shattering. The greenhouses were no longer a fortress to defend from the wind and snow. It had been seized.
Were these plants suited to arctic conditions by any chance?
Cris had decided to return to the Greenhouse to check on the plants. The last time he was here, he had collected some leaves to dry for Professor Botros. Back then he had noticed how warm and snug it was inside the Greenhouse and was very surprised to feel incredibly cold when he walked in.
"
Why is so cold in here? The door to the greenhouse is closed" Cris wondered as he walked further in. Then to his dismay he saw the damage. Something had broken through some of the glass panes and now the outside wind was blowing in. Cris knew that he had to do something before the plants in the greenhouse began to freeze up and ultimately die.
It was then he noticed someone else in the Greenhouse with him. Cris strained his eyes to see who it was and then breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was Professor Bentley. She would know what to do, Cris thought to himself as he quickly crossed the greenhouse to get to her.
SPOILER!!: Professor Bentley

So this mornings grudge could only be attributed to the nasty weather. It was relentless...
Quickly hurrying into greenhouse one, her head bowed against the wind, Seren expected to be overcome with a warmth that could only be felt when the wind wasn't at her back. But that didn't come, even after the door was closed.
"What in the..." she muttered, her words lost to the sound of the wind blowing THROUGH her greenhouse.
Her blue eyes darted every which way... left, right, up, down, and a panorama of the greenhouse served to do two things. First, to confirm her worst fear, and second... to break her heart.
"
Professor, the greenhouse.....the plants? Is there something we can do to save them" Cris asked in earnest. If there was anyone who knew what to do...especially when it had anything to do with plants, it would be Professor Bentley.
Yes, she would know what to do. So why wasn't she doing anything?
