Arena Sixty-Two: Enlightenment IV

I stood in a field full of red flowers.

I didn't know what the name of the flower was... But they were very beautiful.

All I could see was the red sea of beauty, extending beyond the horizon.

I crouched down and gently picked a flower from near my feet.

I brought it closer to my nose... and smelled blood.

Immediately, the whole place started reeking of blood. Holding my nose, I looked around.

A red miasma was slowly rising from the flower field, leaving behind black, charred flowers.

The miasma tried to choke me, restricting my movement.

I could feel my heart beating faster and faster as I gasped for air. I closed my eyes in pain as the invisible entity slowly took my life away.

But then... It all stopped. A gentle light enveloped me as I opened my eyes.

Everything around me was barren.

Everything around me was withered.

It was as if I was witnessing pure despair. Pure dread.
