The Trial Of The Ghost Empress Part 2
Ghostly trees and flowers filled Angelica's eyes. This was the realm of the dead. Not a single thing could be considered alive here, but for those living here, the concept of being alive was a foreign idea. In the realm of the dead that had the river of reincarnation running through it, the ghostly entities that lived here called this place their home, could not be considered dead if you looked at things from their perspective.
That was because the realm of the dead was their home, the place where they lived. Although it could be said to not be the friendliest of places as the souls that lived here also had to be careful. It was a custom for stronger souls to devour smaller souls to grow even stronger. But the act of soul-devouring also caused some to lose their mind and become monsters who lived to feed off souls.
