The Garden of Eternal Blossoms
Angering a god takes guts, skill, and a pinch of curiosity. Such transcendent beings are quite tolerant of mortal antics, though in the case of Persephone, the Goddess of Flowers, she's got quite the temper. Angering her would mean eternal damnation and suffering. One day a young man called Leo, came upon Persephone's secret garden. Without knowing he had stepped into a god's domain, he decided to observe and smell the beautiful flowers of the garden. Upon finding out that someone had trespassed into her garden, Persephone was furious, deeming the garden as filthy and tainted because of a mortal's touch. She cursed Leo, making it so he would forever die and be reborn until every flower in her garden withered, an eye for an eye, a life for a flower. To the Leo of today, that was a long time ago, having had lived an epiphany of lives and was now on the final flower, a crystal rose with 18 petals, 18 years to his final life. All flowers must wither, even this curse, after all, even the most beautiful or retched flowers eventually all wither.
