Feast

William had engraved the teleportation beacon in the Canopy Temple when he first came to this messed up timeline.

So when he, Floral, and Ebony teleported back to Holy Tree City's temple, he happened to witness that terrifying scene.

The dry ground made of withered wood was now covered in greasy, sticky blood and guts. Severed limbs hung from the tree crown that once sheltered them from wind and rain, like ripe fruits on those twisted branches.

The stench of carnage permeated the air, a foul mix of corruption, filth, blood, and fear strong enough to make even the toughest vomit.

William wasn't sure what Floral saw, but she covered her mouth, clutching the magical medium with shaking hands. As for Ebony, he clung to a wooden wall and threw up. William worried he'd spew out his internal organs.

Even after casting Lionheart twice on Ebony, he only stopped him from passing out due to the excessive vomiting.
