A Palace Made of Blood

The dazzling, blood-red palace was beautiful in a way that seemed almost enchanting. As one of the rulers on the Dark Plane, the Bright Blood King had a taste for the bizarre. She enjoyed collecting many things that appeared meaningless but held terrifying secrets upon closer examination.

Her most famous collections were the Bright Blood Flowers, which looked like blood-red tea roses. Similar to dried flowers in the mortal world, they could last for a long time, and they hung upside down around the beautiful crystal dome of the hellish palace. They were a constant reminder to those who had made contracts with demons that a terrible fate awaited them.

It was like walking into a fancy store run by loan sharks. The lavish decorations suggested that they had plenty of money, but the finer things often came from the bones of people who could not pay their debts. They served as a warning to those who tried to work with or betray darkness.
