Alpha's Regret After I Died
As I approached the pedestal, the image of her charred, lifeless form filled my mind, and my chest tightened with grief.
A single tear slid down my cheek as I reached out, “I pray you understand, my sister. I pray for your forgiveness.”
My fingers brushed the petals.
It was the most beautiful and pure thing in this world. Its soft golden glow shimmered with the pulse of life itself, its petals as perfect as the morning sun and the midnight stars all woven together.
And its power…
The air pulsed with it.
The energy of the flower was stronger than anything else in this world, and I felt it in every inch of me as I lifted it carefully from the pedestal, cradling it in both hands.
