Radiant Beauty

She was a flower demon. That was what the boy thought the first time he witnessed her casting a spell with his own eyes. Perhaps she was the most beautiful flower demon of all. In an instant, a shower of pink and white petals fell across the garden. Summoning his courage, he stepped forward and brushed the petals from her hair. Sadly, it didn't last. Even the most beautiful scene was eventually replaced by a wash of blood. She was a demon, so a group of so-called righteous people hunted her down. He watched her slaughter them with his own eyes. Blood sprayed, red droplets spreading until they covered the entire meadow. Summoning his courage, the boy pushed through the crowd and stepped forward. "Master, what if we went back to the Valley of Ruthlessness and lived as we did before? Wouldn't that be all right?" She smiled bitterly. "We can never go back. Leave now, before I hurt you." A love that was never blessed, in the end. Theme:
