Flowers of Heaven: sensitIV

[idolpro]

Something nudges at your ankles.

When you look down, you see you’re being headbutted by… a number of fluffy white, red-eyed rabbits that, unsettlingly, seem to have small human hands for front paws. They're doing their best to herd you toward an arched doorway that has opened in the thick brambles and leads to a winding path beyond.

Once you cross through, a gate closes behind you, and the voices of your fellow idols fade from your ears. It seems as if you’re on your own, now.

❀ ❀ ❀

Here, the brambles that surround your path have bits of torn lace caught in their thorns. Some of the fabric is splattered with what appears to be fresh blood.

It seems that the rabbits are carrying some things for you: a collection of sixteen different flowers, a small lantern of blue flame, and a wreath woven from gorse, Star of Bethlehem flowers, and water lilies.

Re: PRE-ENDGAME

[forgottenmercy]

...I think I, ah, belong more in the black gate. [because, you know, whatever he is, it's a corruption of a Solar Exalt.] ...and I do not, ah, want to let Noah go by himself, when everyone else is, ah...

[that's honesty, so that's another low gasp of pain.]

Re: PRE-ENDGAME

[sancrimony]

[ gently, pushing him in that direction ]

Then, please.

Re: PRE-ENDGAME

[forgottenmercy]

Are people splitting up...?

[ Worried. ]

I am on fire, so... this gate seems like the most natural. But--

[ Is everyone going to be okay ]

We can only go where we must.

This doesn't make us any less family.

If you are sure, I hope you are right, little brother.
