Field of the Fallen
Sunlight danced softly across the frost-crusted fields, making the little blades of grass sparkle like emeralds. The faraway chirrup of a songbird was the only disruption to the quiet of the morning.

The heavy stench of decay hung in that mist, punctuation by the sharp tang of freshly spilled blood.
