When the bud began to bloom, the Nature Mana that had gathered inside the grotto swelled and pulsed as it was funneled into the blossom, pulling the lush green sepals back one by one to reveal the flower within.
A set of rich, vibrant purple petals blossomed when the sepals fell, revealing a globular flower that released a bitter, yet fragrant scent into the air, whilst a secondary, hidden sweet scent wafted off of the center of the curled petals.
Hundreds of these petals formed a gradient from that dark, royal purple into a strong bloody red in the center, where the petals grew smaller and more compact, creating a beautiful, uniquely colored flower.
A nectar was already beginning to form in the center of its petals, the red gold liquid moistening the petals and threatening to drip down onto the ground.
