The thorny brambles were abloom with blue roses, fragile petals scattered sporadically amidst the black thorns. The profusion of spikes, finer than hair, was unsettling, despite the roses' extraordinary beauty.
This was a dimly lit forest, where the soil and plants all bore an ominous black hue. The black brambles, like invaders of this land, repelled anything that came near.
Swinging arms stirred the verdant life, the breeze carrying a sweet scent. With each step by the elf, new shoots sprouted from the ground. Emerald hues protected this lady as she moved towards the patch of black brambles. Her delicate skin was to meet thorns as stiff as steel nails, and the thought of those dexterous hands being cut elicited a sense of guilt.
