The night was as dark as ink, and The Beast Graveyard was located in a desolate place behind the hills of Pyralia, the last resting place for The Phoenix Clan's fallen beasts or sin slaves.
Bodies were carelessly discarded here, left for crows, vultures, and other birds to feast upon, until only a pile of white bones remained, weathered by time to become nourishment for the earth.
Ruby's body was casually thrown here, once beautiful features now ghostly pale and terrifying, full of death.
As night deepened, flocks of crows and vultures flew in from all directions, devouring Ruby's corpse in an instant.
No one noticed that from Ruby's bloody, mangled abdomen rolled five jade-white Phoenix Eggs; the shells were extremely thin, almost transparent, covered in blood and mucus, faintly emitting a red glow from within.
These eggs tumbled into the grass, obscured by dense vegetation, quietly absorbing nature's spiritual energy.
...
Three days were enough for a bloody storm.
