The Bloom of Ash

Story

The cycle of the “Fall” was never meant to end in cold ash. The scorched earth of the fallen temples, enriched by the gold tears of the saints and the dissolved blueprints of the Architect, became something new: a divine compost.

In the deepest silence, where the stone was most black and the soot most thick, a vibration began to push upward. It wasn’t the return of the old world, but the birth of a new, more resilient one. From the soot of fallen temples sprout flowers of fire.These are not flowers of petals and nectar; they are flowers of plasma and persistence. They feed on the decay of the past.

They are the physical manifestation of Creation reborn through decay. They prove that the Architect didn’t just “unmake” the world to leave it empty—he unmade it to clear the way for a garden that could never be extinguished. To see a flower of fire is to know that the “End” was just the soil for a more brilliant “Beginning.”
