Victor was accused of crimes he did not commit, betrayed by the people he held dearest, and brought up before a rigged court of his peers. The noble and kind man who always fought for truth and justice was sentenced to death by decapitation.
Victor stands on the platform, his hands bound behind his back and his head held high. Despite the injustice of the situation, he refuses to show fear or weakness. He knows that he is innocent of the crimes for which he has been sentenced to die, but he also knows that no one will listen to the truth. The world has turned against him, and he is alone.
The executioner raises his sword, and for a moment, time seems to stand still. Victor looks out at the cheering crowd and feels a deep sense of sorrow. How could they rejoice at the death of an innocent man? How could they be so blinded by their own hatred and prejudice?
As Victor's life fades, he feels his soul being pulled into a dark abyss. He struggles against the darkness, but it is too strong, and he is eventually overcome.

Blue energy forms a gentle pool in a mountainside as it condenses a white orb forms inside and the whole puddle slides into a flower filled field, a blue flower near the center of the field greedily drinks up the pool and orb as they sink into the ground.

“Where am I? For that matter, who am I?” A glowing blue flower wonders to itself.
“I can’t *see* or hear anything, but I can smell everything, I know that I’m blue and I'm surrounded by things a lot like me in a huge variety of colors, and the sweet fragrance of flowers, it’s incredibly comforting. I guess I can worry about who, what and where later,”
As a flower, Victor has lost all memory of his past life as a human. He exists in a state of peaceful, almost dreamlike serenity, surrounded by a field of other glowing flowers. The world around him is filled with the soft light of the flowers and the gentle rustling of the breeze.
Victor's experiences are very different from those he had as a human. He is no longer able to move or speak, and he is dependent on the sun and the soil for his sustenance. However, he is also able to sense and observe the world around him in ways that he never could before.
One of the first things that Victor notices as a flower is the intensity of the colors and scents around him. The world is a riot of color and fragrance, and he is overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. He also notices the subtle changes in the light and the temperature as the day passes, and he is fascinated by the way that the other flowers respond to these changes.
Another thing that Victor notices as a flower is the interconnectedness of all living things. He can sense the presence of other beings, from the smallest insects to the largest animals, and he can feel the way that their actions and emotions affect the world around them. This awareness gives him a deep appreciation for the complexity and beauty of life, and it helps him to understand the role that he plays in the larger picture.

Despite the challenges and limitations of his new form, Victor finds that being a flower has its own rewards and pleasures. He is able to connect with the world in a way that he never could before, and he is filled with a sense of wonder and awe at the mysteries of the universe.
Weeks pass with Victor knowing no more then the bliss of the field until something changes, the field seems to hold its breath as the wind dies and a stillness falls upon the life that victor can feel, “Something is here, no, someone is here,” The blue flower thought “I don’t know how I know but I’m sure of it!”
Victor feels the presence move around the field, his fellow flowers almost reaching out to the stranger, after a short while there was a vibrant rise in the ambient energy of the field as if someone had just charged the entire area with a thousand years of life. After a few hours pass the energy begins to fade and Victor finds he is now able to track the strangers movements through the network of life.
Victor is drawn to the stranger, and he follows them as they wander through the field. He cannot shake the feeling that the stranger is not to be trusted. Who are they, and what do they want? Victor does not know, but he is determined to find out.
After some time the stranger vanishes from victor’s senses leaving him to ponder recent events. Despite the beauty of his surroundings, Victor cannot shake the feeling that there is something missing. He knows that he is not like the other flowers, and he is filled with a sense of curiosity and longing. He wonders how he can observe the world around him, and how he can learn more about the mysterious stranger who wanders through the field.
As he ponders these questions, Victor begins to experiment with his new form. He focuses his energy and attention on the world beyond the field, and he is surprised to find that he can sense the presence of other beings and events. He is still unable to see or hear directly, but he can feel the emotions and intentions of those around him.
He pieces together that his field is high up in elevation based of the fear of falling he feels from passing animals the word mountain comes to mind, the mysterious stranger arrives once every fourteen days and from reading the surface emotions of them Victor learns the he meditates when the energy builds up, he wonders if there is correlation there. Victor gets the sense that this meditation is very important so the next time the stranger comes he joins in with meditating.
As Victor and the stranger meditate together, the levels of energy in the field begin to rise. The air becomes charged with a sense of power and possibility, and the flowers in the field seem to shimmer and dance in response. Victor can feel the energy flowing through him, and he is filled with a sense of peace and serenity.
The stranger looks at Victor for a moment, and then they turn and walk away, leaving him to ponder the encounter and its significance. Victor is left with more questions than answers, but he is determined to learn more about the stranger and their role in the world around him.
“Hmm why did he look at me?... Wait, I was able to see him! I can see, I can see!” The blue flower thought in triumph.
The mysterious stranger chuckled before vanishing in a burst of light
As the sun rises, the field of glowing flowers is bathed in golden light, and the mystery of the stranger's arrival and departure is revealed. It becomes clear that the field is not like any place on Earth, but is instead situated atop a mountain that seems to be out of a different world entirely.
The mountain is vast and imposing, its jagged peaks piercing the sky and its slopes covered in dense forests and fields of flowers. It is a place of great beauty and power, and it seems to possess a sense of magic and otherworldly energy.
