The ebb of the tide glistened serenely, bathing under the bright rays of the sun. Water surged towards the shores of this river, desperately attempting to invade the land, only to be drawn back into the sea.
A number of sea-side flowers displayed their beauty with pride: The burgundy marshy Hibiscus bloomed warmly and welcoming, while the sinister Virgins Bower coiled itself around a small boulder, in serpentine fashion, and flashed its petals. Also present were the orange-yellow flowers of Jewelweed and many others. One might find it hard to believe that on the other side of this engaging natural setting, laid the battle-ravaged land touted as the Bloody Mist.
