Chapter 5

Beauty to Lophiel... is Lophiel. His image is the manifestation of perfection.
This, of course, does not mean that Lophiel can not find beauty outside of
himself. It instead, means what Lophiel will see as beautiful must be twisted,
and dark.

Why Lophiel is attracted to the darker side of beauty isn't fully known or
understood, even to himself. It's always been this way, and he doesn't
question it. In his travels he came across a Dark Muse... the "perfect" being
to inspire Lophiel to create his own visions of beauty.

Like a single flower, growing on a bloody battlefield, the gruesome corpses
scattered about bring beauty to the flower, as the flower brings beauty to
them.
