Death Comes Again by Adam Janus

The warrior stood on a flowered field, the setting sun reflected off millions of bright yellow and blue blossoms as a light breeze caused the high grass to sway rhythmically.

The breeze which blew down off white capped mountains in the distance was cool and refreshing and carried with it the smell of snow and honeysuckle, pine and heather. But too, there was an underlying smell; rotten, like the breath of a carrion eater. The warrior tilted his head back to breath deep, his long red hair flowing out from under an iron, fur lined helm.
