It was scene painted with death and gloom.
Withered trees, wilted flowers, dried corpses of animals such as deers, birds, squirrels, chickens, dogs and others. The ground is covered with black moss and some sludge pits here and there.
The air was putrid and carried the terrible stench of death and rot, what's more is that it wasn't only animals and nature that is dead here, there's also humans. Though compared to the rest, humans might've experienced a far more sinister death.
Bodies strewn all over the ground, pieces of rotting flesh, scattered pieces of limbs, eyes, ears, intestines, organs, and many more. Flayed skin hanging on the branches of trees could be seen, hairs are also scattered on the ground, overall painting a picture of death and decay everywhere.
If the scene they saw outside was that of beauty, then what lies beyond that was the exact opposite.
