Stroph slowly rose and looked up at the thousands of purple lilies. He quickly realized what had happened while he slept. He focused all his attention on the scene before him.
About thirty seconds after the last drop of blood fell from the ice crystal, the lilies began to fade. With each passing second, the wilted flowers became more and more numerous. The process was going from the outer side to the center.
It didn't take long for each of the lilies to lose their vitality. Immediately afterward, the tree also began to wither. The roots where the blood had been permanently flowing before, became similar to lifeless pieces of wood. A little more and they would fall apart into a multitude of pieces.
Crack.
At the end of the scene, the pink ice crystal cracked and shattered. It was the end of this strange place, and sure proof that the barrier before the cave was destroyed.
