Peter Brown lay on the ground, looking at the Black Lotus below his navel, utterly clueless about what was happening.
However, very soon, there was a strange expression in Peter's eyes.
So this was it!
Peter had never imagined such a result, and it filled him with a great sense of surprise.
Some information entered Peter's brain domain, and he began to understand some of what was going on; the Black Lotus had actually become a part of him, a form of his avatar.
This was something Peter hadn't even considered possible.
When Peter first arrived, the Black Lotus was entering a critical phase.
The Black Lotus was in itself just a rare lotus flower, with nothing particularly special about it, but as the Holy Land collapsed and a multitude of seeds scattered in all directions, a seed from the Northern Holy Domain happened to fall upon the Black Lotus.
