Four-hundred Roses
This flower was once a rose that could have been tiny and beautiful. But now, the blood it holds gives off a cruel smell. Drinking and growing giant, it sucked in blood that overflowed from a spring. Without an end. It greedily gobbles up the stream of blood with its branched roots.
Choices
The spring was blocked so that it can't drink the overflowing blood. However, it's an unfair action for the rose. The rose wasn't responsible for causing the spring to overflow. It simply took root here because it liked blood. Now that the source of its favorite thing is gone, it will try to take our blood.

When the spring's entryway was broken, the blood that must've belonged to someone in the past flows like a waterfall and onto the rose. As if overjoyed, the rose waves its roots and lies in the pool of blood. Like that, the rose drooped low and sank into blood. At the center, a small flower bloomed. Could this be its reward? We carefully picked it up.
What is the nature of the blood that fills the spring? Who - or what - is it from? Instead of feeding it that mysterious blood, I decide to feed it blood of the Sinners. The bloodsteeped rose extends its petals, yearning for our blood nevertheless. The rose drinks the blood of the Sinners, and a smaller flower blossoms next to the base of its stem. Perhaps it is giving us a gift in return for our blood. I carefully pick up the flower.
