Rosenrot (Rose-Red)

'Rosenrot' (Rose-Red)
 
"Upon a narrow cliff that faces the distant mountains is a small flower that will grow nowhere else. Its petals are the color of blood and its scent more exotic than any perfume ever made. I want you to get me this flower."
 
This is what she said to her beloved, and he obeyed her wish. He climbed the narrow cliff to find this red flower and prove his faithfulness. But the winds on the cliff were strong and his footing unsure.
 
Her beloved was found at the base of the cliff, bloodied and broken, clutching a single bloom within his hand.
