## Blood Palette

there is that hint of peppermint that all Oblivion users have in my mind, that utter coldness of the void but it's different than Jax. It is a little thicker, like a good heavy syrup, something that lays heavy on the tongue and isn't for everyone. Powerful too, it fills you with the strength of ages, like your favorite beverage after a long day of work---nothing that you would guzzle or take in excess but something just to sip and calm your nerves. Refined, heady, with the scent of fresh tilled earth under a baking sun
