F R A U D

(A/N) Ok so fraud is one of the one's I didn't do but I wanted to put in the cover! ^^

Also here is the prompt:

 It's a hot summer night, you don't struggle to fall asleep and the images of a dream quickly take shape in your mind. You are on a precipice and all around there are moats. You can count ten in total, albeit with difficulty because you are also in the dark. There are rocky cliffs you can walk on, but that one you have to overcome has collapsed.

You can't go back, you can't wake up, you can't help but walk forward.

Just as you wonder if you will spend all the time of your dream there helpless, you hear a voice behind you.

"You know, I can give you what you want, but everything has a price.~"

You turn around and see illuminated by a dim light coming from no one knows where a creature is holding a flower for you: a Digitalis.

You remember a Italian legend about that creature called Maskinganna known as the master of deception. But you are good at this too.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

1) Digitalis in floriography means "falsehood" and it's a very toxic flower.

2) Maskinganna literally "master of deception", he was a legendary character of Sardinian folklore who enjoyed making fun of the people who slept making them awake terrified. His appearance was that of a sylvan devil but sometimes he took on the appearance of a baby who cried or sometimes of a beautiful boy (or girl), who appeared for a moment and disappeared immediately afterwards. In truth, it was nothing more than the popular explanation for the phenomena of optical and acoustic illusion for which he was held responsible.

3) The rocky cliff that the protagonist faces is the one rising above the sixth moat, which collapsed due to the earthquake after the death of Christ.

With all those elements, you have max 1500 words to show us what is happening.
