Alex slowly opened his eyes and saw the rays of sun hitting him in the eyes. It was early in the morning, and the sun had just come up of the horizon.
He looked in front of him and saw a massive cityscape in front of him. He was high in the air, so he could see everything clearly.
Surrounded by giant mountain ranges was a massive city, at least 4 times as large as the scarlet city itself. Alex saw the tall buildings all over the city with a central area that was a massive open space with a single castle in the center.
Most of the houses were painted red, so the whole city had a red aesthetic.
"The Cardinal City?" Alex thought. Only then did he realize that the ship had stopped moving. He looked to the left and saw a few more ships approaching the city and stopped just as far as they had as well.
