There was a strange alley in Cimmeria. Most that found it were discouraged by the rundown atmosphere but more than few older residents sometimes glimpsed something wondrous inside.
Fine stonework and a profound aura that left even a Sky Realm in awe to experience it. Those glimpses, however, could never be repeated. Guards had often heard reports but when investigated they only found the twisted wooden structures and a feeling of depression just being there.
The higher ups of the Stardust Emporium knew the truth but had no plans to intervene. This secluded area was now even harder to find as tables had been set up in the street and the smell of good food had begun to fill the air.
A little girl was running around following a floating artifact that changed colors as she tried to catch it. It would alter its speed depending on the colors but her peals of laughter made all smile that were there.
