Through the rear garden of the Half-Elf Palace, a clear stream gently flowed.
This was a man-made tributary of the Crystal River.
The Crystal River's main stream was actually a distance away from Silver Moon City, but how could the Half-Elf Clansmen let their "Mother River" bypass their royal capital?
Thus, the stream was artificially diverted into Silver Moon City, right into the backyard of the royal palace.
The river banks were planted with two rows of towering Phoenix Trees, now drenched in autumn gold. The half-withered leaves fell into the river in swirling eddies, drifting away with the current.
The rainbow-hued Phoenix forest masked the ash-gray stone walls of the palace, portraying an ethereal scene of the autumn season.
The afternoon sun was warm and pleasant. Colin laid lazily, supporting his head with both hands, on a slope covered in evergreen grass.
