The Trans-Siveronian Railroad
Yue
It was finally happening!
Yue was going to see the world!
She bounced with excitement as she sat on her mom's shoulders, mouth agape at the mighty machine that was to take them through the land of snow and ice and to the world beyond.
The train was massive and dark, the unfamiliar lettering of Siveronian script declaring things Yue strained her mind to try and interpret.
Mom said that the train would run from Siveron to some place called the Commonwealth of the Rose, and then they'd take another train across the North Pole!
Yue couldn't wait to get started, especially after her first plane ride to get here. Mom reached up to hand her some Siveron food, which looked like white steamed buns but had whole different flavors from the ones back home.
