The courtyard was adorned with pathways paved in glimmering stones that radiated their gentle light, casting a soft, enchanting glow upon the ground. These paths lead to a central open space.
An ethereal river-like pond separated the entrance and the central open space. Despite the winter, the pond's water did not freeze. Its waters were crystal clear and cool to the touch.
The nearby fountain was a masterpiece of artistry, with sculpted figures of legendary creatures and divine beasts that seemed to dance and play in the cascading waters. The sound of trickling water created a soothing melody that filled the air.
Across the pond bridge, a shrine caught everyone's attention. The six-winged Goddess statue clasped her hands in prayer, blessing the guests with her divine grace.
