Somewhere in the streets of the capital, two young women strolled down an alleyway, their lively conversation echoing off the narrow brick walls.
"Did you see the new dress at Madam Fiora's?" one of the women, a brunette with sparkling green eyes, asked excitedly. As she tried to explain with her hands.
"I did! It's absolutely gorgeous," the other woman, a brown with freckles dotting her cheeks, replied, her eyes bright with enthusiasm.
"If only I could afford it..."
The brunette nodded sympathetically, her expression softening.
"Maybe we could save up together? We could wear it to the next festival!"
Their laughter filled the air, mixing with the distant sounds of the busy city. As they continued their little chat, a sudden flash of light interrupted their conversation.
They both turned to see a swirling purple portal opening beside them.
