A year ago.
In the northeastern Italian city of Venice, a grand canal traversed the bustling town.
The winding waterways, with waves rippling gently.
The beauty of Venice was unveiled in its entirety, with majestic and splendid architecture, including over a hundred bell towers and churches.
Upon closer inspection, one could find an abundance of Eastern elements. Atop white churches often stood golden auspicious clouds and Mysterious Bird patterns, while angels had transformed from their original bizarre and peculiar shapes to resemble bird-like creatures with wings.
These Winged People featured three eyes, snake tails, and dragon heads among their traits, but the locals were not fazed. For a long time, angels were depicted in all sorts of strange ways.
Faint prayers echoed from within the churches.
