The sun hung low in the sky, painting the world in hues of gold and amber as Ryan, Migi, Jun, and Ignis crested the final hill overlooking Evergreen. The sight that greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking.
Nestled in a lush valley, Evergreen was a tapestry of rustic charm and ethereal beauty.
Quaint cottages with thatched roofs and smoking chimneys dotted the landscape, their walls a mixture of rough-hewn stone and living wood that seemed to have grown into shape rather than been built.
Streets paved with smooth river stones wound between lush gardens bursting with flowers of every imaginable color, some of which pulsed with a soft, otherworldly glow.
Ryan let out a low whistle of appreciation. "Well, I'll be damned," he murmured, a hint of wonder in his voice. "You've outdone yourself, Ignis. This place is... incredible."
Ignis beamed with pride, her silver hair dancing in the gentle breeze.
