Falling stars streak across the twilight sky with comets and asteroids following in their wake. As the fading sun clashes with the rising moon, dreamy clouds roll across the endless horizon and far above the ancient ruins of the Viridescent Highlands.

From somewhere deep within the mountains, the crystalline waters of the serene river cascade downward throughout the highlands. Across rolling hills and emerald pastures, the land is lush with life and warmth despite the absence of the former inhabitants. Overgrown foliage, vegetation and ambitious, evergreen trees have grown rampant without their landscaping maintenance. Yet, despite the thousands of years that have passed by, the magnificent and grand architecture of a former civilization towers above the land. The tarnished, ivory columns and pillars of former temples, structures and homes portrays a story about the grandeur of better days that have long since passed into memory…

On the outskirts of the city center, there is a soft rustle of noise as the underbrush filled with blooms and florets is pushed aside with every step. For a brief moment, the breeze from the wind rushes past the rose and golden garments of a unknown, young woman. Magical particles drift in the air behind her ethereal movements as she steps forth upon the crest of the hill basked in golden sunlight. Gazing forth and beyond the horizon, she reminiscences about her former home.
