“I see the world as it is, Dinah, I recommend you do the same. I follow the will of a god, or demigod, but I do not claim to understand him. I pray the day comes when we can comprehend why their actions bring us so much joy on occasions and such pain on others. Until then, we must hold onto faith. Faith that the Ragnaroks will end, faith that our lives are not forfeit.”

"Valora headed for the bar behind which a beautiful young lady—presumably the patron—dried a silver goblet. Unlike most of Nocturna’s citizens, her skin wasn’t pale as the moon, but sun kissed. Her long brown hair fell like a cascade behind her shoulders and her soft pink lips moved gently as she hummed the melody the bard was playing. When the Lightwielder approached and sat on the stool in front of her, the young woman turned to her, her purple eyes lighting up and a wide smile drawing across her face.
“Welcome!” she greeted cheerfully. “My name is Dinah White, what may I serve you?”"

“The Lightwielder looked in said direction, spotting a young man lounging in an alcove surrounded by pillows and flowers from the vines that reached down from the ceiling. In his hands sang the lute that cheered Avyna’s Rest, and Valora herself. Above him, the spirit that had guided her rested, shining like a beacon. The bard was a handsome man with shoulder-length brown hair. A well-kept stubble framed his lips, and his ice blue eyes were crowned with thick black eyelashes. It was undeniable that he was extremely attractive, but there was something more coming from him that made it hard for Valora to turn her eyes away...”

“Kairo made a pause from his speech and licked his sharp fangs, peeking again through the side window of his office, gazing over the fortress that walled the lighthouse, further from the city, on a small island he and his friends used to swim over to when they were kids. That grey-stone construction surrounded by palm trees reminded him of his home city. He was from the Red Clan, born in the Capital City Fuertelibre, in the very bay of La Mediterranea. He would give everything he owned to be at one of its terraces right now, overlooking the sea and the sunset with his guitar in hand. Maybe with some dashing company.”

"Before her, half buried in the snow, slept a colossal hand formed by dried roots, the ancient city of Fenirion now but rubble and ruins on its palm. The Hand of the Goddess, that’s how they called the massive vines Queen Dyana had summoned to lift the entirety of the Capital and hold it on the sky in defiance of the Dame, the false ruler of Fenirion."

"At last, the sound of vapor and mechanisms echoed from behind the island, and forth came a crimson train that seemed to float over the water. A wide smile drew in her lips as she watched in amazement how that unique contraption slithered gracefully across the lake like a ruby snake, making a stop parallel to the docks and opening its doors for her. A spectacle worth every step, she thought as she picked up her bag and jumped into the train."

"The Lightwielder sighed and breathed in the scent of the jasmines from the balcony, brought by a gentle breeze. She enjoyed the chill sensation of cold air when her skin was hot, and the sweet smell was a delicious addition. While her muscles relaxed, Valora lost her gaze on the city. Through the balcony door she could spot the palace, the clock and the threatening silhouette of a huge cathedral, its windows shining red."

"There, atop the hills, Dryandales greeted him with the delicacy and greatness of divinity, with tall spires of marble crowned with crimson and sapphire domes trimmed with gold that loomed like giants over the round buildings that formed the immense city of the elves, surrounded by a stone wall topped with even more gold. Two cascades emerged like a colossal fountain from the left side of the Capital, where the hill became a cliff, falling powerfully over the lake. "
