The golden rays of the morning sun bathed the horizon as Zephryon's massive wings cut through the skies. Kaelen and the others stood on its broad back, gazing ahead as the grand expanse of Valoria Kingdom came into view.
Kaelen's breath hitched as the kingdom revealed itself in all its splendor. The outer regions were dotted with sprawling farmland, rivers shimmering like molten silver as they snaked through emerald plains. Villages and towns flourished in perfect harmony with the land, their thatched roofs and cobblestone streets bustling with activity even from such a distance.
Beyond the outer regions, the inner city came into view, surrounded by towering, pristine white walls etched with golden engravings that gleamed under the sunlight. Within, tall spires and domed buildings of immaculate marble stretched skyward, their grandeur nearly overwhelming. Intricately designed bridges spanned crystalline waterways that wove through the city like veins of light.
