The Capital City of Neptune was a sight to behold, grand and breathtaking – a very magical underwater city on a super scale.
Right in the heart of the city was a magnificent, glittering crystal palace. It was as if someone had placed a mountain of crystals there. The carvings on it were a work of art, its craftmanship remarkable.
That was the Neptune Emperor's palace.
With the crystal palace in the center, the Imperial City extended itself in all directions.
All around the city, you could see houses in the form of giant seashells and conches with colorful coral-decorated doors and windows. Instead of tiles, the roofs were dotted with pearls that glimmered like stars. It was like stepping into a fairytale world, an absolutely enchanting experience.
The streets were covered in a soft, fine white sand of which many of the merpeople traversed.
