I lounged back on the plush chaise, idly running my fingers along the intricate embroidery as I gazed out over the deep, shimmering pools of water below.

Mila's palace really was a marvel, all glittering spires and soaring archways that seemed to defy the laws of physics itself, all nestled beneath an enormous mountain. A shimmering mirage carved from the fires that Mila's dragon form provided.

As I sat here now, looking out over the strange pools of water that rippled below one of the many oddities of Mila's palace-I couldn't help but feel oddly content.
