Chapter 27 - Back to Veridia

The evening in Solara was nothing short of mesmerizing. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the golden sands took on a fiery glow, casting long shadows over the oasis city. The cool night air carried the scent of blooming jasmine and citrus, a stark contrast to the scorching heat of the day. Lanterns lined the streets, illuminating the intricate sandstone buildings with a warm, amber light. Music drifted from the central square, where performers entertained a gathered crowd with traditional dances and melodies played on stringed instruments.
