A floating citadel drifts in a twilight sky, surrounded by a ring of broken asteroids that orbit slowly and silently, as though caught in an eternal dance. The citadel itself is an impossible structure, its towers twisting and bending like they were shaped by the wind, their surfaces covered in a substance that shifts between stone, metal, and liquid as light strikes it. Around the base of the citadel are vast gardens filled with flowers that emit soft, melodic hums and trees with silver bark that seem to ripple like water. At the highest point of the citadel is a massive clock with no hands, its face marked by strange runes that glow faintly and shift positions when unobserved. Inside the citadel, the halls are vast and empty, lined with towering statues of cloaked figures, each holding an object—an hourglass, a key, a sword—that glows with a faint inner light. The air inside smells faintly of ozone and rain, and distant echoes of footsteps can be heard, though no one is visible. In the heart of the citadel lies a chamber filled with floating spheres of light, each one containing a frozen moment in time—scenes of battles, celebrations, and moments of solitude. In the center of the chamber is a throne carved from a single block of translucent crystal, and on it sits a figure wrapped in flowing robes of pure shadow, its head tilted as if watching the swirling skies beyond.
