Chapter 216: The City of Thana - Part 1

~ SASHA ~ 

The forest stopped abruptly directly behind her. Zev kept walking, but Sasha stopped for a moment to take it in.

The City was… beautiful.

Looming stone buildings, mostly single-story, but far taller than any single-story in the human world. Many were open to the air, pillars and walls holding heavy, arched ceilings and all of it, even the doorways, carved in patterns of leaves and branches. And all... growing. Sasha blinked to make sure her eyes didn't deceive her. But no…

Every surface—especially the rooves and window frames—were gray and brown weathered stone, but creeping with real vines, mosses, and small plants that covered so much of the thick stone that fooled the eye so the entire structure began to blend with the forest behind.
