By the time the buildings of the city could be seen on the horizon Vadya was drenched in sweat and exhausted.  She had done her best to stay on the opposite side of Trent so they wouldn't have any more major run ins, but now and then a rag would fly across the deck and one of them would be hit in the head.  She had finished stowing the gear she had been using and went to the rail of the ship to look out at the city.<br/><br/>It was sprawling and filled with an unimaginable amount of life.  They were close to the shore now, the land green and brown from the grass that was trying to overrule the sand of the desert land.  A deep aquamarine spread out for miles to the west of the city, meeting with the blue of the sky far in the distance.  Inside the city mobiles and carriages could be seen rushing through the cobbled streets.  A myriad of air ships were gliding in and out of the air docks while sea faring ships hung around the cities bay.<br/><br/>Vadya found herself sighing in amazement at the brilliance of it all.  It reminded her of the first time she had seen a city built by the Others, non-elementals.  They were so different, so artificial looking.  Metal shone across a multitude of buildings, decorating their roofs or doors.  She admired what the Others were capable of when they put their minds to it.  For a moment Vadya found herself smiling at the ingenuity of the city.
