The icy landscape stretched as far as the eye could see, a expanse of glimmering white broken only by jagged, frozen peaks.

Nestled amongst the frigid terrain was - a city arising. Towering cranes swung through the crisp air, hoisting steel beams and panels of glass to the skeletons of skyscrapers in progress. Though unfinished, the sheer scale of the buildings-to-be was staggering, destined to dominate the skyline when completed.

Surrounding the construction hub was a lawn of emerald grass, impossibly vibrant against the greyscale backdrop of concrete and steel. The lively blue of the grass matched the cloudless sky overhead. Scattered throughout the lush grass were frosted fountains, their waters sparkling as they caught the bright sunlight.
