Through the Golden Door

"What the hell kind of place is this?" Freya exclaimed as she went through the archway and into Ember. She looked off the balcony at the city below. Skyscrapers climbed through the air as she looked down at the people flying either with fire affinity or the Ryders that Leo had released to the public.

"This is Ember." Will said simply as he walked with Maya to the balcony. "It's a lot more busy since the tournament is today. I haven't seen so many people here since the place was built a year ago."

"This city is only a year old?" Gruter followed the others through the portal. Grandon and Loren's eyes matched the old man's as they gaped at structures they had never seen before. "How can someone erect such structures in only a year?"

"Mostly by a combined effort of water, earth and fire affinity users." Leo's voice rang from below the balcony. The ever present eye of Ember rose in the sky to meet Will's affectionate gaze.
