Chapter 42: Sunflower

The Nebula Skimmer angled its descent towards the lush planet Orphion, its hull glinting in the emerald light. As they pierced the atmospheric veil, an expansive vista of the planet unfurled beneath them, a tapestry of verdant forests, rolling hills, and sapphire lakes, all under a sky streaked with hues of lavender and azure.

Nestled amid a valley, cradled by gentle slopes of violet-tipped grass and clusters of trees bearing luminous silver fruits, lay the Luminous Lotus Circle's Order Hall. The hall's architecture was both regal and naturalistic, a harmonious blend of intricate stonework, soaring wooden arches, and walls adorned with luminescent vines. In the heart of the compound, a massive lotus flower made of sparkling crystalline substance caught the sun's rays, scattering a cascade of prismatic light that danced across the verdant landscape.
