"How is it even possible for a city to exist up there, among the clouds?" Maleek's voice was filled with awe as he voiced his wonderment, his eyes wide with admiration for the colossal feat of engineering before him.
Hao Gio, walking beside him, chuckled softly, her own breath visible in the biting cold.
