The place Emery arrived in was nothing short of magical. It stood majestically atop the cliffs of a vast waterfall, where torrents of crystalline water cascaded down in an unbroken stream, catching the sunlight and painting rainbows across the sky. It was known that once a year, this very waterfall would reverse its flow, rising toward the heavens and forming the legendary Rainbow River—a celestial pathway that opened a spatial passage to distant planets within the Tartarus system.
Near this magnificent structure lay a quaint settlement known as Rainbow Town. Usually bustling with travelers waiting for the annual event, the town was eerily quiet this time of year, its streets nearly empty, save for a few scattered merchants and local guards patrolling under the watchful eyes of the Pardera Kingdom. Their role was crucial—ensuring that all those who journeyed through the Rainbow River were accounted for.
