Asher returned to the Basin.
The moment his feet touched the ground; he walked straight toward the edge of the lake.
This was the heart of the entire region.
He stepped forward. The surface broke around him as he dove in while being covered in a barrier.
When he reached the bottom, he found the fairy city.
Tiny homes sat nestled between large coral formations that had hardened over time.
The structures were no bigger than a closed fist, but their structure showed careful design.
Domed roofs, narrow towers, even small archways that led from one pod to another.
Every corner of the place was made with purpose, like each fairy had known exactly how much space they needed and refused to waste any more.
A jelly-like shield coated the entire thing. It clung to the coral and pulsed gently, not allowing water to sipped through.
He narrowed his eyes and muttered aloud. "I should take this with me, so they won't have to rebuild from scratch."
