Crystalline towers stand proud on the islandic world.

Total, two hours to get there by space boat,

one hour by flight.

It's so far away but it is

the place to be at night,

or during the day,

or the afternoon,

whenever.

Everyone who is anyone goes to this city,

to meet anyone who is anyone.

To find love, or playful fun,

to enjoy the city life away from the mundane countryside.

To shop, to drink, to eat, to watch movies,

to dance, to play, and forget real life for a day.

Amongst the crystalline towers,

you can stand and look up to see,

the universe directly above.

Who needs atmosphere?

Everyone can breathe here.

No need to worry about a single thing,

and the police are trained under the mayor,

who often meets with the princess who reigns,

and owns the city.

But as with every city, comes a bucketful of secrets.

There are places you can go (if you know them,

or know someone who does) to get involved in shady deeds.

There may not be murders, or attempted murders,

but there are thief organizations plenty,

hiding in alleyways and down in dark basements,

or up in dark attics.

They will not hurt the poor,

or torture the weak.

They will,

like Robin Hood,

steal from the rich,

to give to the poor,

or, just take for themselves.

They don't,

take money often,

or much less a precious jewel but,

they take information

that will bring the rich down to

the level of the poor,

teaching the 'money-eaters' valuable lessons.

The police force tries, without success,

to catch these "good criminals".

But not once have they been caught.

Because they are like shadows,

disappearing when daylight touches the city.

Crystalline towers stand proud on the islandic world.

Total, two hours to get there by space boat,

one hour by flight.

While this city basks in fun and happiness,

shadows lurk in every alleyway,

always searching for the next prey.

But still it is the place to be,

any time of the day because,

even the shadows,

are a joy.
