The city of Melbourne was built at the base of a rugged mountain and is truly a classic city. Its wonder is matched by the backdrop of snowy mountains which have helped shape the city into what it is today.
The riches these mountains brought were of great importance, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs as the vast majority of buildings mimic the broad slopes and steep peaks of the mountains.
The skyline is crowded with tall skyscrapers and they seem to be reaching higher and higher each year. Trade is at an all-time high in Melbourne and it has attracted a lot of attention. Many new cultures have left their mark not just on the city's cuisine, but also upon the city's identity. What historically was a city of predictability has grown into a large melting pot and it's this that unites the 700 thousand people to this day.
It's this multicultural identity that has truly left its mark. Hundreds of concession stands, take-outs, and bars offer a plethora of culinary choices, and those who feel hungry for something else can enjoy water sports, musea, tours, or one of the many other recreational venues.
In the slum, in an area not many dare to come, Luna appeared and walked toward a certain tavern, she was dressed in a gray robe with a hood covering her head.
Clik~ Clak~
The sound of her high heels could be heard as she sauntered toward this particular tavern and stopped before it.
From the outside, it looks ugly, broken, and horrible. Softwooden planks and huge, stone beams make up most of the building's outer structure.
It was difficult to see through the small, stained glass windows, but the silence from within could be felt outside.
As Luna pushed and entered the tavern through the worn, wooden door, she was welcomed by the tinkle of the doorbell and thick air.
The bartender was coughing into a dirty napkin and made no effort to acknowledge her presence.
Luna frowned under her hood.
It was as disgusting inside as it is on the outside. Rounded, stone beams support the upper floor and the broken fans attached to them. The walls were decorated with sports memorabilia, though it looks like it hasn't been maintained or cleaned for years.
Luna's golden eyes under the hood took everything in, there were eight people including the bartender and their level was around 105, the strongest was closer to the Demigod realm.
''Indeed it is the right place,'' Luna mumbled before removing her hood.
''!"
Everyone present felt a chill down their spine as they recognized Luna.
"9th Tier Holy Magic: Sanctuary"
Luna activated her sanctuary and the next moment this place turned into hell.

In the meantime elsewhere, night had arrived.
In the dark night, one could barely tell where the darkness began and where it ended.
There are silver gems dotting the night sky. The soft glow of the moon also rained down on the imperial city. Like a faint silver sash, the moonlight enveloped the city, particularly a certain house, it was one of Kuina's houses, the one she liked the most.
From the outside, this house looks magnificent. It has been built with white stones and has fire wooden decorations. Large, octagon windows allow enough light to enter the home and have been added to the house in a fairly symmetrical pattern.
The house is equipped with an average kitchen and one small bathroom, it also has a fairly small living room, four bedrooms, a large dining room, a library, and a cozy storage room.
The building is square-shaped. The house is partially surrounded by overgrown wooden overhanging panels on two sides.
The second floor is the same size as the first, which has been built exactly on top of the floor below it. This floor has a slightly different style than the floor below.
The roof is low and triangular and is covered with brown ceramic tiles. Two small chimneys poke out of the center of the roof. Several long, thin windows let in plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.
The house itself is surrounded by grass, a huge tree in the center, and bushes on the borders of the plot.
In the master bedroom was Kuina. The bedroom was just tidy enough to show that she cared about the space and just messy enough to show that she was able to let her creativity roam free. It was her Goldilocks zone, perfect for how she was.
Currently, Kuina was sleeping, she was like a princess in a fairytale waiting for the prince to come wake up.
She was having a dream and in this dream, she was sitting in what seemed to be a meadow. The meadow was a glorious expanse of grass and meadow flowers, grass rustling gently in the breeze. There was a narrow brook flowing through it choked with weeds. Tall water mint with pale lilac flowers, like dozens of tiny bells, was growing at the edge of the brook.
In the near distance stood a little girl, she was dressed in a golden piece princess dress, and the little girl was dancing.
The little girl was like a snapshot of time. she can see her cerulean hair blowing in the spring breeze, her youthful face turned toward the sun. The girl danced, danced like the joy of life within her cannot be tamed. In that one-piece princess dress, she could be anyone, yet no one at the same time.
She had that feeling that to her the little girl was the world itself and without her, she cannot enjoy a simple flower or the rising sun. There was nothing she wouldn't do to keep her safe from harm, but she cannot protect her forever. She can only be there when she falls and stand back while she reaches for the stars.
Yes! She was sure the little girl can, she was her girl after all. She had that sudden feeling and as though to confirm her feeling the little girl turned her head in her direction for the first time since the start, no words can't be used to describe the little girl's beauty, she was like a doll, she had heterochromia eyes, her left eye was golden, strangely this eye remains her of her own and as for her right eye, it was purple a beautiful green eye.
The little girl opened her mouth and said,
''Mom, it's the time to go back, see you soon.''
It was like an electric shock passed through her body, she couldn't talk and finally when she was about to speak everything started melting, becoming blurry and before the little girl disappeared she mumbled something and reading her lips movement she was able to comprehend her words,
In reality Kuina snapped her eyes open, finally after many months she woke up.
