On the morning of New Year's Day, those who rose before the sun were surprised to find the sky seemed bluer than usual—so blue it was turning purple!
This was exceptionally rare weather for Cyan Dragon City in the winter. In particular, the captivating streak of purple on the eastern horizon was many times richer than normal.
Even the great and noble families rose early to witness this unusual sight. Many believed it was a sign of a heaven-sent omen!
"Miss, you have to get up and look! It's so beautiful!" a serving girl from a wealthy household called excitedly outside her mistress's window.
"You silly girl, you're getting more unruly by the day. *Yawn*... I'm so sleepy!" A beautiful young woman, draped in a magnificent fur cloak, emerged lazily from her room. But when she looked up, she was stunned by the astonishing purple in the sky. Her cherry-red lips parted slightly as she stammered, "It really is... so beautiful!"
