Still Lily's perspective
---
Well, it was more accurate to say she was high above MOST of the city. Something Apep had neglected to mention, perhaps because he found it self evident, was the entire city was built around the largest mountain Lily had ever seen. The edge of the main city seemed to be each of the compounds. The sheer cliff face of the mountain making it hard to build anything higher. They clearly made an exception for the grand aqueducts though.
Ten absolutely monstrous aqueducts seemed to explode out from near the top of the mountain. Each one wider than a house and heading straight downwards, taking no twists or turns until they were out of city. Because that was another thing. Not only was Lily still climbing to the level of the summit, the city itself was too large for her eyes to see the edges of it. Only the sheer size of the aqueducts made them possible to follow at all.
