Altera Gardens

Melissa's feet moved on its own, her eyes fixed on the details of the bridge.

The bridge was wide and spacious, with its railings made from carved wood and stone. The sides weren't boringly straight either. There were some overhangs with seating, so people could take a rest, relax, and look over the river without disrupting traffic. 

Melissa couldn't help but sit on one of these seats. It was a bit curved and comfortable to sit on despite it being stone and wood. She looked behind her to see the lovely river, along with the forests and buildings that abutted it, as if serving as its frame. 

What was most impressive was how long the bridge was. After all, the river was not just a few meters wide! 

"This is amazing, did you guys build this in a few days?" 

"Well, a hundred people worked on this, one of which was an earth-metal elementalist, so it wasn't impossible. The pay and contribution were very generous."

"Amazing…"
