The setting sun bathed the city of White Stone, casting magnificent shadows over the pristine white walls, mirroring the fates of the noble.
In the eastern part of the Lake Capital City, on the outskirts of the palace district, there stood a broad mansion with a red roof and white walls, close to the ferry port that led to the east of the capital. Within half a day's distance, one could board a canoe and travel to the city of Texcoco on the eastern shores of Lake Texcoco.
The mansion was rare with its two stories, exceeding the commoner's regulations. Dozens of rooms and halls were neatly arrayed, solemn and imposing. The south-facing residence was spacious and bright, adorned with patterns of obsidian and volcanic rock, which belonged to the master of the house.
