Enceaf Town was bustling with street vendors selling snacks, handicrafts, incense sticks, and joss paper. Tourists were coming and going and the market was thriving with life.
The streets were too crowded for vehicular traffic, forcing Dallyn to park her car under a large pagoda tree at the entrance to the town and then she and Aubree Groove made their way into the busy assembly.
Enceaf Town is the only pathway leading to the Magead Temple. As suggested by the name, the roads connecting the town and the temple were lined with willow trees, which were swaying gracefully in the gentle spring breeze at this moment.
The Magead Temple, with its majestic golden roof, perched atop 999 steps. All pilgrims wishing to pay their respects had to ascend these 999 steps alone as a demonstration of their sincerity, thus earning these stairs the title of Stairway to Blessings.
At this moment, the staircase was thronging with a swarm of people, looking, from afar, like a moving dark cloud.
