The Astral Palace (5)

As the trio entered the ballroom, a subtle melody seemed to echo through the air, although no visible musicians played. Shadows pirouetted and twirled in time with this ethereal tune, creating a dance that transcended the boundaries of the corporeal and the mystical. The ambiance was both enchanting and mysterious, a testament to the magical allure woven into the very fabric of the ballroom.

Elaborate chandeliers suspended from the ceiling cast a dim, atmospheric glow over the ballroom. The crystals embedded in the chandeliers refracted the light in myriad directions, creating patterns of radiance that danced across the polished floor. The subtle illumination added to the enchantment of the space, where every corner seemed to hold a secret waiting to be discovered.
