The soft shutter sound of Albedo's phone echoed faintly against the coral balcony as he lowered it from his face.
The newest photograph appeared on the screen, Atlantis glowing beneath the twilight currents like a dream carved from living sapphire.
For a moment, he simply studied the image. Even the camera struggled to capture the full majesty of the city.
Still… it was close enough and Albedo Gwen would love it and would definitely print the photo out and get it framed.
Once he was done with that, he tossed the phone back into a spacial storage, and continued to look around.
Below them, the twilight currents continued to deepen as the distant sun above the ocean surface began its slow descent toward evening.
Shafts of golden light pierced through the vast blue waters, refracting into thousands of shimmering rays that scattered across the coral towers of Atlantis.
The entire city was beginning to glow.
