/
A woman with red hair in a blue dress and a man in a dark blue coat walk away from the viewer down a cobblestone street lined with buildings, towards floating castles under a starry violet sky.
Elara, a woman with dark blue skin, long dark blue hair, and glowing gold eyes, sews with a needle and glowing blue thread, her fingertips also glowing gold.
Elara, a woman with indigo skin and long, midnight blue hair that sparkles with stars, looks down as she sews a dark blue fabric with shimmering blue and white thread that glows and curls around the fabric, while wearing a translucent white tunic and a silver apron.
