The tropical city of Sen was every bit as beautiful as everyone had always claimed.
Why was it called Sen?
Because Sen meant lotus, and the name was fitting.
Viewed from above, the entire city resembled a lotus blossom resting upon a dark blue sea, with three interconnected islands stretching outward like delicate petals.
Each island had its own name. The first was Luma, the central island was Caya, and the last was Cora Island... the very same place Edith had mentioned.
However, Cora Island was not their immediate destination.
After another half-hour helicopter ride toward Caya Island, they descended onto a private helipad nestled high on a hillside.
Gavriel had piloted the helicopter himself.
Somewhere along the journey, Aliana had looked over and asked him, "Why travel by air for so long when you could simply teleport us there?"
To which Gavriel had quietly answered, "I could, but I did not want to rob you of this experience."
And he was right.
