(Arpious POV)

The top was above the clouds. Up here, everything was silent, peaceful. A massive grand white building with a large throne room within. It was impressive, exuding an aura of majesty and grandeur that befits its purpose as a symbol of power and authority. The exterior architecture is a testament to the ruler's wealth and influence, designed to command respect and awe from anyone who approaches.

The exterior facade is constructed from the same pristine white marble that characterizes the interior. The marble is meticulously carved and polished to a high sheen, giving the building a regal and timeless appearance. It stands as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the architects and artisans who designed it.

The architectural style is typically neoclassical or reminiscent of grand palaces from various historical periods. The building's facade is adorned with decorative elements such as columns, pilasters, and intricate friezes that tell stories or display symbols of the realm's history and heritage.

lightsnοvεl The main entrance is a massive set of double doors, often made of rich, dark wood and studded with metallic accents. These doors are flanked by statues or sculpted figures representing strength, wisdom, or historical significance, underscoring the importance of the room beyond.

The exterior of the building is well-lit, with strategically placed lanterns, sconces, or even torches that cast a warm, welcoming glow in the evenings, enhancing the building's imposing presence after dark.

Surrounding the throne room, there may be a spacious courtyard, often meticulously landscaped with lush gardens, fountains, and statues. This courtyard provides a sense of serenity and a buffer zone between the ruler's inner sanctum and the outside world. It serves as an impressive space for grand processions, official ceremonies, or gatherings of the nobility.

Depending on the historical period and the ruler's concerns for security, there may be defensive features such as moats, walls, or battlements to protect the structure.

Flags and banners bearing royal or imperial colors and insignia may fly from flagpoles or be displayed prominently, signifying the current ruler's presence within.

The outside of the grand marble throne room is a spectacle of architectural prowess and symbolism. It conveys a sense of power, authority, and history, making a profound statement about the ruler and their realm. The building's exterior is designed to impress and inspire those who approach it, reinforcing the ruler's position as a central figure in the governance of the land.

Upon entering the throne room we witnessed a majestic and opulent space that exudes grandeur and power. As you step through the ornate double doors, you find yourself in a vast chamber designed to impress and intimidate. The room is meticulously crafted with intricate details and materials that speak to a sense of regal authority and luxury.

The walls are adorned with panels of polished white marble, veined with subtle patterns of gray and gold, and tall, narrow windows with heavy, velvet draperies that allow dim, filtered light to seep into the room. These windows provide a view of a lush, meticulously landscaped courtyard, which only adds to the room's sense of serenity and seclusion.

The floor is a seamless expanse of the same gleaming marble as the walls, beautifully polished to a high shine. It reflects the ambient light, giving the room a sense of even more vastness. Intricately woven rugs of deep reds, blues, and gold add warmth and a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic palette.

High above, the ornate ceiling soars, adorned with intricate frescoes and gilded moldings. Massive crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, casting a soft, warm glow throughout the room. The ceiling frescoes depict scenes of historical events, heroic figures, or mythological stories, celebrating the grandeur and legacy of the ruler.

At the far end of the room, upon a raised dais of marble steps, sits the imposing marble throne. It is an extravagant piece of artistry, carved with exquisite detail and adorned with precious stones and gilded accents. The throne is framed by two colossal statues, each depicting a guardian figure or a symbol of the realm's strength and power. The ruler's seat is a plush, cushioned chair of rich, crimson velvet, commanding attention and authority.

Along the sides of the room, massive marble columns reach towards the ceiling, each one meticulously sculpted and supporting the grand weight of the chamber. They are adorned with intricate reliefs and carvings, adding a sense of history and importance to the room.

The room is filled with symbols of power, including banners, tapestries, and heraldic emblems, all woven into the room's design. Luxurious furnishings such as side tables, ornate candelabras, and elegant potted plants are strategically placed to enhance the grandeur of the space.

The large marble throne room is a place where rulers and monarchs hold court, make proclamations, and receive dignitaries and subjects. It is a space that embodies the essence of authority, luxury, and history, where every detail is designed to leave a lasting impression of majesty and power.

Spotted around the room were tall elven guards with a striking presence, blending an air of grace and elegance with a keen sense of vigilance. As guardians of the ruler and the realm, they embody the refined aesthetics and noble heritage of the Elven race, while also demonstrating their unwavering dedication to their duty.

The guards are tall and slender, typical of the Elven race. Their litheness belies their strength and agility, which are honed to perfection through rigorous training.

  The guards are adorned in elaborate uniforms befitting their station. Their attire is typically crafted from fine fabrics, such as silks and velvets, and intricately embroidered with symbols and motifs representing the ruler and the realm. Elaborate cloaks, often in rich forest greens or deep blues, cascade from their shoulders, giving them an almost regal appearance.

In addition to their ceremonial attire, the guards wear exquisitely designed armor that not only provides protection but also adds to their majestic appearance. Elven craftsmanship is evident in the armor's graceful lines, filigree details, and lightweight yet formidable construction.

The guards carry an array of weapons that emphasize precision and finesse. These may include slender, elegantly crafted swords or longbows that are expertly strung and balanced for accuracy. Quivers of arrows are often slung across their backs.

Some guards may carry shields made from materials like enchanted wood or silver. These shields are intricately carved and enchanted with protective spells to enhance their effectiveness.

The Elven guards are known for their silent and watchful presence. They maintain a calm and collected demeanor, seldom speaking unless it is necessary for their duties. Their eyes are sharp and ever-watchful, scanning the surroundings for any potential threats or disturbances. They are trained to react with lightning speed if danger arises. The guards move with a fluid grace that is almost dance-like. Their footsteps are soft and deliberate, and their actions are precise, reflecting the inherent poise and elegance of the Elven race.

The Elven guards are fiercely loyal to the ruler and their realm, and they take their duty to protect the throne and its occupants with utmost seriousness. Their loyalty is unwavering, and they are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the safety and security of their people and their ruler.

In the grand marble throne room, the Elven guards are not only a symbol of protection but also a living embodiment of the rich culture and heritage of the Elven race. Their presence adds an extra layer of majesty to the room and ensures that the ruler's safety is in the hands of the most skilled and devoted protectors.

And then, last but not least, there was the queen. Damn was she beautiful. But before I could fully soak in her radiance, I felt the threatening aura of an angry spouse practically erupt from the also radiant elf beside me.
