A breathtaking beauty in both the day and the night, these expansive gardens trail all the way to the edge of the floating city and out, long vines of flowers trailing in the air and waving to all that fly near it. In full daylight, the flowers bloom in bright colors and are perused by a variety of dark colored butterflies. At night, it is the opposite - the gardeners have managed to intersperse day time flowers and night time flowers. In the dark, pale luminescent flowers bloom, haunted by butterflies and moths that only come out after dark. It's a hauntingly beautiful place to be. A maze is at the centre of the garden - high walls built of thick shrubbery, it's certainly entertaining to find your way in and out.

The faint laughter of people mixed with the sounds of water cascading through the fountains and servers skirted through the many groups of well-dressed people. The sun is on it's way down, leaving the gardens in a twilight.
Off in the farthest corner of the gardens, a faint chink could be heard if anyone was listening over the music, the laughter and the water. Faint grunts and swearing could be heard over the wall as Arthur hauled himself over one of the high walls with the aide of a rope. Quickly looking around to see if anyone could see him, and incredibly pleased to see that there wasn't anyone at all in the vicinity, he hauled himself up over the wall, hopped down onto the earth and casually wiped the sweat from his brow with a silk handkerchief.
With another tug on the rope, it came loose and he stowed it away inside a decorative bush for later if the need be. Shrugging his shoulders into a calm, assertive stance, he headed in the direction of the sound and began to mingle with the party.
