Purity in the Indigo City

There's a place in the Indigo city where three buildings meet in a diamond shape, the fourth quarter open.  The narrow paths run along the waterways, down this empty corner, to a hidden place where the buildings meet.  Taliesin waits there.

There's a circular space in the hidden corner.  Taliesin walks on dark, emerald green grass, waiting for Elizet.  There is a statue here too, Purity, a maiden glancing coyly.

The citizens of the Indigo city rarely reach the statue.  As they get closer, the waterway between the paths narrows, and they are able to skip across.

The sun has not yet set, and high above her, Taliesin can see a circle of sky between the buildings.  When the sun sets, the moonstones set in the walls will glow in the darkness.  When they shine, Taliesin won't see the high walls of the buildings any more; only the open space of darkness, lit by tiny lights.  There is a galaxy here, if one cares to look for it.
