Across the Shades of Reality

In a world where the grass, the homes, and the skies were all shades of pink, there stood a splendid city ruled by women. They were the ones who made all decisions, big and small. The city's leader was a woman named Seraphina, who wore a cloak as rose as her surroundings. One sunny day, Seraphina discovered that the Pink Crystal, the source of their world's color, was fading.
