It was by no means an ugly planet: The deserts shone brilliantly under the light of our sun; vapour billowed from the ground across the land, scintillating in pale rainbow colours; fumaroles dotted the landscape like eyes, and around them grew glittering fields of crystal, some of a rich yellow-gold, others like ruby when they caught the light, the caverns from which the fumes escaped like the center-dots of vast fire blossoms; or the mouths of the many silver mines gleaming with countless crytsals of a mirror sheen; at night, blue ghost flames danced in the distance.
