Before them, the city gates slowly opened, revealing the rebuilt Holy Glory City, which was far more magnificent than before.
The first thing you see is a huge wishing well, with a statue of a beautiful woman holding a large umbrella standing on it. Under the bright sun, birds perch on the statue, chirping and twittering.

She came up with a good idea.
