Floor 1, Water Citadel

 Guarded by two heavy doors of the veranda, it is nicknamed the water citadel due to its ceiling which is of heavy glass chambers filled with water; the roof creates a fun ripple effect onto the room below. It is called a citadel for unknown reasons; it's more like a fake mausoleum and museum. It has three iron statues in the center: one of god Titan, naked, and grasping onto the world as if it's heavy and he might be in danger of dropping it, the second statue is of a male Gith in futuristic clothing holding onto an orb in one hand and pointing up to the skies with the other, and the third is of a man fighting with a flying octopus, it appears to be trying to engulf his face with its desperate tentacles. The statues and whatever they depict is a mystery. There are many confusing interstellar paintings on the wall too, not portraits but painted directly onto the walls. There are six narrow slit windows facing the front and side of the grounds each accompanied with a cannon. There are three tombs set in the wall. Wild moss now grows out of the stone floor. It seems that the room is abandoned, and why Azzur had it built the way it is is perplexing.

You must force the doors open, it's as if they were closed years ago and never touched again. The water roof surprises you, it's most impressive though. The statues are bit confusing and when you look into the tombs set in an alcove of its own in the wall, you're stunned not to see human remains, but a skeleton made out of stone. Skeletons carved of stone in these strange vaults? And the skull of one has some strange helmet on of anything you've ever seen before in your life. The black helmet is bulbous with a dark glass rounded visor. To anyone of the future, perhaps, this mask makes more sense but to someone of medieval standards it's just creepy and ludicrous. What does it all mean exactly? Grass and moss and mold have taken over the room so the smell isn't' overly pleasant. There are six cannons by a window, which would be stuck into the window and fired at anyone invading the grounds during a siege perhaps. The sunlight tickles the waters above and it kinda looks like the roof has a blue hue to it, like the waters of a tropical island. The bizarre room raises many questions but no one can answer them unfortunately. You go back to the veranda and take a seat by some leafy plants, and now that you've seen a majority of floor one, you wonder what the second level hides? On to the next...
