Along the coastline, is a kingdom where colourful castles vanish at sunrise. Like dreams, they disintegrate, never to be found in the same place again.

Each sunset, they appear, on the lifeless white sands. High on the tall cliffs, they look out towards a sea so dark it could consume stars, basking in the cool air.

But at dawn, the towering turrets twist and turn. Stone walls blur, distorting as they soften and fall. Courtyards whisper away like phantoms. The castles vanish, melting in the harsh sunrise. Leaking into sand, the colour is the only indication they were really there.
