Ender

"The air in Ender was lush with the flavor of sweet herbs and spices. The aroma of flame licked sausage was all around, wafting up in steaming clouds, as Hesh led Wadley through a carved-out passage in the natural rock. Blue skies peeked through the crags above, as crowds of Legomi and Sectoid strolled casually over shaded sandstone streets and hovered in groups around scrumptious pots of boiling stew. Hesh guided him by his wrist, coming to a halt as the corridor widened around the bend. Wad's jaw was fixed open, glued to the scene.
The canyon walls must have been a hundred feet high, and within the rock, carved out hollows served as homes and businesses, some of them sixty or seventy feet off the canyon floor. Spans of iron catwalks spider-webbed above them, providing access to the numerous alcoves and storefronts; each nook welcoming onlookers with brilliant flowing crimson cloth. Great red curtains hung from doors and windows, swaying gently in the tunnel of wind that blew through the canyon like a mellow tune. They proudly displayed an alien sense of pride that Wad knew nothing about, as they were brushed aside, tickling passers-by with a sweet velvet greeting.
Across buildings were jumbles of vibrant green vines, dangling from ducts in the rooftops and drooping down over open windows. Slick moisture trickled down the leaves and slapped against the ground, kicking up an all-to-familiar scent – only it seemed so alive now, so foreign – as if the smell of dust had been teasing him all along. There was music, electric music! Sectoid and Legomi harmonizing together on the same street corner. The sweet melodies echoed off the canyon walls which rose up on all sides – no indication of where the song ended, as it was entirely new to him. The music bobbed and swayed with the steam of boiling stew curling up above them like a protective cloud."
