The entrance to the Sanctuary was marked by a celestial archway adorned with symbols of peace and divine serenity. As astral travelers approached, the archway seemed to glow with a soothing luminescent light, welcoming them into the cosmic refuge.

Within the Sanctuary, deep pools of celestial clarity shimmered like liquid stardust. The lakes reflected the celestial patterns of the astral sky, creating a mystical mirror that carried the essence of cosmic wisdom. Travelers could gaze into these pools and feel a profound connection to the truths woven into the fabric of the universe.

The grounds of the Sanctuary were adorned with celestial flora, each blossom radiating with ethereal hues. Divine flowers in bloom painted the landscape with flying colors, creating a spiritual garden that seemed to draw inspiration from the celestial dance of stars.

Majestic angelic trees stood tall within the Sanctuary, their celestial branches reaching toward the astral sky. These divine arboreal beings exuded an aura of astral wisdom, their soft leaves whispering cosmic secrets to those who sought solace beneath their canopy.

Sculpted from astral materials, statues of celestial guardians stood as sentinels throughout the Sanctuary. These immobilized beings, frozen in poses of vigilance, emanated a sense of protection and guidance, inviting travelers to find refuge within their celestial presence.

Harmonic chimes, similar to those encountered on their journey, were strategically placed within the Sanctuary. Their divine melodies resonated through the air, creating an ambient stellar serenade that added to the sense of peace and harmony.

Celestial bridges arched gracefully over astral streams, connecting different areas of the Sanctuary. These pathways served as conduits between celestial realms within the refuge, allowing astral travelers to explore the diverse facets of the cosmic haven.

At the heart of the Sanctuary stood an observatory, a place dedicated to cosmic contemplation. Its celestial domes housed telescopes and complex instruments, inviting astral travelers to gaze into the celestial mysteries of the astral sky and ponder the vastness of the cosmos.

Scattered throughout the Sanctuary were celestial resonance chambers, where travelers could immerse themselves in divine frequencies. These spaces allowed for meditation and introspection, fostering a deep connection with the supernatural energies that permeated the astral realm.

The Sanctuary featured a celestial amphitheater where astral gatherings could take place. This divine venue, surrounded by endless flora, served as a wonderful stage for cosmic performances and marvelous ceremonies, amplifying the sense of celestial unity within the refuge.

There was a big crystal clear dome that covered the entire sanctuary, it looked exactly like a bubble. Luminara watched a small hole rat run towards the dome from the outside of it, and watched as it's body disintegrated under the touch of the dome. 

 "Damn, this place is huge" Horus chirped. 

"We would love to stay" Rain said.

"But we've got work to do" Mist continued, Mist's voice was clear and light, but still commanding and deep, or maybe that was the mask making it sound sightly muffled.

The rest of the Weather Dancers quickly left the sanctuary, returning to the lake. Luminara felt weird here. She felt calm. She wasn't meant to feel calm. She needs to practice, she needs to fight him. She needs to claim vengeance for her mother. She found Aral looking at her, and she seemed worried. 

"I'll lead you guys through a tour, then I'll be leaving you guys to take care of yourselves. As much as I seem carefree I literally run this place, so I hope you'll make it through comfortably once you know where everything is" Clarinet said, taking them all through the garden. "This is the flora garden, with similar memory lakes as you've see before, but don't jump into them because the density of the liquid is too great, you'll be dragged down and will suffocate to death, and none of us want that" Clarinet explained, taking a left towards the observatory.
