Sky Sanctuary

A giant whale carries a pagoda and a blossoming tree through a sea of clouds, while a baby whale swims beneath it.

Annesh had painted a small cloud above a bird and needed 223 pixels to save it. Three painters answered in the very same minute. Another painter, watching from the sidelines, timed it and called it a dead heat. Someone suggested penalties. Someone else offered to take the pixels and settle it that way. Annesh read the messages again and ruled that Imerida had typed first. The cloud floated into place.
