In shadows cast by city lights,
Where mundane meets mysterious heights.
In the heart of urban sprawl,
A fantasy world, enchanting all.

Skyscrapers rise like ancient spires,
Concrete jungles with magical fires.
Alleyways whisper secrets old,
Where myths and dreams unfold.

Neon signs hum a mystic tune,
Beneath the silver of the urban moon.
Wizards hide in plain disguise,
In suits and ties, with enchanted ties.

Gargoyles on the buildings perch,
Guardians of the city’s church.
Elves in cafes sip their brews,
In the midst of mortals, they choose.

Goblins in the subway tunnels creep,
Their secrets in the shadows keep.
Fairies dance in abandoned lots,
Their wings aglow with neon thoughts.

Street magicians ply their trade,
With sleight of hand and spells well-laid.
Dragons soar above the skyline high,
Against the backdrop of the urban sky.

Werewolves howl in the midnight air,
Shifting forms with feral flair.
Vampires in penthouses sip red wine,
Their immortality, a tale divine.

“In the Shadows of Steel and Spell,” it’s called,
Reality and magic, in tandem enthralled.
Where the ordinary meets the unknown,
In the heart of the city, magic is sown.
