The gondolier gets off first, taking your hand as he guides you back to solid ground. You walk along a narrow stream and pass through a lush grassland. Soon, there's a shallow lagoon in front of you with colorful trails of light dancing just above the surface.
"Welcome to Elysium,"
a heavenly voice says, only adding to this place's ethereal beauty. A blonde, butterfly-winged person stands to your right, their face glowing dimly from the fireflies.

"Here...take this."

MY PRIDE & JOYIn the story I've been working on for the past few years, angels and demons have broken away from their lives under the strict rule of Elysium and Tartarus to form the town of Asphodel and establish a new identity.• Inspired by Christianity, ancient Greek mythology, and high fantasy.• I have a lore guide here (currently a work in progress) that's written from the perspective of the quiet yet attentive Elysian boatman, Leoch.I'm also working on a second story called HEAVEN'S FUTURE, which is about a small group of people who solve missing persons cases related to time travel in the year 3008. The setting is a bit of what our current future could look like, but I don't want to make it a dystopia - the point is to have an escape from the dark corporate future that AI, Amazon, etc. could be heading towards IRL, but I also want it to include some commentary on that. It's largely inspired by the Y2K aesthetic.Mutuals can ask for an invite to my Discord server where I organize my OC thoughts! You can also share your art/writing and chat there :)
