A Simple Tale

The City of Angels is an odd place. It’s called that because it was said to have been founded by people with wings, who mysteriously disappeared only 5 years after everything was set in place. For another thing, it’s made up of multiple floating islands. There are at least 15 of them, some are large and are major hubs for the city, others are smaller and are more like mini villages than part of a city. Air balloons powered by crystals provide transportation between the islands. The balloons themselves are very colorful, as are most things in the city. Colors like black and white are seen like bad luck on their own, and even worse luck when paired together. Many of the smaller islands are temples dedicated to the supposed founders, with floating lights to represent the islands, and statues of the angels, the creators. Most things in the city are powered by crystals. Crystals for power, levitation crystals to lift the balloons. 




The City of Angels. It’s a wondrous place, isn’t it? Floating islands, high up in the clouds. Sadi to be founded by people with wings. Hence the name. It’s a rather rainy place, but that doesn’t stop the residents from being cheerful. They carry colorufl umbrellas, and strong lights hang above the streets. Mosaics in every color under the sun adorn the streets and sidewalks, and even though clouds crowd the sky, it doesn’t stop people from moving about. Hot air balloons take people from island to island, their colorful balloons powered by levitation crystals. The biggest island is the main part of the city. The wealthiest part. The king’s palace is there, towering above the other buildings. There are mansions on the inside, shops on the outside. It’s bustling, but still lovely. The second biggest island is almost directly under the main island. This is the workers district, where the generator is located. It powers the city, and there are many other businesses and such under here. Some factories, but mostly offices, homes for working class families. Still cheerful, still colorful. Many of the smaller islands are more like ther own towns than part of the city. Houses for families, more space. Feels more homily, more welcoming. Some of theses islands are also estates for the wealthiest of those in the city. It’s a place for escape, and it’s all theirs. The smallest of islands are temples. Dedicated to the winges founders of this haven, this city. They are beautiful, with floating lights to represent the islands, and statues of those who supposedly were here before all of us. So that is the City of Angels. Our city. A beautiful city.
