With every breath you take, something crackles within your throat. A spark of energy that is so shocking at the first experience of it, it makes you jump. Electricity lies in the air and you can literally breath it in, feeling it's energy rushing through you.
You look behind you. A crystal clear waterfall, with it's sparkling water crashing into the plunge pool below. The only difference being that the water looks more like rosé wine, an unnatural hue of pink for natural water.
You look up to see the top of this waterfall, only to find it lost to the clouds that cling to the cliffs. Whether it carries on beyond the clouds, you do not yet know.
The cliffs seem to sparkle too, though as you look closer, you see the glowing colours of many flowers. Their colours reach into your mind and the voices chatter away in your head, clashing and crashing around in your mind. Listening to one voice is no use, for as you listen to another, the words of the previous fade away and you cannot recall them.
When you can finally tear your gaze away from the waterfall and it's surroundings, you might care to notice that a few feet either side of you, the land you're standing on ends. Edging closer to the end, you peer over to see only swirling smoke below. Where the fall would lead you, you do not know – probably best not to try and find out either. It could end badly. The longer you stare down at the clouds, the more you'll want to investigate what is below. Look away, it's for your own good.
Turn around so that you're looking opposite to the waterfall, you'll be quite surprised with what you see. Don't gasp too deeply though, the electricity might hurt a bit.
A grand looking city is surrounded with swirling cloud, its thick torrents moving round the city in a clockwise direction as if guarding the city with its motion. Just peeking over the top of the moving clouds, you can see the red torrents of a building... by the number of scarlet roofs, you guess that you're looking at the top of a castle. What kind of city surrounds it, you cannot see, thanks to the wall of cloud. You blink, and no longer are the torrents red, but they are gold.
How that is possible, you have no idea... but when you try and change their colour again, instead the cloud has risen, blocking the torrents from your view.
Disappointed by the sudden disappearance of the amazing looking top of the castle, you're suddenly interested by the rickety looking rope bridge.
It doesn't look particularly safe to use, but you're drawn closer to it. As you get closer to the bridge, you notice flashes of magenta and purple. They burst through the cloud and disappear back beneath it's fluffy surface. Watch closer, and you'll see magnificent birds, with delicate bodies and heads, and large outstretched wings and a long flowing tail of feathers behind it. Watch it dive in and out of the clouds just like a dolphin would in water.
As it crashes into the cloud, small little parts of the cloud break away, fluffy debris floating upward into the sky, carried along by a gentle breeze. Follow it's trail upwards, and you may care to notice that you can see the stars in the sky. It's pure daylight, but the stars shine much brighter, and you can still see them during the day.
You try to imagine them at night, but you simply cannot make up what it may look like. Maybe there's not even a star in the sky at night... who knows?
It's too wild to comprehend.
What if I told you this world was real?
Of course, you'd say I was crazy.
Well, one human girl didn't. She visited this place often. Not once though, did she question how this place worked. She did not ask why. She explored, learning quickly about how this world worked, falling in love with this place. She walked with its people, given a new name by the friends she had made in this world.
When she was pretty much accepted as one of the people of this world, she decided that it was time for someone else to experience the thrill and excitement of this new world. She was going to share her discovery with the one person she thought she could trust.
She lead her brother away from home, teasing him away from the place he knew, leading him to the place where she discovered this new world.
He demanded she came back home, she beckoned him closer to the doorway into her world. She knew him well, pressing all the right buttons to make him follow. She lead him under the pool of one waterfall, to rise in the soft pink water of the other side.
Now it's time for her to show her brother somewhere new. Somewhere exciting.
She lead him to Aurora.
How he'll react to this place, nobody knows.
How others will react to him is pretty unpredictable either. Not everyone likes newcomers.
Whatever happens, this boy fails to pass the final test, and cannot get through the thick wall of cloud.
He falls beneath the fog below, into a world that his sister has never even explored before. Into Aurora's Underworld.
He needs to find his sister, to return to the city above. How he'll get up there though, is what we'll be finding out.
Note:
This whole roleplay is based in a larger than life world. Because a great imagination is needed, your profiles need to show imagination. If they do not, you will be asked to rework them.
Even though this world is not real, there are no powers in it. Power does however come with knowledge. Knowledge of this world and how it works will bring you the power you need.
That does not mean you automatically know everything about the world...
Also, you cannot age in this world. Beware though, if you leave this world, the years you spent there will pile back on when you leave. Leaving could cause your death, providing you've stayed in this place long enough.
The longer you stay in this world, the stranger your appearance gets. Imagination is key.
The role of the brother is taken.
Rules
Be Imaginative. (:
Literacy is a must. Your profiles will be the first impression of your writing skill. The better your profile, the better you're making yourself look.
Two characters max.
Both myself and Waste are in control here, pay attention to what we both say!
We'd like at least a paragraph to each post, thank you.
We might add more, so watch this space.
Waste’s Note
You may be wondering how in hell the creatures in this world, meaning the one the brother falls into, managed to get there. Well each one did much the same as the brother.
They saw the waterfall, the sparkling flowers, the city and they tried to cross the bridge but for whatever reason they failed this crossing and fell. Some of them are quite happy in this over place, it is set out very much like any other world with forests, fields, cities, not as glamorous as the one in the intro, and societies that are sometimes extremely twisted into ways that some humans may not be able to comprehend.
