New IF: Nephele: The City in The Clouds (Prologue)
View attachment 33322
Summary:
The flute plays, crafty and sweetly. You wake up in the City in the Clouds, alive and without your memories. They say you possess the Astravore. And your hands will stop the Eremition.
You wake up suddenly in a bright, unknown room, with no recollection of who you are or where you come from, your only memory a gentle dream of an ethereal being and confusing words.
Looking outside a window you see a wondrous, downright miraculous thing: an empire built in the clouds, a floating city made of gold, jewels and glittering skyscrapers.
You are in Nephele, the name calling forth something ancient and powerful inside of you.
The people you meet revere you as the descendant of Ysoriel, the comet goddess who birthed this incredible oasis. They say you possess her White Blood, the Astravore, making you the rightful ruler of the City in the Clouds.
Now, you are burdened with an urgent cause: sealing the fate of the mysterious being accused of causing the Eremition, a phenomenon responsible for making the city slowly, but surely, descend into the grounds.
As you assume the mantle of Divine Sovereign, however, you begin to question the veracity of the truths fed to you, as you learn about the existence of cruel, unforgiving Councilors, their puppet ruler and the identity of the one viewed as a criminal by many.
Claim your place as the rightful ruler of Nephele and save your home. On the way, you may even find a Consort to call your own.
