A Family Friend

Gandora passed through the space between the heavenly realms with minor intrigue in her glowing red eyes.

Traveling between these different planes wasn't as uncomfortable as her mate, Bayle, had told her it was.

The experience was a bit like pushing your fingers through layers of plastic wrap.

Leave it to her mate to overly dramatize the experience…

After around 45 minutes of flight, Gandora passed through a rather strong barrier to arrive at an entirely new land.

The High Plane of Heaven, also known as Takamagahara is the domain of the Shinto deities and is akin to their Mt. Olympus.

Gandora landed on a great golden bridge connecting the heavens to the earth.

With powerful strides, her legs bounded across the shining structure; traveling farther and farther than the eye could see.

Miles and miles ahead on the bridge, there is only one figure standing between outsiders and the High Plane of Heaven.
