The celestial realm; an abode of eternal rest, earned by those who lived virtuous lives. As such it was shaped to be a fantasy like paradise, filled with a multitude of different biomes. From flourishing, green pastures to infinitely deep oceans; that housed all forms of mythical beasts and plants. However, for the last 16 years there were none who were allowed passage into this paradise; that however changed a few days ago when the gates of perfections were opened once again to the masses.

"There is no doubt in my mind that my parents are a part of those who made it." Zephyr said confidently as he and left the manor.

Circuitel nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the chances are high. And I have just the trinket for the job of finding them amongst the hundreds of thousands that have arrived," he declared with unmatched pride in his intellect.

For hours they soared through the vast expanse of the heavenly realm, the landscape unfolding itself beneath them. From flourishing pastures as far as the eye could see, to infinite oceans teeming with life in all its wondrous forms. Majestic mountains pierced the sky, their snow-capped peaks glistening in the radiant light of divine energy.

It almost felt as if the entire heavenly realm consisted of one planet, but that couldn't be true.

"So, what world would they be on?" Zephyr asked impatiently.

"Oh, no there is only one world, it's not even a sphere as your familiar with, but an infinite flat plane" The angel said nonchalantly.

"Wait, so there are no stars, planets, galaxies?" Zephyr asked baffled.

"Well, there are stars for each biome."

"How come there hasn't been a single night since I got here?" I questioned him to pass the time.

"Due to the sheer size of this realm, it takes eons for them to complete a full revolution around the world from top to bottom." He responded.

"So flat earth basically."

"Yeah, pretty much."

After that there was a short-lived silence.

"It feels like we've been flying forever." Zephyr groaned; his voice tinged with impatience as they continued their search.

Circuitel nodded in agreement, his wings flapping majestically as they traversed the endless expanse of the skies.

"Indeed, time loses its meaning in this boundless realm."

Suddenly, Circuitel came to a halt, hovering mid-air as he surveyed the landscape below. Zephyr followed suit; his curiosity piqued. Below them lay a vibrant green, meadow, its grasses swaying gently in the breeze while humanoid souls wandering in it.

"So, where are we exactly?" Zephyr inquired, his gaze sweeping over the serene landscape.

"This spot is a pretty popular destination for humanoid souls upon their arrival in the celestial realm." Circuitel explained.

"It may prove to be a fruitful place to begin our search." Circuitel said as he revealed a crystal ball kept away in his pocket, its surface shimmering with divine light.

"This should help pinpoint their exact location," he explained, handing the orb to Zephyr.

"Simply focus your thoughts on those you seek, and the crystal will guide us to them."

Taking the crystal in hand, Zephyr closed his eyes, his mind filled with thoughts of his mother. With a silent wish, he released his thoughts into the item, trusting in the magic of the crystal to lead him home.
