Space Oddity ~ David Bowie
~~~~~~
Background: Gods are an invisible force similar to the ever expanding cosmos whom started all of creation. Similar to now, where people are unsure if they are either one or more god(s). Minor gods are planets. Demigods are stars who fight demons and monster which are the mysteries of the universe and black holes. When stars explode(supernova), that means the demigod die old or normal demigods, if their light faded they create white dwarf, the dwarf star means they had been reborn. It is unsure how demigods are created but it is said that they are the children of the god(s) and the Universe, gifted to roam the epic cosmos. If they form black dwarfs that means they were bad and stuff. Demigods who made a big impact when they die they create white holes which are guardians of the universe and ascend to the god(s). Nebulae are angels(the messengers of the god(s)) and seek to protect the inhabitants of the Universe in all Her greatness. Nymphs and sprites are asteroid fields and planetary rings.
Plot: S.S. Odysseus has been stranded for centuries, frozen in the vastness of space stuck in some sort of crack in the time space continuum, where time is stopped and the members aboard are stuck facing a bunch of crazy crap like . One boy/man named Orpheus aka Pheus, is looking for his wife, Eurydice, he goes to do a bunch if crazy stuff to search for her. And even jumps into a black hole, facing demons alike. Just when he finally gets her, it ends up that the woman whom he thought was his wife was a time remnant and once they escaped some point she ceased to exist. After that hard struggle he ended up being lost in space and exploded into a supernova, his supernova ended up being a beakon and way out for the remaining people on the S.S. Odysseus. They face a Chimera constellation at one point. Almost fall off the end of Universe. Orpheus meets Universe. Orpheus befriends a man who ends up being Apollo, his father. Orpheus plays guitar and is normally the only person who lifts up the spirits of the people aboard the S.S. Odysseus. His voice is said to bring the ever-expanding Universe to a stop. The captain of the S.S. Odysseus is Captain Odysseus, a man in his late thirties who is also searching/hoping to go home to see his wife, Penelope. Orpheus befriends a girl by the name of Echo, she's shy and mute & torn with grief that the person whom she loves, loves himself more than anyone else and Achilles and young man with a high ego and secretly admires the Captain's first mate, Patroclus but unfortunately dies/disappears at one point. Echo is an asteroid belt while Achilles is also a star. The people in the ship where sent because of King Midas who hoped to expand his kingdom in the sky, the people there were sent because of their accomplishments and whatnots. Orpheus was sent because of his musical talents, Achilles' because of his athleticism, and Echo because of her memory capacity. Captain Odysseus was the best captain in all of their Star Cluster, called Midaeum, and known to be able to navigate anywhere at any time.
In the vastness of outer space, in an endless expanse of stars, galaxies, and possibly even universes; there lies a tale as old as time, relieving itself in countless moments in different time periods. It started off at the far reaches of the universe, just where the already existing planes collided with the endless void of oblivion. A large colonary ship, filled with over a thousand demigods, nymphs, and spirits all hand-picked by their glorious leader, the Bright Star as they call him. King Midas. They were picked all based off their specialities and talents. Amongst the chosen, aboard the S.S. Odysseus was the young and musically gifted, Orpheus. A young star adored by most and said to be blessed by the gods with a voice even the Universe was lulled by.
Young Orpheus looked through the window inside his room, admiring the swirls of pink and purple decorating the vastness of space. He couldn't help but wonder if out there amongst the planetary nymphs and asteroid sprites, if his love witnessed the same thing. Out there, he had never felt more alone even amongst thousands of his own. Orpheus was a first generation on the S.S. Odysseus, he was choosen from the young age of eight where all in the Kingdom of Midaeum have heard the name of Orpheus.
They said his voice was as gentle as the Universe' lull. As sweet as any tart. As sonorous as Apollo's lyre. As emotional as the parent who had to let their boy go. And as grieful of the young boy who was taken away from his home. King Midas, 'The Bright Star' had hopes to expand his kingdom, he wished for glory and power as his opponents were expanding their kingdoms faster than he had. He choose out of his loyal citizens the most talented, the smart, the brave, the warriors, the cooks, and of course the breeders.
"Orpheus," A smooth voice purred by the door, the young man turned not surprised by his usual visit by NAME, one of the breeders whom Orpheus always resisted her charm. She walked elegantly into his room, the long white end of her dress dragging against the floor in deep contrast of her dark complexion. She rested against his back, her arms wrapped around his chest and head placed against the crook of his neck. "Dinner will start soon my love."
"I'm not hungry," He replied indifferently, his eyes never moving off the window. She sighed, her warm breath tickling his skin.
