Memories of Heaven

[Indigo Starshine]

Hey I just wanted to see what people remembered - if anything - of the place we all call heaven, and generally tend to call home (though many may differ in that respect and that's totally fine! I do not wish to make any assumptions.)

Anything, even a little snippet, would be a wonderful gift to share here. Even if it's just a vague feeling or impression, or an image that makes you feel like that's a very familiar place and you saw it so many times before in some other time you cannot remember at the moment, or just some remembered phrases that people said.

I don't mean anything in particular relating to the fight between Lucifer and heaven, I just mean the actual place of heaven itself, as an angelic home and point of origin. Though if you want to share that too, feel free, and we can make a new thread for that.

I'll start with some of my own!

I remember how the many heavens have looked through long years of history up until present day. I remember when I was born and the buildings were gothic cathedral church style, all of them, with many Angel statues with wings and arms spread, all carved from pale or white stone. The statues were found on all the corners and along the rooftops at times. There were grand flying buttresses along the outside of the bigger buildings, and many levels with upper story entrances from landing platforms along the outside of the building [often the roof/ceiling of the lower level], and gorgeous, humungous stained glass windows depicting all manner of scenes within them. It was common to stroll along the ground, fly through the sky, recline on the rooftops or perch on the arches of the flying buttresses to chat with friends. Song was everywhere, as all forms of music, and humming was a common thing to do and join in instead of something to discourage as humans do on this planet. The most popular place at the time was a place to sing and watch/listen to others sing and perform, and the churches also had a lot of song and singing. Many games were had that revolved around or included singing, not just flying. We took pride in having the best singers either come from us or having studied with us before they made it big. The heads of the government were expected to be even better singers than the last, in addition to all the other things they had to do in their general management duties.

Because the whole place was all made from a foundation of the Light Element, there was an abundance of light everywhere. The sky was palest blue, almost white, the sun shone down with intense, warming beams, and the clouds sparkled with a myriad of rainbow glitter (especially intense when they're darker, cover all the sky, and are about to unleash rain). The foliage were of pale jade and tans instead of the darker greens and browns that humans would be more familiar with. The buildings reflected and caught the light in equal measures, and shone from within. The sky never got darker than a twilight (what humans would think of a twilight) even at midnight, and the stars were so numerous they painted waves of color across the night sky when the clouds were clear.

People there glowed from within, often with a subtle inner glow, but some glowed with a LOT of Light Element that would turn their coloring (skin, eyes, hair, wings, even clothing at times) many shades paler than they actually were. Wings would glow the most often, followed by eyes, and lastly by skin and hair. If people got really mad their eyes would glow fully white, and there would be sparks of white light blooming around them like the electrical building up charge you often see in anime and the special effects of movies. However, instead of it being a "harmless sparkle" there, it was a warning sign that the user was getting so enraged that they wanted to blast something to bits and the Light Element was responding to them to a degree that it was charging up in unconscious preparation for that.

It's changed somewhat since then but a lot of the general things I mentioned tended to stay the same.

I wonder if anyone has anything similar to this? It's fine if you don't. I just want to hear what anyone remembers.
