Heaven realm Ôzora

The purifier angel Juliana enjoying herself with a human spirit.


Ôzora is one of the heavenly realms open to any person who died and proved worthy to go to heaven. Usually the souls of the deceased are being collected and brought here where they manifest themselves in new, spiritual bodies in this foreign dimension in their "true" form. Usually the person will keep their appearance they had in life, though sometimes in a younger and/or more beautified form.

Being another plane of existence, Ôzora defies many laws of physics and nature that would apply in other worlds, due to its nature as a divine realm. This is most obvious in the inhabitants:
While the spiritual bodies are given a what we call a physical appearance, they are free of any physical needs. Even for live visitors there is no need to eat or drink, no use for bandages or medicine, because they lack their actual physical body while being here. This is also the reason why the physics of gravity don’t apply. In fact, a spiritual entity is easily able to fly from one island to the other and at the same time able to stand on a island or float above it if they wish to do so. Communication is not a problem either since the spirits directly „speak“ through their mind and thus are not bound by language or volume. A human could easily talk to a dolphin, even though they  would normally have completely different ways of communicating.
However, the true power of the realms magic depends on the spiritual energy of its inhabitants. The more spirits with pure hearts are living here, the greater is the effect of the realm and if there were no inhabitants at all, this realm would be nothing more than an empty dark space, devoid of any life or happiness.

Unlike other realms, Ôzoras plane is not a single entity by itself but instead consists of multiple islands which are floating in the sky high above a layer of clouds, so thick that it is impossible to see through. In fact, the clouds mark the end of this realm and it is impossible to fall through – if one does fall into the clouds, they will behave like soft cushions, not only slowing down and stopping the fall but also prevent one from getting deeper and leaving the realm.
The sky on the other hand doesn’t seem to have an actual border, instead it just gets colder the higher up one gets and the spiritual energy filling the air will fade away. Past the highest clouds a spirit will have a hard time maintaining their form, not to speak of the uncomfortness as the air gets thinner and too cold to comfortably pass through, so no spirit really ever tried to find out what's beyond that natural barrier. However, to the sides one can see little more than the distinctive endless horizon, filled with countless islands.

While this realm has an infinite capacity, the actual number of islands are limited to the amount of beings living in this realm. Every sentient being, be it angel, human or anyone else who has rightfully entered this realm is permitted to call one island their own which is being created by their very own spiritual energy. Due to this, Ôzora literally grows and shrinks with its population where islands appear when a new spirit enters this world or disappear, when its owner fades away, which may be unlikely, but still possible.

The size an individual island depends on the spiritual energy of the being possessing the island. The purer and strong-spirited the soul is, the greater are things they are able to manifest. Because the spiritual energy is not only used to create a floating island but also able to allow one to create almost everything they ever wanted, thus able to create their own personal paradise on their island and they may do with it whatever they please.
Some leave their islands untouched, enjoying to watch nature evolve on its own, others use their
magic to create majestic or even surreal buildings or other structures to call their home.

All Islands share similar plant life, fed by crystal clear spring water. Grass, fruit bearing bushes and trees exist at varying sizes and while some are comparable to the flora on other worlds like earth and felarya, others are gigantic, able to provide shade even for the giant purifier angels.

They are the guardians of heaven and make sure that there are no evil thoughts or crimes being committed. In order to maintain the collective happiness, purifier angels are able to use their magical energy and fight against spirits or physical beings alike. Since being in their very own realm, they can rely on a almost infinite amount of magical supply, making them mighty protectors of this world. The purer and happier the spirits in this realm are, the more powerful the angels are. In order to defeat the evil, purifier angels are able to absorb dark spirits and bodies and purify them within their bodies, thus turning them into good. Rumors tell that those absorbed entities are being turned into nutrience for the purifier angels spirit, thus increasing its own amount of energy as if they actually ate the evildoer. However, the true happenings behind this seem to be kept as a secret by the purifier angels and it is something generally not spoken of.

Purifier angels are also the protectors of the realm against foes from other dimensions. Because it is possible, though unlikely, to access or leave this realm due to dimensional magic. But there are several alterations, because such illegally entering beings are not given a spiritual form beforehand. They may see and even interact with spiritual entities in this realm, but some of the rules of its nature are altered due to their unnatural presence.
First, it is only possible for living beings to enter or leave Ôzora on their own. Spiritual bodies are bound to this place and a spirit who tried to escape this realm would fade away since they can only exist in this realm where their entity is being fed with the energy in the air. Easy said: Once you die and get here, you will never be able to leave again.
Second, living people may profit from the healing effect of the realm and its magical laws, but they are far from immortal and do technically not have the right to be here. If they are not careful, a purifier angel might consider them as intruders and attack them. And while being strong, the realm is not powerful enough to save you from the digestive tract of a purifier angel who decided to „purify“ you.
