[1792] Celestial Backpacking

Fantasy

Hey ya'll! I've posted the beginning of this story before, people seemed to enjoy it so I continued.

I took the CH1 post down a while back so TL;DR: Erde, the goddess of Earth, is devastated over the self-inflicted extinction of her human creations and subsequent annihilation of all life on Earth. She spends the first chapter moping around in the nuclear slop. She then goes to visit her sister Beohrta, the Sun goddess, for comfort and escape, who then tells her to stop being a depressed slob and spend time with her family.

This is meant to be more character/relationship-focused, so the deities are meant to be pretty human. The voice is more lofty and serious than I normally write (with some cheesy idioms repurposed for space god slang thrown in), lemme know what's garbage and what's good. I'll take any type of feedback, rip it up please!
