Gustodian (Gust-Oh-Dee-Ann)
Gustodian, the city of dreams, it gets the name from the
architecture that was built many years ago, then rebuild in or own, artistic,
modern image. Getting to Gustodian is a long trip, mainly accessible by car by
you can walk, however it would be rude to step in a farmers tilled fields. As you approach the city you can see massive highways made out of
what appears to be dull rainbows, depending on the angle you can see different
colors for example when you are far away from the city you get a glisten of
red on your windscreen, but as you get closer it slowly fade to the color
blue. As you look around you when driving up to the city everywhere is untilled
fields, almost as if they were abandoned, its like a giant has raked a huge
chuck of the earth with an extremely dense rake. You do see the occasional tree
here and there but other than dust and stone there is not really much outside
the city.
When you come up to the city you are approached by these
gates. They could be easily climbable only if you knew where to grab. You see
Gustodian has a very unique way of letting people into the city, you can try
and climb over the gate but it is a puzzle, the fence is so detailed with
pipes, wire, iron, wood, stone and more gems that can be counted. It’s like a puzzle
because if you hold onto one of the wires you will get a nasty electric shock,
almost killing you. The gate looks like a piece of some music paper but with
only the lines, you could probably play a song in your head if you stared at it
for long enough. To the right of the
gate is a small little hut where a man sits and asks for “Proof of Passage”. If
you give him the ‘Proof’ then he will let you through, If you ask for ‘Passage’
then he will merely ask the same question again until you have ‘Proof’ of
Passage’. The gates open making little to no noise apart from a very nice high
pitch humming sound, it is quite pleasant.
As you drive up the ramps on the rainbow highway you are hit
with this spectacular view. One person described it like the ending of ‘Space
Oddesy’ but less scary. You are just hit with so many colors at once and you
actually struggle to keep you eyes on the road because of how beautiful
everything is. You can see towers and skyscrapers that have the characteristic
of clouds but the solidness of huge monoliths, you look at the huge shapes for
long enough and you can make images out of them, like in clouds. There are
sections of the highway that sometimes thin out more than others, if you look
down on the normal road you can see slightly through the floor but in certain
sections you can see clearly through them, almost like polished glass, its
scary but beautiful.
Once you leave the highway you are bared farewell by the
highway with another flash of bright colors as if it is saying goodbye and
this is what you should remember me by. As you enter the underground tunnels
there are pipes everywhere, like mazes that go on for miles, never ending and
extremely advanced. Not a single leak anywhere and there are repair kits
everywhere in case anything happens. When you go to park you can see where you are
meant to go by lights that guide you on the floor. The rooms are almost texture
less but you can make out some colors like purple and blue.
When you come out of the chasms by an elevator you will be
greeted but an almost iconic view. It is seen in postcards from “that” place
and you can see the fabled ‘Wealthy Peacock’ that is told in legends. There is
a podium that appears to be in a fountain that has dried up long ago,
surrounded by odd shaped spouts. You can see this massive peacock in the middle
that is made up entirely of gemstones, purple and green light flicker off this
incredible statue but you can see this peacock almost how it is made due to its transparency. Its made
up of very simple shapes, especially the feathers which are long skinny columns. The only detail on the
statue to the face which you can see has much more detail than the rest of the
statue. As you look around you can see all the buildings are made up of odd shapes
and have a single window that is a long black line. The way the buildings are
facing it is almost as if the city is looking at this statue, its odd to
compare these buildings to living things but you get a sense of royalty from
this area and you really know where you stand in this community without having
even a word said to you.
