The reason for this remains a mystery to this day.
Most of the earth was destroyed in the war. What was left was rebuilt into scattered islands on a sea of clouds
The clouds are actually a heavier than air gas that is all that remains of most of the old Earth
The dog travels these gas seas, fightan crimes with his lightning eyes. Seeking the severed cyborg head of his lost love
His nemesis is a hideous half spacefrog/half gorilla who used to be his best friend
They met in basic training. Before… THE WAR
The war against the Terrible Space Frogs. Which, as previously stated, didn’t actually look like frogs. And were really kinda cute
Part of the dog’s brain was removed to give him is lightning eye powers, and he no longer remembers his name. Only his lost love. He seeks her in the hope she can unlock the secrets of his distant past.
When the Gypsy Gollems found him after… THE WAR. The War against the Terrible Space Frogs. They nursed his broken body and gave him the name… ERASMO Elvert
…THE WAR. The War against the Terrible Space Frogs. Lasted for one hundred years. The lightning dog soldiers, that were Earth’s best defense against the Terrible Space Frogs, where given hideously extended lives thanks to dark magics
Erasmo’s terrible nemesis SANTO Kieck, seeks to destroy the great engines that maintain the cloud sea and keep it from dissipating. The last of the Terrible Space Frogs are bound within these engines, powering them. Santo desires to free his former masters.
The engines are all but indestructible The severed cybernetic head of Erasmo’s lost love, Zulema Bulwinkle, holds the only key.
Also, Erasmo’s current worst nemesis, former best friend, Santo, used to be a lightning eye shooty dog too. So the whole half spacefrog/half gorilla thing is just super weird.
throwback to when the βobelisksβ from my story were way more complicated and eldritch/non-Euclidean, before I eventually changed them to be more monolithic - like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey - which I felt was a lot more mysterious and unsettling
I did keep some of those eldritch aspects though, particularly in the spine-like tendrils protruding from the base of the structures π
