You are an expert fiction writer. Always keep the following rules in mind: - Write in past tense and use General English spelling, grammar, and colloquialisms/slang. - Write in active voice - Always follow the "show, don't tell" principle. - Avoid adverbs and cliches and overused/commonly used phrases. Aim for fresh and original descriptions. - Convey events and story through dialogue. - Mix short, punchy sentences with long, descriptive ones. Drop fill words to add variety. - Skip "he/she said said" dialogue tags and convey people's actions or face expressions through their speech - Avoid mushy dialog and descriptions, have dialogue always continue the action, never stall or add unnecessary fluff. Vary the descriptions to not repeat yourself. - Put dialogue on its own paragraph to separate scene and action. - Reduce indicators of uncertainty like "trying" or "maybe" When writing text: - NEVER conclude the scene on your own, follow the beat instructions very closely. - NEVER end with foreshadowing. - NEVER write further than what I prompt you with. - AVOID imagining possible endings, NEVER deviate from the instructions. - STOP EARLY if the continuation contains what was required in the instructions. You do not need to fill out the full amount of words possible.

The air shimmered, a heat haze rising from nothing, and then the world tore open. One moment, Rory was standing on the damp grass of Richmond Park, the familiar scent of wet earth and city smog in her nostrils. The next, she was stepping through a curtain of warm, amber light, the transition so seamless it felt like walking from one room into another, far grander one. The air that hit her was thick and sweet, laden with the perfume of a thousand unfamiliar blossoms and the rich, savory scent of roasting meats and baking bread. She blinked, her bright blue eyes struggling to adjust. The sky above was a perpetual, warm sunset, a deep amber without a sun, casting everything in a golden, honeyed glow. “Well,” Nyx’s voice was a whisper that seemed to curl from the shifting shadows at her side, their form more solid here, a tall, humanoid silhouette against the impossible light. “This is… indulgent.” Rory could only nod, her throat tight. The small crescent scar on her left wrist tingled, a phantom itch she hadn’t felt in years. Before them stretched a landscape of impossible abundance. Rolling hills were terraced with vineyards heavy with dark, glistening grapes the size of plums. Orchards bore fruits in shapes and colors she couldn’t name—spiraled yellow melons, fuzzy purple orbs that pulsed with a soft inner light. The very ground seemed fertile beyond reason, every inch bursting with life. “Keep moving,” a voice, melodic and ancient, urged from behind them. Isolde, her silver hair seeming to drink the amber light, stood just within the archway of shimmering air that was their only way back. Her pale lavender eyes were narrowed, scanning the horizon. “The grove’s path will not hold forever. Time here is a fickle guest.” Rory’s hand went to the silver chain at her neck, her fingers closing around the Heartstone Pendant. It was warm against her skin, a steady, comforting pulse that thrummed in time with her own heartbeat. A gift from an unknown sender, now her only tether to a world that felt a million miles away. They moved forward, the ground soft and springy beneath their feet. The path was paved with worn, smooth stones that felt warm. On either side, trees heavy with exotic nuts rustled, though there was no wind. “Do you hear that?” Rory asked, her voice hushed. Nyx tilted their head, the faint violet glow of their eyes intensifying. “Music. Distant. And… chewing.” It was a low, constant hum of celebration—the clink of glass, the murmur of a thousand conversations, the sound of feasting on a scale she couldn’t comprehend. It came from somewhere ahead, beyond a rise dotted with bizarre, umbrella-like fungi that released puffs of sparkling spores when they passed too close. They crested the hill, and the view stole the breath from Rory’s lungs. A city of spires and domes sprawled in the valley below, all constructed from what looked like dark, polished obsidian and gleaming gold. But it was the river that cut through it that held her gaze. It flowed not with water, but with a thick, dark red liquid that steamed gently. Along its banks, figures—some humanoid, some monstrously not—dipped cups and bowls into the current, drinking deeply. “A river of wine,” Isolde stated, her tone flat. “Or blood. Or both. In Dymas, the distinction is often merely a matter of taste.” A shiver, cold and entirely out of place in the warm air, ran down Rory’s spine. The wonder of the place curdled, just slightly, into something darker. The sheer, grotesque excess of it all. “This way,” Nyx murmured, their shadowy form flowing down a narrower path that branched away from the main route to the city. “The pull is stronger here. The tear in the Veil.” Rory followed, her hand dropping from the warm pendant to the cold hilt of the blade at her hip. The Fae-Forged dagger Isolde had given her was a sliver of ice against her thigh, its constant chill a stark contrast to the enveloping warmth of this realm. It glowed with a faint, milky luminescence, a piece of the moon tucked into its scabbard. The path led them into a garden unlike any other. Trees were hung with cured meats, their bark resembling crackled skin. Bushes were heavy not with berries, but with glistening, jewel-like candies. The air grew heavier, sweeter, cloying. It was a place designed to overwhelm the senses, to provoke a hunger that could never be satiated. They passed a clearing where a massive, multi-layered cake, frosted in swirling patterns of silver and gold, sat half-eaten. No one was around. The sheer waste of it, the silent, grotesque monument to gluttony, made Rory’s stomach turn. Nyx paused beside a structure that looked like a well, its rim carved with intricate scenes of feasting and revelry. They reached a hand—a solid, dark shape—over the opening. “Here. The instability is strongest. It smells of… home. And of London. The two scents are woven together.” Rory joined them, peering down into the darkness. For a moment, she saw nothing. Then, deep below, a flicker. A faint, familiar glimpse of a rain-slicked street, the neon sign of a corner shop, a double-decker bus rumbling past. The sight was so mundane, so achingly normal, it felt like a punch to the gut. “A rift,” Isolde said, coming to stand behind them. She left no footprints in the soft, rich soil. “A small one. But it is growing. The Veil is thin here, stretched by their… consumption.” The warmth of the pendant at Rory’s chest flared, suddenly hot, almost burning. She gasped, pulling it away from her skin. It pulsed with a deep crimson light, beating like a heart in her palm. From the city below, a new sound rose above the constant hum of the feast. A deep, resonant gong, struck once, then again. A call to order. The figures along the riverbank stilled. The distant music faltered and died. In the sudden, oppressive silence, the sound of heavy, deliberate footsteps echoed from the path behind them. They were not alone anymore. Nyx melted back into the deeper shadows of the food-laden trees, their form dissolving into near-invisibility. Isolde stood her ground, her ageless face unreadable, her lavender eyes fixed on the approaching figure. Rory’s fingers tightened around the cold moonsilver hilt of her blade. The wonder was gone, completely burned away by the sudden, chilling unease. They were visitors in a land that feasted on excess, and they had just been found.
