Flowers and Devotion

You are an agens of the goddess of death. In your childhood you used to be of an elite noble class, the Corona Elevatus, but your father betrayed the Corona, resulting in the death of your family save for you and your mother.

The death of your mother and a horrifying creature has driven you out of a town that harbored you for years; Now you are invited by the gods to speak to them, and hear their words.

This is book two of an unknown amount of books within the series, the first book being All Things Terrible and Beautiful. This is an IF in perpetual development, with basis in a DND campaign I once ran and wish to turn into a text for a general audience to enjoy. The country of Theras and the adventure you go on is completely of my own creation, and the length of the story is undetermined.

My goal is to complete this book, but we shall see to that end. This game was created using Twine, specifically in the Chapbook format; meaning that while this can be played on mobile, this story does not have a manual save button, this game autosaves in the background to your browser.

This story has elements of horror, both grotesque and potentially existential, and is loaded with angst. Therefore this story is not for those under the age of 18, and I suggest you read the TW list thoroughly to ensure you are not triggered by what can be found in game. This is not an encompassing list and is subject to change as the content changes and the story progresses. I will do my best to update once a chapter is completed.

TW list:

** Swearing and other adult language

** Violence

** Blood, gore, descriptions of violence

** Injury, sometimes severe/life-threatening to the MC 

** Optional sexual content (explicitly detailed)

** Nudity

** Touching without specific consent (this work is not written with specific touch-aversions in mind)

** Death (human: unnatural and accidental)

** Depression/Anxiety/Panic

** Nightmares

** Disparaging thoughts

** Substance use and references/use of alcohol 

**References to child death

**Mentions of war and associated trauma

Features:

Several LGBTQ+ ROs, most of which are in a godly nature, predominately playersexual but they are not defined by you to that extent. Furthermore most of the cast is gender queer and somewhat masculine presenting. These romances are not mandatory, and instead could be strong friendships; I hope to add QPR functionality as well, but that is a work in progress.

MC physical traits that are very versatile, as well as personality traits that will impact how you interact with others as well as treat yourself.

A story that will vary in genre but primarily will focus on horror and angst. I like happy endings in spite of this, so I will provide such a choice, but you still get to choose how things end.

The ROs:

The Unnamed God (heretofore referred to as TUG): An individual who can be shaped by your choices, you will find that TUG is friendly and affable in the beginning of the story. Whether you adore such traits or avoid them is up to you. TUG is 5'5" and their features are unknown to you for now.... In the end, they are are a prominent source for the horror elements of the game.

Dawn (she/her): Dawn is the only mortal besides you involved in this adventure, something you can potentially bond over whilst she plays her viol for you. She is the safer choice, so to speak, as a romance partner due to her relatively normal nature. So far she has proven herself to be capable, and it's up to you to see how capable she truly is.

Flor (he/they): Flor is the god of flowers, kindness, devotion, and children. Flor is also a traitor to your country, though most of the people have forgiven him for his transgressions, there is still the air of awkwardness that comes with his involvement in the story. Flor is the gentlest lover when you need him to be, or the most fanatical.
