Imagine, if you will, a world without anything in the way of conflict, a place to go where you could just let the problems of life slide off for a while; something to take the edge off of it all.
I wrote this more or less due to what feels like an ever-increasing amount of stress that has been building up over a long time, some of it regarding FiM as anymore I dread what will happen in the next season/episode rather than looking forward to it, and also for other reasons too.
I felt like I needed an escape from it all, a comforting, calming, almost therapeutic place. I also wondered if it could be helpful to others too.
Enter Alpha Elysium, a worry-free environment that I plan on fleshing out as I go along.
Your point of view is that of someone from Equestria who happened upon a rather strange shop with an equally strange mage inside of it. They offer to take you on a journey to ease your stress for a while. What you do from there is up to you.
Good job.

Even though it really lacks any real conflict what-so-ever?
This actually kind of reminds me of The Stanley Parable. A game without any of the normal elements of a game. In fact as I read the fic, I heard each and every word as narrated by that same narrator in the game.

Ironically that wasn't the voice I thought of the mage in the story using.
Anyway... Thanks for the feedback. The description more or less says what I wanted this story to be (an escape to a pleasant place) but I didn't think that it would draw parallels to The Stanley Parable.
