Astrox

This isn't a story, it's just describing my magical world within which most of m stories are based. My word is literally another world. It's called Astrox and is 10 times bigger then the sun in our solar system. It's the only planet in it's solar system. It has 4 rings that are constantly in motion, 137 moons that orbit around it in random patterns but still never seem to crash into each other, and it even has it's own sun which orbits it also and never stops shining. The sun that orbits it is green so that it's light is much dimmer and won't keep anything awake at night. In the areas under the rings it is constantly night time. There are 2 points around the planet where the rings intersect, these are called the shadow sectors and don't get any light whatsoever and completely depend on the planetary energy core at the centre of the planet for light. Despite it's size there are very little cities on Astrox. There are a total of 784 seas and 925 countries with 43 countries in one shadow sector and 57 in the other. Most countries are only small and there are only about 2 major cities in each one. There are colonies and prisons on each of the moons and are very rarely used. Out of all of its 2050 cities there are 200 on all of the moons all together. Because there are so many seas, there is also a lot of beaches,most of which have white sand with the exception of a few which have black sand. The beaches with black sand usually have unsalted waters which causes the sand to be very loosely packed and people usually sink in the sand until they get to their knees which makes these beaches very unpopular. The weather on Astrox can be easily read and weather reports are almost never wrong. When it is summer the sun shines almost everyday, in spring it shines most days and the temperature is warm, in autumn it rains half the time but is still fairly warm, in winter it rains and snows most days  with a brief "lost summer" period in the middle of the season which often makes people forget that its winter. Between the cities and villages there are vast amounts of empty space. These spaces can range anywhere from vast desert to big fields and mountain ranges to steppes or large forests and canyons. There are also many rivers as well as dried up river beds with big cliffs on either side. Most of the things on Astrox can be found on Earth on a much smaller scale, but there are also things that can only be found on Astrox such as floating islands, backwards waterfalls, moving ice and naturally made giant magnetic structures protruding from the soft soil. The most famed landmark on Astrox that has ever reached Earth, is the great Candy Mountain with it's chocolate trees, gummy plants and lemonade rivers. The rain in Astrox is unusually sweet in some places and is often referred to as liquid sugar. In places like candy , mountain, this rain is common and sometimes freezes in the atmosphere, causing skittle rain and powdered cordial snow, this makes candy mountain the largest mine for all things sweet, however, because of it's steepness and jagged peaks, almost no one goes up there because it is too dangerous. The core of the planet is magnetic and provides infinite energy to the whole planet with the exception of the moons, the poles and several floating islands because of their distance from the core. The core, along with the green sun, radiates a mysterious energy which give all being on the planet so-called "magical powers." Some beings on the planet are born with a natural resistance to this radiation and have to undergo a surgical procedure to lower their resistance. Because of this they have to take injections of artificial "magicks" so that they can be equal, however, this is very rare and almost never happens. Astrox is very technologically advanced and has almost no pollution whatsoever. It has long distance teleportation which can take you from one side of the planet to the other in less then half a second and several anti-gravity devices for every being on the planet, this includes anti-gravity chambers and hover-boards. In almost all of the fields in Astrox the air is clean, pure and often smells of fresh herbs such as rosemary and mint. Astrox is also famous for it's vast population of "mythical creatures" this includes: dragons, spirits, griffins, goblins, reapers, ghosts, werewolves, ghouls, imps, pixies, unicorns, unipixies, elves and numerous members of the undead such as vamprinjas, zombies and vampires. Contrary to popular belief, most creatures are peaceful unless provoked, this includes zombies and vampires who are kind and care about other beings feelings. Vampires never feed without permission and when they do they only take enough to satisfy their hunger, they can go for months before needing to feed again. Zombies on the other hand, feed everyday on corpses they find in the wild or that are donated to them by the government. Because of all these creatures, there are almost no humans on this planet that are the same as you would find on Earth, most have mutated in some way, such as growing wings, tails, horns or extra limbs and have magical powers such as telekinesis, flight and transformation. Astrox is large and full of magic, basically, if you can imagine it, it's on Astrox.
