The bridges of myth sometimes are and were forgotten; they sometimes span realities, connecting great distances, a city on the ocean placed on bridges that stretched to the mainland, others connecting islands many lengths away. Imagine a bridge that spans one world with another, from one giant tree to another. In places in the mythical world, there is a place where there are bridges in the many thousands. In other distant places, there are none. How long, what is the limit of the breadth of the bridge, what is the span, and what is the height? A bridge span could be anything the builders desire; imagination is the limit; some bridges are 100 miles (160.9344 kilometers) long, some have been known to be 4000 feet (1,219.2 meters) high, and the impossible can be possible in the mythical world. A bridge resembling a wall of glass across a large body of water, as a wall of glass, it seemed nothing could get through to cross to the other side; amazingly, ships can pass through and pass through the barrier. In an imaginary world, anything could be built. The convention should never be a barrier.
A bridge that spans 500 miles (804.672 kilometers) glistens in the sun; those aren’t the materials; it’s a type of ceramic that lasts millions of years. The materials in this world are made to last almost eons of time. A large bridge has to be maintained. Money and people are needed for bridges that span a long way. The bridges reform themselves, self-repair as if the bridge itself is an organism; other bridges are maintained by armies of workers specializing as maintenance personnel of bridges. There are floating things that are dwellings that flow along the bridge; other people live on the ground. As new technical developments are made, the maintenance technicians rebuild parts of the bridge in time as the bridge changes. Their lives are devoted to the bridge, generation after generation.
What makes bridges important? Are there non-physical connections from one place to another? It’s not just a physical connection; it’s a spiritual one. People on the other side of the span feel a physically non-communicated bond. A bridge creates words of friendship; in fact, starting a bridge that speaks to people was a way to prevent wars from happening.
A bridge with ten decks, some resembling a spiraling and almost S-shape, a subtle shape, others are built from the sea, without a curve or arch, is called the tremendous industrial bridge. Each deck specializing for going in specific directions on the top tier are living place, bellow that there is a place for walking and other decks for vehicles. There’s a bridge that looks like it’s made of light of alabaster; it’s not there, but it is solid, and there it isn’t. What is it? Imagine a bridge that is a causeway that seems part of the mountains with all the things nature; there is a different path, but it looks rustic. These types of bridges, areas of honeycombs connecting causeways between land and mountains, are the most sophisticated thing possible in the mythical world.
