A Discworld Mary Sue.
A/N: Hoom, a little fun I thought might be interesting to those who know about the common Mary Sue plague gripping Fanfiction at this very moment. Read on and see canon payback the factor that has caused it's mangled state.
Yes, I know it's a shortish chapter but I just wanted a little introduction to her before I went into her "adventures". Jheejhee.

A terror of terrors has arisen in the night . . .
Something from another dimension not even wizards dare to go . . .
It sat up from its sprawled horizontal position, grumbling displeasure.
It's mouth gabbled at the air silently before it said:
"Ow."

The librarian was swinging happily past the shelves, organizing and reorganising the books and scrolls, seemingly piled in no order whatsoever. He stopped a moment high above the Amphora section and looked down at a figure groaning on the floor, he began to drop down, using his powerful arms to swing him between the bookshelves.
Glancing at his uninvited guest, the primate wondered about the creature's capability to cause harm to his precious books.
He classified it as human and decided to sling it over his shoulders and take it out pf harm's way; humans in his opinion were not the diplomatic and rational type.
Whistling to himself, the orang-a-tang lurched lopsidedly towards the fuzzy grey light at the end of the aisle.
Obviously, he didn't know how lucky he was that the girl slumped over his hairy shoulder was not completely awake.

Ruby opened her eyes slowly to see a wide-eyed old man an inch away from her nose.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Oh, my. I don't think she's from the dungeon dimensions if she screams like that," murmured the man stepping back from the hysterical girl.
The assembled wizards cautiously moved towards the door.
"Perhaps, she would like some time to settle down?" whispered the Bursar.
The wizards moved as one out of the door as the girl sat up, looked at them in silence for a moment, and started to shriek again.
Ridcully turned back to the room that held the girl with the earth-shattering yell, who was as yet unaware of the lack of audience. Gradually, he closed the door and turned the key in the lock and listened for a few minutes until the screaming stopped. But then winced as the girl threw herself at the door once again, yelling for all she was worth.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Lemme outta herrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!" Ruby flung herself at the door, pounding hard with her fists.
*************3 hours later******************
Ruby sat with her back against the door, exhausted. Sighing she rose and walked to the open window and looked out.
Strange, she thought, why didn't I notice this was only a little way off the ground before?
As gracefully as she could, she leapt from the sill . . . and fell.
Tumbling, head over heels in the air, she noted that usual rules of gravity didn't seem to apply to where she was, as she rocketed past a bowl of very surprised looking petunias.
What? But the ground was only . . . she lost the end of that thought as she saw the world rushing up to meet her. She squeezed her eyes shut tight and hoped for a miracle.
*************************************
Rincewind the poor, in-adept wizard of Unseen University was trying to open the door without using the handle . . . just to practice his magic, of course. Nothing to do with the fact that the door didn't have any handle to open it with, of course, he reflected angrily. He was perfectly able to open the door by himself. With magic too. Damn . . .
A bolt of magical energy rebounded off the door and streaked between Rincewind's floating hat and ducked head, landing upon an innocent butterfly beside a novice's bench.
The butterfly grew quite quickly after that, into what was anybody's guess . . .
************************************
For some reason, the world was taking its time letting her fall to her death. She looked to her left and saw a tall, handsome yet impossibly thin young man on a marvellous white horse.
"Will you save me, mighty horseman?" she yelled across.
The man stopped to think a moment, "NO," he answered.
"Will you leave a poor maiden to die upon the wretched earth?" she tried again, desperate.
The man again considered her question, "NO."
"Then save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
The moment ended and all that Ruby saw was a red and white polka-dotted circle and then . . . the world ended.
