Adventures of John: Parallels

by John The Adventurer

Throughout many of my adventures, I have been confronted with the threat of a powerful spell, one that I myself even used. This spell created rifts in the universe, bridging the gap between realities. This spell has threatened the universe three times so far, and each time I was barely able to stop it. I destroyed the spell, but I fear the day that someone finds that spell again.

Adventures of John: Parallels

Introduction: The Spell

My name is John the Adventurer. Not really. But in order to protect my identity, I usually refer to myself as such. Our world, our reality, is not the only one there is. There are an infinite number of planes of existence beyond our own, realms of myth and magic filled with all manner of beasts and creatures. There are those among us, ordinary people in all other aspects, that have a connection to one or more of these worlds. Their connection to these worlds can often give them abilities beyond those of other men, or even provide passage to these worlds. Many of these gifted individuals are unaware of their abilities.

I am one of these people, except I am aware of my gifts, and I am not merely connected to one realm, but to all of them. Because of this, I can see and speak with creatures from these realms, as well as separate my spirit from my body and use it to travel to these realms. When I am in these other worlds I can use the magic inherit in these worlds to do anything I can dream of. These are the tales of my journeys through the magical realms. These are the Adventures of John. Why am I posting my tales on a fan fiction site, you ask? Well, you wouldn't believe the people I've met.

. . . . .

I've been doing this for a long time now. I am one of the most feared men in the magical realms, one of the greatest heroes in the universe, and am now a married man. I've faced off against gods and demons, traveled to alternate realities, and fought alongside legendary heroes such as Jack Frost, the Doctor, and my beautiful wife, Queen Elsa. I witnessed the beginning of the universe and saved it from destruction three separate times. But despite all this, the greatest threat I ever faced was one single spell, a spell with the ability to create rifts in the universe and bridge the Void between alternate realities.

This spell was first used by a powerful sorcerer who called himself the Technomancer, who magnified the spell's power using technology in order to force every reality together, creating a single, magic-infused universe which he would rule. I was able to defeat the Technomancer and halt his plans, with some much-needed help from the Doctor and his companion Clara. The spell then fell into my hands, and instead of destroying it like I should have I decided to keep the spell for myself.

A while later I attempted to use the spell to give me access to my magical abilities in our magic-deficient world. Instead the rift I created sucked me into the Void, and I was nearly erased from existence. I was able to save myself, landing in an alternate universe, on a mountain not far from the kingdom of Arendelle, where I met Rapunzel, Eugene, Anna, Kristoff, and the beautiful Queen Elsa. Unfortunately, one of my oldest enemies, a powerful demon known as the Shadow Trickster, found his way to Arendelle as well. We battled, and in that battle I destroyed the psychic wall that kept me from accessing my powers in full.

I spent the next three and a half weeks recovering, and in that time Elsa and I fell in love. Unfortunately, it turned out that my magic is so powerful that my human body could not contain it all. My powers built up inside of me, and I was five seconds away from going nuclear and destroying all of Arendelle. Luckily, Elsa's icy kiss stabilized the unstable forces within me, saving all of us from destruction. The Shadow Trickster then returned, and together Elsa and I defeated him. But before he fled, he revealed to me that the rift I had created was widening, and would soon consume the entire universe. I was forced to choose between staying with Elsa and saving my world from destruction. I left, promising to never stop searching for a way to return to her.

I searched all the magical realms for a way back to Arendelle, calling in debts from old allies and even seeking the help of old enemies. Joining me in the search was Jack Frost, an unlikely friend. Together we found a Voidstone, one of only three in the entire multiverse. One day, when I had nearly decided all was lost, a memory of a friend led me to the answer of my question. Using the same spell that brought me to Arendelle before, except this time using the Voidstone as an anchor and using Jack's icy magic to stabilize the rift, I was able to return to Arendelle and my beloved Elsa. Once there I had to help fight off an invasion from the newly crowned King Hans, but we were victorious in the end, despite all the tricks he had up his sleeve.

I brought Elsa to our world, only to find that Jack, in an attempt to make it so that no child would ever have to stop believing in him and his fellow Guardians, had altered the spell, bringing magic back to our world. His foolish actions not only brought every horror of the magical realms to earth, but reawakened an ancient evil known as the Darkness, which nearly consumed everything. Only with the help of the Doctor and three celestial beings from the beginning of the universe were we able to defeat the Darkness. On our travel to the beginning of the universe we also discovered that the Darkness was not always evil, but had once been noble like its fellow Celestial beings. It was corrupted by a form of emptiness that seemed to consume it.

After everything was returned to normal I destroyed the spell so that it could never put the universe in peril again. I devised another way to return to Arendelle whenever I want to, though I can't take anyone from there back to here. Time passed, and things changed. Rapunzel and Eugene now have three children while Anna and Kristoff have two. After a long ordeal with Aphrodite on Valentine's Day, I proposed to Elsa. We had a wonderful wedding, which included Belle, Aurora, and Merida among the royal guests, with Santa Claus performing the ceremony.

Everything is going good so far. But for how long? Something always goes wrong, it's only a matter of time. The only question is what will happen. I often wonder about that spell. Did I really destroy it? Or did it somehow survive? Could someone, somewhere out there in the multiverse have gotten their hands on that spell somehow? If they did, I dread what could happen. With that spell, nothing and no one, from any reality or universe, is safe.
