Alternate World
Disclaimer: I do not own the Black Jewels Trilogy or any other books or ideas this story may be based on. Many characters and ideas are from Anne Bishops' books, and the idea of alternate universes I stole from Diana Wynne Jones' books, The Chrestomanci Series.
Prologue
There are many alternate universes. Some are alike, and some are like chalk and cheese. They are created when a major event has two or more possible outcomes. Both conclusions can not exist in the same world, so it splits into new ones. These new worlds are similar to the old one world, but slowly they grow apart, taking different paths down the long road of history. In this way infinite alternate universes have been created and much travel occurs – between the known ones. But which no one now remembers, or no one ever realised, is that there wasn't one world at the beginning of time…there were two.
These two worlds existed next to each other, but there were no similarities between them. At an unknown time in a forgotten past one of the "first" worlds split, and then those new worlds split, until millions of new worlds were created, and went on being created. However the other "first" world was very different. It only ever split into three different worlds, and then it stopped. Perhaps it would be more correct to say that it split into three realms, as they continued to develop in the same ways and communication was maintained between them. Those realms were called the light, the shadow and the dark, and the beings in them devised ways of easy travel between. Those beings developed in completely different ways to the beings in the alternate worlds and there seemed to be no similarities between them, until Jaenelle Angelline was born.
Please read and review! I need all the help I can get, as this is my first ever fan fiction. If you have any questions please ask as I cant always write down what I'm thinking very well.
