Prologue: The Beginnings
Hello, and welcome to my story. Unfortunately I alone am not terribly interesting, so I guess it's a good thing I was not the only version of me pulled into this multiverse-nightmare. There is a theory out there that every decision made, creates a new version of the dimension. Well I'm not sure if that's true or not, but here, in this nightmare I find myself living. It seems that there are at least six versions of this universe, and a whole plethora of completely separate ones. Ya see, here in this, our dimension, my name is Nathan I am in my mid-twenties and have nothing really going for me. My own short comings aside, the other versions of me that you are about to meet, while not the most usual group, have much more going for them. Please keep in mind that we are the same age and that the worlds we come from are essentially the same but something in history, at least my personal history, is different and that is what results with the differences in us.
I guess I'll start with Mason. In his world the medical field is far beyond what it is here in our world, and his family has been neck-deep in it for generations. He is well versed in advanced (by our standards) medical procedures, and has a perfect bedside manner. He is, personality wise, exactly what you would want for your doctor. Honest, intelligent, caring, and stern when needed. He is by no means a fighter or aggressive person, but he is definitely not someone to make an enemy of.
Next I'll go to Neal. His world is almost a carbon copy of ours. His is an example of only my personal history being different. He and his brothers run the family ranch. Neal could be straight out of an old western movie. Cowboy hat and boots, with a long brown leather duster, and always, always doing something with rope. Whether he's working on various knots or just improving his lasso technique.
Nick is from a more militant version of our world. Apparently, the American civil war went differently and that affected WWII, Nick has been training as a member of a private militia since an early age. He hasn't seen much real combat yet, but he is still trained at least as well as our U.S. Marines.
Natalie, she is… well first off she is the only version of me here that is female. She is also a twin. When I watch how she interacts with people I both cringe, knowing that is some version of me, and laugh at anyone who ever said I was flirtatious or perverted. She is incredibly comfortable in her sexuality, just what it is, I haven't figured out yet, and has no problem messing with all of us here.
Jayson on the other hand is a different story. Natalie's twin brother, he is tall and powerfully built. It seems he used to play sports professionally but was forced out because of violent tendencies' combined with drugs and alcohol. He has calmed down since he's been clean, going on six months according to Natalie, but he is still the most aggressive one here.
And finally, Ethan. Standing at five feet three inches tall he is the shortest one of us, Natalie coming second at five-four, and is just all around a small person. Thin and short, little to no discernable muscle mass, the only thing that will save him in a fight is that he is really hard to hit. He has mastered the art of reading a person's muscles and can dodge everything a normal person can throw at him. He is also freakishly smart, in his world he has studied anything he could get ahold of. Law, medicine, mechanics, you name it, he has studied it. He got bored of school when he was eleven so he decided to graduate and start collage. He has since flown through several master degree programs and even learned seventeen real languages and twenty-five fictional languages.
We were introducing ourselves and trying to figure out why we were no longer where we were a few moments ago, a bright flash of light was all any of us could remember before being here, when several people just faded into view. An old man stood at the middle of this new group, he had silver hair held up in a small top-knot and crimson eyes that held a gentleness in them that I had never seen close to the level of before. To his left was a small child about eight years old by the look of him, he had light brown hair and bright brown eyes, he looked between us with wonder only a child could manage. Behind the child was a man who could easily have been his father, they had similar faces but the man had blonde hair that was trim and proper and almost lazily perfect blue eyes. To the left of him was a person who was constantly shifting from one appearance to another, the forms flowed never truly stopping on one or completing it, everything about this person changed, height, weight, hair and eye color, skin color, gender, proportions, it was entrancing to watch. Back to the right of the old man in the middle were four more men, the one closest to the middle looked like, well, an angel. Pure white hair and eyes, dressed in flowing robes of similar purity, and almost blindingly white wings were folded calmly on his back. The second one was well dressed and clean cut, but what was most striking were his eyes. Looking into them was like stargazing on the clearest night anyone or anything had ever seen, it felt as though if you looked close enough, you could see all of creation. Pulling myself away from the vastness of his eyes, I took in the third. He looked like a darker version of the blonde standing on the other side. Not because he seemed evil or anything that way. They looked similar but this one had dark hair and eyes, also instead of looking like the chairman of some big company, he looked more, middle class. I don't mean that in a negative way, but he looked tough, like he could handle himself alone in a dark alley. The last one was the plainest looking of them, dressed in business casual style attire and smoking a cigarette, but the way he held himself, it was almost like the gravity kept increasing the more I looked at him.
"Greetings, Humans. My name is Gosora." The old man spoke up, instantly grabbing our attention. "I'm afraid you have been gathered because a great evil threatens the multiverse. Before you ask how you can be of help, let me tell you." Gosora stepped forward. "We are gods of a portion of the multiverse, we have the power to bless mortals and awaken their latent powers. We will do so for any among you who is willing, we have also set up a whole new layer to the multiverse that will allow you to travel and train your new abilities to their maximum. The great evil we need you to overcome is not yet upon us but will awaken soon." He looked to each of us individually before clapping once and standing with open arms. "Any who wish to proceed step forward and let us begin, no one will think less of those who refuse." We all took a moment to glance at each other and contemplate things before stepping forward as one. Gosora grinned when he saw this. "Good, you will need each other to overcome all that lies before you. There are many more of us gods than what has gathered here. Those of us here will be the ones to bless you. Unfortunately, only Will's blessing." He gestured and the blonde stepped forward to join him. "Is available to you at this point. You will each be sent to a place for training, one of us, perhaps not one who is currently here, will oversee each of you and when you are ready, you will receive your blessing." As he finished, Will's hands began to glow, and after a few seconds we did as well. We then began fading from the meeting and Will spoke for the first time.
"With each new world you may find yourselves entering as children, this is so you may better understand what that world has to offer you. Do your best to survive any challenge that arises and earn your blessing, and awaken your power." With that said we faded completely into our new lives.
