Author's note: Hello dreamers, and welcome to the official first chapter of Etheria! I recently found out that I have a condition called Maladaptive Daydreaming, (MaDD) and I have SO MUCH in my head, so I decided to turn it into a fanfic! I read about maladaptive daydreamers, so I am writing this story as a love letter to every maladaptive daydreamer out there! So, over the summer I've been reading many different book series, and I finally found a writing style! Instead of first-person P.O.V, I've decided to write in third-person! So, anyway, enjoy! P.S: I've been watching She-Ra on Netflix, and I found out that there is another kingdom called Etheria, but I came up with this name before I watched the show. I actually got it from the word "ethereal" which I learned from a youtube comment.

Chapter 1: The story of Etheria

There is a special power inside of all of us. You may think I'm talking nonsense when I say this, but there is a power beyond imagination residing in all of our minds, and hearts. Yes, imagination is the keyword, and I'll tell you why. Try to unlock the power right now. Think of what I look like, and you will see that it resides in EVERY living creature. I am a very beautiful woman with long brown hair tied up in a ponytail.

I wear a green, regal gown, covered in precious gems, and I wear a silver crown covered in emeralds. Can you picture me? You probably can, and that means that you are using that power right now. The power of daydreaming. You've probably done it before now, and you know that it can take you places where you never thought you could go. You may think daydreaming is a normal ability, and that it isn't really a power, but I'm here to prove you wrong.

Once there were two tribes. One was the daydreaming tribe, and one was the dreaming tribe. The daydreaming tribe resided in the light of day, and the dreaming tribe utilized the power of night. The daydreamers had a special system, where they would dream of adventures, kingdoms, magic, and love, but they could never will it into existence. That's where the maladaptive daydreamers come in. The daydream tribe had 7 of them. The regular daydreamers of the tribe would go to a MaDD user and request for their daydream to be brought into reality. The maladaptive daydreamers had the power to will ANYTHING into existence, as long as it was used for good purposes, not evil. The MaDD user would then bring it into existence.

The 7th maladaptive daydreamer was the most powerful of them all. Her name was Alessandria, and she was the ruler of the Daydreamer Tribe. She wore a white and pink silk dress covered in feathers, and had extremely long blonde hair, with a golden crown adorning it. The reason she was so powerful was that she wore the ethereal gem. The ethereal gem is a necklace with a rose gold chain and a pink half-heart gem, representing the purest element of them all, and that is love.

Alessia lead the tribe with love and compassion for her people, while only using her immense power for good intentions only. But the opposite tribe, which was the dreamer tribe, used their powers for dark purposes. the nighttime was their playground, and dreams were their specialty. The night dreamers were just like the daydreamers because they could dream anything to their heart's content, but needed someone else to will it into existence. They needed the lucid dreamers, who had the power to bring anything that the night dreamers dreamt of into the real world.

The 7th lucid dreamer was named Morgana, and she was a nasty person, who used the darkness of her own heart to plague the daydreamers with the most horrible of nightmares. She had long, black hair, and a long purple dress, and also wore a dark crown. The reason that these two tribes were in such a bitter feud was because of something called the ancient laws of imagination. Alessia and Morgana were actually twin sisters, and were the first parts of an ancient prophecy called the prophecy of the mind and heart.

The mind and heart work separately in some people, but work in harmony in others, and the 3 worlds of Etheria are the first pieces of the prophecy. First comes the mind, the logical force, which is used rationally and practically. The first world is the world in which we live in called reality. Reality is a place which is logical and down-to-earth, and has hardly any magic. The heart is the second force, and is the part of your soul that is used for romance, emotion, and feelings.

The second world is fiction, which is the world filled up by fictional characters created by other great minds. Any movie, video game, or book character lives in that world, and it is at war with reality, which is always trying to make it logical, and take away the magic and wonder, while the heart is always at war with the mind,

The third world is the most powerful. It is called Etheria, derived from the word ethereal, meaning relating to the regions beyond the earth, or extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. Etheria is comprised of all OCs, mean "original characters" which are characters that we have created in our minds that haven't been published, or made into movies, tv shows, or video games. We sometimes refer to OCs as, "fictional characters in training," because in our hearts we believe that all OCs our on their way to becoming full-fledged fictional characters, up there with some of the greatest.

The three worlds always battled over which is strongest, over which was strongest. Reality believes that they are right in the situation because they are logical and reasonable, while fiction and Etheria disagree, and try to prove that magic, wonder, and imagination are the purest elements. Now, about the prophecy. The prophecy of the mind and heart tells of 2 sisters who will feud with such fury that it will shake the entire earth.

Alessandria and Morgana's parents believed that their daughters would be the ones to fulfill the prophecy, because of one small but important detail. The prophecy foretold that the twin sisters would have special powers of imagination, and the light twin would be born with pink eyes, the color of love, while the dark twin would be born with red eyes, the color of evil. The twins played, laughed, smiled, and learned together, until one fateful day. Alessia was daydreaming in the garden of her villa that day, when she heard footsteps behind her. She went to investigate, and she found out that the thing she was daydreaming about had come into her world!

She started to panic a little bit, but the woman from her daydream calmed her down. She explained that she was from a world called Etheria, and it was a world beyond ours, in our minds. She told Alessia that she had a special power called maladaptive daydreaming, or MaDD for short, and meant that she had the power to create vivid and realistic daydreams, beyond anyone else's. Alessia realized that she needed to name her creation, so she chose Aurora Borealis, after the northern lights. Aurora told Alessia that her daydream power was beyond that of a mere mortal's, and that both she and her sister had power beyond compare.

Aurora explained to Alessia that her power was so strong, that she could daydream about future events and events from the ancient past. In short, she could use her power to go anywhere, anytime. Aurora told her that Morgana also possessed special powers, but could only use them while sleeping. The next evening, Alessia told her sister about Aurora and what she had told her about her powers, and Morgana explained that she had discovered her special powers, too. She told Alessia about the dream she had while napping earlier that afternoon. She was visited by a blonde-headed man, and he told her that he was a fictional character named Dio Brando, and that he was pulled from his world from his own.

Dio explained Morgana's lucid dream powers to her, and told her that she was powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. After Morgana told her story, Alessia knew that something wasn't right about Dio. She put her powers to good use, and daydrempt about Dio and who he was. Her ability showed her the horrifying truth, and she nearly fainted in shock. She screamed in fury at Morgana, fearing for both their lives, because words couldn't even begin to describe the horrible things Dio had done. Their parents ran into the room to see what all the fuss was about, and that's when things went bad. The two girls explained everything to their parents, and as they were talking their father's face got more somber by the second.

He explained the prophecy to the girls. He told them that they would both find out they have special powers at age 8. The prophecy foretold that the dark sister would make friends with a fictional villain, and go against the light sister. Eventually, they would both come of age, and become the leaders of opposite tribes.

After that night, things started to go bad. Alessandria and Morgana's relationship became strained, and Morgana began making friends with more villains, while Alessia stuck to the good side. Things reached their breaking point one day, when Alessia and Morgana got into a fight, which resulted in chaos. Alessia tried to swing at Morgana, but ended up hitting her with a blast of energy, while Morgana tried to take her sister down with pure dark magic. That the point of no return. Alessia created more people with her power, and Morgana did the same. The tribes were formed, and bonds were broken, but their parents did something to assure that it never happened again.

They established the ancient laws of imagination, which protects the worlds of imagination from tragedies such as what happened to Alessia and Morgana.

1. Reality dwellers are not to associate with fictional characters, to keep the worlds in balance and harmony.

2. If a child is born with pink eyes, they are destined to be a good person, and always walk on the light side, just like Alessandria, but if a child is born with red eyes, they are destined to join the dark side, just like Morgana.

3. Always be wary when a child turns 8, because that was the same age that the twins received their powers.

Content with their new laws, and hopeful for the future, the twins' parents passed on in peace. As they slipped away, they cried for their daughters, but smiled for the future...

Aurora became Alessia's most trusted advisor, and Dio became Morgana's. One day, Alessia broke down crying, saddened by what she and her sister's lives had become, so she decided to create one last ray of hope. She used her powers and created a daughter, and embedded her power inside of her. She named her Lily, after her favorite flower, and she also gave her pink eyes. She gave Aurora the duty of raising the child, and told her to pretend to be her mother until she turned 8, and her powers awakened. She couldn't bear to send Lily alone without a companion, so she pulled some strings to send another fictional character with her to be her brother. He would also have knowledge of Lily's bloodline, and would protect her from Morgana, Megan, and Dio.

Morgana had the exact same idea, and created a daughter herself. Hers would be destructive, rambunctious, and mean, and her name would be Megan. Dio would take her to his world, where she would be raised as his sister, and eventually fight Lily.

This is how our story begins, with two sisters who will be the future of everything that we believe in, who will fight each other throughout the multiverse, and make friends and enemies along the way.

So, that was the first chapter in my fanfic! It explored the history of the two sisters,and set up the plot for most of the story! The reason I chose 8 for the coming of age is that I first started thinking of this story at that age exactly, and the reason I chose Megan for Morgana's daughter's name is because of a dream I had one night a long time ago, about me having a new adoptive sister named Megan, who tried to steal my crush from me! Anyway, I'll see you all next time!
