Both turned to face the voice to find a beautiful young woman. Black hair framed her delicate face, and her clear blue eyes sparkled with hidden power.
"Who are you? Are you the one who brought us here?" Casey asked.
:"Yes, and no, I myself did not bring you here," she said, and suddenly she changed.
Then there standing before them was no longer a woman but a young man with brown hair and gray blue eyes.
"I did. I am Lysander, the Chosen of the Light of the Spirit. That was my sister, who would not have her name reveled, though she is the Chosen of the Dark of the Spirit. We called you here on an important matter," the man said, and then changed back into the woman.
"You see, as you know. You more then Frodo, Casey, that to both of you the other world does not exist or is not known to you. But you see, all worlds exist at one point or another, and each is different from the other. There are barriers separating each world from each other to protect the inhabitants. Some that can see into some worlds write stories about them, as Tolkien did for Middle Earth and so on. That does not harm the barriers in any way, since these people are gifted with this ability," she said then changed again into Lysander.
"But something broke the barriers between the worlds, and in doing so, shattered them. The worlds converged into one. You two were the only ones we could save from being fully changed. For you see, you each have hundreds of different counterparts, and if you were to meet together, you would either converge or go mad, more likely the former, since you two are the original copies," Lysander said.
"What do you mean by the original copies?" Casey asked.
"You see, Elijah Wood, who we couldn't save, is the true first copy, then you two go after him in likeness, but each of you are the original copy of your creators. The ones after you, such as in fanfiction, Casey, you should know what those are, are kind of like copies, clones, whatever you will. Each different and just as real as you. But back to the explanation," Lysander said and changed back into his sister.
"We don't know what happened to break the barriers, all we know is that we must find out what it was, and fix it quickly. We don't even know why the Powers chose you three, but you three are the ones that will have to save your worlds. If you can right the wrong that was caused, everything will be restored back to normal. But if you don't do it before the next full moon, your worlds will stay that way, and you too shall be corrupted and twisted," she said.
"But that is only in two weeks!" Casey exclaimed.
"I know, but realm time is different. As you pass into each realm, time will either go faster or slower. Do you accept this quest as you might call it?" she asked.
"What choice do we have?" Frodo asked, knowing they had no other choice.
Casey sighed and nodded.
"Good, we shall send you to the world, since there is no separate world anymore. It seems you will only encounter things from your own worlds, such as different realms of Lord of the Rings, and the Faculty. I must warn you, things are terribly different. You shall experience many horrifying things. But you shall find those out in time," she said and changed back into her brother.
"Any questions?" Lysander asked.
"Yes, one, why do you two keep changing like that, and where will we go?" Casey asked.
"The reason we change is because when the barriers shattered, both sides of the spirit fused together, and so did we as guardians of those elements. As to where you will go, you shall know when you get there plus there may be someone to help you along the way," Lysander said.
"When do we go?" Frodo asked.
"Now," Lysander said.
Before the eyes of the two before him, the room faded from them and then they suddenly found themselves in a world gone mad. Lysander/the woman were gone, and they were alone.
"Who are you? Are you the one who brought us here?" Casey asked.
:"Yes, and no, I myself did not bring you here," she said, and suddenly she changed.
