RWBY:
the reading of the witch princess of chaos
The entity was annoyed, the depression and self-flagulation that the people in this branch of reality were doing was getting to that they had been set up to fail, set up because of one womans love. The local dieties had set a course of events that would destroy their charge just because they had isolated themselves from their charges and did not understand basic human nature.
This however was not a new thing but none that he could remember had done so with deliberate malice. Well except for Demon gods. Thus it came to a plan it chose two of the same universe, one which was close to the master line and one which was as far as possible from it.
Creating a dimensional bubble isolated from time and spaceit then went about creating an environment that would be familliar to the 'guests'. A small theatre like room with a pedestal in the middle before a screen he then connected the two so that they could interact.
There were several rooms off of the main one, Bathrooms and bedrooms and a table enchanted to refill covered with food and drink. He then filled the room with comfy chairs and sofas. His work was done all he needed to do was to choose his guests. Looking over the main line some prominent figures showed quickly.
Salem: a powerful sorceress who was spurned by the gods and cursed with ever lasting life.
Ozpin: a Socerer who was used as an agent of the gods, cursed with reincarnation until his duty was done.
These two around which the timeline revolved, salem gradually losing her sanity until only pain and scorn remained. Ozpin slowly loosing memories and details of his past lives due to the trauma of death and rebirth. In other words they were suffering from entropy.

A blinding white light filled the room, coalescing itself into humanoid shapes. When the light died down there where a number of people looking arround. The confusion was obvious to all of the figures within the room. Some of them were known to all, others were not. However ozpin upon spotting salem tried to draw his weapon only to find that it was impossible, his body would not respond.
He could move, walk and talk however the second he thought about taking aggressive action toward any one in the room he froze. It was at that point another flash appeared leaving a note behind. Picking it up and reading it,
You have all been chosen to see a possible fate of your world. For the duration of this experience all forms of violence have been barred through wards laced into the area you will reside. An explanatory video will play shortly so please make yourselves comfortable.
Reading the note outloud to explain the situation to them all, with a nod they all sat.

Ozpin looked at his other 'guests' before he began. "I believe we should introduce ourselves if onlyfor the formality of it" before taking a draw out of his coffee mug. " i am professor ozpin of beacon." with his piece said he sat on a large plush chair an motioned for them to continue.
Looking around and sighing Salem stood, "my name is salem, a sorceress from the age of magic." she stated before sitting a small smirk playing across her face as there were gasps at her proclamation. After all magic was just things of stories. Wasn't it?
Ruby stood from her seat. A couch shared with her sister. "Hi im ruby leader of Team RWBY" said the bubbly girl "these are my team mates and sister , Yang, weiss and blake." pointing at each respectively. This continued for JNPR, Ironwood and winter.
There was another flash and the two branwens appeared. Qrow and raven. Both looking around before they were motioned to the seats.

The lights dimmed until the room was completely dark and the screen lit up.
"Greetings, you have been chosen to participate in this experiment. You are being given a chance to see one of many possible fates of your world. To explain how this is possible a quick explanation is required."
This was said by what looked like your standard news caster. A generic face with a suit and tie sitting at a desk. It was obviously fake but it did the required job so no one complained as they were getting answers.
"First, the multiverse theory is true. There are many worlds and universes that have their own fates and histories. Just like your own they also have their own gods, abilities, dangers and species residing on them."
This got a gasp from some of them about there actually being gods.
"Each world is run differently by the entities in charge of them. Some roam their charge letting the world advance at its own pace, others create pocket dimensions to house their pantheon. The greko roman pantheon being one which does so."
"Makes sense" stated salem drawing gazes towards her. "What? Everything, even immortals need a place that they can call their own plus our own gods have shown how badly things can go if they directly interfere to much." What screamed the huntress's in training at her statement. The brother gods were real?
The screen then zoomed out to show a diagram. The man stood next to it with a small marker.
"First one needs to understand the differences in the divine." the man said in a lecturers voice. "The lowest level of divinity is called a legacy"
"A legacy?" muttered juane as he tried to think what that could mean
"These are people or families who have divine blessings or blood in them however due to it being passed down it is not as strong as it was" stated the man as he drew this onto his diagram.
With his arms folded and nodding his head at the information, "that makes sense, this would also make them stronger than normal, if only slightly i would assume." stated ironwood. Getting a general hum of agreement.
" next we have Demi-gods. These are directly descended from one of the dieties of their world. they also generally end up as great figures in that worlds history due to what ever abilities they gain from their parent."
"Sounds plausible, wether it be as a soldier or a leader of some kind these people seem like they would be more disposed to create myths about them due to their prowess." analyzed winter.
" next we have the local pantheon. These are the local patron gods. Wether they be one for the planet or many these dieties only have authority over their territory." continued the spokesperson.
"Ahh so the brother gods would fall into that catagory" smirked salem a sadistic pleasure in knowing how low in the totem pole they were.
"Next are the aspects. These dieties cover specific aspects of life, be it emotions or actions these dieties also gain strength from their aspect. These gods tend to get split into two catagories, Demonic and non. The demonic being negative in aspect whilst the non being more positive."
"Interesting, That however does not mean that they are good or evil it is just the orientation of where they are drawing their source. Pride and wrath could be construed as a negative but in the right situation they are positives." mumbled Blake in the quiet room, she was however heard by everyone their. "True, and well done for pointing that out miss belladona." praised ozpin
"Finally we have the primordials, beings of such ability and scope that they cover things such as chaos and order and other such primordial forces in nature. Our host is one such being." said the reporter.
Shock rippled throughout the room at such an entity being the one responsible for their situation.
"Now about our 'Guests' situation. You are from a timeline close to what is known as the 'prime' or 'main' timeline. The further a dimension strays from this 'prime' the more differences occur. Things such as another sibling, events that did not occur actually occurring. You will be watching one of these distant variations."
Weiss nodded at this " That makes sense, it would be a ripple effect. One change rippling out creating new changes and possibilities as it goes." Ruby looked at her partner to see a face of confusion. "Correct sister, it shall be interesting to see what the changes in this other dimension are and where it began."
"However due to the distance between your two distinct universes to make it possible for you to be able to see it, a focus was created in the form of a book. This book is an akashic record allowing for records to be displayed upon the screen to aid in understanding. Such records will follow along with the record being read for context."
Juane looked at the book on the pedestal, " so the only way for us to be able to access and view this other world is through this medium." his mind running through the implications showing the intelligence that is usually hidden underneath his shy exterior.
"It would appear so" replied ren. The video was still going in the back ground as they all thought over the implications.
"It would appear that at some point in the past for us something happened and changed the course of that world" stated salem, she was intrigued at the idea. What changed? How did it change? She always did like to experiment.
"Well their is only one way to find out and that is to begin, who shall start?" asked yang looking around the room only for the book to appear in her lap causing her to sigh, she hated paperwork. Opening the book she prepared to start but not before the title displayed on the screen with a strange star below it.
