This is not, however, my final post of this story, as had happened with the last one, but just a breaking point. Know now that everything is ok in the Lyokoian world, at least until I come up with another way to hurass the charictors.
Thank you all for reading this and please feel free to start in on any other stories that I may post.
I wasn't entirely sure where I was. The traveler had taken me from euphoria to another universe. I believe he had called it Aricitopia, but I had no idea if that meant anything. In any case traveling through universes seemed to be somewhat similar to traveling through Lyoko. Everywhere around me there were lights and symbols of various colors, but I seemed to be in some kind of bubble. The traveler was outside the bubble and his body seemed to be transparent in places, but the places moved and shifted. It was as though he were phasing in and out of the physical realm.
We are traveling through a space that exists around all other universes. From here I am able to access nearly any other universe in this existence. And this is one of the only ways to access Aricitopia. He said through my mind. We will be there in a couple of seconds.
Suddenly we reached the end of the 'tunnel', or what ever it was, and I was standing in a field of very green grass. There were flowing hills around us and as the breeze blew it reminded me of an image of the ocean that I had once come across. The sky was a greenish shade of blue and there seemed to be four suns in the sky. Far away from where we were standing I could see a very large forest that seemed to be growing around a number of large mountains. These mountains seemed to have large platform like planes on them at irregular intervals, but I couldn't see enough from this distance to be sure.
"We are here." The traveler told me. "I want to make you as comfortable as possible while you are here so if you need anything please feel free to tell someone."
"Um, ok, but were will I live?" I asked looking around the empty field.
"Oh, we aren't in a city yet. Don't worry, there are enough rooms for guests." He told me and tapped his stave on the ground.
A light began to circulate from the ground around us forming a circle. The light stretched up and formed a dome above us and suddenly disappeared showing that we were now in a large hallway. Around us there were a number of strange creatures that I had never seen before. There were tall ones that looked almost human but had some kind of variation on them, some looked like trees while others appeared to be on fire. There were also a number of quadrupeds, the majority of which seemed to be various shades of green.
"Those are called Aricitics," the traveler told me pointing to the green dogs. "Be careful around them, they may be respectful but they also expect respect in return. There are three types of the ones that look human, the first being elementals who have ten subspecies. The second are sometimes called humanimals and other times they prefer to be called other things. The final ones that aren't human don't have a group name but they are peoples like elves and dwarves and the like."
"How can I tell them apart?" I asked.
"The elementals come in ten variations: fire, water, earth, air, metal, electricity, ice, wood, light and dark. You should be able to tell which is which, and you should note they prefer not to wear clothing. If that makes you uncomfortable feel free to tell them, they don't mind changing temporarily for others. The humanimals look like humans with other-animal qualities, such as a woman with a cat tail and ears. They usually don't need to wear clothing, since their fur covers up anything that would be shown, but some of them do and some of them prefer to anyway. Finally the others almost always wear clothing, the elves are very tall and have ears similar to the ones you have now; the dwarves are very short and have long beards... well, the others will tell you what they call themselves if you ask." He told me. "There are also a few humans here, you may or may not see them. Each city is connected through space and time so you can travel from here to any other city in this universe through specific doors that will be marked. I will show you to your room right now, if you ever get lost don't worry just think about your room and open a door... you will be taken directly there. I will also be having someone, or myself teach you a few things that I am sure you will find useful when I take you back to your home..." he paused and cocked his head. "Now, if you will excuse me I must attend something." And he disappeared.
"Gwinesis! Damn it, he needs to stop doing that." A man said from somewhere to my right. I turned to look at who was speaking and saw someone who looked almost exactly like the traveler. The few differences were that his hair was brown rather than blond with very light green overtones, and what he was wearing was a rich emerald green. There was also something about his face but that was harder to describe. "I'm sorry about him." The man said approaching me. "Aelita was it? Here, let me show you to your room." He walked up to a wall and as a door appeared he turned the handle. When he opened the door I saw a room that looked like a mixture of the four Lyoko areas and of Yumi's house. It was very large and I began to wonder how it could all fit, and if they had been preparing for me. "My name is Gwyosis, I am... well, it isn't important right now." he paused for a moment. "Gwydion is kind of unreliable some times... no, all the time, so if you need help and he isn't around call me and I will probably be able to help you."
"Um, thank you." I said.
"I'll leave you be for now. Again, if there is anything you need, ask." And he walked away.
I entered my new home and looked around. As I said before it was a combination between Lyoko and Yumi's house and I was able to see the room I had slept in at Yumi's house. The combination was very strange but very beautiful as well. The way the areas merged together was done in such a way that it looked like it was supposed to be that way. Part of Yumi's room merged into a small section of the forest, the bathroom of her house merged after that directly over a small pool of water and what I assumed was supposed to be a waterfall. The living room merged with the mountain region so that if I sat on the couch and watched the television I could also see mountains over a vast valley. It was very beautiful and I continued to wonder how it had been done.
After a while of exploring the room I found a tower and entered it. The inside was the same as it had been in Lyoko and I tried to access it. When I began opening windows I found that it really was a replica of Lyoko in every way. I could access everything that I had been able to before, and I guessed the only difference was that I wouldn't have to worry about X.A.N.A. That was a good thing, but I doubted that he would be able to even do anything in this world.
I looked around within the files and found that I was able to access media from this world. After turning on a television like window I began looking through the 'channels'. Suddenly I found something that looked very familiar and began watching it. It took only a second to realize that it was a television show about us... about Lyoko and the others. For a moment I was shocked, but then my curiosity overcame me and I continued to watch this new thing with interest...
