I do not own this EverWorld or its charaters. I only own the dialogue and situations as this happens after book XII (12) Everything else belongs to A. K. Applegate (and FYI: I perpously don't mention much about Christophers simi-x girlfriend. So if you don't like review me about it and I'll see what I can do)

Chapter I

The Places We Come From and the Places We Go (AN: if anyone has any ideas on a better title peleas tell me)

We where hungry, tired, dirty, and stuck. Suck in a way that you know is your own fault but want to blame someone else, anyone else; so that you don't have to take responsibility. We had chosen to stay after I'd killed her, my own sister. I had done the necessary, so everyone said, and no one blamed me for it. Senna had forced me to make that decision when she tortured Jalil, made him claw at his own face and hands until they bled. She had bewitched Christopher almost to the point of killing and exposing me. So I had done it, because no man could kill her. I was the only one. I had taken Jalil's knife, Excalibur, the Coo-Hatch steel blade we had traded for when we'd first arrived in Everworld. I'd plunged it into her without a thought, it was a natural reaction, a killing in the context of battle, but it felt so different. I had killed before, but not another human being. It just felt, different. Right after, I had felt empty, hollow, like my soul had been drained form my body. But no one blamed me. No one.

After it happened we'd been fading in and out of both worlds until we chosen our permanent home. We'd chosen here. I don't now if we made the right choice. I hope we did. I mean, we couldn't really come back to the real world and live the same way as before. We had seen too much. I, had seen too much. The horror that was part of are lives was now our permanent reality. Was I scared? You bet. But I'd made my choice. We all had. And now we where back to square one.

We set out for Mt. Olympus weeks ago, but had yet to reach are destination, Jalil of course was no help, with him trying to make sense of the senseless. We were lost. Something, we've learned (the hard way) it's never good to be in Everworld.

We've tried so many times to describe EverWorld but it's like trying to explain color to a person who has been blind since birth. But, here goes, Everworld is a world apart, a world connected to reality but not. A world where magic is real and so are mythological beings and creatures. You name it we've probably seen it, gods, demi-gods, elves, goblins, fairies, nymphs, unicorns, talking horses, talking pigs, talking dragons, and the list goes on. Like I said, you name it, we've seen it. And it's all here, all real, why because, WTE. Welcome to Everworld, it's our all purpose answer to all of EverWorld's weirdness. Why? Because. Move on.

This is a world built on most of the basic principals of the "old world" as it is called. Where gravity works, usually, but this is also a place where cause and effect don't always cause or effect. Or sometime you get a cause with no effect and vise versa. This is a place where what we know as law of physics are more like suggestions. Or very, very bendable guidelines

My favorite description of Everworld is two soap bubbles floating side-by-side, connected yet separate. Where ideas and concepts of older times are real. Where for all we know the world is flat and everything revolves around the flat earth. Where, for all we know light comes form are eyes not the sun. We know almost no more about Everworld then we did when we came here. Hears what we know, we know that the gods of the old world decided earth was no longer a good place to live anymore because of a little thing called human intelligence. We where getting to smart for them, and they, lets just say, weren't having any of it. They wanted to be worshiped forever and so got together with all the other creatures of myth and created Everworld to preserve their way of life. We don't know exactly when it was created but we know when it was, alien gods decided to jump on the bandwagon and come along with their own people too, and that was all fine and dandy until one day another type of god appeared on the scene, the kind of god that eats other gods Ka Honor.

So, now were stuck between a war between the god of old and the god eater. Who do we have on are side the lady , x-queen of Merlinsire, the lady E, daughter of , Merlin, that's right, thee Merlin the Magnificent, the goddess Athena, the gods Thor and Loki, and a few others. We are trying to persuade other gods to band together in the fight against Ka Honor but its slow work. The gods aren't what you would call smart. They're like ten-year-olds with thunderbolts. Not a good combination. In fact it's about as good a combination as electricity and water.

So, right now however, we are lost, hungry, dirty, tired, and really cranky, to say the least.

AN: Thank you so much for reading my first chapter of my everworld fanfic. Its so cool to be starting a new one. I tryied a different one with the same title but it just wan't working for me. So, here I am. I hope you enjoy and please, please, please review or I won't have the motivation to keep updating. I promis to try to update at least once per week but it can be hard with my current college course load.

Keep the Dream Alive

By the way, for anyone who don't understand the whole "Keep the Dream Alive" thing it comes from "The Tribe", a really cool telivison show form New Zealand(spelling) anyway, I will be trying to upload episode of it on (another really cool thing to check out) and if you want to know anymore about "The Tribe" (and you all should) go to and read all about it...
