Chapter One: The Beginning
My name is Curtis. Not a popular name I know. There is something different with me, I can feel and hear things that no one else can. The only explanation I have for it is The Force. Yes, I am a Star Wars freak but I am deadly serious. I can hear voices and see things that should not be possible. Currently I am packing my things for an experiment. Some people say that an intersection of ley lines can open a portal to different dimensions, and while I don't usually believe in that kind of crap, im desperate, so anything is better than nothing. I know that I hold three elements through star, moon and month signs, earth, fire and water respectively. But I want to try something which needs all 4 elements, so I get my friend Grace to join me. She holds the elements of water, earth and air. We pack our supplies. We set out for the bushland near Toogoom, where the ley lines intersect. Once there, we meditate, and hope for the best.
I don't know how long it has been, but I can hear something calling to me. It sounds like my own voice, yet not my voice. I get up and notice that Grace is looking around, so I went over to check on her.
"You hear voices, don't you." I state. She nods.
"So this is what you have been dealing with for most of your life?" She asks, finally understanding why most people say I'm crazy. I only nod in response. We hear a sound that cannot be described, so we face the direction it originated. In front of us, is a portal, albeit one that looked familiar to me, yet I am not sure why.
"Shall we?" I ask Grace, hoping I wouldn't have to do this alone. Thankfully, she followed, and we walked through the portal.
The other side was unexpected. It was an exact replication of the World between Worlds in Star Wars: Rebels, but it also explained a lot. The voices for one, I can hear again, but now it isn't just calling to me, but Grace as well. We walk along the paths and past multiple portals. We hear things from past and future, in multiple different scenarios. (Will expand on said scenarios later). Even though there was not space large enough to set up a proper camp, we did the best we can.
"If we want to go through any of these portals, we will each need an alias," I say to Grace, "And from what I can tell, most of these portals lead to a story created by someone from our universe, thus creating a multiverse for them. We have to avoid changing their timelines in major ways, or we could affect our own personal history." I warn, "And if we run into trouble but for some reason are in different universes, we need a way to communicate."
"The question is how?" Grace asks.
"I have a way, but I don't know how time works in this place, as it is a place of literal time travel. And I need to learn to defend myself before having a chance to get us any form of communication." I state.
"So we will need split up." She decides, "I know one place I can learn to defend myself, but what about you?"
"The same place this world was designed from, Star Wars." I say, "It is going to be difficult, so I might do some experimenting with what we have here for a bit, but if you want to go and begin, I don't mind."
"I may as well get a head start; you never know when we will need it. But if you do find a way to contact me, call me Ace" She says, making her way to a portal.
"You can call me Vex, I have a feeling it may be the creation of something later on." I begin, "Good luck, and for the sake of where we are, may the force be with you." I say with a mischievous grin. Grace, or Ace, walks through her portal, and I am left to the company of my thoughts. Thinking of why I was the only person to be able to find this place, I take an illogical thought of what if I am somehow attuned to the force. Yeah, not something that makes sense, but at the same time, it has merit. I sit down in a meditative position and try to imagine my sleeping mat to hover in front of me. I slowly open my eyes to find that; right in front of me, hovering in mid-air, is my sleeping mat. In my excitement, I lost focus and the mat fell to the ground. With this knowledge, I decide which time-period I would be best in; Rebels. To be exact for where in time I go, I think of Ahsoka. Not when she was with the ghost, but when she was giving them missions, hoping she could teach me for now. With the thought as my main-focus, I walk through the portal.
A/N: So, considering this story has been planned for a while, and yet I usually can't write/type what I am thinking, what do you think? Like I said in the last A/N, there won't be too much detail to begin with, as I just want to get the basis set for each chapter. Afterwards, I will be adding more details and possibly adding some scenes that are suggested by you guys. For now, I cannot promise a side story to add the missing gaps that will appear for Grace/ , but I will see what I can do. A side note to that, I want to ask which you prefer for Grace's Alias; Ace, Sadist, Ace Sadist, Sadist Ace, (No I did not come up with the name, my co-author and possibly future beta reader had the idea) So review and post you opinion. Nut out.
