Chapter 4: History Lesson
We arrived at the destination fairly safe. Well, that's from my standards. Of course I usually expect me to arrive standing, but thing's like... this can happen. Sure, some people are being squashed to death, but landing in a pile is... decent. Especially for someone who hasn't even been to the place we are now.
As I got up, I examined the area. We was currently in a massive field, with rolling hills and random wild-life. I quickly looked behind me, seeing everybody slowly get up, trying to untangle themselves from the heap of bodies.
"I'm so glad I didn't wear a skirt today..." I heard someone mutter, probably Hannah. I turned around fully to do a head-count.
"Okay, we have Lewis, Simon, Duncan, Hannah, Kim, Rythain, Zoey, Sips, Sjin, John (Panda), Liam (Nilsey)... annnnd that's everybody? Any missing body-parts? Broken bones?"
Everyone seemed okay, so I moved on to the more important task at hand. Rummaging through my pockets, I found what I was looking for. A long stream of code, which I had trapped and brought to the real world. Smiling, I opened the vial it was in, and it instantly reconnected with the dimension. My grin widening, I knew it would come into effect in 5...
"Why are we hear?" Asked Sips.
4...
"Can we get our answers now?" Added Kim
3...
"What... the hell..." Muttered Simon, still feeling dizzy from the TP.
2...
"Hello?" Said Rythain, confused because I wasn't responding.
1!
Clapping my hand's twice, A massive mansion slowly faded into view, it was far away, but still see-able. Everyone's jaw's dropped as they stared in awe.
"I like my place's to be fancy." I said, breaking the silence. "C' mon, let's go check it out!" That seemed to snap everyone out of their trance like state, and before they could bombard me with questions, I was already off, running across the field. With some cursing, they followed, which soon changed into a race, who could get to this mysterious place first?
Once we have arrived, breathing heavily, I opened the door, peering inside. Deeming it to be safe, I opened it wider, and allowed them inside.
"Go on." I said, my words bouncing off the massive walls of the lobby. "Explore!" They needed no more encouragement. As I watch them run off in pairs, I scan the room one more time. No dimension glitches yet... that must mean this structure is stable, and here to stay. The dimension has accepted this new building, despite it's unnatural appearance into the world. Now, my new goal was to find everyone again, and try to figure out that glitch. They may be nice, but there's no use in getting attached, I just need to explain everything, make sure the box glitch thing doesn't spread, and then actually do what I'm supposed to do.
Slightly concerned, I spawned a chair, and sat down. How the hell am I going to explain this? Scratching my head, I get up again. I figure that out at the time, right now I need to find a big room, that would fit everyone in, and then go hard-core story mode. Clicking my fingers and pointing forwards, I walked in a random direction, knowing I just need to find the biggest room. How hard can that be?
After age's of walking, I finally found it. It was called the "dinning room", and seemed to be the place where everyone ate. Most of my little group were in there already, so I motioned them to take a seat and wait. Soon, everyone had gathered in the room, sitting down on the various couches and chairs, chatting quietly. I cleared my throat, getting their attention, and opened my mouth to speak.
"Okay, now I know you lot want to ask loads of questions, but let me explain everything first. Ask questions at the end, and don't interrupt." They nodded in agreement, and I took a shaky breath. I've never told anybody about everything, but it look's like I'm going to.
"The world as you see it is much different then you know it. First of all, this is a dimension. There are million's of dimensions around us, by just raising my hand, I have touched hundreds. Dimensions... live. They are living, like you and me. They never die, but can be wounded or corrupted. Dimensions can also merge together, but this is extremely dangerous, and can result in total chaos. Most time's the dimensions... just perish, they cannot die, but can be reduced to nothing but a husk.
Now everything has a code, the ancient language of Cirrus. This is the fibre of your being, and if your code doesn't exist, you wont either. Simple as that. Cirrus was the first dimension, and still exists today. Each week, Cirrus split's, creating more dimensions. That's why there are so many now. Dimensions are also a big bunch of code, and with the right tools, you can change that dimension, change what happened. So, for example, you can make it that the chair never existed.
Now I am... different. I came from Cirrus, I was born there. But my code was... changed. After a small accident, my code had been merged with part of Cirrus. So, you can say I am a dimension. This gave me the ability to jump across dimensions, to enter the Cirrus-Forest, which is the heart of all creation, the place where every single code is. Don't worry, I have good intentions, I just want to learn, to figure out all the secrets of the dimensions. Currently I'm just telling you what I've found out already.
Also I am a Elementalist. The crazy powers? Yeah, I can bend all the elements, and teleport. Plus with the use of code, I could spawn in anything. So, I guess you can call me some crazy over-powered person. And all my battle-moves I've learned was from loads of training, learnt from past mistakes. In Cirrus, they train everyone, in battle and mind. I think that's the only dimension that know's about this, and has fully prepared it's next generation. Once you go into adult-hood, you are free to do as you please. Most get placed in a completely new dimension, by a clever contraption, to start a new life, while others stay and teach the children. I was going to stay, but when I found out about my powers, I went on a quest to find more. At the time, I only knew about code and dimensions, so I was walking in blind... and I loved it."
I take a deep breath, and tried to smile, but ended up just looking at my sword. "It's a lot to take in... I know, but it's true."
We sat in silence for a long time, but it was peaceful, and content. Like just after a big meal.
"You still haven't told us about your name, or your history." Simon said finally.
I look up. "You don't want to know." I mutter, looking away.
"But... don't you miss your family?" Asked Zoey.
I winced. I knew they were going to bring it up. Just... wasn't prepared. "You know that fact that I'm part dimension? Well dimensions cannot die. The horrible price I have to pay."
They gave me blank look's. They just didn't get it, do they?
"I'm immortal. I'm at least one thousand years old. Everyone I've ever knew has died. No one can live as long as me." I get up, and I quickly turned around, so they couldn't see the tears. "I will be in the attic. Come to me when you want to leave." And with that said, I walked away. Jeeze, by now death should mean nothing to me. But when I think of past friends and family, it hurts.
Will the pain ever stop?
Author's Notes:
I have done it! This is my head-cannon on how this stuff came to be, so don't judge! This chapter was just filling you in on what is going on. Cirrus is pronounced si-rus by the way, and can you guys tell me any awesome mansions that I could base this one on? Also a massive thank you to manaphymajic1999, for being the first to review! Seeing that made my day, so a big hug and a high-five for you!
Thanks again for reading!
