The Void of Worlds

Chapter#0

Prologue

The Void of Worlds
??:?? xx

By Mornings Dew

==

The Void of Worlds was a calm gap between worlds, inhabited only by the umbras that stretched across the still land. Dark trees that sprouted out the crust and produced their black fruits, reaching the highest point in their silent lives, only to stop, frozen in time until another tree touches its peek. Chard spots etched the ground wherever you went, plastered everywhere. Recent wars prevent this ominous land from continuing its cycle. Mysterious and powerful magic was so strong it interrupted everything, no matter the defense.

The Void of Worlds was a calm plain of shadow before one of the three R.Watcher clans abused its treasures.

The echoes of an aggressive and authoritative voice rang through the stone castle, ”What do you mean they're gone?!”

A second voice gave a monotone reply, ”I meant they are gone, must I always repeat myself?”

In the middle of nowhere, covered with paused tall black trees, like a dead forest, lies a large and intimating castle made of crudely cut stone, with a wide path leading toward and away from it that long ago stopped fading.

Unlit torches hung on both sides of a massive draw bridge that was currently unavailable to cross on. A lake like ink that mimicked quicksand surrounded the large castle for yards, grey shrubbery littered the ground, vines crawled along the castle walls and gates, and strange plants stopped growing at random spots that seemed impossible to grow in.

Still and stoic shadowy figures that stood tall at the castles watch outs, protecting the castle of its treasures and inhabitants resting inside.

”There must a reason,” the first voice rebutted with barely restrained anger.

With this, the second voice noticed a spike of dangerously uncontrolled magic, ”Sir, please calm yourself, you will damage the realm once again,” the second voice said in its emotionless tone. Well, as much as their seemingly worried soul would allow.

The first unwise voice did not listen, despite the second voice’s effort, processing to slam his hooves in the cold stone ground, illuminated by the purple torches decorated across the room's pillars, cracking it.

A strange silence filled the room.

”Are you alright, sir?” the second voice questioned shortly after.

”No,” the first voice hissed aggressively, ”I thought you were smart, E. You husk of feathers!”

E’s expression did not change, ”Please forgive me, sir,” E blinked.

The first voice grimaced in annoyance and facehoofed.

The groaning of two heavy old doors and the flapping of wings trailed a third and vivacious voice, ”Wowza! All the trees are a’ movin’!”

The new voice snapped their wings closed, dropping gracefully to the ground, as if they have done it before, now hopping across the room and continuing their journey.

”So. . .” the new arrival began, stretching out the word, ”Mister Sir. . . Sir.”

’Sir’s’ eye twitched.

”Lower the funky magic will ya?” the third voice asked disrespectfully, oblivious to the quickly decreasing temperature.

E lifted a hoof to adjust his glasses and proceeded to pull up his hood. Right then a scream of pure cold fury was released within the room.

”HE STARTED IT!” ’Sir’ hollered, pointing an accusing hoof towards E, ”Don't get in this Eye, and don't touch me! You probably have diabetes!”

Eye’s expression turned puzzled, ”What?” he asked incredulously.

’Sir’ turned to E, ”Look, E,” he firmly started, ”I want you to find out what happened, humans don't just randomly disappear entirely from their dimension!”

”Obviously!” Eye’s happy voice laughed.

’Sir’ enacted a deadly gaze, ”If this is not solved soon we will be in a grave situation. Now, leave you two!” he hollered, ”Fix the problem you useless piles of feathers!”

”Aye-aye captain!” Eye cheered, ”Come on E, we have some humans to find!”

”I am following,” came the usual monotone reply.

”See ya later, World!”

”When you find them you must capture them!” World huffed as they left, ”. . . And good riddance,” he teleported away.

And the room was empty once more.
