Chapter 6, The questions



In the base level of the tower of Hurazu Tim, Tom and Beatrice were all sitting on a large map near the library eating some snacks that Beatrice had whipped up for them all.

"Thats quite the good mind you have Tim, I can't believe you could read the dark testament. No one else in the whole universe can read that." Beatrice said with joy

"Yup, that's the good'ol Fraker luck for ya." Tom chuckled

"Luck or not, if what it said was true then there are more books out there, maybe some that talk about how to stop this guy." Tim said

"If you wanted to get to them, you'd have a long way to go." Beatrice said as she picked her cup, Tim and Tom looked at each other.

"Just how far are we talking?" Tim asked

"As in farther than this universe expands far, there exist a tower just like this one inside every universe, however only a small few hold a dark testament." Beatrice said

"Wait, Multiverse theory is real? Ok, I've officially seen it all. What are they like? How big are they? Is there another me where I'm a super-hot girl? Asking that last one for a friend." Tim asked. Tom looked at Tim concerned while Beatrice giggled.

"Well, you see all universes are above one another, this universe may seem big, but another could view us as nothing more than dust mites. To answer that other question, all universes are governed by the monads and their champion Monad!Man who is the strongest of them all. A race of beings who are the originators of the building blocks of the universe, you can basically consider them your ancestors hehehe we all can." Beatrice said

"Woah that's far out." Tim said as Tom elbowed him playfully

"Also, there's no doubt there's a girl version of you out there, though them being pretty I wouldn't bet on." Beatrice said, Tim slumped disappointed.

"Ok, well if the multiverse exist how big is it?" Tim asked

"Really, really, really, REALLY big. Though I don't think even the Dark One himself can explore it all even. If you think that's big just wait till, I tell you about the galaxies themselves." Beatrice said before Tom then waved his hands.

"As interesting as that probably is we should really focus on the dark testament. Like what kind of trouble collecting them can be." Tom said

"Wait trouble?" Tim said

"Yea, big trouble. The Dark One's forces are nothing to be messed with, one hiveling can throw an entire solar system on its head while his generals were feared by all, said to be capable of halving the universe itself with some of his strongest like Nulog and Wuz being able to wipe out whole civilizations of elves and fairies alike. His most dangerous weapons though were the void bombs, so destructive that one could annihilate an entire cluster of galaxies. The Dark One's allies are vicious and cruel. Their malice even rivaling his own at times, but never to be able surpass. Such a thing is a dream to all, even some of the strongest.

Luckily, we have some great allies, Evela and her fairy army, the Eret people, Euda, The Sphinx and Anubis. We'll need all of their help for this. No doubt the Dark One is already planning his most devious plans, plans to destroy all that are in his way." Beatrice said, she finished drinking her drink when she noticed the absolute terror and shock on Tim's face.

"How about we don't overload the lad with a bunch of insane talk. Let's just figure out our first plan. Getting a hero." Tom said

"That tree guy said that name before, hero. What or who is that?" Tim asked

"The hero? oh my, where do I even begin." Beatrice said

Beatrice began to explain the hero and all that was known of them, the Hero was known by all to face off against the forces of evil at every turn. They were a pure part of the universe and even beyond as if they were gift to the innocent the hero fought in the name of all who were oppressed by malice and vile filled gods who sought the damnation of all things.

They were the pure embodiment of good and drew their power from the Everlasting flow, a power source so ancient it even outdated the Dark One and Evela herself. It was an eternal spinning force that powered all.

The hero was known to be able to carry the entire universe on their back, figuratively and literally. the hero is beyond the laws and restrictions of the universe allowing them to use their full capabilities and full power. They are known to be reborn and are in a constant cycle of death and rebirth forever to face off against evil, no hero is ever the same per rebirth as the vessel is chosen via their heart and soul. No hero however had ever beaten the Dark One.

"Woah that's insane, the hero sounds mega cool!" Tim said

"They are indeed...uhh mega "cool"." Beatrice chuckled, she then looked into her cup and put it down.

"So where are they now? are they duking it out with the Dark One right now as we speak?" Tim asked that's when he noticed everyone's heads hanging low.

"...I guess not." Tim said as he looked over to Beatrice, she gave a large sign as she looked at Tom who nodded.

"...Well, that's the problem, the hero hasn't shown up yet. We're at our most vulnerable right now, Evela refuses to take action at the moment in order to protect her people. Rumors say she plans to leave with the fairies and go far away from the grip of the Dark One." Beatrice said

"What?! How do you solve a problem by running away? Stupid queen if you ask me." Tim said only to have a book fall right on top of his head, Beatrice and Tom got up and looked at him. He winced in pain and rolled around. A major headache now steaming in his brain. He opened one eye and looked up to see the fairy Hoolo looking down at him from the top of the stairs of the tower with a horrible scowl and then fly back out of sight.

"Number one rule my boy, never insult anything regarding the fairies, their culture, their food or especially their queen. I remember the time that I almost got executed for not bowing in front of Evela." Tom said as he looked back on those good memories. Tim however couldn't remember or think of anything due to his blistering headache. Beatrice giggled as her and Tom helped Tim, however somewhere else on the farthest side of the universe on the planet Teseara Evela and her fairy generals which were larger and built much larger than she was were all within the main hall walking down the hall when a small fairy then came flying towards her.

"Speak." Evela said giving the fairy the right to talk.

"My fairest lady, my queen, goddess of light. There has been message sent to you from the mirror. It's from the monads." the fairy said, Evela waved her hand dismissing the fairy. She then looked down the hall to see her younger brother leaning against a column. Prince Dereus, he was known for being the most charming fairy in all the land and the quickest blade as well wielding two swords made of pure concentrated light. His hair was long and blonde, his eyes an ocean blue and his lips rosy and skin perfect. He was top crafted fairy armor that had tree like engravings and nature related symbols on it, amor so powerful and thick that not even a star's destruction would leave a scratch.

"How goes it my dear sister? I reckon you're on your way to the mirror to talk to the monads. I would have saved you the walk, but they wanted to speak with you personally." said Dereus as he bit into an apple like fruit.

"I told you already to stop messing with my affairs and leave royal duties to me." Evela said

"...So, what do you think it's about?" Dereus asked as him and Evela walked into a large room with many scrolls, symbols and crystals that all glowed colors that did and didn't exist. Evela walked over to a large mirror and then put her hands on it closing her eyes. Dereus stood back and watched. Evela used her power to connect the mirror to the caller, the monads whose realm lied outside of the universe itself. Eventually a monad on the other side would connect them.

"Greetings, I believe you ha-

"PLEASE YOU MUST SEND REINFORCMENTS! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK BY THE DARK ONE'S DARK ARMY!" screamed a monad on the other side of the mirror. Evela and Dereus both stood in shock.

"Hes coming." Dereus said
