When I woke up, I was in a soft pink room with white and gold furniture. There were designs of darker pink on the walls not covered by furniture. There were mostly unicorns and pegasi, but there were two alicorns on the white door, one outlined in gold, and the other in silver. All things considered, kt was a nice room. The only problem was… where was I? I looked around for anything that seemed familiar. There were only odd white leather clothes in the dresser, some with gold and/or pink too. I was wearing white leather clothes with gold on the end of the sleeves, on the neckline, and on the ankles with no shoes. I looked kind of like a rock star… I then went to the door and tried to open it. It stayed shut. A voice came from some invisible speaker on the ceiling, maybe multiple.
“Looks like you’re awake. I have notified her majesty, she should be here soon. Meanwhile, I’m sure that you have many questions, some i am allowed to answer, some i am not. Still, asking never hurt anyone!” Stated a female voice.
“Where am i?” I asked before I could stop myself.
“You are in the medical bay of a facility in an interdimensional gap.”
“How did i get here?”
“Her majesty carried you through a portal.”
“Who’s ‘her majesty’?”
A panel came down from the ceiling on a robotic arm and flipped. On the panel, there was an odd symbol. I didn't get a good look at it though, because i was on the ground almost the second i saw it. My head hurt as a message started to play in my head.
A person who wore orange and red feathers in her hair and on almost all of her clothes took over my vision. Then, she started to speak. “Hello, my name is Phoenix. If you are seeing this message, then that means that you have seen the symbol of the fairy queen. She is the leader of the beings that police the beings that created your entire universe. They also might be male, but we have not had a king yet, so i can't tell you either way. She (or he) is extremely powerful. I suggest that you help the monarch of the light kingdom in any way you can, but if you don't, the monarch of light is known to be genuinely kind, so there are no issues there. If it is on an item, that means that it is one of her messengers or servants, if it's on the body, that's her. If you see the mark of the queen of darkness, it is something to be feared. If you see it, you will get more information. Phoenix out.” my sight returned and the headache was gone.
I found myself on the ground holding my head. Then, I felt a hand on my back. “Karin, did you show her the symbol? You know it hurts human minds,” I turned to see the woman with puffy hair to my left.
“I-i’m fine, really…” I said.
“If you say so,” She replied.
“Um…”
“Yeah?”
“Karin said that I was in a dimensional gap. Is that...true?”
“Yup. cool, huh?”
“How…?”
“I created it a couple trillion years ago, Karin remembers it exactly, but I don’t remember it too clearly.”
“What about everyone else?”
“Everyone who was still alive when we reached them are safe. That includes those you think of as enemies. When they saw my dragons, they apologised and are now helping you rebuild and help the injured. Plueguebringer put your systems together wrong, so I brought you back here.”
“Who are you?”
“You saw the panel. I’m sure that Phoenix told you all about it.”
“Oh, you’re her…”
“What’s wrong?”
“You don’t really seem extremely nice…”
“Well, I’m… kinda’ a phenomenon. Follow me,” the woman opened the door and walked through. I followed her. The halls were white with golden designs of dragons, unicorns, pegasi, and other mythical creatures. She stopped at a door. When she opened it, there was what looked like the milky way galaxy. The woman took my hand and put a golden key in it, then walked into the mini-galaxy. I put the key in my pocket, then moved to follow her. She stuck her head out, took the key out of my pocket, and put it again in my hand, then disappeared again. I followed.
As it turns out, the mini-galaxy was a portal to a pink room with a bunch more portals and no furniture, but otherwise like my previous room. She walked through another portal that led to a huge room full of colors. There were people there, like a bunch of people. A couple of them looked like the HVengers. There was Spider Horse, Thor, Iron horse, Broccoli Horse, Black Horse, America Horse, and everyone else from the HVengers too. There were also other characters from famous movies, tv shows, and books. There was a colorful hallway leading out of the room. The woman led me through it. After only a couple feet, the hallway forked. We went to the left hall.
There was a library. It was huge. Bigger than any library I had seen in the whole world. In the center was a stature of a superhero I had never seen before with some books floating around her. The costume was pink, purple, and white with a white and red mask. There were people who looked like superheroes that I had never seen before taking all sorts of characters that I had seen before on the covers of novels to certain shelves. Likely some sort of superhero librarian. There were fountains going along the walls, and the ceiling was super high, I couldn’t even see it. It looked like sunlight was streaming down from somewhere up high. There were also plants and flowers everywhere.
“Karin, take us to floor seventy four,” said the woman. The floor beneath us started floating up. The woman turned to me,” What do you think of my library?”
“It’s really cool, but aren’t you worried that the water will splash onto the books?” I asked.
“Naw, I’ve got an AI who can basically do anything. She protects the books. Got any other questions?” She replied.
“How many books are here?” I asked
“About sixty four million nine hundred thirty two thousand four hundred fourty. That’s half the books on my home planet. I don’t think that the ratio of novels to other books is exactly one to one though, but it’s close enough, the other sixty four million nine hundred thirty two thousand four hundred forty books were in the other hallway. These are all novels, the other books include mangas, picture books, etcetera.”
“Wow… do you have any movies or TV shows?” I asked.
“Yes, I have four libraries, the two for books that have connected universes, which I just told you about, then we have the television library, and my universe’s history library. It’s pretty popular amongst the main characters of all these universes,” She explained.
“Wait, what do you mean books that have universes connected?” I asked.
“Look at all of those books,” she paused, “each of them has a story, a true story. That is how universes got created. Once you start to write, a universe is born. I wrote your book. Without knowing what I was doing, I created a universe where humans were supposed to die. Mankind was supposed to be enslaved by chimeras. They would be the workforce of space, hence the name ‘Into the Galaxy,’ You were supposed to die and become a robot that could never break apart. You’re not though. I saved you.”
The platforms stopped moving. They had landed on a sort of landing pad on a high up floor. “What do you mean?” I asked as the woman led me along the shelves. She remained silent. She pulled a book off of a shelf. The cover read “Into The Galaxy,” with a bunch of robot parts that I recognized. For the author’s name, there was “Zoe O’Bryan.” She handed me the book.
“Try to open that book to the last page,” the woman instructed. I did. It wouldn’t budge. It only went about 20 pages in. It wouldn’t open any further.
“Why…?” I started to ask.
“It’s in your future. As days go by, more pages will be unlocked. You can read what was supposed to happen to you there. That’s the story I wrote of you. That book is the reason the chimeras attacked. That is the reason you built the robots. That is the reason the parts exist. That is the reason you exist,” she said. I looked at the book. While skimming it, I found everything that had happened before she showed up. Everything, including my emotions was true.
The only difference was that in chapter 6, there was no her. I died. When I woke up a day later, I was in a heap of human bodies,and I had become something similar to a speedbot. One of the aliens had found me in the pile and put me with all the robot parts they found on the battlefield. They had everything we had. Humans were being enslaved. I had to act like scrap metal… that was it so far.
