So far, humans on Earth have discovered many a great galaxies and clusters of galaxies. However, as we zoom out on the scale, we can see that that every single galaxy and so on revolves around a common centre.
This centre or so, has been called The Beginning by the ancients, and has been referred to for infinite number of cycles. What are cycles? According to Earth years and days , this 'cycles' would refer to about a trillion year. Using such a long period of time as a single unit for time is nothing to the inhabitants of The Beginning.
The Beginning is a fantastical location, known for an infinite number of cycles as the centre of all. It consists of numerous flouting pieces of land, chained together with . With a combination of magic, cultivation and supernatural beings, the entire place looks like a mash up of cultures and settings from various human novels, imaginations, myths and etcetera. Numerous flouting islands and pieces of continents are connected by large chains.
Legend has it The Beginning is where worlds and galaxies are formed. Recently, this theory has been proven by the birth of world-18920#. This world contained a planet called "Earth" and other multiverses with planets similar to Earth. However, there was a rule at The Beginning that states that every liveable planet must be spaced far away from one another such that inhabitants can never reach another liveable planet. After what happened to world-173# and world-174#, a rule to separate worlds was implemented.
Now, let us continue on our journey. Flying pass numerous small islands, we arrive at the centre of The Beginning, the capital land. We land on capital land and speed pass mansions and manors alike, passing by various types of residences and shop houses that sell anything and everything. Slowing down, we arrive at the heart of the capital land. An enormous structure looms ahead, it is in the shape of a mountain, pitch black as the sky-less sky above and with tints of metallic white here and there. The entrance is a large Chinese-styled gate with the words "Residence of Beginnings" edged in the plate on the gate. Even the gate of this structure is so peculiar, with the left side white and the right side black. There is two guards at the gate, both look like typical warriors with armour matching the side of the gate that they are standing at.
This structure, contains about more than a million rooms, hallways, ballrooms and so on. Most of the structure is above ground while the rest is underground, serving mainly as storage rooms. Moving up the stair case at the centre of the structure, known as the Never Ending Stairway, we arrive at a heavily guarded metal doorway. A look from the outside can already represent the importance of the resident in the room. The doorway was large, with double doors of colours black and white, similar to the entrance of this structure. The two peculiar guards were dressed in black robes, with a black veil covering their face. They held swords decorated with black gems and silver.
Opening the double doors, a dark room looms into view. The room is very large, looking more like a ballroom with black curtains drawn over the large glass windows that overlooked the other buildings. The room looked mostly empty, with some tables at the corners and black jade flasks with black roses and red lilies here and there. Adjusting to the darkness of the room, a velvet carpet comes into view. Symbols were embroiled with black and silver threads into the carpet. The carpet lead to a few steps at the other side of the room. There was a throne at the small stage like area after the little steps. The throne was made of black marble with gold veins, embedded with small diamonds and sapphires.
A tall figure sat on the throne, elbows resting on the armrests with interlocking fingers, there is a billowy black cape that spread along the floor. The figure's face was covered by a veil that sagged to its shoulders. The figure emitted an extreme and cold presence, giving of an unapproachable feeling. Jet black hair that ended in white tips was visibly trailing from under the veil and along the figure's back.
"Welcome~", the figure hissed in a malicious and hypnotising tone.
Wha-?.....Y-y-you...can...s-sense us? ...I-i-impossible....
The figure lifted it's hands and slowly, the veil was lifted from it's face. A pale white face revealed itself from under the veil. The face was that of a woman's, with cherry lips, a perfect nose, elegant eyes, lashes and brows. No emotion could be detected from her expressionless face. However, her lips soon curled into a malicious smile.
"You are finally here," there was a hint of boredom in her voice, "I have waited for quite a while."
"Since you are here, make yourself useful," she smiled in a genuine way.
With that, the view becomes a blur and only her last words could be heard echoing in the distance. The vision starts to spin and swirl into an empty void.....
