First bit of my story, it more or less just explains a few details and sets up the first chapter.
...You mean that you have really...you have acutely done something?
Yep!
Wow, I thought I would never live to see this day!
Thank you, your suport has help me get this done.
Ha, and I never considered that you would get even a paragraph written...
Yes we get the idea-
A sentence even.
Oh be quiet.
Prologue.
Somewhere in the depths of space. Date unknown.
Space, the first place people look at and think, “I want to go there.” And the last one they ever get to. But despite the many who stare at it, the stars themselves are usually quiet and empty.
“Remind why I let you drag me to these backward dimension again?” The silver figure hovered where nothing could live, and spoke with a nasal wine.
“It's a fascinating example of a curved parallel universe, so similar in ways and so different in others to our home. And so many crossovers!” This one was all pent up enthusiasm.
“Great, our people with hundreds of years of work break the boundaries of the universe and what to we get for all that trouble? Another set of world even more boring than earth. I've seen your little world now, can I go?”
“You haven't seen the surface yet!”
“Must I?”The voice exported suffering.
“Please! I'll do anything for you if you just stay for a bit!”
“Anything?”
“Yes!”
A sigh without air or mouth is hard to manage, but somehow the creature did it.”Fine.”
“Great! Now follow me!” They neared the blue green planet, white splodges of clouds drifted. An aura of shimmering scarlet orange played in the highest reaches of the atmosphere. “Look at the magic!”
“I am looking, and since I am here I might as well take an interest. What is a curved parallel universe?”
“Well, a normal PU is a world where almost everything is the same. In a CPU almost everything is different.”
“...Okay so name something that is the same as our earth.”
“Oddly enough literature is one of the main ones, Shakespeare, that sort of thing.”
“Huh you think it would be someone more interesting. What's different?”
“Oh the magic layer, a number of the inhabitants have got some amounts in their bodies and can use it to channel the magic down. Well until the magic in them gets used up, then they are just normal people again. There are people who can change into animals too, and a race of bat like people called Grycites, and plenty more!”
“I do not suppose anything went the other way? Something our earth got off them?”
“You know that ring of rock, the one called Stonehenge?”
“Yes?”
“Well how do you think they got them up on each other?”
“Oh there are all sorts of theories-”
“All wrong, it was anti gravity crystals.”
“They do not have them now.”
“Oh only one group of druids knew how to make them and they were all slaughtered by some king.” The beings floated though the magic layer, clouds and soon the surface and a city came into view. A funnel of the red tinted air connected to a thick tower in the center of a complex of buildings. People scurried between them.
“The University of magic and science! Both groups hate each other with a passion.”
Its companion was drifting toward a far prettier set of buildings, “What are they?”
“Oh that is where the government and king live.”
“I am going have a search inside it.”
“But-”
“I can see what ever you want after.”
“Alright...”
“Excellent.” The inside was dark, but lush. They ended in a office where a young man was failing to write.
“What are you doing now?”
“Watching.”
“Why?
“Shhh!”
