The Multiverse, as we all know, is a spiraling, infinite series of bubbles, worlds, realms, seeds, whatever you want to call them, dancing in the void. Every world has it's own rules, it's own societies, technologies, species, methods of action. Some have humans, some do not. Some have technology, some have magic, and some have both. They are infinite in number and variety.
And that number is always growing. Ever so rarely, perhaps once in a thousand eons, a new world is born.
It starts with earth.
A storm of asteroids, for seemingly no reason, smash into one another, hundreds, thousands of times. Hurtling through nothingness, they roughly shape into a colossal sphere.
It starts with fire.
Out of nowhere springs a great orb of fire, blazing into existence, a pinpoint of light spanning across half of the existing sphere. As if imitating the great sphere, small pinpoints at the edge of the nothingness spring into being, their starlight bursting free.
It starts with wind.
From within the crevices of the sphere, breath releases, reaching an arbitrary limit before halting, tinting blue. Dust storms rage across the surface, smoothing everything; Here be hill, here be mountain, here be plains.
It starts with water.
The sky rumbles, and clouds swell from nothing, bringing an endless rain upon the world. Oceans raise, grass grows, great trees spring from the ground.
It starts with life.
The other worlds give their gifts to this one; Random beings, from random places, suddenly are torn from their homes, and placed in this new world, to be the utmost ancestors of this world, bringing with them their culture, magic, technology, philosophies, and religion. Birds fly, horses run, wolves hunt, the world is alive.
And then comes the first word, the first sentence.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! WHERE THE HELL AM I?!"
(( The whole idea of the thing is, is that a new world is born, and it sort of steals beings and lifeforms from other worlds; so people can come from where or whenever. You can have an android hacker, or an elven magic user. Use any character you want! Feel free to post them in the 'Character Database'. And, if you can't think of a way to introduce your character, just have them show up in a flash of light! That's how this world will be for the next few weeks. ))

The Beginning
Poking her head from out of the tree she found herself mysteriously sitting in, Melu blinked down at the source of the voice. What in the name of the stars in the sky was that creature doing upside-down? The tiny girl considered this for a moment, her short, brown hair falling down around her round, dark face like a curtain. Come to think of it, why was her magical whistle floating? Oh. Unwinding her legs from the branch she was attached to, Melu tumbled to the ground in a heap.
"...."
That could have gone better. If only the nice tall man was here to make her fly down, of Lutha or her Daddy. They would have gotten her safely out of the tree. Getting sorely to her feet, Melu flattened out her shirt and brushed the spare leaves off of it.
"U-um, mister! Mister! You shouldn't use words like that. Mama is always saying that they are bad words and only bad people can use bad words."

"U-um, mister! Mister! You shouldn't use words like that. Mama is always saying that they are bad words and only bad people can use bad words."
The Beginning
Athena looked to the girl, gripping her silver staff tightly.
"I'm not a mister!" She said, her eyebrows meeting in anger. "I'm a miss! A girl."
She sighed, and sat down suddenly, setting the staff in her lap and frowning. "And I'm lost, I guess."

The Beginning
Melu walked over to the lady, curious. What a strange person.
"My family is lost, too, mister. Oooh, you have a magic stick, too!! Mister Lutha has one of those! Only, his isn't all shiny. What do you do with it? How do you keep it so shiny? Where did you get it? What's it made out of? Do you like flowers? I like flowers. They are my favorite thing, besides Mama's cooking."
The little girl beamed at the thought of Mama's cookies and dropped the large bag she always carried around with her. Did she still have some left? She hadn't eaten any since she had gotten them, so they should still be fine. Unfortunately, the child was in for quite a surprise.
"Oh no! My cookies are all gone! They got replaced with dust!"

The Beginning
"Those are crumbs, girl." Athena said, smiling. "You must have landed on the bag when you fell. You wanna see what I can do with my stick? I can show you!" She grinned, and stood up, holding the staff perfectly steady. It seemed to shimmer, and in a moment, the cookies were whole again, brought back from the past into the present.
"Ta-da!" She said, smiling widely. "I'm Athena."
"Ta-da!" She said, smiling widely. "I'm Athena."
The Beginning
"Stars above, you're a cookie mage!!"
Melu was more impressed than that one time when she had met that hero man who got them to the giant fly castle, even after something had happened that made Lutha cover her eyes. How lucky for her to have met such a person!
"Athena the cookie mage! Wow!"

The Beginning
"I'm, uh, I'm not a cookie mage. I can do that with everything. I'm just a . . .normal mage? Wait, I'm a mage? I thought I was a one-trick pony." Athena said to Melu- At least it was to Melu at the start of the sentence; The rest was to herself.
The Beginning
Melu's eyes glittered as she heard this.
"Really?! You're a pony?! I've never seen one before!! Can I see, can I see, can I see?!"
This was her one chance! Lutha would never, ever let her be around a pony, since he thought everything was dangerous. Today was the day that she, Melu, would get to see her very first pony.

The Beginning
"No, uh, that was just a saying. I'm not really a pony. That saying just means I can do one thing. I'm not really a mage, I just know how to mess with time." Athena babbled, not sure how to explain to this girl that she's not equine at all.
The Beginning
"B-but....but...you said...you said that you were a pony."
Melu looked like she was about to burst into tears. Just like that, her hopes of meeting a pony were smashed up into little pieces.

The Beginning
"Well, uhm. Uh. I KNOW. We have a quest! We can go find a pony! Wanna come help me on my quest?" Athena said, raising her staff into the sky.
The Beginning
"What's a quest?"
Already, Melu had brightened up and returned to her typical manner of finding out how the world works.
