They had a rock collection which was currently the shape of a castle with many, many doors, and nestled behind each door was dimension. It was listed this way because that was the way that it made sense, with no thought outside of the spire of influence. It was one of the most powerful creatures to ever exist. It wasn't vanity, it was just facts.
They fix on everything in every format of reality, They exist in a state of flux. They are present in every reality and It had the force of all of those dimensions layered in on itself making it an Uber-dense structure. There were only duplicates of him when they wanted them to be.
It was a they for they were not a he or she. They are one of a kind. Demos Can't go into dimensions because the ground cracks under the weight of all those dimensions. They had a sock collection that was a room. They are in a room with piles of socks, there barely was a walkway but they were more likely to lay on the mound of socks. They loved their Miss Mashed Socks. A lot of dimensions were discovered in what a sock is. Demos would take just one sock from the dryer, when this happens, take it as a blessing that such a powerful creature is looking at your life.
There were a lot of angels hanging around, their mannequin-like bodies, skin like porcelain, In a completely metaphorical way. He was simultaneously drinking a cup of tea, hunting for a new sock, just waiting for the dryer to be done upstairs intently into that dimension and there was a crack! And a purple crackle and pop one of the doors had flown off its hinges. The car was spinning out of control. When the car stops spinning they must have seen it demos because they hit the gas ramming into a door that was previously shut. It cracked open and they were in the next dimension.
Demos had tried two things and only succeeded in one. First, they put environmental controls on the bodies that were with the dimensional wall, which succeeded then They physically tried to grab the car by the driver side door, but the door ripped off of its hinges, driver and rear driver side door. Ripped up and shredded by their claws and ‘Oh my! That is an arm right there.’

They drove through the portal, and all of the humans were screaming. Then they were in the hallway made of one stone of each type from every universe. It was a beautiful place not that they noticed it, all they noticed was the screams of all of the inhabitants of the car, even the man who stared at it. What they did notice was the purple monster that was now chasing them. The screams reached a higher pitch.
The monster wasn’t a monster but something scarier than that. It was the embodiment of dimensions. It was huge, a tall beast with legs like a rabbit, and a torso like a human but with jutting hip and shoulder bones. Arms that end in squid tentacles, a face like a dolphin, and a catfish mustache with ears the shape of trombones. A tail like a lion with blue fur at the tip and a blue goatee.
And it was doing something very complicated on very short notice, environmental controls were needed to control the damage that was about to happen. At best they die from the germs of the planet they land themselves in too. Worst they kill off the planet's inhabitants.
It grabbed at the front driver-side door the claws cut through metal like butter the front and back doors of the car were ripping it off. There was a fountain of blood painting the walls as The door in the hallway opened by a speeding car and they drove through the door. Into the wild of a new world, one they had never seen or heard of before. The plants looked different and the dirt was different though they didn’t know why. The shock of hitting the dimensions wall had them all pass out.
“That was very weird, what am I going to do with these doors,” said the purple embodiment of dimensions “it that an arm?”
“Angel, I need to send a message to the other guardians” They pointed to the first angel in the row.
The creature that looked more like a mannequin moved, its body shape was very similar to a human's, and it was slightly translucent its white marble skin reflected light. Its face is covered in eyes. Three rows of eyes, three, two, three. The mouth was creepily normal for a human. It has two tails that twist around each other. It looked like a double helix.
The wings look like feathers but their texture is similar to porcelain. It sounded like wind chimes when the wings moved, the halo was over its head, and there was one on its ankle
and one on the opposite wrist the halos never touched to skin.
There was a little wooden door where the stomach was supposed to be.
“I need you to follow that car.” They pointed to the second angel
“I need you to go set up a meeting,” They pointed to the third angel.
There was a flutter of wings, and the room was empty except for Demos. They were alone. They had done just barely enough, the environmental controls, anything in that car had environmental controls, no inter-dimensional plague ships on his watch. It was a good thing that they couldn’t get sick. There were a lot of angels hanging around. Maybe they know something it does not. They are eerily good at knowing when a dimensional split is coming. Well, it is their breeding ground. There are only so many angels and they can only breed in the split of dimensions.

There were things afoot And they need answers now. The four of them did not meet lightly. Their Sheer Collective mass was something to think about. not that it mattered in the void in between.
Time was not on their side. Things need to be fixed as soon as possible. But they would not speed anything up.
Space was livid and matter was close behind them.
Dimension was confused as there were ways to travel from one dimension to the other but they had never thought to use an excess of souls to fling oneself to the other avatar of one's own soul.
Let us back up a bit and see this as a whole.
In the spaces between Dimension, outside of time, and where space and matter were played things are where we stand or more Accurately Float. This was the only place that they could meet except for the very first dimension but they didn't want to disturb the first dimension as it had a very good job to do distributing souls. The pure mass of the beings that floated in The Between Space all four of their presence on a dimension besides the first dimension would cause a crushing accident even in the fast void of space their presence would cause a super black hole that would devour the entire universe so they stayed in the void in between.
The entity of time, the very guardian of time, the embodiment of time. They used the name that was the very first iteration of the word time when Mortal creatures finally understood the movement of time. Tia was what they called themselves. In a language far before writing in one of the very first dimensions, this was the word for time. Tia likes the ring of it. Tia used an avatar of a tree, (as a Guardian they can look like anything thing they want) to express themselves, trees themselves were not as old as time, Not even the first of the plants but when they came into being Tia like the metaphor. Roots grow into every dimension and branch off into the future. Of course, they were not an ordinary-looking tree not that they had a face and read it in the wood or anything as expressive as that. But each limb of their branches was a different type of tree. The trunk was a mismatch of different kinds of barks. In the roots though unseen would be incomprehensible to even the strongest computers.
Tia Oddly enough did not believe in a strict timeline, Did not believe in Canon events, They could see similarities through the dimensions and plants. History did tend to repeat itself After all but just because a planet or civilization has reached a certain level of civilization does not mean they will act exactly the same as another Civilization of the same level. What Tia did believe in was that one should only mess with the timeline of one's own dimension. Not that they liked time travelers in any dimension but such things happen as anomalies. Sometimes it would get so convoluted that they would have to prune a branch. That was rare and far in between.
Space on the other hand did not have a name as they saw no point in it. They knew who they were anyone important enough to know of their existence would know who they were therefore there was no point. They were a little bit more fluid with their avatar as well, In general, they like the fluid nature of a cat, Sometimes on the other hand they enjoyed being a jellyfish. Sometimes they were just an outline of the feel of everything but what you were looking at.
Embodiment of space the entity of space, the guardian of space. They are An entity of void They built the space of an ultimate size. Expanding far beyond the eye can see, Even with the greatest machines, And they did it over and over again every time a dimension split apart. What has been happening less and less nowadays so less is relative to a being that is as older As the very first split in dimensions. In the first universe where there was no time no space no matter only a great mass of potential energy. That wondered that had thoughts that couldn't make up its own mind and then the 1st grade split happened. The second dimension was still raw, still new but with new things it had space it had matter it had time and to make that split dimensions were born.
Demos the guardian of dimensions the embodiment of dimensions and the entity of the mansions, Who is the oldest of them for their birth caused them to be realized so very close in time. Demos was the first to grab a name and the first to use it. When there are so many potential versions of oneself you need a way to keep track even if it's just for yourself. So Demos was the first thing to ever be named. In their very nature was duality, when one can split and reemerge at any time, one can end up talking to oneself a fair deal. They had changed their form many times. Currently, the Avatar they were wearing was a Tall purple bipedal
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
The guardian of the matter the embodiment of matter the entity of matter Very much was a friend of space they went hand in hand most of the time, You can't see the vastness of space without some matter for reference size. Matter liked the form of a stone cat, Representing the fluidity and the weight of matter, Currently, they were in the form of an emerald cat, The gem shining in the non-light. There were no stars in the in-between, There also was no physics, No math that could be applied. They had no problem seeing the light but they gave off themselves like deep-water fish was beautiful. They were from before there was light before there was darkness only when they existed. Make it too because I've never been brought to their attention that there was an opportunity for them not to be able to see. Matter was the first to discover light and darkness in chemical reactions. They were in love with the scientific method. They were coming around to having a name, They were experimenting with Mat short for matter. Not Matt but Mat because it split the word right done the middle. They weren't sure if they liked it or not.
There was The First One, Demos, Tia, Space and Mat. Then there were the Angels. In the second wave of life they in themselves were unique throughout the multiverse. They were a creature that was merely a core with no soul. When they died there was no receipt there was no soul there was no afterlife. They have a rather unique mating ritual as well, They can only meet within a universe that has been freshly split, Using the souls of all the creatures that live there. They were unique bill being but they were useful as they were able to go through dimensional walls without the usual 2 methods. They were like white blood cells going through the cell wall membrane to get to where they needed to go. They were the key way that God's talked to each other. Angel means messenger and that's what they are.
The way that souls went through dimensions was one of two ways. One: you died and your soul hit the dimensional bearer and was Separated into the receipt, and soul, the receipt was the part of you that when into the afterlife, The full contribution of your entire life you're good you're bad you're Gray dealings in between. Second was the soul, the spark of life, The blueprint you were started with and built off of, the spark is returned to the first dimension where it is returned to the core of your being. The very fire where the spark came from the soul enriches the core and evolves it further therefore spitting out more sparks that seed the dimensions as they go easily through the dimensional walls like floating pollen into waning vessels. The core may be the same for Several souls but no soul is completely the same though they are very similar. The core is always evolving with the receiving of souls that had an interesting life. In the first dimension, there are very many cores. Each one of these cores Spewing forth thousands of souls that seed the dimensions with life. Life that has been touched with divinity mutates these cores to a high degree. They provide the new sparks with talent meaning talent of reflection of the divinity that had been taught to their soul. This is not always a good thing and can render the core inert and unable to unite new sparks of souls.
The second way that one can travel through the dimensions is simple but yet more complicated.
What happens is the soul is separated from the body but not split into the receipt and soul and hits the dimensional wall of a different dimension and a copy of their body is distributed to another dimension but with the rules of the dimension engraved into the body. Hence stopping what could be considered a plague ship. The rules of one dimension never fully align with the rules of another dimension even sister dimensions watch split from the same dimension like an amoeba are slightly different as the split of a universe only happens when the God of said dimension has an impasse and being omnipotent almighty and omnipresent means that the God cannot be wrong which leads to dimension split of binaries 1 plus 1 negative, or A and 1, or 0 or 1. However, you want to represent or however, you want to do the math. Sometimes the original body is obliterated othertimes the original body is in a coma, Where the soul in the mind is in the dimension that they traveled to.
The problem that they are facing at the moment all four gods guardians first and last of their kind Is that the dimensional travel that happened was not one of the two options. This had never happened before, Through another dimension was the receipt of the soul and the body unchanged. Well, that's not 100% true. A huge amount of souls split with the receipt but only the receipts went through the dimensional wall and no souls went back to their cores. As far as they could tell the excess souls were connected to one of the dimensional travelers. In and of itself a soul that has other souls compounded on and increasing the soul's mass was an extremely dangerous thing and this is compounded by it going into a dimension that possibly could not support it with its base rules. This was a powder Keg that could go out of hand very easily. Due to the forceful nature of how the dimensional wall was breached there was what only could be called a doorway That could only be shot by the same individuals who walked through it and must walk back the other way. The only way to put it was The pink crystalline structures were akin to blood clots stopping the dimensions from bleeding into each other. But like blood clots, they were frail. Even now as Demos was waiting for his fellow compatriots to talk over he had a small portion of himself just one sliver of dimension standing in the doorway of the pink crystalline structure. He could not step through the doorway as that would completely destabilize the entire dimension due to his mass. But he could stop other foolish humans and other creatures from stepping through. Even something as small as a fly, an Ant, or a virus Would be devastating to be on the other side of the dimension.
“What are we going to do about it?” said Mat, twitching their green diamond tail. It glittered in the not-light of the in-between. The opal eyes narrowed as they looked at their companions.
“This is very hard as even going over to look would mean the death of that world if not the solar system, if we are lucky, remember what happened to dimension 4? That super black hole Destroyed the whole universe and then it exploded. We can't put our foot on the scale here.” Space was not one to minced words. They were very sour about Dimension 4, they had a lot of things going on here. It was billions of years ago but for an immortal who has been there since the beginning, someone who was on a first-name basis with time themselves, it was just a matter of was. Topics didn’t go hazy with time because they were untouched by time.
“But a soul that can ever expand without any of the natural limiting factors would be catastrophic, Worst case scenario it gets big enough that it can swallow a God, and then who knows what that will do to the dimensional fabric? Will it stop at one God? What happens if it gets to the first dimension what will it do with all those cores? We Will survive but I think we will be the only things that will.” Demos said, their purple tentacle-like hands waving back and forth. Their face was the cross of a dolphin and a horse, was showing worry. Their eyes were glittering yellow, like thousands of stars. Their voice was soft and calm even as they waved their hands. Their voice is always calm and measured it reminded people who heard of it of a librarian.
“Why do you think that we will survive? Isn't it a danger to us as well? If it can potentially swallow gods can it swallow concepts? Are we really safe? This could be the potential end of everything. We already know that cores can directly interact with souls we see this in the angels so it's very possible that vice versa will apply as well, And even if the offender does die his warp soul could completely taint and crack its original core.” Tia said in their way, one would look at a leaf and remember what was said but there was no moment where they talked. What they said was always aflashbackk. It was quite disorienting for anyone who hadn't experienced it before to find all three of the others had known this quirk for as long as they had known Tia. Tia wasn’t one to emote, but their leaves blew in a wind that wasn’t there in the in-between.
“We haven't had a cracked core in a long time, It's gets weird when souls come from a cracked core, In the end, we just end up destroying them because there's no good that can come from them anymore,” Demos said well considering what Tina had said, a cracked core was something to be sad over, all the potential, the history of lives it had lived, just gone because of one lifetime. Demos who saw all the possibilities of one core through the souls spark that they produced.
“Why don't we just pull the trigger and destroy this world or solar system or possibly dimension just to solve ourselves this issue?” Mat said they were of a different mind than Space when it came to the matter of destruction, The colliding of matter is what starts new elements. People are no different them rocks to them. The world and all the people on it are just elements on the periodic table. Their cat-like ears were pulled back in annoyance. The light from their uranium teeth glowed with indifference to suffering.
“Besides that angering a lot of people, We can't do it while he's in this dimension, it has a strict in and out policy. One soul spark comes in then one soul and receipt comes out, no exceptions. It is just not built for it. They would not even be able to separate the soul and receipt. And an untethered soul that still has a receipt can do a lot of damage, especially from a soul with unlimited growth potential.” Space said their spongy jellyfish-like body flowing back and forth. It was hard to show anger looking like a jellyfish but Space was giving it a good go.
“There were four of them in the car. But I think… well… I know that I hurt one of them pretty bad.” Demos said sounding small as they still remembered the feel of the blood on their hands.
“How bad?” all of them looked at Demos, waiting as the tall purple guardian seemed to shrink in on themselves. Demos didn’t like to hurt others and tried not to step on other's toes or like appendages.
Demos was about to speak, when an angel took the opportunity to deliver something that was lost by a human recently, wanting to be helpful and that they didn’t want to be holding it any longer. It was creeping them out.
“That is an arm…” Space said, their body still and flashing several different colors. They desperately hoped that it was not their target as that would make things so much harder.
“Don’t humans need that, or am I thinking of lizards?” Mat mused, They spent most of their time dealing with rocks and minerals what grows off the land has Such a short life that's hard to pay attention to. Just to make one diamond the natural way is lifetimes past for any other creature that breathes.
“Technically they can survive that… if they get medical attention immediately…” Tia said, knowing that there are several ways to save a life but not all humans knew how, and then there was the fact “I wonder how hard they hit the dimensional wall I'd imagine that would hurt like heck.” they said as an afterthought.
“I don’t think this is the one, um it doesn’t have the stink of extra souls,” Demos said hoping that the other were not too mad at them.
“If we did black hole the planet…?” Mat said as they looked at their amber claws. Their glittering eyes were focused and their body looked relaxed, that was at least what they were going for.
“Souls are not affected by black holes, even the ones we make. They will just be stuck there for eternity. That is a long time to figure things out. The problem will still be there just waiting, eventually the universal will reset with new life or if we don’t blow the whole thing up, there will be more than one life-giving planets and they will have all the time in the world to get there.” Space was annoyed as Mat had the habit of trying to get their way even when they were wrong.
“I can not stop time indefinitely in any dimension, with one affecting the other dimensions, I am the stream the dimensions are the forest. I can not cut off the water to one without it affecting the others.” Tia answered the question that was going to be asked and answered before they had the chance to another quirk of their biology. The Tree did seem taller, Tia was the tallest of the four but it showed when they laid down the law.
“Well, that shoots that plan in the foot. Well, this is going to get messy, this one for the last ditch effort,” Demos said, with a sigh.
“What is that?” Mat asked Feigning disinterest in a very catlike way.
“We have to get the humans to turn on them and pull the one back through the hole they made in the wall,” Demos said with very little confidence.
