Realms Alight : Aria's Odyssey Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Amulet's Discovery

In the calm village of Oakridge located in the middle of lush forests, Aria, a bright and spirited apprentice to the revered healer, gets a small vacation from her master. She decides to use it by walking outside and going into the woods. She stumbles upon an ancient amulet. Its pulsating glow captivates her, whispering secrets of forgotten worlds. Unaware of its deep significance, she wears it away, a mysterious treasure in her possession.

Chapter 2: Portal to the Unknown Realm

The dormant amulet, connected with the reality and the dreamlands. and was untouched for ages, suddenly ignites with a blinding luminosity, surrounding Aria in a fascinating vortex. Hurtling through a cosmic whirlwind, she emerges in an otherworldly realm—a breathtaking tapestry of floating islands adorned with iridescent flora and fantastical creatures. Surprisingly, the amulet gives her a blue armor. In the midst of this landscape, she encounters Quill, a curious entity, whose playful attitude belies his ancient wisdom. Quill doesn't have a face and was blue to gray. The bond between them formed quickly as Quill becomes both her confidant and guide through the bewildering views of this new place.

Chapter 3: A Multiverse of Bonds and Battles

While they were travelling around, Aria asks Quill what this place is. Quill answered :

"These lands are beyond fiction. Being beyond fiction is how we were written. But not everyone can be beyond fiction. We are powerful enough to be. Our plot is going on beyond fiction, since our writer is real and can write us like this. From here, you can reach any fictional verse."

While travelling, they meet a cosmic monster made out of dark energy. He calls himself “The Cosmic Darkness”. He didn't have an actual shape, he was a polymorph and he was fast. Aria thinks that it could be a good oppurtinity to see if her new armor has powers. She quickly asks Quill if it has some, but Quill couldn’t answer the question because the monster catches Aria. The monster says that he was aiming to become stronger by absorbing Aria and Quill. But right after that, Quill says that the armor can absorb the powers of other entities. Aria absorbs the power of the monster In the first try. She then quickly jumps away. She thinks that the power could’ve given her a boost in physical strength, so she punches the cosmic entity. After doing that, she hurts the monster with the punch. Seeing this, she starts punching continuously, killing the entity with its own energy. Quill says that the armor of the “Ancient Amulet” is Boundless when absorbing power.

Chapter 4: The real powers of the 'Ancient Amulet'

Quill continues to explain how the 'Ancient Amulet' works while they are walking Ion the path made for travelling between universes. He says;

“The Ancient Amulet is actually called 'The Astrorune' and It was made by an boundless and Omnipotent entity named as 'Omnix'.”

He then explains that there were even more powerful entities than Omnix and one of them killed Omnix. Nobody ever knew how the creature killed Omnix since he even made a amulet that was capable of absorbing the powers of entities boundlessly. But Quill has his own theory about the Incident. His theory was that: Omnix wasn’t omnipresent, the cosmic entity was able to kill Omnix with his speed. He says that he thinks Aria should be the one to defeat the entity. He adds:

“Don’t ever think going back home now. Those entities will follow your power.”

Chapter 5: Journey to Barteria

Aria and Quill continue to walk, but Aria doesn't know where they were going. Aria asks Quill:

“Where are we going?”

Quill replies:

“Since you are the new owner of The Astrorune, I want you to meet someone.”

After walking for 5 minutes straight in silence, Quill shouts: “Here we are!”

Aria looks at Quill jumping to a human sized ball which was actually a universe. Aria was able to breathe in space because of Amulet’s power. After some looking, Aria jumps there too, seeing the ball get bigger as she jumped inside. While they were at the space, Quill locates a planet named as 'Barteria'. After that, Quill opens a wormhole to Barteria, shocking Aria. Quill explains that opening wormholes is common so Aria will see a lot of wormholes. Aria who was still in shock, confirms with a nod. They both enter the wormhole and go to Barteria.

Chapter 6: A new ally.

After arriving at Barteria, Aria asks Quill why they are there. Quill explains that Omnix loved Barteria and they came there to meet Yuzfon, whose grand-grand-grand father was Omnix’s friend. And, he adds that Yuzfon always says that he cant find the Astrorune but knows some things about it, like how to use it properly. Quill says that he hasn’t gone there for a long time but he adds that he knows where Yuzfon lives. Even If the planet looks like it’s only rock without anything else, there were some technology like 3D maps to show which city they were in. Quill says that Yuzfon always stays at Apexia, a big city at Barteria. After looking at the map, they see that they are in “Merchropolis” which was a a city far away from Apexia.

Aria asks:

“Hey Quill, why won’t you open a wormhole?”

Quill replies, “Well I don’t really think that is a good idea. If I do that, it could be dangerous since the city is not that far. I can hurt the space-time of this universe if i do that.”

After thinking a little, Aria asks how Bartelianst travel from city to city.

Quill says, “They use vehicles made out of energy but it can melt normal humans. So we can’t use that travelling method.”

Aria thinks again and replies, “I have an armor which was given to me by an Ancient Amulet named Astrorune which was made by an Omnipotent Entity, what could go wrong?”

Quill then agrees and goes to ask a Barterian if he can buy a vehicle from him. The Barterian agrees for the price of pure energy. Quill says he can give some pure energy. He quickly takes some pure heat energy from space using a little wormhole and puts it Into a box that is made out of Aurorium which Is a Bartellian special metal. Then buys the car.

Quill tells Aria to hop in the vehicle as Aria carefully sits in. Quill starts to drive the vehicle with the help of the 3D map. While Aria is looking outside to see the beautiful orange moon of Barteria. Quill sees her looking at the moon and starts explaining that the moon of Barteria has this orange color just like the sun of it. After a boring and long journey, they arrive at Apexia and find Yuzfon there quickly. Quill asks Yuzfon’s bodyguards if they can talk with Yuzfon. Yuzfon’s bodyguards let Aria and Quill talk with Yuzfon. Aria gets surprised by how Yuzfon looks. Aria thought of Yuzfon like a cosmic entity but he looked like everybody else. So he was orange with so much flesh in his body.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

They sit along with Yuzfon. Quill asks if Yuzfon can maybe teach Aria about the Amulet more than he himself can. Yuzfon accepts and asks what does Aria want to know about it. While Quill was gonna say, Aria jumps and asks if she can use the energy she absorbed in better ways than only a physical strenght buff. Yuzfon sits up, yawns and starts talking:

“I was searching for that amulet. I'm surprised you have it. But now that uou have it, I should answer your question. You can use this energy to make things, shoot beams and anything like that. Maybe you can even trade it for other things. That’s up to you.”

Quill says, “Thank you Yuzfon. Thats all we wanted to know. Aria should train now." and stands up.

But before they leave Aria asks“Is there a way we can communicate with you if we need to ask anything, Yuzfon? it's not easy to come all this way to just ask you one question."

Yuzfon thinks a bit and gives Aria a sphere before replying; “You can use this sphere to call me. Just slowly hit it 2 times", giving Aria the sphere. Aria and Quill thank to Yuzfon once again and leave.

Chapter 7: Long Way

After leaving that place, they enter a wormhole Quill opens to a planet in another omniverse. Quill explains that they will train with monsters there if they can find one.

Aria surprisedly asks, “You have a farm of cosmic monsters?”

Quill says that they will walk with hope of finding a powerful monster, preferably one that has a direct connection with some kind of powerful energy source. After they walk for 10 minutes without seeing one, Quill says “It’s boring. Let’s try to find a new planet fillled with monsters.” Aria, who was bored, agrees with Quill and asks “How will we find such powerful monsters in those planets?”

Quill opens another wormhole, to a new rocky planet in a universe that is directly connected with the lands beyond fiction.

Aria asks, “Why did we come here? This place looks no diferrent.”

Quill replies, “This time, this universe is directly connected with the lands beyond fiction. There must be some powerful entities here.”

They start searching for a monster there. After some time walking, Aria loses her hope of finding a monster. Quill tries to sense a presence near them but he can’t sense any other than them. Quill loses his hope to find a monster too. Just at the time Quill raises his hands to open a wormhole, a big monster comes out of nowhere to grab Quill using his fingers. At first, Aria looks at the monster with a surprised expression. Then, she punches the monster with all of her power.

After punching, she sees that her punches don’t even affect the monster. The monster looks down, grabs Aria, and pulls her up. After he takes Quill and Aria near each other,

Aria quietly asks, “How couldn’t you sense this monster?”

Quill replies, “I don’t know. I think his dimensionality was higher than mine. He may be able to change his dimensionality and was 5 dimensional while I was trying to sense a presence.”

Aria thinks about that maybe she can make a sword out of dark energy she absorbed before to cut the monsters hands. While that was happening, the monster was thinking of what to do. Knowing this was her chance, she tried to sense the dark energy inside her armor. She closed her eyes, thought about dark energy and made a sword in her imagination; moving her arms, designing a sword. She feels it, the dark energy! She quickly cuts the inside of the hand of the monster, escaping from the monsters hand. She throws her sword to the other hand of the monster, making the monster drop Quill.

Aria makes another sword out of dark energy. While she thinks of where to throw the sword to, the monster throws a giant punch at the ground. Quill grabs the arm of Aria and dashes back. Quill quickly makes a sword out of dark energy, just like Aria did. Just as Aria is saying “I didn’t know you could do such a thing-” the monster throws another devastating attack. Both Quill and Aria gets thrown far back but both Aria and Quill don’t take damage. Aria does get surprised before remembering she had an armor. While she was thinking that, the monster realizes that he can’t deal damage to Aria easily, he launches his strongest attack to break the planet in half. Right in that moment, Aria makes a new sword but before she can even use it, Quill teleports them both away. Aria, who is surprised, asks Quill angrily why would he do such a thing.

Quill calmly replies, “We weren’t even match for him. It was better for us to teleport away.”

Aria asks, “How will I train my power now? We lost a really good monster for training!”

Quill replies, “You meant dying?”

After this answer, Aria stops talking, being unsatisfied and sad. After some time travelling, they find the perfect place for resting a bit. Before Quill teleports seats, Aria makes them from energy. Quill understands that Aria wants to train her power. To make Aria happy, he tells Aria that they can find a new area and monsters to train with. Even if only a little, it makes Aria happy.

Aria asks Quill “How do you control your powers too easily?”

Quill waits a little and replies, “It’s not easy... I worked hard. I mean when I was first born of energy. A cosmic being made me to help him take over the lands beyond fiction. He was really strong, but not enogh to pass the guardians beyond the fiction. He taught me before I escaped. But I would’ve never learned how to use my powers if someone else made me. He made me grow up, always wanting and getting more power. I never tried to get more powerful after I escaped from him.”

After listening, Aria replies: “If we can find a monster that can help me train, I wanna see your true potential.”

Quill says, “M-maybe later.”

Aria gets confused but doesnt ask further as she sits. After some silent time, she gets sleepy and drifts into sleep. When she wakes up, she sees Quill awake meditating. She asks Quill if he didn’t sleep all night and why he is meditating.

Quill replies, “I don’t sleep. My body doesn’t need that. I already have infinite stamina and I meditate so my power can be controlled. I don’t want to lose my power. That’s why I meditate in my free time.”

After some silence, Aria asks where they will go.

Quill replies, “Nowhere, we are gonna wander this planet to find monsters. This planet looks perfect for monsters with normal to great powers.”

Quill raises his hands to the sky, trying to feel a monster.

After some time, he shouts, “I found it!”

He adds that this monster will be a great challenge for them, but working together, they can win against it. Aria accepts all excited. Aria asks if they will teleport or travel manually. Quill tells her they will travel manually to avoid any risks. They start going there. When they arrive there, they hide behind a rock to make a plan. Aria, who is still excited wants to attack the monster as soon as possible and asks Quill what the plan is.

Quill says, “You will distract him with your swords while I do a considerable amount of damage. Then, you will fire a beam of dark energy with the energy you got from the monster you first fought. Be careful. Dark energy is powerful, especially when there is a lot of it.”

Aria nods her head, agreeing with the plan.

She quickly makes little swords with her hands and throws them at the back of the giant monster. The monster quickly stops destroying the empty plain and starts running towards Aria. While this is happening, Quill goes behind the monster to not be seen, but the monster opens the eye on his back and sees Quill. Quill gets surprised encountring this and stops moving towards to monster. The monster suddenly stops to catch both of them extending his arms. The monster catches both of them before Aria cuts both of the hands of the monster with her swords. The monster screams before regenerating and makes limbs at his back to reach Aria and Quill from underground.

Aria asks, “Why didn’t it extended his arm at first?”

Quill replies “Problably because it thought we could have dodged it. But it had no choice when it saw me. Whatever. Focus!”

Quill sighs, finally having to show some real power since he has no choice. He half opens his hand to charge an explosion as strong as a hypernova, planing on killing the monster and protecting both himself and Aria with a forcefield but as he charges up the explosion, the floor begins shaking and the part where Aria is falls to ground. Then, a big tentacle grabs the monster, kills it and takes the dead body to the underground. Aria watches this shocked, thinking that it wouldn’t be easy to defeat the monster they fought already but the owner of the tentacle was on a whole another level, it killed the monster with ease!

Aria looks at the broken floor with a shocked expression on her face. She is shocked for some time, surprised that something like that happened.

Quill says, “We need to find what did that as soon as possible.”

Aria gets even more shocked after hearing this.

Aria asks, “Are you out of your mind? We will get killed without even having a chance!”

Quill stays silent for a moment thinking his answer until he finally speaks:

“Uh... uhhh... t-trust me we can... We uh have the potential!”

Aria sighs and says, “Give me 3 reasons why we should find it again?”

Quill replies, “Ok but I’m gonna tell you one singular reason enough for us to: I sensed a energy In that monster. It was very familiar. I can only remember about that energy Is that it comes from somewhere I know and somewhere that won’t hurt us. We need to find them to get some help in training you, get more information on your amulet and renew my memory.”

Aria thinks a little and then says, “Where do we go then?” with the relief of the things Quill said. Quill starts tracing the energy underground to find where it went. Quill walks and Aria follows though the way. Quill says “It ends here. But... It can’t be. It teleported. I think i was right."
