Entering Stories in All-Hallows-Eve

Storyverse the Haunted Script

Storyverse

And the Haunted Script

Hi, I'm Tessa Storm and I am currently in Atlantis. I'm with my friend William Greenhill in the middle of town. William is an Author. With the help of his binding rings (or in his case binding bracelets) he can use all the powers in all the stories he has ever written. Just like with my binding rings I can enter stories and manipulate the structure of Storyverse energy. The water was well under freezing. William didn't appear to be too bothered. I asked, "what is this crazy plan of yours which involves me coming down to Atlantis at 6:13 in the morning?". William explained "well, I need the help of a young Atlantian by the name of Terra. She lives in the 17th century but having a Space-Born sister she has lots of access to time travel". I queried "umm, what do you mean...? Space-Born sister?". Will answered "you've never heard of Space-Born's? One of only three stories to merge with this world in all of human history! Created by Ben Rillstone, widely regarded as the most selfless person in history. His selfless sacrifice throwing himself in front of a world crusher curse merged his world with ours". I commented "where is this Terra?". A light appeared in the Atlantian morning. Soon that light manifested into a young woman. She had the purple skin of an Atlantian. She had bright green hair and eyes like rubies. I asked "Terra, is that you?". She responded, "Terra Firestone, you must be Tessa. William is an old family friend of mine". Tessa asked, "what is your plan?". Blue light erupted from under my chest. My Ring of Everything wasn't cold but it was lighting up. Let me explain, in my first year of Storyverse School, my teacher Missy was trying to create a Ring of Everything. A device that grants you the power of all of fiction. Every story ever written. She managed it, but afterwards, my grandmother gave me the ring she had taken off of Shakespeare's daughter. The Forbidden Lord. The Temptress. The God Killer. The Forbidden One. The Forbidden Queen. Abagail Shakespeare herself. Long story short, Snow beet the crud out of her last year. Temperance (my grandmother) was the one who stopped her in the first place. That was about 600 years ago though. Getting back on topic, William Terra and I are walking through the deep underwater streets of Atlantis. We passed the sports stadium our frenemy Blade trashed with his stupid party last Halloween break. I queried "where are we going?". The water was cold on my skin. But eventually we got to where we were headed. Just a few meters away from the colossal stadium was the wax museum. I asked, "can I at least ask what we are looking for?". William answered "Simple, a statue of Missy Sword". Tessa asked, "how is that going to help?". Terra explained "I recently started a story named When; Night at the Creepy Museum. Its about higher and lower dimensions. You know about 2D and 3D! Well this story also has 4D and 5D. but the weird thing is the conflict is brought on by a being named an Animater. Animaters have the power to use their necklace to bring things to life". I concluded "like wax statues". William explained "exactly. Now this is just an experiment to see if there is a way to make a Ring of Everything without... you know, bringing the Storyverse to tears, combining all the forbidden books, one of the darkest story castings known to any living being". I replied "got ya". Terra queried "what is that glowing coming from your chest?". I lied "just a magic necklace my grandmother got me". Well, it was more of a half-truth. William thought aloud as we swam up to one of the windows "I never knew about a magic necklace your grandmother gave you and we've known each other for 4 years. And been in lots and lots of life and death scenario's together. How come you never....". he put 2 and 2 together "oh, oh crud. How did it take me this long to figure this out? This is crazy. We'll talk about this later Tessa". I asked trying to contain my fear towards what Will had just realised "how are we getting in?". Terra explained "That's simple, I just have to enter the 4th dimension". William replied "you do realise that currently no 4TH dimension exists. So, if you use your power to enter the realm of 4D the Storyverse would have to create a 4th dimension. Which it very well might. you would be creating an entire realm with a history, and its own people just so you can enter a wax museum. Which I am totally cool with". I whispered firmly "you can't be serious". Terra bellowed "through the 4th dimension!". She grabbed us both on the arm. I yelled "NO, NO, NO" And we crossed through to the fourth dimension. Meanwhile, on the surface in an apartment in Perth, our old teacher Missy Sword is with her daughter. Her daughter's name is winter. Missy spoke "winter, I have to talk to you. I'm afraid this is the end for me". Winter asked "Missy, what do you mean?". Missy replied "the moment I made that ring, the Storyverse was always going to take her revenge. Always. The soul reason I'm still here is because I needed to take care of Abagail. Now that is done, there is nothing attaching me to this plane anymore. I'm so sorry I won't see you grow up to be even stronger and even braver than I already have. A Ring of Everything isn't evil in itself. But making it is". Winter yelled "SHUT UP. I'm going to give this back to you this weekend. Your going to live. Abagail lived through her creation of that ring". Missy answered "if you knew the kind of things Abagail did to survive the wrath of the Storyverse, you would not wish that on me. I would not wish that on anyone. And that is why, I'm giving you this. I hope it brings you happiness where it only brought me misery". Winter shuddered "I don't want some stupid ring. I want you. Please don't go". Missy shuddered "there will always be one thing attaching me here. You. And my students. Teaching has brought me much joy. But in the end, it wasn't my ring that brought her down. but it was something I created. Three friends who I fear for better or worse, can survive anything. But as a mother, I have just one selfish wish". Winter shuddered "anything". Please don't be sad when you think of me. I want you to be happy. I have learnt many things after forging that cursed thing. When I was on the run, I learnt the most worms anyone should ever have to eat is zero. Don't use a credit card if you're in hiding. Never mess with ballerina's. But the main lesson of my life is. Real power, comes from people, not artifacts. Without a wielder, that ring is just decorative. True power, true greatness, comes from people and their stories. I must go to the scene of my greatest crime. I must show the Storyverse that I am willing to atone for my mistakes. That is the only possible way I can live. I know you'll go to Tessa. Give her this. if showing the Storyverse I'm sorry gives me one chance in a million of living to see you grow up. I'll take it. I will always take it. I know deep in my heart that you will make me proud. Now, just remember, be happy". Missy touched the hand of her child and closed the ring around it. She knew then, that Missy would always be with her. always.
