Beyond Meta Multiverse (Multiverse 2)

Sands Of Stardust

out the region like an intense blizzard made of sand. A figure walks through it unaffected, as if shielded by the millions of sand grains wisping around him. The figure walked with the storm until finding a small brick house outside a nearby village. The hooded man stepped inside, the house seemed like it had been forgotten long ago.

The man wore a hooded-cloak that nearly matched the color of the sand, he wore matching boots and gloves with black pants, keeping his face hidden aside from his mouth. The inside of the house was only twice the size of a shed, basically just a bedroom.
Deep in the western desert of Egypt, a sandstorm rages through
A bed-shaped form of sand manifested in the corner of the room as the hooded-man laid down on the pile before falling asleep from exhaustion...

CHAPTER 1 A Growing Pain

After a long and well needed sleep, the mysterious meta-human walked outside as night was beginning to fall. He made his way towards the small village with the sandstorm quickly dying down, his cloak blowing in the breeze as he reached the large stone walls of the village. There were two men guarding the entrance. Both wore long white robes wielding a sword.

“Welcome to Kusmerna, please stand still so we may search for any weapons or dangerous items” One of the men patted him down but found nothing besides a water canteen.

“He’s clear”

“Alright, welcome to Kusmerna, but I got my eye on you” The other guard commented before the man walked past him into the village. The village had stone houses with a few small merchet stands. A lot of the structures very close together instead of big gaps. As the man made his way through the sandy streets, he noticed a man dressed in a black robe that kind of made him stick out, he ran past a man who held a sack of coins and ran off with them.

The hooded figure gave an annoyed expression before his body began to become a flow of sand as it rushed through the path past other villagers before reforming his human form right in front of the mugger. Before the thug could respond, the meta-human back-handed the thug across the face, causing him to fall onto his back and drop the coins. Picking them up, the meta-human walked back over to the victim, handing him the sack of coins.

The villager hesitated but thanked him as the man gave him a nod. Just before the figure left, the villager asked: “May I know your name stranger?”

“Stardust” The meta-human replied before walking away. The villages always had troubles with unforeseen bandits, criminals and has a history of bad omen but the villagers have nowhere else to go as this was not just their home but their heritage...

The villagers were usually maltreated, sometimes left for dead as they were paid peanuts for their labors and in most cases, starves to death. Most times other notable regions not too far away comes to these villages to abduct men and women leaving their children homeless.

Stardust walked through the Village when two guards stopped him pointing their swords towards him. “Halt! We should’ve explained this too you, but we don’t allow meta-humans within this village, ever since the last meta came to Kusmerna. We would like you to leave the village at once.

Stardust frowned clinching his fists but just turned away before a swarm of sand spiraled around him before ascending into the air towards the endless dessert once again. As he soared through the sky with his cape flapping in the wind, he saw something out in the distance. Making his way over, he descended down in front of what seemed to be a large tomb-like structure.

The sand floating around him fell to the stone floor in front of a large steel door. He walked over to the high-tech door, placing his gloved palm against the black door. “Strange, seems it’s a tomb that’s been turned into a base. That’s when the outline of the door lit up before opening.
