Oliver had finally made it to Dimension 406, with the help of his teleportation powers. It takes him longer to teleport from one dimension to another with his powers. However he was in a hurry and didn't think about using the teleportation device. His eyes danced around the scenery in wonder. After 50 years, many things had changed, things of course were bad before, but now it was worse. The Black Market was showing itself in public, slavery is has also come back and everyone looks a lot more poverty stricken than before.

"This was never here," he says as he observed the chaos and absolute mayhem before him.

However he quickly brings himself back to reality and marches in the direction towards his destination. Towards the person who created this hell, William Blackwood.

William Blackwood, a Calamity that signed a contract with Oliver still when they were both children. William had lost his parents at a very young age due to the commands of The Controllers. Apparently they the supernatural government were planning on making the Calamities extinct. His parents and most of the villagers in his home town were killed. Thankfully, Oliver's family helped gather the survivors and hid them away. Ever since that day, they started plotting against The Controllers. The two boys became friends. Soon William signed a contract with Oliver, automatically, Oliver became his Familiar. A entity that could possess any power and could easily be mistaken for a witch, wizard or mage. Their job is to follow all orders from their contractor, what most creatures don't know is that they can have more than one contractor. This would lead to many problems if all dimensions knew.

Oliver stands outside black palace, though dark and dangerous it might look; it was still rather beautiful from the naked eye to admire. He enhances his appearance to appear more ghostly and begins to glide through the air and walls.

"I'm starting to feel his presence," he thinks to himself.

Soon he stands outside Russian Violet doors. It's cold marble surface stings his fingers as he pushes it open. As he walks calmly into the room, he sees the silhouette of a muscular man sitting by his desk at the very far end of the room. The curtains behind him are open wide, allowing the rather intimidating rays of sunlight in. The silhouette immediately stands up from the vintage desk.

He begins to laugh, "Oliver, is that really you? Hell, it's been years since I last saw your ass!" He exclaims walking away from his work towards the pale figure.

Oliver smiles, "Indeed William, I certainly have a lot to tell you."

William and I sit down in the green house sipping tea mixed with the nectar of the Greek Gods. I remember when we couldn't afford Nectar, let alone tea. Now we're both leisurely enjoying the everlasting taste.

"So Oliver, what stories do you bring me?" William asks while the butler pours him a refill.

Indeed he hasn't changed, personality wise. I remember how he used to cut straight to the point and he still does now.

"There's a girl, who grows wickedly stronger by the day. She's apparently going to be a hero who will overthrown you and save everyone. After about 50 more years, she'll come back and all hell will break loose." I explain.

"A girl? My grief, here I thought the women of the dimensions were all head over heels for me!" He says in a dramatic tone of false sadness.

I sigh, "William, this girl is more powerful than me and she almost has nothing left to loose."

"How is she more powerful than you?" William glances at me as he takes another sip from the floral porcelain tea cup.

"She locked me up in the bars of her rib cage through her Lava powers. I was engulfed in the overly heated substance, but she made sure it wouldn't burn me. Bewildered I wanted to see where it would me, I ended up a in a isolated place surrounded by a rib cage. At first it I tried to slip through the spaces in between in, but I could never fit. Then I tried using all sorts of my powers and still I couldn't escape. After that I came to the conclusion that I should mess with her head and invade her privacy. Though I was trapped in an isolated place, if I moved up stairs, I could see everything in her eyes. Her thoughts would also at time be manipulated by me. I thought all I had to do was crack her, so I could escape. However, someone else broke her, I couldn't do anything; but watch. After that, she realised that freedom is precious so she gave me back mine." I explain further as my eyes grow dark from the remembrance.
