MULTIVERSE: A Guardian's Journeys

Ch 7. (THE MULTIVERSE)

Sophie slowly regained consciousness. She could faintly hear a girl's voice echoing as she opened her eyes.
"Hello, Hellooooooo." The ghost girl said as she was looking at Sophie.
         "What? Ah!" Sophie exclaimed while opening her eyes. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Ghoo, go, GHOST!" she yelled while moving away from the girl. She quickly covered her mouth because she didn't want to wake up her parents.
          "Ghost? Where?" The ghost girl said, looking around. "You!!!" Sophie said while pointing at the girl with short hair, and her full body was blue transparent, and was floating in the air.
         "What? I am not a ghost; I am a  spirit." The girl said this while holding her hand on her chest and her eyes closed. "What's the difference?" Sophie asked, still scared.
     "Well, spirits are friendly, while ghosts are scary."
        "And what did you do to me?" Sophie asked. "Ummm, scared you?" The spirit girl said. "So?" said Sophie.
        Digi realised the statement and said, "Oh, good point. But I am not a ghost, ok?"
       "Why are you here, and what do you want from me, Ghost?" Sophie said.
         "OK, first of all," the spirit girl said, irritated. "My name is Digi, and second of all, you called me here." Digi implied.
         "Me?" Sophie was confused. "I didn't call you here." "Really? So you are not with the stone?" Digi asked.
         "What? What does the stone have to do with this?" Sophie asked. "Hmm, just tell me this: Are you with the stone?" Digi asked.
            "Yes, but......." Sophie was saying but was stopped by Digi.
"Then you are the guardian and my master," Digi implied.
             Sophie was more confused than ever.
      "What?" she asked. "You know what; where is the stone?" Digi asked.
       Sophie brought out the stone from the drawer, but when she did, it began to glow. Startled, Sophie threw the stone, and Digi caught it.
        "See, I told you," Digi said, holding the stone in her hand. "How...how is it glowing? Wait, did you come from the stone?" Sophie gasped.
       "Not really, but the stone brought me here since you are now its holder and guardian," Digi explained.
         "I'm very confused. What do you mean by 'guardian,' 'holder,' 'spirit,' and this stone? Please explain," Sophie requested.
         "Right. Sorry about that. I can't explain in detail, so you will have to come with me," Digi said. "No way. I'm not following a ghost to nowhere," Sophie refused.
        "Spirit," Digi corrected her.  "Whatever. I'm not going anywhere with you," Sophie said firmly.
         "Well, suit yourself then. You will never know about the secrets of life beyond the universe..." Digi was about to disappear, but Sophie stopped her.
          "Wait, life...beyond?" Sophie asked. "Yes," Digi replied. "What do you mean?” "I'll tell you, but you have to come with me first. Trust me," Digi said with an assuring smile.
         Sophie was confused, but her curiosity got the best of her. She hesitated at first but then agreed. Sophie took a deep breath and said, "OK."
          "Great! Hold the stone," Digi said, happily. Sophie held the stone. "Now place it close to you, close your eyes, and look deep into your subconsciousness," Digi instructed.
          "How should I do that?" Sophie asked. "Just clear your mind and let the energy within you flow," Digi explained.
           Sophie didn't quite understand but tried to do it. As she did, the stone glowed, and Sophie fell into nothingness, roaming around in space before falling into a wormhole.
           Sophie slowly opened her eyes and widened them as she saw the Earth in front of her with some black holes around it. She noticed that she was floating in space and got scared as she realized that she was in space. She thought she would die as space didn't have oxygen and started to panic. Suddenly, she heard Digi laugh.
           "Hahaha, don't worry, nothing will happen to you," Digi assured Sophie. "What is this place?" Sophie asked, disturbed.
         "Welcome to the Wormhole," Digi said. "Wormhole?" Sophie asked as she floated. "Yes, Sophie. This is the Wormhole that allows you to travel across multiple universes," Digi explained.
"Multiple universes?" Sophie asked, surprised.
         "Yes, as you see these black holes, they are portals that allow you to travel to different worlds that have different adventures that await you," Digi replied. "Why are there adventures?" Sophie asked, confused.
         "To travel the universes and help the people to fight evil, of course," Digi implied. "What? You are not making sense. How is that possible?" Sophie said.
           "It is, with this stone," Digi pointed at the stone in Sophie's hands. Sophie then looked at the stone with confusion and questions about life, and it was almost at a fainting level. Digi looked at her.
          "You know what, let's go to the realm. I'll explain it there," Digi said. "The Realm? What is that?" Sophie asked.
         "It's a place where all the guardians' progress is being held, like a home," Digi implied.
         Sophie was still confused but reluctantly agreed. Digi held Sophie's hand and opened a portal with her right hand. Sophie's eyes widened to see that, and then Digi went through the portal with Sophie.
         Digi and Sophie then found themselves in a huge hall. Digi welcomed Sophie to the place.
         "Welcome to the Guardian Realm," Digi said while spreading her arms.
          Sophie was surprised to see a crystal cave-type castle home and was astonished to see how it was filled with fascinating stuff like enchantments, books, crystals, gems, and more.
“You live here?” Sophie asked, fascinated by the place. "Well, it's mostly for the Guardian but I also live here." Digi implied.
"Wow, this is amazing, I wish I had a home like this," Sophie said. “Yeah, but when you live alone for a hundred and twenty years then it's a curse." Digi pointed out.
"You live here alone, all by yourself," Sophie asked. "Yes, because, after the last guardian, the position that the world was in, nobody was capable of becoming the next guardian. Until you came." Digi implied.
"You said I was chosen as the guardian, but for what?" Sophie asked. "You are the guardian of the Multiverse," Digi replied.
             Sophie was astonished to hear that but was still shocked as to how this was even possible. Multiverse? How is that a thing? Sophie has only heard of this in movies, stories and fairy tales
        "Why me? And how does the multiverse even exist?" Sophie asked curiously. "It is you because of your inner consciousness of positivity. Because of your way of Good deeds and your good ways." Digi implied.
          "But everyone can be good, why only me?" Sophie asked. "Because your positivity is different, you don't just do good, you also think good. For others, for you, for the world. And for the multiverse, it has existed for thousands of years." Digi explained.
          "What? How?" Sophie asked, shocked. "You know what?" Digi said and snapped her fingers and a sofa and some snacks appeared.
           "Make yourself comfortable cause this can take a while." Digi implied. Sophie sat on the Sofa and gave her full attention to Digi. Digi then starts explaining
                Well, let me start from here. Millions of years ago, In a distant galaxy, a powerful storm of cosmic energy erupted, hurtling through space and time, until it collided with Earth. This storm, known as the Celestial Tempest, carried with it the extraordinary ability to open portals to different multiverses. This energy was then absorbed by a meteor that hit the earth and formed into the stone. However, this power could only be harnessed by individuals who possessed an unwavering sense of positivity and hope within them.
                10 centuries ago, in the town of Mendenia, there was a researcher named Vinos Den. He was the most respectful and good-hearted soul who lived, he always helped people, didn't think of harming anybody, and never fought, he was good from his mind and heart. He was also a scientist for almost 14 years, but then retired and became a researcher.
               One particular day on his research trip he found the stone buried deep within the soil of the forest. He was fascinated by the stone as the properties of the stone were unique and weren't discovered so he took the stone with him to research it. After researching he found out that stone had some properties of a meteor that clashed on Earth millions of years ago. So finding out that it was just a meteor stone, he didn't think much of it and closed the case. But after a while, strange occurrences started to happen, like he started to hear voices. Something weird was happening around him. He thought he was going crazy, he even visited many doctors but they all said that he was fine and that maybe he was just imagining things. Some people even said he was crazy, but he knew he was not. One night he found the stone glowing and a spirit appeared to him.........
