BANG! A shard of glass whizzes past me.

BANG! An entire frame of a mirror passes me.

BANG! I find myself flying through the air, towards a humongous shape which resembles-

BANG!

"I am the Immortal," a loud voice booms, filling the entire universe with it.

"Sorry, but could you tone it down a little? My ears are sensitive!" I scream at him. He frowns and looks down at me, sniffing twice before rolling his humongous eyes.

"You humans are so arrogant, always so highty mighty. It sickens me, but I gotta serve you guys or else I'm never gonna become a Celestial," the Immortal grunts.

"Uhhhh don't we have the term God for it?" I question.

"Nah! Those are for people who believe in legends. Those legends are tiny compared to US IMMORTALS," the Immortal yells out the last part. I cover my ears as the Immortal screams out, "DIDYA HEAR THAT, PLANET EARTHHHHH???"

"Yo could you freaking TONE IT DOWN A LITTLE?" I scream back at him.

"Okay. So as I was saying, above the puny Greek Gods, Buddhas, Indian Gods, Jesus, and whatever you humans decided to create to explain your stupidity, are the Immortals. And above the Immortals are the Celestials, who have the power to control time and space, bend the laws of physics, have the power to bring a choir of angels from the Sky and a band of chefs from the Ground."

"Isn't the Sky Heaven and the Ground Hell?" I inquire, and the Immortal groans loudly again, slapping a hand over his face.

"You humans again! Thinking that you get separated on your way to eternal afterlife! No! I repeat! There is no such thing as Heaven or Hell - you get to choose where you want to stand! Either you go to the land of instruments and quiet dignity and some deportment, or you get to go to the place where you can freely show yourself and cook meals for everyone," the Immortal grunts. And then he mutters, "Stupid humans. Messing up their planet, and now messing up our traditions."

"Okayyyyy so what happens now? I touched the orb and - hold up, are you the 'me' in the note?" I say, remembering the hidden message.

"Yes. Thankfully you had as much brains as the last one, or I would've sent a nuclear bomb to Earth."

"So what do I do now? I can't go back, because of my parents - what do I do?"

"Easy. You go past me."

The Immortal shuffles his humongous body to the side, revealing a tiny obsidian door, lined with gold. The door is just big enough for me, but as I walk towards it, the Immortal puts a finger between me and the door, blocking me.

"Just a word of caution: Once you enter this world, it is extremely hard to get out of it. Are you sure you want to leave behind everyone on Earth?" the Immortal sounds almost concerned and pitying.

What was left behind when I touched the orb? My father, who had planned to probably kill me if I found out about the orb, or at least find some way to silence me. My mother, who was probably behind all this as well. My principal, who probably sent the 'Emergency Call' about me going to the bank.

No. There was no place for me anymore back at Earth. Besides, Earth was already so polluted. I didn't want to stand outside wearing that stupid filter mask anymore. Like, come on, in 2019 they had fashionable masks! What do we do now in 3000? Carry around ginormous, bulky bags to resemble some kind of filter machine!

"Yeah, no, I need to get in there. My friend is in here," I tell the Immortal. The Immortal rubs its giant chest, thinking.

"So the person who last went in there is your friend?" he says.

"Mhm. That's why I need to get in there."

The Immortal looks at me, and then says, "You and that girl - you both have courage to sneak in there to find the orb. The last time we had people coming in was two hundred years ago. Good luck." He removes his finger, and the door swings open, spilling bright light out of it. I walk calmly into the light, and disappear into the galaxy beyond.
