This is sorta a prologue thing for the GF AU I'm writing, which involves some. . .wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Yeah.

You can question my existence now

The surroundings were black.

At least, there are hundreds of stars and the occasional nebula to give the place some light, a space-esque location that will leave one gaping at the sight before them.

But this place?

It was not to be.

A lawless, unstable crawl space between hundreds of thousands of millions of dimensions, yes, this is what I'm getting at. A location where anyone can be king, queen, emperor, or president. A free lot where you can build anything on it. A realm where you are permitted to let all hell break loose.

But alas, this place has already a king.

The shadow floated through the cold void, humming a little tune to himself as he moved about. He raised a finger to his chin, possibly cooking up a little plan.

"Well, well, well!"

His scratchy, multilayered voice echoed all throughout.

Sometime, something big had happened in another dimension. Red skies were created. Infrastructures were destroyed. Objects came alive. He was so satisfied and ecstatic with what he has created.

"Gotta hand it to those notorious little meatbags. I'll admit, they did a good job kicking me out of that world!

"But, the question is: Am I really 'erased'?"

Ready to take his reign of terror to the outside world, him and his previous servants got ready to leave this heck of a town and let everything escalate from there. But no. Something had prevented them from escaping. And he knows only one person that knows how to disable it. . .

Suddenly, the shadow beamed with glee that was over-the-top.

He had once persuaded a young, brilliant man to become his partner.

He had once invaded an elderly con-man's mind.

He had gained a second vessel.

He had trapped a human inside a prison bubble.

He reunited with his old 'friend'.

He had conquered a sleepy, hick town.

And all of that crashed down when he invaded the wrong mind.

Can you believe it?

Him, a master of the mind, TRICKED?

He's a freaking all-powerful demon for Pete's sake.

"What if, just what if, I start from square one? As a saying goes, 'Try and try until you get it right.' Is that how it goes? No?

"Four symbols of the Zodiac. What about we leave two to live and the other half to. . .you know? That other twin would prove a good partner as well, given a few altering. Oh, how glorious this little plan is! Everything's falling in place!"

Vaporizing that huge baby was just a piece of cake to him.

"One officer. One officer left from that Time Police thing."

Resetting the timeline seemed to be. . .not so bad of an idea.

Right?

That's it.

He's settled.

"I WILL BE WATCHING YOU FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. . ."
****
I just realized

This is the start of this book

And a prologue is what launches the book into the main storyline

Wow

If I had the guts, I might publish this in a book reserved for this AU.
