The Bladed Rose

Chapter nine: Broken

   -Sigh- This part takes a while so I'm condensing it. Yet another ten years passed, I'm now 37 but I still look and feel like I'm 22. I've wandered my broken existence many times. I can say safely that in that decade I've seen literally everything... EVERYTHING. I've seen genocides on a global scale, I've seen universal peace... and universal war. I've seen a place where a bunch of teens and two middle age men could crawl on walls. I've been everywhere. Seen everything. And thankfully, haven't done everything.

   Some highlights being: the orgey universe (name is self explanatory), the universe where everyone can only say meep, the universe where everyone is a tree person. So on and so forth.

   But through alllll of my travels I never managed to locate Jax and Shade again. I'm thirty fucking seven and I've searched for them for a goddamn decade. I think. Time is weird right now. Hell, everything's weird right now. So, since we've fast forwarded something big must've happened right? Right. I met a being known as a sage. Sages are things that know all things about all things. So I took the opportunity to ask a hell of a lot of questions. I asked about what was happening, where was Jax and Shade, where was I, and how do I get back to the two. I got my answers, I shouldn't have even asked...

   I was told that the universes were converging and ending. Time was a string and we were all coming to it's end, a fiery, painful end. When the universe ends there will be nothing, it'd be like we've all been deleted. Apparently Shade and Jax are in my old home, my original reality. They're in London, heh, have fun with the bruisers and the pompous old people boys and girls. I was apparently in between the fabric of reality and nothing. And I can't freely control where the universe decides to dump me. Yay. I killed him. Why you may ask? Because I wanted to. Needed the stress relief.

   OH OH OH, wanna hear something interesting? I saw myself. Kinda. This me was taller, had longer hair and wore some kind of armoring. So that was kinda interesting. I also saw a different me. Wanna know how I know? I was the size of a fucking soda can. I AM NOT THE SIZE OF A SODA CAN! I'm actually really tall...... not really... I'm "above average" bleh.

   And finally possibly the worst thing. Watching an entire reality disappear. I watched as a world of peace fragmented and broke apart, and of course I ran. But I couldn't outrun it for long and it caught up with me.... But... I didn't get deleted. I just floated there and watched as the fragments destroyed themselves and only white remained. This same white (,It kinda switches between white and black yet you can never tell what color it is, because it is essentially colorless hence the white or black,) is where I currently reside. So that's how I discovered the true extent of my immortality, so that's nice I guess. I heard the screams of trillions and quintillions fill my head before I was suddenly inside of a hospital room, no nurses or doctors, but just in a hospital room. Quiet, as if there were no souls in this place, like that desert place. Just... empty. Very disturbing. After some thinking I came to something of a realization... I'd be alone. For an insurmountable amount of time, I'd be completely alone. My world is literally being broken in front of me and I have the knowledge that I will be the only thing that stays alive. Why? Why did I get saddled with this curse of unending existence and immortality?........ Why did I have to start caring for people again?

   I need to stop rambling, I'm here to give an account as to how and why I'm the only living thing in a dead universe. Anyhoo, I continued to travel, eventually learning how to harness the quantum entanglements around me to force a reality jump and pick where I can go. Eventually. Though I needed VERY precise coordinates and locations prior to doing so otherwise I get thrown into a random place at a random time. Quite annoying if one miscalculates. Ever just randomly end up in a place like Star Trek... at random? No? I HAVE. It's weird. So fucking weird. Anyway, thats been Sam with the quantum update of the millenia.
