Why is it like this?

Creation and First Abuses

For being so sure of herself, Harmonia needed to speak up more.

The representation of Sparta was seeing yet another heated battle. None of them wanted to be forgotten, or to truly die. But none could come up with a solution to their dilema.

"Magic!" Said one.

"Logic!" Said another.

She couldn't help but to be annoyed by these idiots. And eventually, she decided that enough was enough. "Will you idiots shut up?!" Soon all attention was given to her. "My Gods, you all are acting like children!"

"Coming from a child, that doesn't carry much weight!" The entire assembly laughed at Romulus' joke.

"May I remind you, Rome, that although being Sparta, I am modern Sparta, as my dear father passed during the Trojan War. Which was the war that we were both born in, so shut it." The assembly went quite.

Then Alexandra, the other representation of Rome, spoke up. "Then do you have an idea, Sparta?"

Harmonia silently thanked her. "Actually I do. But we will need magic to do so."

"Well, let's hear it."

As Harmonia saw Rome fall, she did so from Alexandra's side. Her empire had taken Harmonia's city state years ago, but instead of killing or enslaving Harmonia, Alexandra made her a body guard.

But Alexandra's empire had begun to crumble, and now her estranged lover, Gitte, along with her people, were taking Rome.

"Harmonia, get to your half of the empire. Now."

"Alexandra, what do you mean?"

"Harmonia Karpusi, I name you the Eastern Roman Empire. Now go."

"No! Not until your safe!"

"I'll be fine."

Alexandra and Romulus were not the first to arrive in this new place. The assembly that fateful day had called it the "Mirror Dimension" as it could be accessed through a mirror.

They were not the first, but also not the last. Soon, Gitte and Adelwulf joined them, as well as the Ancient Scandinavia representatives.

But a familiar face soon came, but alone. They had found Chun Yan, one of the representatives of China, alone in a field one day.

"Where is Yao?" They asked.

"He is still with the living! He got the new emperor to dislike me! So much so to send me here while still alive!" She cried.

This was not the first time that it was misused, but certainly not the last. Others saw what China did and decided that it was okay to do that. Soon they had another.

"My daughter, what happened to you?" Scandinavia cried.

"Mattias grew to hate me for wanting to be called Magnus."

And another. "Laila, why are you here?"

"They grew bored of my rebellion."

And yet another. "Edda, why are you here?"

"I accidentally harmed my brother."

And more. "Marriane, why are you here?"

"I did not want to fight England."

"Rose, why are you here?"

"I did not support the Tudor's."

But one stood out from all of the exiles.

"Isabella, why are you here?"

"To get away from Antonio."

"Why? He was one of the kindest men I had ever met!"

She had a sad look in her eye. "That was before the Spanish Empire. That man you knew is gone, replaced by an absolute jerk."
