Disclaimer: This book in the "How To" series will be split into three parts, each one's length being around 15 chapters.
Bean and Clara are on opposite sides in a war neither of them started.
Bean, at first, is on the side of the Quandalian Empire. The Quandalian Empire is the ultimate result of an escape from Universe 1218 to Earth-424, and now they've conquered nearly all of their little corner of the multiverse. Bean is a child of the Chaos that came before the multiverse began (he just doesn't know it yet...). There hasn't been a Chaos-child in this universe since, well, the founders of the Quandalian Empire, Sophia Grace Victoria Amai-Strange, and Josiah David Ortlieb. But when what Bean believes to be ghosts start appearing to him, he realizes that not all is as it seems, especially in his fractured mind.
Clara is on the side of the rebellion against the Empire. Born to the Terran King and Queen as Aaliyah Victoria Berry and raised in secret by the Terran Resistance Generals, she is the last living heir to the United World Kingdom of Terra. Granddaughter of the Ancient Greek god Hephaestus, she is really good with the materials of the Universe she lives in, as well as a mineral called Tynerium that she's theorized to exist in large deposits all over Universe 1218 and in small quantites on Earth-419. Tynerium is used in medicine on Earth-419 to instantly cure any physical disease. But when Clara begins to experience what looks to be her life from different points of view within her own mind, she starts wondering whether there might be more to Tynerium than meets the eye.
When these two souls meet, it's destined to be a collision of epic proportions. Will Terra survive? Or will the two humans who were NEVER supposed to meet be their downfall?
Two souls, two sides. A multiverse of choices. This is "How To Topple an Empire Part One: Terra, Liberated".
