"What are you talking about grandmaster?
The Druidmaster race has been eradicated eons ago! I don't think there's any other means on how it another Druidmaster should exist?" Lord thanis explained.
"There's nothing above the will of the ethereal gods?"
The man known as the Grandmaster explained. History had it that he came from the race of immortal beings bounded by their own will to continue living, at once they were considered as the fathers of the universe and knowledge, also known to be older than the universe itself.
Pat who has been listening to their chat finally asked "What are you both talking about?"
"I said you came from the race of guardians born long ago based on the decisions of the ethereal gods."
Grandmaster explained "I acknowledged you lacked divine essence which means you're different."
Pat floated in the void seemly lost and void of thoughts, he looked at Lord Thanis and back at the Grandmaster.
They were both strange to him, everything was strange to him.
"Elder of magic Magnus siphoned all druidmasters that existed throughout all of timelines and existence."
Lord Thanis bursted "druidmasters that would exist, had existed, will exist including those that hasn't, then how's this possible?"
He paused "I saw and experienced the birth of time but still couldn't see how this flaw turns out to be beneficial"
"But I saw beyond that skyfather, there are things beyond your perception." Grandmaster said "he's the Druidmaster! The ethereal gods foresaw a great threat to the nexus of reality so they choose another Druidmaster to expel that threat."
"Wait! Who are these ethereal gods, the nexus of reality and how am i linked to all these?" Pat asked with frustrated tone.
Grandmaster turned at him
"The ethereal gods are not to be spoken of for little is known about their origin and as for the Druidmasters, they're not champions of the ethereal gods but individuals existing after each rebirth of the universe to be the guardian of the nexus of reality which is the connection to all that exists across the omni-realities and also the center of it all."
Pat stared at them for minutes mutely and scoffed psychologically "I'm out of here." He said.
"You're the Druidmaster Pat Lee." Grandmaster said.
"What?" Pat frowned his face "You're insane."
He pointed at them both.
"Your fate is to guard totality not turn against it, you're to guard all of continuity."
"Continuity?" Pat asked.
"You don't believe in the existent of one universe, do you?" Grandmaster asked.
Pat's eyes opened wide in awe, he could believe his ears and eyes, he took a fast gaze at the two strangers "this is unbelievable! This is total trash."
"It won't be any longer." Grandmaster replied.
"What about the ethereal gods?"
Pat asked "tell them to find another druid whatever his name is, i'm a reporter not a fighter or a guardian!"
"That's beyond my voicing." Grandmaster responded "but the intelligent proficient part of you is attaining the title Druidmaster."
"Nope! I don't think so."
"You have to."
"And if I don't?" Pat asked acidly.
"It has not been done and will never be, it's who you're that defines you. It's your destiny." Lord Thanis explained.
Pat thought for a couple of seconds, a thought struck him and he asked "once I become the Druidmaster, will i be able to get the hell outta this shit hole?"
Grandmaster nodded positively "as the Druidmaster, you will be able to do anything, acheive anything and be anything."
Pat sighed, rubbing his palms together then said "I'm in."
Unknown Location
The area was daft, lacking admirable auras. The pace was void filled with arrogant essences, trapped essences which brightened up the domain with red lights. The ground was not left behind as it was red and stony, filled with red sharp sand and medium mountains. There in the middle of the domain stood a golden door that led nowhere, on the door was an insignia that represents order in arcane language and before the giant door stood a figure dressed in black hood to the ankle, not his face nor his feet could be seen.
The figure went on one knee "master!"
"I called onto you, i know you're the wisest of them all. I need your help."
A hoarse voice occurred behind the door.
"What can I do for you master?"
"I've a plan to vanquish the high-warlock and have the nexus of magic under my dominion, with the legerdemain tribunal under my superiority, the universe will fall to my knees." The voice echoed.
"But that'll be after your freedom my leige."
The concerned tone of the figure said.
"There you came in, I'll need you to find me the key to my freedom and in return, I'll grant you eternity with peace."
"But that's suicide my Lord, the high-warlock will have me killed. I'm no match for him, I won't last a minute against him."
"Take this, with the gem of negation, no harm shall befall you as long as you are my trusted herald."
The figure stretched out his right palm, then a green beam of light accumulated on his palm materializing into a green energy gem, the gem was smooth but exits strange green energies that seemed sentient in nature.
He clenched onto it feeling it's warmth in his palm "consider it done my lord." He assured.
Milladeck - Skyland
White smokes dispersed on the foggy land revealing Pat and Lord Thanis.
His journey with the strange man really messed up with his mind or perhaps enlightened his intellect a lot, he felt a little awkward but also entertaining especially experience the use of supernatural acts that he never thought existed.
Pat looked before them, he saw a golden kingdom so tall it's height vanished into the void sky, the walls confining the kingdom were made of golds and some decorative attractive gems that could attract unpleasant thieves. Warriors stood out and above the battlements of the kingdom while some patronized the surrounding flapping in the sky like angels.
"This is heaven!" Pat muttered flabbergastedly.
Lord Thanis chuckled in his genteel tone and stopped, he faced Pat "This is skyland, realm of the milladeck gods and watchers of the milladeck reality."
"You mean this world is different from the actual world?" Pat asked.
"The milladeck is entirely another reality different from your known physical universe, it was created by our mother of creations...the primogenitor."
Lord Thanis explained "she birthed me as the first progenitor of this reality and then I created others as my subordinates."
"So you owned the skyland?"
"I owned everything within the milladeck universe, although i don't control everything because the stability of this reality is based on the suvivability of the godwave and without the progenitors, there won't be the godwave." Lord Thanis corrected.
"Wait! The godwave, you said earlier it was going to kill me, how am I invulnerable to it anymore."
Pat though aloud "or have I become a progenitor like you too?"
Lord Thanis laughed "the godwave is toxic to mortals and you're not mortal, you're an immortal now Pat."
Pat scoffed "So I can't die."
"Technically by lesser weapons, higher weapons or forces would kill you."
Lord Thanis broke down word by word "our immortality has ends druidmaster, we sometimes die to give birth to another concept of our ideas."
"Okay!" Pat thought aloud "how old are you again?" He asked after a long thought, it was obvious the latter knows a lot but how?
"Humph! Old enough to witness the concept of time begin."
A smile escaped Lord Thanis lips, he looked back at the horizon " you're now the druidmaster by name but not by wit and powers, the druidmaster name comes with divinity, unassailable powers and courage but to unlock your powers, you'll have to go through a lot."
"By whom? I just wanna get the hell outta here, I've works to attend to."
He replied.
"Time in milladeck can be tricky druidmaster, its hard to describe but believe me...you won't wanna know."
Lord Thanis reported which made Pat frown a little in confusion "but before your training starts, why don't you go for a bumpy ride!"
"Ride?" Pat asked but he was cut short.
Lord thanis thud his rod on the foggy ground which made a grumpy sound and the air around Pat squeezed into one singularity forming a wind-composed wormhole beneath Pat's feet. He tried to flee off the spot but He couldn't then WHOOP!
He suddenly sank into the oblivion beneath the wormhole.
The Genesis of Realities
He sank deep into the dept of abyss but he never stopped falling, he yelled his heart out but that doesn't stop his fall as he continued falling deep into the endless dept of darkness.
His eyes flashed as he witnessed the dark endless trench coming to an end but suddenly he saw a break of light that spread predominantly dominating over the darkness and oblivion.
He saw how the light forces out white light orbs that represents realities across the megaverse.
It was like his brain was expanding wide and wider as automatically he could understand it all, he could understand what the simulation meant. It was a flashback to how the megaverse was created.
All from the dept of the first primordial darkness, nothingness and void came the break of light that dominated the darkness and sent it hiding in the vacuum of unreality.
From these break of light came into existence five light orbs representing different multiverses in existence all occupying different lives, entities and concepts.
He could see in the midst of the five orbs another bigger orb linked to the other orbs through an energy web-like connection that seems to be the bridge between every existence.
He was still falling but he could see what his purpose was this time, the megaverse didn't just come to be but came to be as the annihilation of the first prime orb which was the first reality.
He could see the entirety of totality placed on the palm of a figure he couldn't see but he could only see its palm and the blur energies surrounding the figure's palm. He could tell what beyondnness was like, totally vast and void...absolute nothing.
He felt gravity on him but this time, it was pulling him upward back to where he came from.
It was like time was actually been reversed in the process but the simulations never seize to exists than at the peak of falling out of reality, he saw something amongst the odd of normality.
He saw as the five orbs retreated into the middle orb to form one singularity which even he knew stunned the simulated reality, slowly everything fell into wastes.
He watched as everything fall back into darkness and from this darkness came a flaming red triangular symbol confined by a circle, then he knew something was up but he couldn't process what it was.

Milladeck
Skyland
He landed face down on the foggy ground, he groaned unable to stand up for a minute but after numerous struggles, he finally at first rose on his knees to see Lord Thanis standing just a feet before him.
He breathed heavily "what? What, what did you do to me?"
"What did you see?" Lord Thanis ignored his questions and asked.
"I errr...saw how everything was created...i saw how everything started." Pat explained.
"You saw the genesis of existence." Lord Thanis said.
"I also saw one being, who holds totality in his palms." Pat thought "I couldn't see his face but I could see his palms." He thought aloud.
"That was the originator, the creator of totality." Lord Thanis explained "no one could tell how he came to be because he was God."
"As in, the real antropomorphic God?" Pat asked now standing on his feet.
"He was the only God in existence, the uncontrollable one that plays everything like a controller, writes everything like a writer and even rewrites everything like an editor he is."
Lord Thanis illustrated.
"I saw something else."
Pat outbursts.
Lord Thanis raised an eyebrow in awe "What was it you saw?"
"I couldn't tell what or who this being was aside the originator but i knew i saw his entrace and even felt his existence in the physical plane."
Pat explained, he paused to understand what he just said. It was unlike of him, it was like he was just knowing thing that has to be known.
"What did you see druidmaster?" Lord Thanis brought him back to actuality.
"I saw a triangle...a burning triangle to be precise." He answered.
Lord Thanis felt sick and Pat noticed that, it was obvious on the latter's face.
"What?" Pat asked.
"A burning triangle?" Lord Thanis repeated thoughtfully.
Pat nodded affirmatively.
"That was Baphomet you saw." Lord Thanis explained "an unspeakable being that must not be spoken of."
"Who's he?" Pat asked.
"We must not speak of him," he retaliated and moved on "come with me." He urged after creating a black concentric portal, he walked into it and out of curiosity, Pat followed before it vanished infinitesimally.

Nexus of realities
The dimension known as the nexus of realities is the middle-point of everything where everything stems from, it's the bridge between every realities and also a cross-dimensional gateway to other realities across the megaverse.
It was void of any stellar, astronomical objects or even the sky. Everything was blank and void almost like the sky was imperceptible.
"I recognised this place, I saw it in the middle of the simulations." Pat said as he reminisced about the middle orb in the midst of the five separated orbs, so this was how it was.
The dimension was vast and plane with red sandy landscape that spread predominantly across the vastness even beyond the trace of sight. In the middle of the domain was a very tall tower, it was so tall it's vanished into the serene void above the dimension, on the tower were encrypted symbols that seemed rather too primitive to illustrate but to Pat, he could translate it.
"The connection to all." He translated after not believing himself.
The tower was surrounded by white clouds that entwined the dark plane tower like snakes, also suspended in the air around the tower were the five light orbs that represents each multiverses rotating constantly around the tower.
Based on this, Pat could now tell how high the dimensional plane was. It was at the zenith height superior to other planes in existence "This is beyond perception, is it?" He asked Lord Thanis.
"Indeed, the nexus of realities is one of the highest plane in existence. Through this plane, you can hold multiverses in your hands like balls without the aid of your powers."
Lord Thanis explained "and it belongs to none than the druidmaster to watch over. From here, you can see everything across all of existence regardless of the planes or dimensional limits."
"Magnificent." Pat scoffed enthusiastically "concerning this entity, Baphomet. Who's he?" He asked.
Lord Thanis looked at him "we don't know, I don't know!"
"Wait, you said you experienced the beginning of time but then how's this Baphomet a mystery to you?" Pat thought aloud.
"He was said to have existed even before the creation of everything, he's a stranger to us all in the universe."
"What?"
"He's not of this reality Pat, he never originated here...he's an intruder." Lord Thanis finalised.
"Where's he now?"
"Believed was locked off our reality by the exteriors with the aid of the unity boxes." Lord Thanis said.
"Exteriors? Unity boxes?" Pat felt lost.
"Exteriors are beings not from out reality Pat, they said themselves to be Gods of their reality before Baphomet destroyed it."
"So Baphomet was an exterior." Pat guessed.
"The last exterior." Lord Thanis corrected "They died trying to save our reality but left us with a weapon capable of putting everything under dominion."
"The unity boxes?"
"Yes and it's your purpose to guard totality to prevent this from happening, you need to keep our reality safe." Lord Thanis said.
"What about the ethereal gods?"
"They tried one but failed against Baphomet before the exteriors came to our aid." Lord Thanis replied and Pat was silent, probably lost in thoughts "You need to stop that from happening, but befire that! You need to know how to use your powers willingly."
"How?"
"Training, not here but in another dimension."
"Emmm, where exactly?" Pat asked out of patience.
"The legerdemain Tribune."
He replied "they'll teach you well there and believe me when I say...you'd be amazed by the anomality in there."
Lord Thanis smiled putting Pat in an obscured but pleasing state which made him force out a calm smile in disguise.
Also known as the source of magic in all of existence, the Legerdemain tribunal is the cross bridge between normality and anormality. Its existence was unexplainable because it's foundation was paradoxical in all of totality.The dimension with the appearance of a country, an endless country with no boundaries to block ends.The sky was casual and calm with clear clouds, whyverns and Phoenix birds roamed the sky screeching and roaring acrobatically shadowing the beautiful land in a pleasant view one would seat for. Houses were built with concrete metallic particles that brought out the beauty in each structures while some were golden with mystical auras that pleased the atmosphere.Creature and humanoids of different races in existence roamed each areas of the land performing different arts unbelievable to the eyes.This domaun isattracted to every species in existnece ranging
The cloud was serene as its use to be with no clouds nor stellar objects to beautify the already void heavens but the breeze was chilling as it ran down Pat spine giving him a shivering nerve as he stood before the green pasture.The Tribune has offered him a new outfit similar to that of the Hebrew Jews; white long rode, red waist belt and red bracelets, his hair was neatly combed leaving it relaxed glaring at the bright heavens.The High-warlock acknowledged him on his staying in the domain would take months and even years if care isn't taken but thanks to the void time in the dimension, his absent in the world won't be noticed by anyone.His vicinity was vast, the length of a football pitch with green legumes and weeds bit no trees could be seen in sight. Virote stood beside Pat staring at the horizon, her gaze was so calm even Pat couldn't take his eyes off her. I
Training for days now, he finally got the hang of the atmosphere around him. His training was splited into two set and this he loved the most, having a free time with the woman he cared about the most.He was given a free day to refresh his brain and also relax himself but instead he decided to go outting with Virote then they got into the mystic sanctuary not far from the Tribune.The sanctuary was a little quite with no humanoids within except them, the room was spherical with tall shelves that reached to the concrete ceiling occupied by medium and bigger books.The shelves were arranged specifically around the room leaving a wooden entrance door in the middle wall.In the middle of the room were scattered chairs and tables occupying different books while some books were suspended in the air immovably.Virote sat on a ch
BOOM!An upheaval surfaced as an eldritch energy flung the door of the museum open rigidly the wave from the destruction shuffled glasses into smithereens.He stood in a fighting stance as two prestidigitators fell to the ground lifeless with glass spikes slaughtered them limb by limb, eight more prestidigitators bordered him with their wands not resting as mana energies burst out in rage.The figure conjured green eldritch energy in his palm to form a force field that instantly deflected the assaulting energies into gust of feeble winds, he then transmogrified the same force field into a ball size energy before forcing it out into a wave of omnidirectional wave of energy but the prestidigitators guarded themselves with reflective force fields that bounced back the attack at the sender but instead the figure only absorbed it like it was nothing but it only served as a diversion as he had a
Months has passed away rapidly like counting numbers, the Tribune was yet to unveiling the strange attacker within the Tribune.It was like during his attacks, he was sensible but after his attacks, he would suddenly vanish along with the Tribune's scent like he never existed.Not even the High-warlock was able to sense his aura.Pat on the other hand has gotten adapted to the magical environment, his senses has heightened to the extent he could not only feel within the Tribune but beyond the Tribune, he could feel every magical essences roaming the multiverse like worms.He could tell which was tainted and which wasn't. He was so great at it he at once could detect the difference between divine and demonic auras without breaking a sweat but this stranger was new to him.It was like he has absolute control over what other feels about his presence, it
It was empty with just Pat standing before the three high councils, he wanted to disclose to them what he learnt of the intruder but his hopes on getting who it was were pretty low.The day he was attacked with Virote, he felt something breathtaking.He felt a distinct energy sensation he has never felt in his life.The energy wave was so weak he could hardly distinct it from every magical sources in the legerdemain tribunal, it was almost like the thief inhabiting this aura was trying to keep stealth from been sensed within the Tribune.It was a leak so infinitesimal even the high-warlock of magic in the source of magic couldn't detect his presence.Above that, he knew the thief knew him accurately and knew of his weakness as of Virote's affection on him.So the intruder must be within the councils.&n
"We talked about this Druidmaster, we are not to disclose this to anyone anymore."High-warlock lashed out calmly but Pat swiftly ignored him and walked into the tribune regardless of it empty rows.All mages and prime mages were already sent on search party against the unknown thief. "I need to know the truth." Pat said coldly with a taste of ire in his voice. "Truth?" Merlyn asked lost in words.Pat stopped few steps before the high floor, his arms folded systematically and stealthily. "What is it you seek Druidmaster?"Pat cut in angrily "don't call me that, I'm Pat Lee by name! Not by title."Merlyn sighed. "You need to be sincere with me...for once high-warlock." Pat added defensively.Valdimir
ArmagnacThe stench that filled his nostrils immediately he entered the domain was choking, it almost made him puke.The air was toxic to mere humans, even insects within the domain aren't mere or to be taken likely.A bite from them could paralyze the body in less than few minutes.His feet crushed dry bones beneath him as he walked down the aisle between mountains, decayed bones and fleshes filled the ground, their stench filled the atmosphere like visible gasous substances, he could even see them oozing in the sky like spatial waves. "Hello!" Pat shouted but there was no response "I know you know I'm here, I need to see you."He added audibly but there was no response.The atmosphere itself was callous and dark, dark lightnings filled the sky like dragons, the wind alone pierced through his skin affecting not only his body but his mind.He instantly felt like insanity pouring over him.<
