Realm Beyond The void outside of reality is not a true void. It is not true nothing. Not as we define Nothing. Space is a Void, yet it is something we can understand.

The Universes are like Bubbles, encased in super small orbs... yet far larger then any being could ever understand entirely. Each orb is connected to each other, in lines that intersect one another and often break off and end in nothing, or more then dozens.

Yet, what is the space between these points of reality?

It is not Nothing, nor is it Something. You can't sail through it like space or water, because distance means nothing. Time means nothing.

Even... Nothing means Nothing.

Yet... it is possible to cross these vast pits of reality, via the creation of Tunnels. Tunnels which bore through the Vastness between Universes. They create umbilical cords between Universes, rich and fat with the concepts of Reality.
[4/18/2014 6:48:08 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond These Tunnels are creations meant to connect Universes to allow others to enter them.... or exit them.

If our eyes were capable of seeing the Universes, as they are.... each Universe would be connected to the other by these Tunnels....

Like glowing and tiny lines..... All binding reality together.

Some Universes, like Sylvanna's, block off the entrance or the exit of these Tunnels. Others...... are without natural ones, but can easily be connected.

It is these Tunnels which are formed during the creation of a new universe, and through which the Frog is sent.... to expand into it's new Universe.
[4/18/2014 6:49:17 PM] GDI Shaun: (( You could also fly a gummi ship overtop of the tunnels~ ))
[4/18/2014 6:50:01 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond However.... as we know.

Some sessions to create new universes, or gods who create a universe.... do not finish what they started. They Fail.

They break....

Or they discard these things, as Incarnations are sometimes known to do.... letting the pieces of their toys be consumed by the Vastness that surrounds our realities.
[4/18/2014 6:50:38 PM] Realm Beyond: (( Entirely true, and it could be the reason for it's blackness.

The further away from the tunnel they are, the less "stable" the ship becomes, until it is torn apart. So they have to remain closer to remain whole. ))
[4/18/2014 6:52:27 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Sometimes these pieces are flung back..... to Precursor Universes. The Universes before, which are the very definition of Alien.

They are then either consumed, torn apart, of their energies are used to allow that universe a small bit of the poewr of Creation.

But most.... we do not know what happens to them. As most precursor universes do not make any literal sense to our thoughts.
[4/18/2014 6:53:10 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Yet....

A very small percentage of them...

Survive the time in the Vastness.
[4/18/2014 6:53:57 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond It is rumored that beings of great power and terrible wickedness find these Wayward Pieces of what once was...

And they use their might to stitch them back together.
[4/18/2014 6:56:25 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Half Universes.....

Known as the Outside.

These Universes grow tunnels to the nearest Universes to them.... like fat umbilical cords.

A certain cult was created.....

A church started. To worship the location of these natural tunnels to the Outside.

They call this church the Church of the Vines, as the Tunnels themselves resembled great and mighty vines or roots that squirmed through the Vastness and then erupted forth in universes.
[4/18/2014 6:57:53 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond The Chuches themselves were dedicated to all forms of Knowledge..... But like all things of this nature... their origins, and their original meanings were lost. There are few that remember what the Church originally meant.
[4/18/2014 7:00:05 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond To some universes..... those that venture inside..... find themselves in Outside locations.... where they can only refer to them as Hell.

Others are pushed into nonsensical realms where power and knowledge make little sense....

In others.... they come into lands ruled by would be gods, or truly god like monsters.

Precursor's who abuse the little creation they were given....

Mortals who ascended and did not deserve or were not cursed with the role of the Pillars of Reality.
[4/18/2014 7:01:56 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond The reason I tell you this story, Young Jack December, is to tell you where you came from.

And why your existance is as wretched and foul as the worst monster.

Why I, even now, rend the flesh from your sister's body.... Why I make you watch.
[4/18/2014 7:04:16 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Because I am here to safe guard this reality.

I am it's protector.

I am a Knight to it's Azura colored Light.

And you..... are more foul. More broken.

More of a danger....

Then any being who lives currently in this universe.

But I see potential in your eyes.... Jack December. I see great.... terrible power.

You hide your blond hair behind dyes of red and black.

But I know the truth.
[4/18/2014 7:05:43 PM] GDI Shaun: (( If the Knights of the Azure had performance reviews, that Elf would get a failing grade ))
[4/18/2014 7:06:16 PM] GDI Shaun: (( at least now he would, since rend took over as praetor. nothing's known of how the knights were run before the first fall ))
[4/18/2014 7:06:36 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond I have seen.... the land your mother called Home.

She was foolish woman.... thinking she could infect this world... /my/ world.....

I come from Sylvanna's greatest house of the High Elves. And you..... Jack. You saved nothing. You stumbled through history..... and your insides /wept/ blackness.
[4/18/2014 7:06:55 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond You hide behind names.... "December"....
[4/18/2014 7:07:33 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond The screen begins to turn grey....
[4/18/2014 7:08:13 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Then White.... like we are pressing against a film of white color.....
[4/18/2014 7:08:31 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Your mother told me much.... Jack.
[4/18/2014 7:12:32 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBcXe2B97TQ&feature=kp

The white shatters like glass....

Revealing a mighty tower of white stone, from which green vines trail down, it's form stretching up and up and up...... atop of it sitting a massive sun, faded color.

It widens as it moves down, stones bleached by the intensity of it..... as we zoom out, showing that the tower itself is sitting ontop of a floating Island, gently bobbing up and down in the air, the sky a twilight around it. More islands float all around it, leading down and down..... many tiers that seem to continue on into infinity..... some with half destroyed buildings made from white and black stones, and some with forests that seem to end right over into the space of air....

"They told me it was the realm of the Banished."
[4/18/2014 7:13:30 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond A black figure sprints through the forests on an Island....... black cape flapping behind him..... a demonic looking helmet, shaped like a skull and with black metal armor formed into spikes.

He twists around, holding up a giant battle axe, also black.
[4/18/2014 7:14:09 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond He roars, sweeping the Axe around and slamming it into a swarm of Vines which curl after him..... slicing them in half.

Before a twisted and super massive wolf leaps at him, biting at his armor.
[4/18/2014 7:14:33 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond He grabs it by the throat, choking it and then cutting it's right leg off with a chop from his Axe.
[4/18/2014 7:14:42 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Before it pushes them both off of the Island.... as they tumble through the air.
[4/18/2014 7:14:47 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond He kicks it off of him....
[4/18/2014 7:14:56 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond And his Cape morphes into two leathery black wings.
[4/18/2014 7:15:15 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond And he soars towards a battle taking place on an Island... between these black armored individuals...
[4/18/2014 7:15:27 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond And men and women with Blond Hair, covered in Tattoos.
[4/18/2014 7:15:48 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Who fling elements as their eyes burn with fire, water, and other elements.
[4/18/2014 7:16:02 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond The Armored men and women fighting them back.... as we zoom out...
[4/18/2014 7:16:10 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Showing they are fighting over the Tower itself.
[4/18/2014 7:16:18 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond We zoom up the side of it...
[4/18/2014 7:16:25 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Until we reach the very top, just below the Sun...
[4/18/2014 7:16:52 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond And then phase through the stone, staring inside as a Swarm of Vines seems to be making a cocoon.
[4/18/2014 7:17:02 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond And below it.... is the Helmet with the Cross horns.
[4/18/2014 7:17:16 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond Sitting on the floor.... like it's watching over the Cocoon.
[4/18/2014 7:17:34 PM] Realm Beyond: Realm Beyond As the screen fades to black.....

Realms Beyond: Banishment
