Chapter Text
Prologue
She stood staring at the void around her, it had ceased to be amazing to her long ago. Stars floated in the distance sending a soft glowing light that kept the area lit. She was standing in front of the door and on the door was what looked like a statue, it was of a young boy. She turned and looked at him.
"Don't worry I will save you." She said confidently. A portal opened behind her. She kept her back to the portal until it closed.
"Are you the Gatekeeper then?" A deep voice rang out behind her. She turned and frowned at the creature before her.
"Welcome, I am Elizabeth,"
"This place is the door to death isn't it." A tall man with purple skin stood in front of her. His armor a pale gold and dark brown color. He towered over the young woman. Her yellow eyes never left his face. She just adjusts her hat. Leaving her leather-bound book to hover next to her.
"Yes, this is the door to Nyx." She said and then pulled the book to her chest. "Are you here to break The Great Seal?"
"I am here to change the universe and save the population. The only way to do so is to kill off half of the population."
"That's a rather simple solution to a complicated problem, isn't it? If I get rid of all of these people, Then my world would be better. It sounds like a child's dream."
"A child's dream?"
"Yes, something you imagined would make it better. Such a dream the infringes on the wills of others should not be allowed." Elizabeth said calmly.
"How dare you?"
“Those who are mortal do not belong here in the Space Between Worlds.” She stated in a matter of fact tone.
"I am no mere mortal. Now step aside."
"No, I won't. You do not belong here." She said her eyes shone brighter and her stance changed to hold the book open. The portal opened up behind the man again.
"My lord." A tall lanky creature said walking out. He had grey skin, wrinkled and wispy hair. He had a large mouth with an inhuman grin to it as he was excited to share his news with the other man.
"What is it?"
"I've found something that might interest you. The Space stone has been found."
"Send him to it."
"As you wish my Lord."
"I have other things to attend to, but I will be back for this door."
"I'm counting on it," Elizabeth said with a smirk.
