Chapter IV

Honeymaren was beginning to feel fearful that for not seeing her girlfriend in the vision of her room through the window when The Ancient One intervened to explain.

"She left a few minutes ago to look for you, after not finding you near the house she feared that you might have gone into the forest and went there looking for you."

"No, no, she's in danger, I must go back for her!" -Said Honeymaren worriedly, feeling a chill on her back and a pressure on her chest as she thought what might happen to her beloved if she met that thing again.

"I can see that you have quickly become accustomed to your astral form, feeling things as if you were still in your physical body, but don't worry," said The Ancient One, waving her hand over the window again, and the Snow Queen appeared to be walking hastily through the forest, outside of the hidden little valley which she and the brown skinned girl shared.

"She is further than I expected, I won't be able to catch up," said Honeymaren worried.

"The being you met has the capacity to cloud the thoughts of others, either by implanting ideas or manipulating them by means of illusions, it almost captured your young partner once, having felt her power it will not stop trying to consume her."

"Consume her, what do you mean with...? wait, that doesn't matter now, we must stop her!" Said Honeymaren as she levitated down towards the base of the enclosure. "Should I just touch my body to get back inside or how does it work? Asked the girl, stopping in front of her body, which stood calmly, as if frozen in time in that curious glow.

"You'll learn in time, I'll help you a bit for now," said The Ancient One, and soon the girl felt a slight push forward, energy coursing through her body and suddenly she was back in the physical world.

"That was..." Said Honeymaren, looking at her hands and feeling her body, as if trying to verify that nothing had changed.

"One gets used to it." Said the Ancient One, who was standing in front of her, "now to help Elsa I must make sure of something," said the woman, placing her hand on the forehead of the young brunette.

"What... what are you doing?" Asked Honeymaren, trying not to move as she did not understand what was happening.

"I wanted to verify having the spiritual energy of that girl well located, there is no better source than you now, you are deeply imbued with it," said The Ancient One as she turned towards the center of the room and began to make some movements with her hands.

A few seconds passed and then orange sparks, as if from some sort of fire, appeared in the air, then they took on a circular shape and as the circle closed a hole formed, visibly connecting to another place; soon a scream could be heard and then the surprised Northuldra girl could see Elsa fall through the magical hole, being suspended in the air by The Ancient One just before hitting the ground and finally being left gently on it.

"Elsa!" Honeymaren shouted, quickly approaching to kneel on the floor beside her beloved.

"Honey? Are you all right? What are you doing here? Where are we?" Asked Elsa, confused and a little hastened.

"She shouldn't have taken off the necklace given to her by the leader of her tribe," The Ancient One said, now standing beside the couple, then she knelled down, put a finger on the white skinned girl's forehead and drew a shiny magical symbol that took the Snow Queen's consciousness out when it disappeared.

"What have you done to her?" A worried Honeymaren asked, holding Elsa's head against her chest.

"I put a protective incantation on her, that cut off Null's influence on her mind, but to have two mystical forces fighting within oneself is exhausting even for those who have training, the shock of releasing her was exhausting, so she fell asleep immediately, but don't worry, she will soon be fully recovered, if you wish we can take her to your room now, she will be safe here, the forces of evil cannot penetrate this sanctuary," said The Ancient One with a wise yet comforting look and then she stood up.

"All right." Said Honeymaren, taking Elsa back into her arms.

The Ancient One directed Honeymaren through the stairs; as they went up what would apparently be a long way Honeymaren observed better what was on each floor. Living rooms, libraries, gardens, bath rooms, saunas, large spaces similar to training dojos, bedroom hallways, rooms with large windows that seemed to magically give out to another side of the world and terraces that really looked like a piece of the outside world impossibly present in that room, all of that was truly impressive, but some of the things that caught more of her attention were the halls full of relics, even without setting foot in them she could feel the magic emanating from those artifacts; kept in display cases, pedestals or wall mounted it was clear that they were all special and powerful in their own way.

"Excuse me," Honeymaren said as they approached the highest floor, now turning their attention to finding out as much of the situation they were in as possible.

"Yes, Honeymaren?"

"A few minutes ago you referred to that being as Null, do you know what it is, where it comes from?"

"Follow me, we're close to your room, I'll answer your questions when we let Elsa resting," The Ancient One said as they reached the top floor.

At the bottom of the corridor to the right of the large window was the room that The Ancient One had assigned for the young couple. When they entered the presence of wood, stone and iron dominated the place, just as in the rest of the sanctuary; there was a large bed, night tables, a large closet, a large private bathroom and a small living room with a low table and sofas, plus a small magical balcony that seemed to connect to the sea at the time.

The room is beautiful, Honeymaren thought, as she put Elsa to bed as she had already done several times. But you are more, she thought as she gave the young woman a slight kiss on her lips.

"I'm glad you're safe," whispered the young Northuldra, adjusting some of her beloved's hair, and then returning to the door of the room, where The Ancient One was waiting.

"Follow me, now we'll talk." Said The Ancient One, and Honeymaren did just that.

About halfway up the sanctuary was a large room with light grey stone floor, walls of the same color with dark forged metal windows that showed slightly through them, small waterfalls of water in symmetrical divisions placed on the walls and surrounded by a small channel of running water connected to the waterfalls, all this surrounded by a lush garden area beyond the intermittent walls.

"This room is beautiful," Honeymaren said as she entered.

"It is, it really is, unfortunately what we're going to talk about isn't," The Ancient One said, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room, a gesture that Honeymaren copied in front of her.

"So, what do you want to know first?" The Ancient One asked.

"That thing in the woods, I heard you called it Null, what is it? why is it dangerous? why does it want Elsa?"

"Null is an interdimensional being that threatens universes, is also known as 'The Living Darkness', and is a pure darkness entity, devouring mystical energy to survive as well as to increase its power; unfortunately, it has reached this dimension and now everyone, even the dimension itself is in danger.

"Wait... there are things I don't understand; dimensions?"

"Excuse me, I started too fast; dimensions are planes of existence," The Ancient One said, materializing with magic and some gestures the flat image of a large tree. "At the beginning of existence, all dimensions started from the same point, just like the trunk of this tree, but life is a complex combination of events, things that may or may not happen depending on many interconnected events; think about it, if you had stumbled and passed out when you chased Elsa to keep her from approaching Null, what would have happened to her?"

Honeymaren felt a lump in her throat at the thought of that possibility, but took strength to answer.

"Then... that being would have devoured her."

"That's right, just a second, a small mistake, and she might not be here now, without her many things that could happen in the future never would, from the life together that you plan to have to the times that she could have helped someone in the forest or in the Kingdom of Arendelle; That little moment would have had many consequences that would come off every time something happened where Elsa could have intervened, creating different possibilities, different lives, and in turn those small differences would form different dimensions; Just like the branches of the tree, certain points in the history of the existence of a dimension are divided by having several possible results, when these results have an impact of significant importance, a dimension arises to house each possible future and thus a multiverse is born, so varied and broad as the ramifications that a tree can have.

"So... do these arise with each passing moment, with each possible different event?"

"You learn fast," The Ancient One said. Now, there are beings that can travel between those dimensions thanks to great power and mystical ability, Null is one of those beings, one of darkness, evil and destruction, however, not only that kind of spirit beings can do it, remember when I told you that this sanctuary was not more than a week old?

"Yes, I remember, I don't see how it could have been built in such a short time and without anyone noticing."

"Girl, nothing is impossible for the mystical arts, Null was transported to this dimension a few days ago, from my dimension," The Ancient One said, taking Honeymaren by surprise.

"You're telling me you aren't from this dimension?" Honeymaren asked somewhat concerned about what this implied.

"I'm afraid not, but I'm not like Null; I am the Sorcerer Supreme of my dimension, in charge of protecting it, fighting against the darkness and sharing the knowledge of the mystical arts to whoever is worthy of it, that is why I am here."

"Are you going to protect this dimension too?"

"No, this dimension is not my responsibility," The Ancient One said coldly.

"But if you don't, who will stop that monster from destroying everything? Will it consume all mystical energy and just leave?"

"There is mystical energy in everything that has life Honeymaren, when you talk about consuming all the mystical energy you mean exterminating all life on the planet and the dimension."

Hearing those words felt like a cold splash of water for Honeymaren, who remained shocked for a moment, staring at the ground.

"Doesn't our dimension have a Sorcerer Supreme?" The girl managed to say, amid the fear she felt.

—Apparently not, the last one died without leaving a replacement, it is an unusual event but not impossible; that must have been why Null decided to transport himself to this dimension... but it may have a new Sorcerer Supreme, if you have the ability to do so.

"Who? Me?" The surprise at those words made the girl focus again on the real world.

"My dimension is chaos at the moment, that's why I didn't detect that Null escloakd from its confinement and transported itself here, i would usually leave the responsibility of dealing with it to the Sorcerer Supreme of the dimension he escloakd to, but perceiving that this dimension doesn't have one I decided to give some of my time to train someone and not be the cause of the loss of an entire dimension due to my carelessness. I transported myself here following the trail that Null left between the dimensions, it makes sense that it decided to appear here, this forest has a great magical concentration and its located in an area of ​​great power, I in turn decided to use this mountain as base given that it is located right on a Ley Line, one of the magical veins of the earth, in addition to the gems that it has inside and that add up some great extra magical potential."

"So you built all this inside the mountain?"

"In part, not all credit is for me, I rescued part of the old abandoned sanctuary of the last Sorcerer Supreme by bringing it here and opened an interdimensional portal to use resources of close dimensions, not taking them, but conjuring them according to their potential to exist at some point in the history of this dimension, you could say that I simply conjured their essence, bringing them from time to space; I know the vast majority of what appeared in this place, articles of great power whose existence is so strong that they exist not only in one dimension, but many. With the knowledge gathered in this place and a small guide you can become a great Sorcerer."

"But why me, why not someone more capable? like Elsa, for example, she already has magic, and managed to tame the spirits of the four elements, the spirits of the forest."

"Elsa is certainly powerful, and her power will only continue to grow, but her power is different from that of a Sorcerer, she is more like..."

"A spirit..." Interrupted Honeymaren.

"That's right, its power is tied to the spiritual world and the earth, it's phenomenal, but there are things that only a Sorcerer can do, out of the bonds that Elsa's magic has."

"I understand... But why me? Why not someone else out there? Yelana knows about magic, she could come and learn and..."

"Young lady... your energy, the magic inside you, the magical potential you can develop, all that is different from anyone I've felt around here; Null not only chose this place to appear looking for magical energy, it possesses a great intellect and surely detected that Elsa, and you, even more so, would be the greatest threat to achieve its mission in this dimension." Honeymaren was silent when she heard those words. "I can see that you are the greatest hope for this dimension Honeymaren, but I can't train someone who doesn't want it, the decision is yours," The Ancient One said, then got up and left the room, leaving Honeymaren alone, looking to give her time to think.
