Humans believed the world to be normal, familiar, safe, and seemingly unchanging. Then he appeared from nothing in the streets of New York. Everyone around him was shocked, as there was no warning to his mysterious arrival. Although the people of New York did not have all the time in the world, having many things to be attended to.
People began to continue on with their day, walking by him, not giving him a single bit of their attention. He seemed confused by his surroundings, but was unchanged by this. As people kept walking by, he just stood there. Then he turned around and walked to the side of a building and leaned against it pondering.
After a little while he got up and began to talk.
"Hello people of this world, I come from world of magic, and beasts. I have come to your world to teach thee magic"
Many people ignored him, assuming it was a DnD campaign add, or a dare from one of his friends. Although some people stopped to listen to him, intrigued by his stature, and words. Then he continued.
"It seems thou art intrigued, let me demonstrate my mystical talents"
The amount of people who stopped and listened to him continue to grow, all wondering what he would do next. Then he moved his right arm in an elegant manner. In that next moment many were amazed by what happened, but at the same time many were disappointed.
As he had mad a fireball appear and shoot out into the vast sky before fizzling out. The only problem was the fireball was only the size of a small pebble. Many people expected more for his manner of speaking. Although even he seemed to be confused by the disappointing result.
"Thou art as surprised as I Erevan the great ... thou must not have claimed thee continent yet"
A bystander walking by tossed him a coin, mistaking his actions as a performance act. Another bystander in the crowd began clapping. While another person made a comment on Erevan's outfit. As Erevan was wearing a tattered brown robe, with mud and dust occasionally appearing on its surface.
Erevan was taller than most the bystanders, being six feet tall, while he looked to be in his 40's, having a few strands of white hair. With a tired looking expression on his face.
Erevan was especially confused by the crowds reaction to his performance. As although it's weak power was strange to him, their reactions were unknown to him.
"Are you really from another world sir"
Erevan was surprised by the question from the crowd, as he thought he had already answered that question when first arriving.
"Yes thy art from a world beyond thou's, but haven't thy already answered thou's question?"
The bystander in the crowd was confused as he did not believe in Erevans earlier words, and thought that'd be obvious.
"You did answer it earlier, but do you have any proof?"
Erevan understood reason for the question, and began thinking of a way to prove his existence in another world. Then Erevan pulled out a dove from his pocket.
"This art thy's kin"
The bystander was confused by this act, wondering how this would prove Erevans not a part of their world.
"How does this prove your not of this world"
Erevan did not understand how it's wouldn't prove his otherworldly existence.
"Does thou not know of kin yet"
The bystander did not understand what kin was.
"I do not know what kin are, what are they and how do they prove your from another world"
Erevan was about ready to explain what kin were and how they prove he's from another world. Then he decided it wasn't the right time.
"If thou does not know what kin is, then it is not for thy to explain, rather IT will explain when thou's continent has been claimed"
The reactions were much more stronger from the bystanders, as they wondered what he had meant by claiming a continent. They also wondered many other things from this. Like the Kin, and what IT was.
To the bystanders dismay, Erevan would not explain what he meant. Only ensuring that they would learn eventually. He did give another option to prove his mystical talents and otherworldly existence, to use strong magic.
"To prove thy home isn't of thou's world thy will demonstrate stronger abilities"
At this remark he began moving both arms at once. Moving them in a complex shape that was oddly circular. This performance took much longer than the last, taking almost quadruple the amount of time to use his ability.
When he began to slow down the crowds attention was very attentive. With even the people who did not believe showing great interest. Subconsciously people began leaning in closer to the performer. As they got closer the look on Erevans face was annoyance.
"May thou back away from thy"
At his command the crowd moved back. And as the did a wall of fire appeared in front of them. The scorching heat cause some to back away quickly, bumping into others. While the whole crowd was in awe at the beautiful wall in front of them. As the fire was dancing around extinguishing the shadows, it began to die down slowly falling to the ground before dying out.
This preformance was so impressive and impossible to do even with stunts that those with doubts had none left. With such and exquisite preformance those who decided to record with cell phones were immediately impressed and sent the video to their friends.
Media on Erevan started exploding, with many of the witnesses sharing their stories.
With a few videos of Erevans preformances appearing to.
"I saw create a whole wall of fire, and it was super scary but also really cool. I wonder if he could teach us how to do it"
"Magic could be real, we all just saw a random dude on the street shoot a fireball out his hands, and summon a whole wall of fire, this gives me true hope that magic is real"
"He appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the street, it caught my attention so stuck around, and after a bit he talked about he came from another world were magic exists. Then he shot a fireball out of his hand, although it was kinda tiny, then he created a huge wall of fire around him, and I mean huge it was probably eight feet tall"
Many stories and post were uploaded to the media that day, about Erevan the Great and his mystical abilities. Although may believed it to be fake and not real. Some chose to believe it, to keep the hope that true magic could be real.
Although it also sparked many people to create fake stories of other characters, which weren't true. Those who were there in person decided to meet up that night and discuss what the thought had happened.
This might've just seemed like a get together to fantasize about what had happened. Really it was so everyone knew the weren't going insane. As what they had witnessed was out of this world.
"Hello everyone, we're all here after witnessing Erevan the great, and his magical preformance"
Everyone nodded there heads.
"Great, who wants to start us off with any questions or things we might've missed"
"Hello, I would like to start off by saying that I am a police officer, and I searched up his characteristic on our database, and absolutely so matches popped up, not from our country or any other"
Everyone at the table looked confused, even a few looked scared.
"I have a question, what did he mean our continents must not have been claimed yet"
The table murmured to themselves, wondering the same question.
"I think that it's possible that the reason we cannot use magic is because are continents are somehow unclaimed"
The table nodded in agreement.
"How do we claim a continent then, and don't you think the government has already claimed our continent"
The table seemed to have a few answers to this.
"To claim the continent it probably take a more mystical and more meaningful way of claiming rather than just saying they own it, also our government own USA but not the other countries in our continent"
The table seemed to agree with this answer.
The night ended with many ideas being passed around. No solid answers though, this had disappointed the group. Although they all agreed to go back to the same place Erevan was the next day.
On the media many were arguing about the credibility of the situation. With many disbelievers doubting what had actually happened. While witnesses argued that they saw what they saw and there not making things up.
Both sides wouldn't stop, but they both agreed to show up were Erevan was supposed to be tomorrow. With the witnesses hoping he would show up tomorrow and prove the doubters wrong.
The next day many people gathered around the building were Erevan was last seen. After waiting people began to doubt he'd show up. Even the witnesses believed he was somewhere else.
Those doubt were all washed away when puff of smoke appeared in the middle of the crowd and Erevan appeared.
"It seems may were waiting for thy's arrival"
The crowd cheered, and many doubters just believed it to be a magic act, even if they couldn't explain how he appeared there.
"Do some magic already, prove your magical or whatever"
Many people in th crowd seemed the be annoyed by the command given by a stranger. Erevan was also surprised at his audacity.
"Thou speaks in a bratty manner, why should thy listen to thee"
The crowd seemed pleased by Erevans response, putting the hater in his place. While others also had questions but decided to wait on Erevans answer to the question instead.
"Thy shall use thy's talent but thou must all but back"
Erevan once again started moving his arms in a strange but elegant manner. While he never stopped moving his arms something did happen.
A ball of fire, about the size of one's fist appeared in front of him. Although instead of shooting out it levitated around him. Then started slowly moving around him, up and down, as its speed slowly inscreased. Once its speed got to fast Erevan sent it straight up into the sky.
After three second of flying up the crowd watched a magnificent explosion take place in the sky. It was a dark shade of orange splatted with black dust spots, and ashes raining from the sky like black snow. It was a beautiful sight to behold, with the whole crowd stuck staring at the sky long after the explosion had dissipated.
This performance was greater than all his previous ones and expelled any doubt non-believers had. At once many question arose from the crowd, some very important.
"How do you do that?!?"
"Can you teach me how use magic like you"
"Where did you come from, and how did you get here"
"How do you claim a continent"
"What your name"
"Why was your first fireball a fluke"
These were all questions asked by the crowd, but most went unanswered, as Erevan decided to give the long awaited, most important question an answer.
Right before he was about to answer a van pulled up on the side of the street and a news reporter got out. She walked onto the side walk, and scurried through the crowd. The crowd was obviously annoyed by her appearance, but they were patient.
Then the news reporter directly asked Erevan a question.
"Was that beautiful explosion me and my crew saw from afar caused by you?"
"Indeed thy was the one who cause thee explosion"
"How were you able to do it?"
"Thy simply used Nexis"
This answer caught the whole crowds attention, and made many wonder what was Nexis. Before someone could ask what it was Erevan decided to answer his last question.
"To answer thou's previous question, thou is to locate the continents core and lay thou's hand on it"
This answer shook not just the crowd but everyone watching the news, as the broadcaster had been broadcasting out the entire thing. Al thought they did not know what the continents core was the now knew how to get magical powers like Erevans. Another question from the crowd was quickly asked.
"Where and what is the continents core"
"Finally thou asks the greatest question of all, thou continents core can move as thou's continents core art a mythological creature, thou creature depends on thou continents mythology."
As Erevan said this a cloud of smoke rose up from the ground concealing Erevans presence. After the smoke cleared out Erevan was gone, leaving the whole continent in shock by his words and disappearance.
Many people began theorizing on what the core could be, and what Erevan had meant.
Unlike his previous answers, this one was relatively straightforward, although still had foggy bits. Like what did he mean the continents core would be dependent on it mythology.
North America had many different mythologies, and many mythological creatures. Did Erevan mean that it was dependent on the most believed mythological creature, or something else entirely.
This is what left many stumped an without an answer. While many tried going back the next morning to find Erevan it seemed he was gone. Although news soon came of a person with the same exact features of Erevan appearing in South American, then Europe, Asia, and so forth.
A figure who seemed to be Erevan had visited all continents giving the same last information. Of how to claim a continent.
He even went to Antarctica to inform the scientists stating their.
Although the scientists had heard about him and were prepared to ask him questions.
"What is Nexis"
" that art not for thou to know yet"
This was a disappointing answer, and left the scientists not knowing. Although had expected although they this. They expected that he would directly answer all the questions.
It seemed like the best way for everyone to get the answers they wanted, was to claim a continent. Although they did not know what exactly a continents core was.
Luckily the scientists decided to ask the long awaited clarifying question.
"How do we know which mythological creature our continents core has become"
"Whichever is thee continents most beleived"
This had answered there question, although for Antartica there answer seemed to be hazy. Although it was like this for all continents, as people had different beliefs.
One thing was for sure. Something big was going to happen everywhere once the first continents had been claimed.
Many were scared about this, some believing it would bring great disaster and catastrophe. While other believed it to be an opportunity from the heavens to gain mystical powers.
Normal civilians were not the only ones intrigued by this matter, high ranking officials also believed something could be happening.
As they had no way of explaining Erevans powers, or how he was able to travel to all seven continents in such a short frame of time.
Some politicians even started looking into what had happened, although they only knew as much as the public did. Many people wondering about the mysterious whereabouts of Erevan decided to hire private detectives to search for his location.
No more information was found of him, like he had disappeared from the face of the world. Many who believed Erevans words, thought he had left to his own world.
Although it did not matter where Erevan had disappeared to. As now people were infatuated with the idea of having their own mystical abilities.
This led many people in all continents to began searching for their continents core. Although it was already a hard enough task to find a singular creature in a whole continent. It was like they were trying to find a needle in a hundred heystacks.
There was another problem, most continents had multiple popular beliefs. Leading to many arguments about what there continents core was. With North America having to top contenders for what their continents core could be.
These two mythical creature were the Sasquatch also known as Bigfoot, or the chupacabra. Each side had may beleivers, while non could concretely win the dispute.
This ordeal had also helped many in North America get outside, to enjoy nature, but also to search, search for either of the two mystical creatures.
The first group ever to see Erevan had once again decided to meet up. Wanting to talk about what had just been revealed in Antartica.
The group gathers in a little café this time. With little to no people in their with them. With the occasional customer coming to start there day off with coffee. It's eight in the morning and most of the group is drowsy and tired. Some driving for thirty minutes due to the heavy morning traffic.
Yet none of this could matter less to the group, as something huge had been revealed in Antartica. That the continents core is the most beleived mythological or mystical creature.
"Hello everyone and thanks for coming, it been awhile since we have last met. Not knowing as much as we do know, does anyone have more questions, or answers to previous questions"
"I would like to answer a question from are last meeting, what could be the meaning of Erevans words about claiming a continent, as now scientists from Antartica were able to ask Erevan directly, with his answer being that whichever was most beleived would be what form the continents core would take"
The table nodded, showing that they had also heard about what had happened.
"I want to ask why Erevan or a person similar to Erevan showed up in all seven continents"
The table was wondering that question to, and it wasn't just them wondering about this, it was the whole world.
"I beleive it was to inform all continents on this matter, so one country did not have to much power and knowledge"
The groups discussion ended much faster than there last, as many questions had no answers.
Although later that day something incredible, astonishing and impossible happened. The chupacabra was sighted in the lower regions of USA.
The land was covered in dust, completely flat lands, with the occasional dead shrubs, and boulders pertruding from the ground.
There a man was standing in the middle of this abandoned wasteland in awe and shock. Most of all he seemed to be excited, like he had just won the lottery. As infront of him stuck in a bear trap was a chupacabra.
"O' lord, thank the Heavenly Father for this great deal of luck"
The day before the man had gone into the baren lands he had heard from his wife a chupacabra had appeared in North America, and if one placed there hand on it they would gain mystical powers. At the time the man did not believe this at all.
But now there it was trapped infront of him, although it was not howling in pain, it just stood there, in a daze. Then the man then leaned in and placed his hand on the mystical creature.
At the moment his hand was placed on on the chupacabra a screen appeared infront of. Not just infront of him but everyone in North America had the same illusory screen infront of them. Except no one else could see the others screen.
This did not matter as every single illusory screen said the same thing.
[Welcome inhabitants of North America, I will now send you into your being]
