"Let me explain. I am Elite Skjorn, head of the Counsel of Leviathan, and leader of the exploration program. Us five, are tasked with maintaining order in the world, but it's not a difficult task."

"Why not?" [Me]

"People don't have any complaints. This is our world, modeled after your own societies. We simply made a few changes and found ourselves in perfect peace. Of course, long ago, there were those who hated you. They fled and tried to fight us, but we knew of your mind. We knew of your machines, and we used it against them. We built a machine that could obliterate an entire civilization, and it did. There's nothing left on this planet but us and nature."

"What about the people in the forest?"

"What people?"

"They look almost exactly like you, but they're... different."

"Different? How so?"

"They have two elbows and two knees per limb. They're also uglier."

"How can that be?"

"Umm... Well, maybe your weapon didn't actually kill them, but mutated them."

"Technology can't interfere with life."

"Technology runs on science, and the rules of science apply to everything. Life is made from the elements-"

"No. Life is not powered by science. They are two seperate things that cannot merge."

"But... Assuming you have cellular bodies..."

"Cellular... Yes! Our world follows rules almost identical to yours."

"Okay, so you have genetic code in your cells?"

"Yeah."

"Well, Gamma radiation splits that code, corrupting it, and killing the cell. It deforms and mutates people."

"But we didn't make a nuclear bomb like your people would've done. We made something that melts the air."

"Wait... You made-"

"Plasma. The weapon could turn an entire area into plasma, and it'd all happen with just the push of a button."

"That's impossible. There's no way you could make something like that!"

"And we'd say the same thing about that device in your hand, but we accept it none the less."

"This? This is powered by a Theorium Circuit. It-... You used Theorium to generate energy and used said energy to super heat the area."

"Exactly. The Theorium of course, was difficult to obtain. We had to take from your world, it's the only place in the universe that has Theorium."

"What? That's bull shit! Other planets have Theorium."

"No. They don't. Every planet between here and there is void of Theorium, as is our own, and every other we've been to. There's something unique about your world, that defies the laws of nature as we know them."

"But... That doesn't make any sense, how can our world be special, or completely different than all the others?"

"Well, it isn't completely different. It's... Just got some certain... differences."

"Like?"

"Theorium, for starters. Uhh... Tectonic plates, those aren't really anywhere else. Uhh... The thing your people refer to as 'Reset'."

"Okay, but that's because of a Theorium overload, it's part of the whole, only planet with Theorium thing."

"No, other planets reset without Theorium. Yours... Yours has a black box feature."

"... What?"

"Just... Look." He went over to a pedestal in the middle of the room, hit some buttons and typed something in, and a massive, red hologram of Earth materialized over the pedestal. Of course, all the land masses and stuff were screwed up, and didn't even begin to resemble America, Asia, Africa, or anything else. It also had blue lines indicating what I guessed was magnetic fields or something.

He grabbed a stick and started pointing at things, "Reset occurs when a planet becomes so unstable that it starts falling apart. This is usually due to massive tunnels, or too much magnetic influence. In your case, the tunnels your people dug wasn't anything compared to the Theorium overload. Your planet has a reset button hooked up to a timer."

"I know all this, why are you telling me?"

"Well, it's governed partially by magnetic waves. There's a small pocket right over here," he pointed to an area in the middle of a deep land mass, "Where the magnetic fields act as a sort of... shield. They radiate around the area, and a lot of things get caught and trapped there while the rest of your world mutates and destroys itself. The area is mostly safe from total annihilation, and things stop moving once they're in there, no chemical reactions occur, thus all life seices to move and be... well, life, until the reset is over."

"One pocket? One."

"Well, it's the biggest and most noticable. There's certainly others, and a massive network of tunnels, columns, and caverns throughout the surface." He pushed a button on the pedestal and a huge array of purple lines and circles showed up, just underneath the surface of Earth. "That space, is something we've started referring to as the Safezone."

"So, there's still life on Earth. Right?"

"Oh, there was already life on Earth. Many of the bigger caves crumbled, saving hundreds. But, there's another thing. Twelve of your kind, saved thousands. We're not even sure how, mostly because we were trying to save ourselves from Reset as well, but, still. Some how, they did that. They sectioned them off into their different races, and spread the flow of magic throughout your kind."

I couldn't help myself and just started laughing. It took me a minute, but I finally was able to talk, "Did you say magic?"

"Yes. That's one of the things that's rather unique about your kind."

"Bullshit! There's no such thing as magic."

"Then how do you explain Dravinity?"

"Dravinity isn't real! He's a thing your people made up, and a bunch of our kind made him up as well!"

"And yet we came up with the same name for the same creature, from trillions of miles away with no forms of communications?"

"Well... Okay, you've got that as proof, but still! There's no such thing as magic, and no there's such thing as Dravinity. End of story."

"Okay, there may not be such a thing as Dravinity- in your opinion- but there is magic."

"Sure there is, and my name's Jesus Christ, and I've come to kill all of you for not believing in me."

"Listen, your planet lies on the boundaries between reality and the surreal. Things happen there, that can't. Theorium is the tip of the iceberg, and magic is just another angle."

"Magic isn't real."

"How could I prove it to you?"

"Hmm... I'd say teleportation, but we already know how to do that..."

"I'll show you Earth."

"What? That's-"

"As it was over two thousand years ago."

"You can't-"

He rushed at me, and the second he made contact, I found myself in the center of a bustling city. There were massive, metal sky scrapers, pointing to the mid-day sun, and I knew where we were.

"New York?" [Me]

"Yup. The year is two thousand and fifteen, and everyone's enjoying their Sunday. What, don't have that much of an imagination?"

"Time Travel isn't possible-"

"And neither is instantaneous teleportation, but we just did both. Listen up, Carter, magic is real, and nothing's going to change that."

"God... If it's two thousand fifteen couldn't I meet Carter Sebastion, or maybe Daniel Parker!"

"Uhh... I... Well, Daniel's like, what? Twelve?"

"He... He was born in nineteen ninety nine, so... No, he'd be about sixteen."

"Okay, isn't that still really early aged?"

"Yeah, that'd be pretty creepy."

"Exactly. Now, let's go back-"

"No! I wanna see what it's like!" I turned around and started to run off.

"Get back here!" He got to me within half a second, and as soon as his hand touched my shoulder, I found myself back in Leviathan.

"... I don't think I can wrap my head around this much movement."

"Don't, it's not scientifically possible."
