Folding Reality...Twice

[Trixie]

“My name is Omni. This is not the world you know. This is the Omniverse. You interest me, so I have made you part of it. The Omniverse is a place that reflects the wishes of those who are part of it. But! There are rules. I will explain them only once, so listen carefully.”

Omni hands you a glimmering orb in which all the colors of the rainbow coalesce. “This is Omnilium. It’s what ties the Omniverse together. Without it, you are nothing. With it, anything you desire can be yours. But you will need more than this. If you desire it enough, you will find it. You will find that using it comes naturally. Just think of what you desire most.

“You will not be alone in the Omniverse. There are others. Of course, they, too desire Omnilium. Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn.

“That’s all you need to know right now. You’ll figure out the rest soon enough. I’ll be watching … and waiting.”

As the voice of Omni echoed off into the distant reaches of her memory Beatrix felt her body slam into the shallow water of some unknown fountain. There was no pain; not even a splash. Whatever just happened left the sword master face down on her stomach. Slowly as if her brain were a computer completing a power on self-test each of her senses came back and the mistress regained control of her body. Finally, with a sudden jerk of her entire body, the fallen Jedi’s heart started back up. With a sharp inhale and a quick flex of her biceps Trixie pushed herself into a seated position.

Almost immediately the red haired vixen heaved and emptied the contents of her lungs all over her naked legs. The fluid, coalescing with every color of the rainbow, moved to form an orb in front of her face. Out dropped a sealed plastic envelope. The mistress’ eyes moved to the parcel that had dropped from the mysterious orb and before she could take her eyes of it the orb of fluid shot into her bosom and disappeared. Getting to her feet Trixie sputtered and coughed as her lungs adjusted to breathing on their own for the first time.

“The fuck…” She muttered under her breath.

Beatrix wasn’t a fool. In fact she was highly educated so what had just happened to her body could be rationally explained in some way. She tucked the envelope under her arm and stepped out of the fountain. An orb of omnilium emerged from her torso again and displayed that she was headed to Coruscant. Without bothering to notice it was Empire controlled she swatted the orb away and grabbed the envelope and ripped it open. Inserting two fingers she pulled out the first document.

”A wanted poster…for…me? Eighty million credits for my death? This doesn’t make any sense. For war crimes against The Republic?”

Letting it go for now she pulled out the second piece of paper. It was a wallet sized photo taken from a mobile camera. A woman who looked like herself was sitting next to a man clad in heavy steel armor? They were laughing. Flipping over the photograph the name “Vad” was written on the back and circled by a heart.

“Who the fuck…?”
