"Quite a bold little bug, aren't you?" Shade replied. "Though I suppose I cannot blame you for your blatant ignorance, it is not like your realm informs you of such matters. Does an atom realize that the person it makes up is only one of many after all?"
"Go on." Zell said, now intrigued by Shade's words.

I am one of the elemental lords, there are seven of us in total: Light, Fire, Earth, Water, Shadow, Air, and Life. Each of us have our own realms, each able to contain multiple multiverses. Limitless in their scope and size. All of the realms traverse a constant and that is time. We each have vowed to not interfere with time.
