SCENE 3 — THE SPACE BETWEEN EVERYTHING
Shadow opens his eyes.
He is floating in an endless cosmic space.
There is no ground beneath him, but he isn't falling.
Stars stretch endlessly in every direction. Enormous galaxies rotate in the distance.
He looks around.
SHADOW: "Where am I?!"
A voice answers.
UNKNOWN VOICE: "You have been brought beyond the boundaries of your universe."
Shadow turns.
Fifty people float in the darkness.
Some wear school uniforms. Others wear strange clothes. A few appear to be warriors.
Every one of them looks confused.
Then the stars begin to gather.
Space bends inward.
A colossal figure emerges.
Its body resembles a human silhouette formed from black cosmic matter. Galaxies move beneath its transparent surface. Nine enormous rings float behind its head.
Eight glow with different colors.
The ninth is completely black.
Its silver eyes open.
Every person falls silent.
MYSTERIOUS BEING: "Welcome, candidates."
A young man shouts.
CANDIDATE: "Who are you?! Send us home!"
The being looks at him.
MYSTERIOUS BEING: "I have existed before your gods learned to speak. Your worlds exist within my consciousness."
It pauses.
MYSTERIOUS BEING: "You may call me the Eternal Origin."
Shadow stares at the enormous figure.
SHADOW: "Why did you bring us here?"
For a moment, the Origin looks directly at him.
ETERNAL ORIGIN: "Because one of you will inherit the authority of the cosmos."
The fifty candidates erupt into conversation.
CANDIDATE 2: "You mean we'll become gods?"
ETERNAL ORIGIN: "Godhood is merely a title within the worlds you know."
The nine rings begin rotating.
ETERNAL ORIGIN: "I am searching for something far rarer."
It raises one hand.
Fifty symbols appear in the darkness.
ETERNAL ORIGIN: "A successor."
