Anchorage Alaska, December 14th, 2003.
The onslaught of snow continued on as Sirius watched out his car window in boredom at the passing forest. He and his older sister, Merida, just got out of the hospital after seeing their mother go through an operation for her clogged veins in her right leg.
The operation was successful, but there were some complications in the process. the doctors doing the surgery on Sirius' mother had found bone cancer in her femur. Now she has to stay in the hospital even longer until they can get the whole problem resolved.
".....Sirius, about the extra operation mom is gonna have..."
Sirius turned his view from the snow and looked at his sister. "What about it?"
"Well...Mom only had enough in the rainy day fund for one operation so I just wanted to ask if you had any ideas to rack up about ten thousand dollars."
Sirius sucked in a breath through his teeth at the reality of it all. His loving mother didn't have enough, she was but a single parent living off the reimbursement fund they got after his father died oversees in the military. The salary of a waitress didn't cut it, so her daughter, Meridia, helped out with money once she turned fifteen, which is when people in their town decided that you were old enough to work a serious job.
Sirius had just turned sixteen and had saved up money from working as a little league umpire for two seasons. The amount just barely capped over eleven thousand dollars.
"Yeah I got a little over ten thousand in my account. We can use that."
But Meridia shook her head at the notion. That money was for Sirius when he got out school, at least that's what her mother had planned for and that was what she was planning to stick to.
Sirius sighed, he knew his mother wanted him to save up the money from working to get him up on his own two feet once he moved out, but this was more important than that. His mother was getting on in age so her body couldn't handle that kind of stress the cancer was putting on it.
'Damnit, why do they have to be so damn particular about it.' Sighing at the reality of it all Sirius looks into his library on his phone and starts re-reading Lord of The Mysteries for the umpteenth time.
Meridia looks over. "Really reading that one book again?"
"Best book I've read so far....well tied with The Perfect Run, but still, its a pretty damn good book. It also made me learn Chinese since the translators were taking too long."
[A/N- I know they didn't come out until like 2018 or 2020, but it comes out early in this world.]
"How much do you know anyway?"
Sirius snorted and replied. "Enough to know you will never understand me." Meridia blinked and snapped back. "What the hell did you say? I feel like you said something insulting."
[A/N - Just imagine it as Chinese]
"That you're the most wonderful sister in the universe."
While the two were 'arguing' as a eighteen wheeler was barreling toward them at ninety-six kilometers an hour around the corner they were coming up on. The driver was downing his eighth beer bottle and was rocking the steering wheel a bit. Just as he turned the tight corner his truck flipped and met the unsuspecting duo.
…
one month later....
He stood Infront of two new graves that sat next to his father and after a few hours wandered home. Luckily he was mugged on the way in his time of weakness, Sirius always had the uncanny ability to disappear. When he got home he went straight to his room and into the corner.
Sirius sat in his room hugging his knees. his small house that used to feel bright and colorful was a dull gray that seeped into the surroundings. It only brought back unhappy memories that have transpired in the last month.
First his sister died saving a drunk man from his truck. Only problem was was that the truck was hauling petroleum gas, which caught fire and exploded incinerating all that was near it, including Meridia.
The drunk man was burned, horribly, however he survived the accident. Albeit with several charges a few being drunk driving, vehicle manslaughter and many more.
After the funeral he got a call from the hospital saying that his mother had died from a heart attack right after she woke up.
All Sirius wanted right now was to curl up and die. The only two people he oved in his life were gone, after they literally danced with death. One danced to save a life, the other danced to save her own life, both failed.
Sirius got and passed by his sisters room, it had a bright blue painted on the walls and an elk mount on the wall above her bed that their dad had shot when he was a kid.
finding the German homework she had given her self so that she could learn the language, she always wanted to go there. "Fuck. you just had to go save that drunken fool, didn't you? You just had to play the fucking hero. I always told you human beings were scumbags, you just never listened."
Turning away from her room and closing the door he began to walk to his mother room, only stopping for a short second to mutter under his breath. "Ruhe in Frieden, Schwester, ich bin gleich da..."
The only other language he knew, other than English and Chinese and he learned it for his sister, who is now gone. His mothers room was...bland to say the least. Her walls were a dull grey and her bed was a size too big for her alone. Though she never moved on from her late husband staying faithful all the way to the end was what she wanted.
Sirius sat in her desk chair, swiveling around, tossing his brain along his skull. Bills filled the desks' corners, several math calculations could be seen on the messy papers scrambled along her desk. The paper slowly getting soaked from the tears welling up in Sirius' eyes, leading him to lean back into the chair and stair out the bedroom window into the sunny sky.
"Heh, looks like Hollywood is even more bullshit than I thought. It's supposed to be cloudy right now yet its the brightest it ever been this month." Its as if the world was celebrating his sister and mothers deaths, that thought alone made him so angry he could go insane.
He shot up and ran back to his room hunkering down into the corner of his room hugging his knees once again and with closed eyes he chanted. "I wish to disappear. I wish to disappear. I wish to disappear. I wish to disappear....."
Unbeknownst to Sirius, his very existence seem to grow fainter and fainter each time he chanted with all of his being, his very emotions being used to fuel the phenomena. And soon he grew so faint that he fell through the floor of the house like he clipped through reality.
…
When Sirius he was 'falling' through the world soon he fell through the universe and multiverse. He saw multiverse with beings that moved reality to their whims, and in other realities he found a singular existence that could make the whole population of Earth go insane with just a whisper or glance, though from what he observed in these few short minutes was that those kind of beings were unique as there was no other copy of them.
There was even one reality that didn't have a multiverse, just a single universe. All of it made from one beings body, a being so powerful its dead body gave birth to an entire universe.
Just staring at those particular beings gave him a headache that felt like knife grinding through his brain slowly. Only reason he survived was that he and the being had an entire wall of reality separating them and the phenomena that Sirius casted protected him somewhat.
When he finally felt ground again he looked up to find a pristine white throne. Its authority seem to fluctuate around the area, its entire being screamed absolute.
Then Sirius felt his body be racked with pain. He looked down to find his body ageing and de-ageing such as his right arm growing wrinkly and left arm shrinking and growing fat. This was happening all around until he slipped from the room the same way he slipped from his house.
When he felt hard ground again he could feel that he had grown smaller, younger. His curly brown hair was just below his ears and his cloths had grown several sizes bigger than him. Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse he felt some memories of yesterday and his life disappear, he kept his cool though and grabbed a nearby stick and started writing in the dirt, he followed his gut and wrote in Chinese.
"Dad - James Wilhelm, Mom - Julia Wilhelm, sister - Meridia Wilhelm, your name - Sirius Wilhelm. You lost your memories after falling out of the world and looking into the omniverse(?), you are alone with no family in this world so trust no one unless you have an in-depth understanding of said person."
Sirius could feel his whole life slipping and he started writing faster. "You have to find a way ho-" Then he stopped. He had no family back home, they were all dead, and after going through what could be written off as a magical incident, he could bring them back as well. After all, nothing is impossible, especially with magic.
Scratching out his previous words he wrote down the last bit. "Find a way to bring back your family, they are the only ones you care about....as of now. You cannot live without them…..and erase this message when your done."
Then black consumed his vision.
