Chapter 1 - #1 There's a first time for everything!

Roughly 6:30 a.m. - The sun has just begun to rise. In the distance, there are small boats going out sailing and fishing around in what seems to be a switch these words around "Sparkling beautiful" ocean connecting to a nearby beach that seems to almost flow off the planet., A lighthouse sits in the distance, the beacon of it blinking every so often like a clock counting time.

Kimora:This is worded so weird. (A girl sits across the land, staring at the lighthouse, counting the beacon's blinking. Her skin, a caramel color reflects slightly in the water below, and in the shadow, you can see the reflection of her hair blowing in the cool breeze. Her hair sits in a wave of constantly transitioning display, a thousand prismatic colors that glimmer against the sky, the sun crowning in the distance. Her outfit is torn and beat up, ripped in parts and a shoe missing from her foot.)

Kimora: (With her hands quivering, she looks down the edge of the cliff with a pained expression on her face.) "I can't go back home. I can't trust my Mom, and I can't trust my "Dad". If that even is my Dad...I'm all alone and it's all because of these powers that I barely even have control over. Can I even call them powers..? What is a "Definition?" What is Magick? I don't even know what I'm doing. Islanders, people from my world have told me some of this. Magick is an external force you can harness, an energy that flows from the planets around us. It can be asked, but never demanded to invoke specific actions. A "Definition" however.. (She sighs loudly, thinking to herself) has several ideas about what it truly is. Some are born with it, some are not. I haven't met anyone yet with a "Definition" in this timeline.. and I can't even begin to think of the true meaning of a "Definition" in general. I'm just a lowly support mage who can't even support myself.. Go figure!" Hell I'm not even 100% sure what I have is considered a power... What does it mean to have a "Definition"!? What does it mean to have access to "Magick"!? According to the Islanders from my world, Magick is an external force that you can harness. An energy that flows from the planets around us. It can be given shape and it can be asked to do things, but never demanded. A "Definition" however, (With a deep sigh as she continues thinking aloud) has several theories behind it. Some say people are born with it, some say people are born without them. Unfortunately, I haven't met anyone with a "Definition" in this timeline yet. I can't even begin to think of its true meaning, so for now...I'm just a lowly support mage who can't even support myself...go figure!" (She reaches down grabbing a small pebble out of the pile of them next to her and begins examining it.)

Kimora: "I wonder...if I can master my power...can I actively fix my situation?" (She giggles to herself.) "You're talkin' crazy Ki." (She tosses a pebble down off the cliffside into the waters below. After exactly 70 seconds, she heard a very loud "Sploosh!").

Kimora: "Hmphf...Alright, I'll give it one try and if it works...nice! The gravity on this planet is only one and a half times stronger than that of Earth so this should be one of the perfect places for testing my abilities that deal with time and space…That's one silver lining I can be grateful for, despite landing as a refugee on this planet known as Deidra, and despite having such limited control over my abilities..

(She reaches to the side and picks up another stone that loosens the ground beneath her. It is then that part of the bottom of the cliff falls away from the main portion of the rock into the water below, not attracting Kimora's attention. She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes before opening them with a fierce determined look. She aims forward, throwing the stone straight ahead.)

Kimora: (Spoken calmly as she concentrates on the stone she just loosed from her hand.) "Distortion."

(The stone stops mid-air and vibrates, before it appears to start returning to its original point. Then it simply dropped in front of her as she lost control of the energy she was using and the rocks simply plummeted off the cliffside. She stares with a blank expression on her face, before throwing her hands in the air with a loud growl and standing up with a harsh stomp. As she turns to leave, the cliff's edge begins to crumble. The bottom half of the cliff gives way first, causing the top to crumble along with it. She stumbles in surprise and throws her hands up into the air calling out for help as she begins to fall backwards off the cliff with nothing below her but the jagged rock edges, crashing waves beginning to whip up from the morning swell.)

Kimora: (With the realization of what is about to happen she begins pleading as if it's her dying wish.) "Please...anyone! I don't deserve this- I haven't even lived! Please! I'll dedicate myself to you!"

(She closes her eyes in desperation. Tears begin to stream down her face, pooling on her cheeks and pooling down her neck Suddenly, a tan skinned hand resembling a perfect bronze coloring is seen appearing over the crumbling edge of the collapsing cliff.)

Kimora: (Thinking to herself) "5... 6... 7... 8... how long have I been falling? Wait, I'm alive?!"

(After falling for quite some time, Kimora's vision fades to black as she roughly bounces off something, lurching backwards and hitting her head, feeling it crunch underneath her weight as if flattening a board.)
