Hezago was terribly bored. All of his earthly friends were more than likely doing something cheese-related, whereas he, well, he, was here doing nothing.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAy2DVebXjvI
So, being bored as anything and having nothing to do other than count the copious amounts of bread he had bought from Paris, he decided that a trip to Borealia would do him well.

. . .
256Please respect copyright.PENANADSuXRsDZDJ
Hezago shrieked, scandalised. "ANNABETH WILSON, GET OVER HERE, RIGHT NOW!" He hollered, alerting the sentient AI to his arrival. "Sir, your tone-" Hezago rolled his eyes. "Celestie, does it look like I care about that?"
256Please respect copyright.PENANAT8fccT0855
"No Sir, but I highly recommend that-"
256Please respect copyright.PENANAPYjWLdzEVZ
"Then hush," Hezago responded, silencing the robot. Annabeth had come out of one of the many, and I mean many, portals in the area and was failing to hide her grin as she walked over to him.
256Please respect copyright.PENANApL9JyCmPyI
"What is this!?" He exclaimed, walking down from the diamond teleportation pad in those spectacularly fashionable heels. "I just thought you would look nice in them!" She said, putting on an innocent facade. While saying this, Francis popped up out of seemingly nowhere.
256Please respect copyright.PENANATsvCl0tSUo
"OMG, Hezago, you are absolutely stunning~!" He said, Hezago frowning slightly, then spoke. "I know I look fantastic,” He said, flipping his hair, “But please shut up, Fran." Francis took offence. "It's not my fault that you ate that dress, y'know."
256Please respect copyright.PENANAc9R3IkHDFU
Then a splendidly oiled frying pan came for his face.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAZxfHq4iiBg
Trying to ignore the unconscious Fran on the floor, Annabeth turned towards Hezago. "Well, now that you're here, parliament wants to see you right about now." Hezago stared at her. "Wearing this and looking like this!?" He shouted, pointing at his face. "Well, you kind of have no choice, so..." "Forget that, I sincerely don't care." Hezago said, frowning. "Er, can you at least attend the executions?" Hezago frowned harder, confused.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAxHFVljlXas
"Which one?" he asked, mentally counting the executions he had not attended. "All of them, of course." She replied, smiling. Hezago groaned. He still didn't want anyone to see him looking like this, but since they would more than likely die right after, he guessed that could work. "So... where are the execution chambers again?"
256Please respect copyright.PENANAGngCBQdz2j
Annabeth stared at him.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ0cbqjzRJ
"The doors are labelled."
256Please respect copyright.PENANATIlRDHn7wV
"Still, if it's a thousand and sixty-three doors down, how am I supposed to know where it is?"
256Please respect copyright.PENANAEmWdzRdNci
"Because it's right there-"
256Please respect copyright.PENANA2nwPvXhSTn
"Oh. Oh well, just do me a favour and take Francis to the medical centre; he's bleeding internally."
256Please respect copyright.PENANAO1CosiJD6s
Annabeth, alarmed by this, whipped around and picked up Francis as he stirred alive. "Où suis-je..." Francis muttered. Hezago walked off into one of the many portal doors nearby, and with a water-like plop, he was gone.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAYg7AiozLTq
. . .
256Please respect copyright.PENANAKqabKJh4p1
Hezago appeared in a dungeon-like area that had the stench of sweat and the screams of the tortured coming from all directions. "Eurgh, this place is disgusting…" Hezago muttered, unsuccessfully fanning the stench away from him.
256Please respect copyright.PENANA1V6FNjibg3
He cautiously stepped down the stairs, avoiding the cracks in hopes of not falling down them. At the bottom of the stairs was a locked door, but the door opened for him as soon as he wished for entry, and it led into a rather stinky hall, which seemed to not have been cleaned since the last time he was here, 2 years ago.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAKof3DCw8Kf
Disgusting.
256Please respect copyright.PENANA6L37wfhWhn
Anyway, at the end of the grand and humongous hall stood a very detailed door with a cavity in the lower centre of what seemed to be the top of an umbrella.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAQIeuIp4T1u
"Ohhh," Hezago said, realisation dawned on him. "That's what it's for."
256Please respect copyright.PENANAPqO7DO4kqS
He brought out his wand, and instead of turning into a staff as it would have done near this door, it turned into what was now his umbrella. He put the closed umbrella into the cavity, and the door flared up in flames, and in a seemingly instantaneous transformation, it turned into a golden diamond alliteration of itself, with a mural of his mother adorning it.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAvIkg2A4CjN
The cave dwelling transformed into a library of sorts before his eyes, killing those who were being tortured in its wake. The hall, with a dash of magic, expanded to accommodate another nine levels and three sets of connecting tracks. The door from which he had originally come had transformed into a tunnel, and a plume of smoke had come flowing out of it.
256Please respect copyright.PENANA4XtRvkbOK6
And then the Borearcis.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAkezUcIgZHF
The Borearcis. The very first one that he had built, and the only one that existed. With a blue sparkle to it, it slowly came chugging out of the tunnel. The train slowly came to a stop in front of him, and to his bewilderment, there his father stood, his mother next to him. Hezago didn't know how to react, so he just stood there. His father then smiled at him, proceeding to disappear in a wisp of smoke.
256Please respect copyright.PENANA894PhLJmPX
Hezago slowly walked up the stairs daintily, then standing in front of the control pad and smiling with gratitude.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAPG5uG8cb6J
"Thank you."
256Please respect copyright.PENANAMzQpjTMDd8
It had truly been a long time since he had seen this train. He had based the locomotive off of the Great Northern Railway 1003 class Stirling Single 4-2-2, but instead of two small wheels, a big wheel, a small wheel, and a tender, he modified it (with magic, of course) to have three small wheels and a big one. He ran his gloved hands through the controls and then randomly stepped off the train. He then headed to the front, levitated himself off of the ground, and took a look into the funnel.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAq604mpFvgB
"No Stardust," he muttered. "Fayedust it is!" He set himself down and took and summoned a barrel with water in it, then, out of nowhere, he combined Magnesium, Oliperhiviumese, a bottle of Hell's Essence, Star Essence, and the most important of the essences, Gaviesinium Essence. He began mixing with his wand by rotating it clockwise, adding an egg, rotating it anticlockwise, and finally, the binding ingredient, Terriaearthiumese.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAXRmMSWY0No
The solution immediately solidified, and with nut-busting amounts of force, he pulled out his wand from the container, and it instantly turned into a sand-like substance. After getting off of the floor, he enchanted the dust to fly into the funnel of the train, desperately hoping that the dust wouldn't suddenly set itself aflame.
256Please respect copyright.PENANANllwiTeo2g
Fayedust is very flammable.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAOV4E9fJ6AS
Once the solution had flown into the funnel, a blast of fire came spewing out of it and would have more than likely set the entire place ablaze if not for the magic protecting it. Finally done, Hezago stepped into the cab and pulled the leftmost lever of the train. The train started moving down the central track and entered the tunnel ahead of it. A few seconds later, when the train picked up speed, Hezago found himself in a… void of sorts. It looked like outer space, but the edges were somewhat defined. He stepped out into the void and looked around.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAYyDSNjkgdv
Empty.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAKSCE2H07bL
Except, however, for the golden orb that was floating in the middle of the space. Once Hezago noticed it, it started to gravitate towards him at a speed that could have caused 9/11.
256Please respect copyright.PENANArQ1P5jrvpY
So he cast a shield spell to protect himself and the train, and it ricocheted off of the barrier and zoomed across the room, bouncing left and right through the air, and went crashing into the corner of the area. Everything came crashing down like the twin towers falling, but that was the least of Hezago's problems.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAVs8AR5HTZH
Suddenly having the urge to reach the end of the universe, he quickly climbed onto his train and started pulling levers left and right. With a start, the train started moving, and with another shatter of glass that was more than likely the rails, the train veered off of them and into space. Hezago looked around frantically. He had apparently forgotten where the speed admission lever was, and if he didn't find it before the train reached Jupiter, the planet would explode into a million pieces. He started looking around, but then-
256Please respect copyright.PENANAHrtcnv33es
he remembered.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAQLikoPN1ZN
The train no longer used the admission level standard; it used the command level standard.
256Please respect copyright.PENANABhtMJMRovT
Stupid.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAurpW0lpJQP
Apparently, Hezago had forgotten that he changed it a long while ago before the Borearcis was destroyed. Anyway, at the point in which he realised this, the train was already heading towards Jupiter, and head on at that.
256Please respect copyright.PENANA2SJ163zJ3a
Spiffingly disastrous.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAcJOzvbvwp4
With a few switches and a heave, he had gotten the train to start going backwards but had unsuccessfully gotten away from Jupiter. Well, it was about time he ignited the engine into stage two combustion, which was more than dangerous with fayedust, but there was a chance, with this type of train, that activating it would more than likely evaporate the entirety of the universe, which, as you can more than likely guess, was not good. But take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAcyC6wj4m6o
And that's what he did.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAQUak8dVEY7
With the enchantment of firepower and the pull of a lever, the train shot backward, just a little over the speed of light, and on into the beyond.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAWvFBpJYcbP
Hezago forced the train to turn around with the clicking of multiple buttons and the turning of many levers to get the train to face the right direction as it moved. Within 13 minutes and the activation of the stage 3 level combustion, he found himself at the void that was the outermost edge.
256Please respect copyright.PENANA9b6TJHmTCI
He and the train slowly chuffed through to the boundaries between the universes, and what lay were the remains of the planet of Kemiarah. And these remains were not old, but rather, by proof of magic, two weeks old.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAwGwhK8UwoP
Oh dear.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAjTTupdaZwz
At this rate, the entirety of the universe would have evaporated in maybe 25 years or less.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAMA7nRxAJAN
Now that, my friend, was a problem.
