I launched a web line and began swinging over, the vast empty space was really beginning to confuse me.
I shot out a new web line, jumping from the crucido of my last one, when suddenly the staircase I was targeting moved. I freaking moved! What the fuck?!
I screamed as I found myself falling into the abyss below, the vast empty region of purple and yellow all around me.
I turned around and shot out web line after web line, praying one would be long enough to reach another staircase, but they didn't.
"FUUUUUU-" I screamed out, I needed webs, fast! I watched as the vast nothingness below may came up faster and faster. I screamed louder, but I knew no one would come for me.
Slowly I felt my senses go numb. It was like everything about my body began to shut down. There was nothing to smell but me, there was nothing to see but purple and yellow. There was nothing to touch, no air rushing past, no gravity, yet I knew I was falling.
I closed my eyes and prayed, I prayed for something to save me, for something to happen. And suddenly, I felt it. As every other scene turned numb, I turned inwards, and I felt it. A twanging, like the vibrations created on a spider web.
It was as if it always existed inside of me, but only now, after everything else was taken away, only now could I hear it. That sound, that sound that grew louder than my heart beat, that grew louder than everything else in my body, even my thoughts.
Twang.
Twang!
And suddenly my body began to slow down, before being shot back up. I opened my eyes and found a giant golden web shaped like a road right before me. I fell back down, bouncing on it like a trampoline.
Slowly I came to a stop. I got on my feet and looked around. The golden web road extended far beyond everything I could see. It was like it had no end and no beginning. I looked up, the staircases were so far away, I could barely see them. I needed a way to get back up there.
And suddenly, as if it could heard me, the web reacted. It suddenly exploded as each thread in the web shoot up, creating thousand sof more strands, creating a large web wall upto the stairs above.
I gawked, 'what are you?' I waited for an answer, I honestly expected one. But I didn't get any. I didn't know how long this would last, so I acted fast. I used the web wall and climbed back up. My muscles ached from the activity, but I didn't care.
I slumped back on a staircase and painted, my sleepiness gone. I looked down, from this high up I could see so much more of the web.
It extended till the edge of the purple and yellow clouds. And I could see another large road meeting up with it near the very end, like the edges of a spiral meeting an anchor point.
"Oh I'm so fucked," I sighed.
"Indeed you are," came Strange's voice, I turned to see the man sitting with his legs crossed over his thighs, flying down towards me. "Your first day here and you have already gotten into so much trouble."
"In my defence you forgot to tell me how the fuck I'm supposed to navigate your house of horrors!" I sapped back.
Strange just smiled, "well, maybe next time you'll learn to wait."
I grumbled. I looked away from him and back at the web road, "what is this place? What is that?"
"This place?" Strange smiled, "well, you see, this place the place between worlds. It's a pocket dimension that connects to various other parts of this world. A way to travel around much quicker than normal."
"And that?" I asked pointing at the golden web road.
Strange looked down and he gasped. He looked like he was thinking something over before he sighed, "that….is why I decided to train you."
"I'm sorry? How is that a basilisk level threat?" I asked him.
"It's not the danger I was worried about, it's the magnitude," Strange snapped his fingers and suddenly the clouds of purple and yellow began to slowly vanish, revealing a galaxy of stars just behind them, "this dimension connects various other spots in my dimension. But that web line, well, it connects to much more."
Suddenly the world around me began to grow smaller and smaller. I found myself staring at the golden web road slowly being revealing to something bigger.
