Rothko Ladhiffe always figured he was a normal kid. He never wanted any
special abilities, and he never intended to leave his mid-sized city of
Springfield, Kansas. He was special, however, and he would have to leave
Springfield, and by the time he managed to get back to Kansas at all, the city
was completely gone from reality. For now, though, he was just a teenager who
was stuck with a group of friends in the middle of a hidden dimension. The
portal that went from Earth to the rogue planet of Durus wasn’t simply a
straight line from one to the other. There was a limbo in between them, where
the laws of physics were difficult to pin down. Time didn’t always move at the
normal rate, space was virtually impossible to navigate, and reality was
confusing. When he finally did make it all the way through, he was the only
one left. The rest of his group managed to cross back to Earth, and all but
forget about their time with Rothko Ladhiffe. Savitri and Escher knew he would
be coming, so they were prepared to help him cope with his new life. They
dreaded having to humor him as he did everything he could think of to get back
home, but almost found what really happened worse. Rothko had already been
through a lot before making his way to Durus proper. He wasn’t too concerned
with getting back to Earth, because he knew some things about the future, and
felt like he had to stay on this world until its problems were all resolved.
He was almost excited about the prospect of living on a new planet, and
fighting time monsters, which were only getting worse by the year. While it
wasn’t the life he would have chosen, it was a lot more interesting than the
one he was leading before, and he figured that was sort of the goal. Together,
they formed the Triumvirate, but just like the Twoarchy and Solocracy of
before, they didn’t have anyone to rule over. They just had themselves, and
their enemies. Fortunately, for them, Rothko came with a real time power; one
which allowed him to alter some of the laws of reality within a certain range.
He vanquished the monsters with ease, using only a fraction of his potential,
and for the next couple of years, they lived together in relative harmony.
Effigy appeared a couple of times too, but for the most part, there weren’t
any major events. It couldn’t last forever, though, and Rothko would
ultimately be responsible for the Trimvirate’s demise.

- About Me
My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
