In the sprawling universe of The Selected, where cosmic powers guide the fate of worlds, there exists a place unlike any other—a place known only to the most powerful beings in the universe.
Welcome to The Between.
Far beyond the reach of ordinary men and women, the Between is a subplane dimension, an ethereal bridge that connects worlds and realities. Only the Selected, chosen by the Prime—the powerful force that governs expansion and purpose—can access this secret realm.
Imagine walking across a vast stone bridge that stretches endlessly through a kaleidoscopic sky. All around you, floating rocks of every size drift silently, creating platforms and paths suspended over bottomless, glowing abysses. The air is crisp and silent, filled with the hum of magic and possibility. This is no ordinary terrain—this is a realm suspended between worlds and dimensions. A sacred conduit of travel, peace, and power.
For the Selected, the Between is both a sanctuary and a shortcut across the stars.
The Focus Points: Magical Gateways Between Worlds
Scattered along the winding paths of the Between are ancient, pulsing rings known as focus points. These aren’t mere circles—they are living portals, shimmering with energy and locked to the fabric of every world a Selected has touched.
As a Selected walks past them, they spark to life—briefly illuminating the landscapes beyond: stormy planets, fiery moons, glittering cities, and lost worlds on the brink of collapse. Each focus point is a doorway, gifted by the Prime, allowing instantaneous travel between planets and locations.
But there's a twist—focus points are only activated when a Selected is nearby. And by channeling particles from a planet a Selected has previously visited, the Selected can return to that location again and again, stepping through time and space in a matter of seconds.
A Realm of Silence in a Universe of Chaos
While the known Universe is bursting with conflict, politics, and cosmic warfare, the Between remains untouched. Timeless, neutral, and sacred, it is one of the few places the Selected can move unseen—though never entirely unthreatened.
Because while the Between is calm, it is not without danger. The Other—the voice of destruction and seduction that opposes the Prime—may not claim the Between outright, but its influence has been known to bleed in through corrupted portals or unguarded minds.
Even here, a Selected must tread carefully.
Why the Between Matters
For fans of The Selected, the Between represents more than just a cool mode of magical transport. It’s a symbol of what sets the Selected apart—a gift of movement, insight, and cosmic privilege that links them to the Prime’s greater vision of expansion.
But it also poses questions.
What is the true origin of the Between? Who created it? Is it purely the Prime’s domain, or does the Other have its own secret access points? And as the universe edges closer to chaos, will this realm remain a neutral zone… or become a battleground?
Step Into the Between
The Between may hold more secrets than anyone ever imagined. It’s a place of passage, yes—but also of revelation. The past, the present, and the future seem to echo louder here. And for Rogan Bass, a man plagued by visions of doom, those echoes could be a path to the truth.
For any new fan of the Selected hungry for more lore, the Between is one of the most fascinating—and pivotal—parts of the universe.
The question is: if you stepped into the Between… which focus point would call to you?
