Travibot clicked its mandibles twice, spun its compass-eye, and got to work. Its first client was a knight from a crumbling fantasy world, Sir Reginald of the Fallen Oak. He wanted a portal back to his battlefield. Travibot scanned him, beeped sadly, and instead led him to a quiet garden universe where time moved slowly. There, Reginald learned to grow apples and rest his weary bones. He never went back to war. He sent Travibot a thank-you note on a leaf.
“I want to go home,” she whispered.
Then it led her not to a portal, but to Elara Vex’s old beach.
Elara smiled. “Alright, little beetle. Let’s build her a new home.” And so, Travibot did what it always did. It took people where they needed to go. Sometimes that was a battlefield. Sometimes a library. And sometimes, just sometimes, it was straight into the arms of someone who would build a new world for you, from scratch.
