Even our abilities have been unable to see beyond the magical force that was unleashed in that inevitable battle. Only those three men that passed over that black threshold knew – and they would keep that secret. When the Three emerged, they were haggard beyond description.

I noticed immediately that the Chaos Sphere was not among them. Had they broken it? Had they sent it elsewhere? Or was that haunted look behind their eyes not the reflection of horrible memories but the realization that it was not there at all? That none of them ever seemed to search for it – let alone mention its existence – has led us to believe that its history no longer coincides with our own and, instead, weaves a new story of death on another unknown world.
