Prologue
Asteroids drifted together in bunches. Some bursting apart on their companions; some drifting farther away from the mass into emptiness that was space. This would be a normal occurrence had it not been for the red energy that was crackling around the field itself. Tremors ran through the gigantic rocks as the smaller ones burst from the unimaginable energy that ran through them. Some asteroids, as big as planets, shivered but did nothing more. Within the span of two earth seconds the world erupted.
Brilliant light burst from the asteroids as a whole. If any living being had been within 10 light-years of the event their ears would have exploded from the roar of sound. Their eyes would also have been history even if they had shut them and turned away from the light show. The stars that could not have been seen clearer anywhere else were suddenly blocked out of sight.
As soon as the chaotic explosion had taken place, it ended. The asteroid field was gone thanks to the intense heat of the blast, in it place was growing problem. As though a section of space was sucking in on itself a hole was opening up. As many Earth scientists would have said gravely, a black hole was forming.
Light itself was pulled into the growing hole; a hole many, many times larger than any black hole that had ever been recorded in the history of the universe. The gravitational force of the hole was literally pulling in the stars that were making their appearance known again after the blast. Billions of constellations where sucked into the black maw of the slowly expanding hole.
Thousands of light-years away the great being of the universe, the Avatar, jerked his head up as a great energy source made itself know to him. Knowing that something was terribly wrong he quickly teleported off to do something about it. Even farther away from the black hole a certain Eva Wei opened her sleepy eyes as the morning and a father of hers' came to wake her.
This day she knew had been coming; this marked the day that it had been a year and a half since she had won the Great Race of Oban.
