Chapter I: Of Strange Fuzz and Much Confusion
The king of Gondor's chambers…
Aragorn son of Arathorn relaxes happily on the sofa in the chamber he shared with his wife. Contented by the comfort of his seat, the warmth of the chamber, the good food and wine he had just consumed in the company of good friends, and the familiar sight of his wife Arwen brushing her long hair, he is on the verge of drifting off to sleep when a fuzzy sound, just on the cusp of hearing, caught his attention. As he jerks upright and Arwen spins around, the buzzing grows louder, the room wobbles, white and black movement appears before his eyes…
…a voice speaks, boomingly loud in his ear. "Give me the remote! Muuuuuum!"
Elsewhere in the same castle…
Legolas Greenleaf and his companion Gimli son of Gloin are just completing a ferociously competitive chess match as Legolas's keen elven ears catch an unusual sound. As the sound becomes loud enough for Gimli to hear it, analyse it, become confused, the chessboard and players is shaken away and replaced by a growing patch of white and black blurred movement…
A remarkably similar situation, worlds and aeons away…
Zakath, Emperor of boundless Mallorea and his wife Cyradis, having just eaten dinner with their close friends King Belgarion and Queen Ce'nedra of Riva, are returning to their chamber. The corridor before them blurs, buzzes and dissolves into eye-aching black and white patterns…
Elsewhere in the same palace…
Queen Ce'nedra looks up from her daughter's sleeping form to catch the eye of her husband. The buzzing sound fills the room, obliterating the words she mouths at him as the room begins to peel away from them…
A rudimentary camp, in a field, on a hill…
Yamore of Tsynia watches the small cooking fire before his eyes disappear into a moving collection of black and white shapes…
A school dormitory…
"Can anyone else hear static?"
A university…
"Bursaaar!"
…A space so vast normal minds cannot comprehend it, an earth-shaking tussle between titans, the stuff of which legends are made…
"But I want to watch Spongebob!"
