"Dangit Wong! I was going to go on a magical adventure with those guys! You ruin everything!"



Behind them, there comes a chiming shattering noise that, while not loud, is penetrating in a way that normal sound is not. The sound, were they in a position to identify it, is the precise sound one would get if one folded time and space together, and then hit it very hard with a hammer in the shape of a pocket watch.

It is a pretty sound, but somehow horrible, like watching a creature, majestic and beautiful, being strangled to death.





"You know? Maybe we should just run!"

"Ya think!?" says Wong.

And so they did.
