25,000 B.C.

  The galactic black hole began eating another object. The planetoid survived far longer than the average planet or star due to its supernatural density. Forged long ago, at an earlier age, the intense radiation from the whirling maelstrom and swirling magnetic fields did not affect it. Not until it spun near the speed of light did the immense tidal forces begin to crack its surface.

  Spinning ever faster, each fragment resisted the stupendous forces around the black hole until finally, they shattered. Finally, this unique element transformed into pure energy. It radiated in all wavelengths of visible light, and beyond, to light never seen before.

  The radiation coalesced oddly, through forces unknown to science, into a single beam of energy, radiating from the black hole. It swept out like a searchlight from the galactic core, across the light-years—straight toward the Earth, and its teeming multitudes.

  Fortunately, the Earth was twenty-five thousand light-years away from this cosmic conflagration. Unfortunately, this happened twenty-five thousand years ago.

  Magic began to arrive on Earth.
