Die sich erwärmenden Luftmassen gerieten in Bewegung und die Wirklichkeit begann sich zu verformen. Miniaturblitze schossen entlang einer noch unsichtbaren Grenze. Falk sah staunend zu, und er war so gespannt wie noch nie zuvor. Ein Lichtblitz stach aus einer anderen Welt hervor und begann sich zu öffnen und exponentiell auszubreiten.
