Eons from now, at the end of all things, an alien named Par%l
sails through space discovering that all has been destroyed. Par%l returns to the
Berth to meet with hir superior Farys; they join their minds and deal with
their sorrows and Par%l reveals that all has been destroyed by the World
Breaker. Farys hands Par%l a tiding-egg which will hatch into a tiding-fly to leave
as a warning to the past. As Par%l sets out across space, the Berth slowly dies
behind hir. As Par%l approaches O%los, the birth-world, a single light can be
seen in the distance. It is the Breaker of Worlds, an impossibly immense
version of the Hulk, drifting through the cosmos, destroying everything in
comes in contact with and it finally hits O%los, smashing it to pieces. Par%l
launches the tiding-fly and it contacts the World Breaker and discovers it is
hollow, any soul being long gone. Par%l asks why and learns that the Breaker of
Worlds, is the One Below All occupying an empty hulk to destroy everything so
It can be alone. The tiding-egg breaks open sending the fly billions of years into
the past. And then everything is gone….
Epilogue: The Leader finds the tiding-fly and extracts a
valuable piece from it….
