​     The platform Adam and Adama stood on crumbled to pieces. 

     Adam held Galatea tight to his breast so that he absolutely would not let her go.

     Floating in empty Domitikan space, Adama held back her head and roared with laughter.

     "Enjoy your moment, father!" she shouted, "because here comes The Fours!"

     They fell out of the sky, or rose up from the bottom of the sky, or whatever.

     They looked like snakes, although several billion times larger, and they were the color of absolute darkness.

     They had no tails, though, these snakes...

     because, in fact, they weren't galaxy-sized snakes at all...

     but tendrils.

     The tendrils of The Fours.

     The entities that surrounded Adam and Adama scattered.

     The Domitikan universe, quickly, so quickly, filled with snakes of absolute darkness.

     The Fours was on the attack.

     If Adam and Galatea didn't leave immediately, they would be destroyed along with everything else in the Domitikan universe.
