( Part I , VIII , X )
What could possibly be lurking under the Wordspace, that would impress even the difficult to surprise Surprise? Dream looked upon the answer to that mystery now, and was perplexed.
"Boo." Said the ever chipper Surprise.
"What is it?"
"That, dear lady, is a mystery beyond my understanding. It seems to go on forever, stretching to the under-horizon and beyond."
"It's fantastic! It's beyond my wildest dreams! It's completely incomprehensible!" Dream was a little stunned.
"Yes. Exactly. We had Recursion working on what it might be for months now, but they're baffled and keep handing their calculations around in a circle. Finally, we had to take them off, when they began writing jokes in ever smaller boxes on the same piece of paper."
"Recursion?" Asked Dream.
"They were discovered after you vanished. We might bump into them later, several times. Try to not laugh at the hats."
"This could well be confused with complete gibberish, you know."
"Sometimes a spot of gibberish is necessary. Especially in times like these. Up above us, an Invader is causing chaos. It's a miracle that no-one has died."
"It all looked normal when I awoke." Observed the long absent dreamer.
Surprise looked concerned, wrinkling at the letters. "We don't know exactly what has happened. We got some odd fragments of message through Mysticism, but they didn't make much sense, except for the word 'cataclysm'."
A noise boomed around the massive space under the world. It sounded like a word. It sounded like 'infinity'.
"Infinity? What's that?" Wondered Dream.
Surprise looked into the distance, at the endless Thing that stretched underneath their world. "I wonder..."
