There's a beach at the end of time. Most of the suns around the beach are dead and white dwarfs litter the sky. The sun that warms the beach was one of the last suns to form in the universe. The beach is more than five hundred kilometers long and people come from all over time to get to that beach. There are a number of entry and exit points but one thing is a given, to enter the beach you must know magic.

Duncan McNeill and Diarmid McNeill arrive on the beach to meet the knight Sir Alveric of Kergulen. As they wait for the knight a beautiful woman wearing a long diaphanous gown walks up the beach towards them. Although the woman is incredibly beautiful something is wrong and both men feel that they are in danger. Duncan McNeill summons a spell to protect them.
