How could a child tumble through a rent and rupture in time and space? Sopho saw and heard her as she fell into the universal continuum and lay helplessly trapped. He instinctively knew this child was a rarity. He stooped to free her so he could hold her dangling above the cosmic maelstrom.

Sopho had only an instant in time to save this child. With her he was gone to a world where another child lay dying and there he hovered, for a mere moment, before he was gone and two children were saved as one. But the spatial rent had to be repaired before, from it, could come ripples of disruption and distortion across the multiverse, and the child had to be allowed to evolve to what she truly was.
