Our intrepid heroes, and others not quite so wholesome.

Sara’s not all that different. She has the same problems as a lot of eleven-year-olds, feeling awkward, trying to make friends, and helping out her single mother. She is a straight-A student, but when has that ever won anyone popularity? In fact, the kids at her school (and truth be known most of the teachers too) generally consider Sara a know-it-all, but then can she help it that she just happens to actually know everything? Born tied to the font of all knowledge, Sara has instant access to the answers to any questions she asks. If you think that knowing everything in creation sounds great, well then you may want to read our cautionary tale first. How was Sara born with such a gift, why is she being chased throughout creation because of it, and will she ever just get to live a semi-normal life?

Which would you choose? Being trapped in a bed, born unable to speak and walk, lorded over by a cruel nanny and deprived of your one joy of playing the piano, or trapped in the body of a monstrous creature, able to breathe underwater, see in twenty different ways, jump sixty feet into the air, cling to walls, and expertly wield unbreakable claws, sharp teeth, armored tails, and powerful pincers? Now that he is living in the body of the great Chimera, Jonathan Wheeler, for his part, is as happy as he has ever been—too bad the rest of creation has plans for him also.

What is the deal with this cat anyway? Sometimes he talks and walks upright, and sometimes he acts just like a normal cat. He seems to know a heck of a lot for a simple alley cat from Tacoma, Washington, and why of all things can Sara’s powers not get a fix on him? Does he even have a real name? I sure hope someone manages to pin this critter down at some point and get a straight answer out of him. Then again, who ever got a straight answer out of a cat?

Everyone has a duty in life, a responsibility of some kind, be it to family, to friends, to a job, or even to a goldfish. Now imagine that everything you do, everything that you work for, the fact of your own existence even, has to remain a secret. You can never receive praise or even notice from those who matter most. Rithrial has known this sort of duty since the dawn of creation. Charged with watching over all things that could never be, in a city that never was, he is unseen and forgotten, even by heaven itself. Some people might learn to hate such an existence, but then they aren’t angels and their hearts aren’t woven entirely of pure faith. Why has this forlorn protector taken it upon himself to aid Sara and Jonathan, and just what are his ties to them and the Fish Man?

Fear is a funny thing; it can be a powerful motivator, it can warn us of danger, and it can remind us that we are alive, but sometimes it can consume someone entirely. There is nothing more dangerous than a person, or creature in this case, in a position of power who becomes one with fear. Always it leads to the need to control everything and everyone around you. In the Fish Man’s case it has even gone further, to the need to control everything in creation. Just how does he plan to do this, and what part does he have planned for Sara and Jonathan?

He has no past, no future, and no world to call his own. He is a hero who never was and who never will be, bound to an evil will and forced to hunt Sara and Jonathan relentlessly throughout reality after reality. Will he ever know himself again? Or will he destroy Sara, and with her, the last chance he has of ever being free?
