And, on that day a mystical transformation would take place. A selected ancestor of days long forgotten would find a special person, and together they would travel to a place beyond tomorrow. Now, Desy's world was about to come to an end. It had been abused for too many generations, and there was no longer any hope for a future.

When she stopped spinning, she found herself just beyond tomorrow.
