Prologue

12 year old Spock braced himself as the swirling light began to form in a circle before him. He knew what was coming. He was going to another reality.

Spock felt the sucking from the swirling portal begin to suck at his clothes. He was being sent to another reality; something about his future self being targeted by some manner of time traveling attack towards his younger self: this time's Spock. Him. He didn't have all the details. However, he was leaving, and didn't know where to. He could only hope the variation of Earth he landed on was capable of supporting Vulcan life.

Oh, and that was another thing. He was going to Earth. He'd heard something about the weapon targeting him being fired from Earth, but he didn't know if that was related. All that he knew was that once he was there, he was safe from the assassination attempt, however his retrieval would take quite a long time, specifics unknown. And now… now the portal was at its peak. It was time to leap.

And Spock did, leaping into the swirling color and light. It enveloped him, and somehow he knew… it changed him.
