The river flows on as it has since the end. Flowing ever backward through time. Moment by moment unwinds as it rushes headlong toward the beginning. At one point, a blinding heat interrupts the flow, but moments sooner, the flash is undone. The river now teams with particles, trapped in the flow. Little particles of energy travel along, buffeted by the swirling force of the river. As time untwines the particles coalesce into a more cohesive form. Consciousness returns. Awareness of being surrounded by water. Awareness of traveling along without any control. Swirling water surrounds him. The timestream rushes on. Mustering what little strength he can, he tries to drift toward the edge of the stream. Suddenly, he smashes into an obstruction in the stream…a pillar of rock juts up in the path. Caught upon this obstruction, he tries to concentrate on the surroundings. The timestream has been joined by another. Two rivers…two alternate futures flowing back to a common nexus. He concentrates upon his form, forcing it to become energy again. He formulates a blast of psionic energy and translates his body out of the stream, and back into the physical world.
