Part 1

Horacio is a man of routine, a man of strict schedule. Though he really has no need to be, for Horacio can stop and start time as he pleases. He can speed it up, he can slow it down, he can even bring it to a complete stop, but no matter how much he would love to, he cannot turn it back. Time, like pawns on a chess board, can only go forward.

Tomorrow, somewhat begrudgingly he is taking on his first (and last) apprentice. A twelve year old girl named Saniya, together they will turn the world upside down.
