Prologue

Winona Kirk gasped. There was a man crossing the desert. With a bundle in his arms. He couldn't stand the Vulcan heat much longer and hope to survive.

"Ambassador Sarek! Look!" she screamed.

"You need not yell, Commander. I'm right here," the Vulcan ambassador chastised her.

"I think I do," she snapped, "Look! That man! He's dying!"

"Oh my. We should help him, Sarek. That bundle. It looks like a baby," the ambassador's wife, Amanda, gasped. Winona froze. A choked sob escaped her throat.

"Jim," she whispered. Amanda noticed, and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I know. I would feel the same way, too. I do, actually. I have a son, Spock," Amanda told Winona.

"Then help me help that man," Winona pleaded. With that, she took off running. Amanda grabbed Sarek's wrist and pulled him after her as she too started running. Winona reached the man in mere minutes. She gasped when she saw him. His eyes were black. Black irises instead of green, blue, or brown eyes. He gasped for breath and pushed a squirming, wailing bundle into Winona's arms.

"Care for her as if she were your own," he murmured, " The Princess of Beta…zed…Jas…min…El…aine…Ken…obi…"

With that, he slipped away. Amanda, dragging Sarek, arrived to a startling scene. Winona was kneeling in the sand, holding a little baby.

"Her name is Elaine. He told me before he died. I'm going to adopt her as my own child. I always wanted a little girl," Winona said, tears pooling in her eyes, "She will be loved and raised as if she were my own child."

AN- Yes, this is the discovery of Elaine's past.
