A few days before [[Christmas]] in [[2020]], a [[gift]] is found in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], a [[pocket dimension]] inhabited by [[Clockwork Cherub]]s. One of them, [[Carter-1277]], tears off its wrapping and discovers that it is a large [[book]] — a freshly-written [[Auteur's Abecedarium|abecedarium]]. The Cherubs summon [[Lord]] [[Thymon]], a [[time-demon]] from [[the Void|the Void Between Worlds]], and ask for his opinion. | A few days before [[Christmas]] in [[2020]], a [[gift]] is found in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], a [[pocket dimension]] inhabited by [[Clockwork Cherub]]s.

He not only advocates for the opening of the book, but sets up a dramatic [[book reading|reading]] of it. | Thymon identifies the book as coming from [[N-Space|the Third Universe]], and warns the Cherubs that whoever caused it to materialise in their dimension must have fearsome "metatemporal capabilities".
