A young girl at the age of four falls from a slide while playing with her brothers and sisters. Striking her head, she laps into a coma. A near fatal accident? Or was "something" else responsible for the event-with motives inconceivable to the average person? She was a Special One-a Chanelor with abilities born to humanity once every five centuries. The "something" which orchestrated her fall and the subsequent "abduction" of her powerful essence was an Emissary of Light acting on behalf of Ultimate Good. The reason: Reality on all levels and dimensions was being threatened by Ultimate Evil in all its forms. For the remainder of the life, Bridgetta would fight to save all from utter obliteration by entering realms never before imagined through her dreams. Her dreams were the key and the doorway to the fantasy. Her mission was to save Eternity. Pray she wins.
