In a ship, in a galaxy filled with countless stars and empires. The screams of pain from a woman filled the medical ward. You could hear the voices of doctors and the husband of the woman. The human is called Ellis Tremor. The husband is called Will Tremor. Will and Ellis had been on the ship all their lives. They were from a long lasting family. The Tremor family, it has existed as long as the ship has been in space. For centuries.

Will is the son of the Seer family. Who married Ellis and took the name of Tremor unto himself. Ellis is the young lady of the Tremor family. She is Incredibly smart. She has been taking care of public meetings, organising funds, and managing finances. Will Tremor however is the chief of the public order, or police, on the ship.  They had been together for a few years now and decided to have a child.

A few months later they are in the hospitable ward. Get the gist? Anyways, when Ellis finally held the baby and looked into those pure blue eyes she cried. Then she hugged her new child. She said to her husband, “Lets.. lets call him Rines.”

He took a look at his wife and the child. Then he said “Then his name will be so. Hello little guy. You are now Rines Tremor.” The husband tries to hold the child and play for a bit. The baby giggles and the family laughs.

Ellis took Rines back. “You are Rines Tremor, make your mother proud will you? Hahaha~”

They took the baby home and he was fed by his mother. The baby explored the crib it was put in, countless stars were what the child saw at the top of the crib. In the baby’s eyes the world was beautiful, amazing, and calming. The baby’s eyes start to glint with the glimmer of slight intelligence. Yet the baby’s mind was still pure.

It’s been two years since Rines Tremor was born. He was considered a baby genius due to his abilities to walk and crawl already. He also said his first word. “Star” Or at least he tried to. The kid grows slowly and steadily. His mind constantly absorbing the information of the environment around him. His eyes that glimmered with intelligence got filled with another light. A touch of wisdom seemed to have entered Rines world.

Another two years later and Rines has grown even smarter. Able to write and do basic math at the age of four. He is considered amazing by the grownups. They have a lot of expectations for him. Especially his parents. Rines has grown close to his mom and dad. They are a happy family that healed the soul when you looked at them. Then in Rines’ head he hears a voice.

Rines POV

How are you doing?

Rines feels that the voice is unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. He replies aloud, “I’m not aloud to talk to strangers so I can’t talk to you.”

Haha! Don’t you worry about a thing. Let me introduce myself. I’m Senir. Aka Rines backwards!

Why?

Because I’m you. A smarter version of you. At Least you’ve realized I’m in your head.

I don’t understand what your talking about?

Ofcourse! You're still too young to understand. I’m going to sleep for a while though. I can’t guarantee I’ll be as nice as I am now then though. When I come back you should be 8 years old.

Your leaving?

Course. Got to make sure I don’t influence your actions from a young age. After all you’ve got a lot to learn. I’d stay and chat but I’ve just pulled myself together. Goodluck less smart me!

You don’t seem very smart.

Hello?

…

The voice is gone?

I will meet him again when I’m 8? I guess I got four years till I meet the voice again.

Back to being a Narrator POV

With that incursion Rines started to think about that voice. For about three hours before he lost interest. The other kids on the ship were slightly jealous of Rines, however when they actually talked to him he’d speak of things like a adult. He would use logic and reasoning to explain most things. He actually made some friends, because he was not only smart, he was helpful to others. He grew slowly over time. At six years old he had explored most of the ship's lower decks.

Finally, Rines has grown into a 8 year old boy. He grew up comfortably. Made a lot of friends. Plus he could easily fit in with everyone. He was considered a genius. The other kids made a nickname for him, Mastermind. Enough about that though because today is the day he turns eight years old. The day Senir returns.
