This story follows the main characters from the end of Lost and Not Found as they make their departure from Haven and their arrival in Skythia, then gives a glimpse of what their life is like ten years after the end of that book, as well as that of a couple of the main (and minor) characters from Forget What You Can't Remember. This part of their story can also be found in the last two episodes of the Lost and Not Found - Director's Cut.
This story really helps fill in the other side of a part of Skythia's story, from the perspective of the Skythian employees who were tasked with trying to hide their flying city from some unknown, unseen apocalypse. Falling mostly between chapters 5 and 7 of Forget What You Can't Remember, if you pay close attention you can see some of the ways the 'doomsday event' they were trying to protect themselves from changed their lives in ways they didn't even notice.
In which the main character and Tink are escorted through Skythia's Great Museum by Paul, Skythia's mayor, spend a romantic evening in an awesome room, then get dressed up and head to Skythia's best restaurant to celebrate their 9th Anniversary, deciding to give living in Skythia a chance.
In which a powerful entity rewrites the world and its history, leaving only the wonderful, creative, imaginative, and magical behind, erasing and replacing all else, and in which -ten years later, after years of love and happiness and success and creativity- Tink and the main character leave Haven and come across the flying city of Skythia.

In which Paul makes his escape from the Doomsday he’s been predicting, arriving via private flight to Skythia -a flying city- in the middle of the night and being met by the city’s Mayor, Colm O’Reiley, who is eager to do whatever it takes to protect the city.
