   Summary

   Mycroft had found himself in a plane crash, barely escaping with his life after a meeting he was attending was intercepted by a readicalist group; the crash proved not fatal for him but for his pilot. Now, in the middle of the Sahara Desert and with little to no experience in aviation mechanics whatsoever, he would have to figure out how to fix the plane, and why on earth a small child appeared out of nowhere, asking him to draw her a sheep.

   The child appears to have no name whatsoever and refuses to answer any of his logical questions. She reminds him of a girl he once saw, someone important to him, but it couldn’t be; she had died along with her mother half a decade ago. Yet the resemblance to his little girl, his Little Princess. Is uncanny.
