description: After losing his great love, Mellissa, Traykie and his best friend Devon move to the capital to attend college. Traykie continues to retreat into a darker place and begins using his paranormal abilities in a devious manner. Traykie slowly recedes into the shadows and sees himself as: "The Preventer" of evil. His justice is usually swift and final. He seeks wholeness but can't find it in his vigilante missions. He sinks deeper into the darkness until he meets Alexa, who heals his broken heart. Finally, he comes to terms with his own views, thoughts, emotions, and is able to forgive, and accept his destiny. Only then, does he finally see what Mellissa had already foretold.
