As Shang single handedly storms a temple in Myst, he discovers a small child within. He confers with the Council of the Five Realms as opposed to her fate, but every member agrees that she must be killed (referring to the Jabberwocky, another such child that was saved). Shang cannot bring himself to do this, believing that the child has the potential to live a better life and takes her to Earth where she is left on the doorstep of a family that will come to raise her. That family names her Robyn Locksley.
