At the River's Edge

Sometimes magic and spiritism can be one in the same. Luci Lin, an unwanted child discarded at the river's edge by an uncaring father and a mother too filled with fear to object finds life despite the callous heart that conceived her.
The magic is the childless couple out for a morning stroll along the river's edge being led by a butterfly to a newborn baby rolled up in rags laid in a bush near the river's edge as an offering to a voracious reptile.
The spiritism is the belief in the one true God and that the butterfly was one of his angels sent to watch over that child.
From that day forward the insect would watch over and protect the child it rescued at the river's edge.
