Certainly, it seems as if he is journeying to a set end on a path with no alternative choices. Until one day...

Tarak's Dust of Desire
When thrust forward almost a century and a half on, subsequent to being fragmented from his tribe, tracked down by tenacious bandits and then tragically meeting his demise – along with his parents’ – Tarak is in a dimension of bewilderment when he finds out that he has in fact been reincarnated and time-travelled to a contemporary Phoenix, Arizona, and now possesses more magic in his little blowpipe than he could have dreamt of.
However, he comes to the realisation that modern-day society is just as challenging as the mid-nineteenth century, and obstacles are put in front of the misplaced Apache almost imminently.
Jayden Adams can arguably be the bad influence on Tarak, as he befriends the time-leaping native. Nonetheless, Jayden suggests his new buddy to join his school. And so, Tarak proceeds on his conquest of new age education. But that’s when things take a chilled turn as Sunview’s vice principal is not to be trifled with.
