Iteral was picking up her tools when she saw the vision of light. She was a little surprised, even with the face obscured, she could tell when someone glared at her. Using a different chronograph, an hourglass and turning it, she was able to uphold the vision for longer. Unsure... she asked. "Hello?"

She bowed in response to Iteral's greeting, long dress shifting with her movements. The material was sheer and silky, and reached the floor. Many gold chains and jewels adorned her body and the five pairs of wings on her back. When she spoke, it sounded like calm, clear water. "You... You are not of this world."

Iteral just... moves her hand around a little awkwardly, looking a bit embarrassed at that statement. Her own appearance was contrasting that newcomer completely. Wearing her clockmaker's essentials, but dusted and a little stained by lubricant, her face a little pale and also somewhat stained and messy hair. "... it's complicated. I don't know much myself." She looks away, not wanting to mention that she was outclassed by herself. "... how are you... able to see me? Are you a third me?"

"I am not you. I am what my people like to call the land itself. The Saint Deity who created all things on this piece of earth." She clasped her hands together lowly. "I remember you, Iteral. You've managed to surprise me yet again by meeting me like this."

"You're the Saint? I... remember her being dragged off in chains by that bedsheet Legion and his armada of pets." Iteral's ears kind of twitched when she mentioned her, her head slightly turning. "Wait. You remember me... and know me? F-Fondly? Wait. You don't mean that other one right... trenchcoat and all?"

"I mean you. Though, I know it isn't the real you." She extended one arm to Iteral. Her voice, her aura, her presence- it was all very familiar, yet not. That's how she was. "Come closer."

Iteral looks a little weirded out by the request. "Okay... I think I'll trust you. Please don't abuse it." She sighs and extends her hand as well, her other hand holding the hourglass in hand just in case.

She took Iteral's hand. It wasn't completely corporeal, but the ghostly feeling and force behind it was there, pulling Iteral closed to her so she could examine her better. "You've grown and changed. I can see it in you. But... Your memories. They've been wiped from our time together. You don't remember me at all."

"I am not sure how I am supposed to... wait. If I am not from this world, how do you remember me?" Iteral's hand felt cold, though that was just because of the vast amount of gears and copper pieces she touched while fixing her clocks. "I, eh... why do you feel so... familiar? Like I held this hand before?"

"You have. Well.... Not you. But the original you. See... You're a copy, my dear." Despite what she was saying, she kept a smile on her face. "Iteral was part of my court. She was a soldier who worked hard to protect me... But... One day, a large battle broke out between us and our enemy. She sent out many copies to help fight. I was already down, but not dead. She risked her life to save me, and her life ended up shattered in the process. Her, along with her clones died. But you lived."

"That's... eh... a lot to take in, actually." Iteral looks away, fondling the hourglass in her hand. She was... well, flabbergasted was not enough to describe it. She then uses the hourglass to push up her sleeve a little, showing a mark. "... I'm, eh... sorry that it was not her that survived." The clockmaker looks a little ashamed now, not mentioning anything else. Like how summoned Iterals are weaker than summoners... or how most summoned ones are either artificial or past their deadline. A silence just filled the room.

"I'm very sorry you had to find out this way. It wasn't my intention to upset you." She let go of Iteral and took a step back. "At the very least, a part of her lives in you, and for that I'm glad. Tell me, where is my replacement?"

"Look, I, eh... I'm sure you're not doing it intentionally. And I wish I could give you a better glimpse myself but..." She erects the parallel convergence (the time barrier) once more and looks around, waiting for an opportune vision. After finding one that is just a few minutes in the past, she alters it and shows it to the shining light. "Not much better, I suppose."

"Hm... After the capture of my land, it's only been further desecrated." She thought for a moment. "May I ask you a heavy task? I know it seems like much, but this must stop one way or another. I want you to gather up as many powerful people as you can possibly find and intercept Legion's magic that binds her. This will require you to fight him off, hence the reasoning for allies."

Iteral blinks for a second... and then just shakes her head to the point where it almost falls off her head. "Nope, nononononononononono." She even crosses her arms. "Your successor already tasked someone with that. Your sole archangel Selaphiel. The angel who, during heavy rainfall, left me outside a castle, paralyzed by a panic attack and all she did is hold an umbrella up for a second or two. The one who sent me to some pocket dimension with my friends when we tried convincing her that we need to take action. Oh yeah, the one who replaced me with a slightly more formal form of myself."

... well, she got her vigor back.

"And now I find out I am a copy, an alternate. I am legitimately weaker than her." She sighs, dropping to the ground a bit like a wet sack of rice. "... you could ask my other self..."

"Selaphiel...?" She seemed confused, then worried. "Oh dear... But, all of the angels have names that end with an a. The men have names that end with iel, but I have no male angels in my court." She looked down. "I wonder who she is..?"

Iteral raised an eyebrow, looking at the Saint with a bit of interest. "So... you think someone is impersonating her? Hmmm... do your angels have the power of banishing someone? Like, to a weird library or a place with just yellow walls?"

"I'm not entirely sure... Our powers are unique. But I'd like for you to go back to them and lead them along, bring them here as quickly as possible. I sense that something incredibly malicious is coming here, and my influence is waning. Please... You must help Aretstikaphaniela. She doesn't have much time left."

Iteral starts sweating, a little panicking. "Oh god, oh god, oh god... you're telling me that I'm the weakest me... and then tell me to go against a literal archangel, my better self and such, oh, they will never believe me, what am I supposed to do damnit..." She sweats uncontrollably, her hands jittering and she overall just becomes ever more anxious.

"Not go against. Go with. I'll be watching over you, you have my word. But time is of the essence, so I know if anyone can do it, it'll be you. Goodbye." Soon enough, she faded into nothingness, leaving behind only the ghost of her aura.
