Lean and Iteral still looked at each other. They started talking a bit, while Caspian and Henry were going over their business.

"What do you mean, you are not from this timeline either?"

"I don't know. I just know I am not. At least it makes the most sense."

"True. Else time would not try to fix us."

"... what are we supposed to do now?"

"One of us has to leave." Lean takes off her hat that appeared because of her costume change.

"... well, Selaphiel seems to like you a lot more than me and I guess the King has some ties to you, so... I guess I drew the short straw." Iteral sighs, looking away.

"You do know that we only have to keep a certain distance. As soon as you are further away, it will stop."

"I know but... I am more a liability to you all than anything."

"I am sure you are not. You are just troubled. I trust in you to find your own path. Maybe soon discover your past."

"... I hope so too. Do you have something to keep in touch?"

"Well, I know radios do not exist here yet... but I have these." She pulls out two stones, both with identical paintings. "Sending stones. You know those?"

"I think so. I recall them from a past adventure."

"I'll tell you, when you can reclaim your spot. Then just clock back in. I'm not replacing you, I am just making sure Caspian is safe for the time being."

"... sure. I'll take a leave, I guess. Overshadowed by myself..."

"You are not overshadowed. Soon, they will beg for you to return. Trust me." Lean tried to talk some confidence into her, smiling.

Afterwards, Iteral takes out a clock and waves everyone an unenthusiastic goodbye. "Thanks for... tolerating me for so long." And with that, and a clock chime, she vanished.

Lean... looks at the others, a little embarrassed by the events. "I suppose I could elaborate what just happened another time? Now, I think it is time for rest. Don't worry, I'll make sure to treat you no less than when I treated King Caspian. If you all would follow me to your rooms for tonight..."

You know the first rule in combat? Shoot them before they shoot you.

He snapped, the deafening noise getting quieter. he'd changed his appearance once more, with neck-length silver hair and blue eyes. His skin was much paler, and he was now wearing a crumpled lab coat over a loose black turtleneck. He made his way over to one of the flickering scenes.

"Which one..."

Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

She smiled at the outfit change. "You look so nice..." She muttered under her breath so he wouldn't hear. "Hm..." Her hand stayed in Kendo's as she browsed, pointing to a random one. "That one."

He laughed.

"Oh, that one. It's... quite graphic. You sure?"

She smiled and nodded her head, holding him a bit more tightly. "Mhm! As long as you stay by me, I'll be fine. Besides, it can't be as bad as I've been through with Legion."

"Yeah... it couldn't be..."

he touched the memory, and once again, they were transported.

the sun was setting on a blood-soaked battlefield. Corpses lay, piled up, all around, as kendo stood in the middle of the field, panting and gasping for breath, holding a sword, dripping with blood, and a jagged, cracked bone, stained with the rusty-red color of blood. The current kendo stood next to Aret.

"Ah, the battlefield. You know, I alone killed all of these men."

weakness?

"Wow... That's actually very impressive." She looked around at the bodies. "What happened that provoked you? Wonder if I can touch them..."

"You know what these people were?"

The current Kendo looked around, before picking up a piece of faded fabric.

"The Holy Church."

He rubbed the fabric, brushing the dust off.

"They got in my way, so I destroyed them. Simple as that."

"I see." She didn't seem perturbed at all, lightly pushing a body over with the heel of her foot. "I forgive you. There's no reason for it to hang over your head anymore."

"Sometimes, the church... can go too far. A while ago, years and years, I decided to join in the annual festival of this land. The clergymen were able to get their hands on me... It escalated from there. Said it was a blessing to be cleansed of their sins and purified while pinning me down." She smiled lightly, looking down blankly. "I purged them all. Mind, body, and soul. I rid them of their existence, not just their sins."

"Interesting.."

He snapped, and they were back in the original room.

"Choose the next one."

"That one!" She looked up at him hesitantly. "Are you... okay?"

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be fine?"

He tapped the memory, this time they were transported to a void of white nothingness. This time, instead of the corpses humans, it was... angels. Kendo in this memory stood in front of a giant gateway, holding a bloodied, cursed knife.

"Ah, this one."

She watched the scenery around her. "Were they also in your way?" She tilted her head, wrapping her arms around his waist to keep him close.

"I told you already, I don't mind what you've done. It's all in the past, and even I can't tamper with the flow of time. The only thing you can do is forgive yourself and move on. Let go."

he let out a sigh.

"You're really serious. You really don't care? I'm a murderer. You don't care?"

"Kendo, didn't I already tell you?" She sighed, but kept her smile. "It's okay. I forgive whatever you've done in the past."
