Aion wondered if those two wondered about the meaning of those words, he had some ideas, but he had to confirm them with Vaeral. Some examples would be people would notice discrepancies in historical records and accounts. Events that were once well-documented and widely known may have been changed or erased entirely. This could include changes in the outcomes of wars, the rise and fall of empires, or even the existence or achievements of certain individuals.
People might experience confusion or a sense of disorientation as their personal memories no longer align with the current reality. They may remember events, people, or places differently from how they exist in the altered timeline. This could lead to a general sense of unease and questioning of one's own recollections.
Changing the past can have cascading effects on personal relationships. People might find themselves connected to different individuals or have altered dynamics with their loved ones. Friendships, partnerships, and even family ties could be affected, and individuals may feel a sense of loss or confusion as they navigate these changes.
"Things are starting slowly, so only books are being affected," Vaeral explained. "Still, the more he moves, the more things will change. Change of memories in the people change in their families and friends… only those who are aware of his return will be able to avoid that, but I am not sure for how long."
Aion's guess was right… unlike what he did, Tenebres are altering reality in a dangerous way. Still, he probably knew a way or two to avoid most problems when he does that.
"We are fifty years in the past… it must be around the time our parents were born," Sailena said. "Still, we can't contact them since we aren't sure what will happen.
"Yes… First, we need to find Erval and Ailen," Malon nodded while he was looking for his clothes and gear in the corner of the room.
"I can give you a hand with that since it will also benefit me as well," Vaeral said. "Not like I have any other choice if there is a risk of me getting attacked as well."
"Why would you be attacked?" Malon asked while frowning.
"Have you ever heard of spirit magic?" Vaeral asked.
"No, I don't," Malon replied.
"There you have it," Vaeral replied.
"What…" Malon furrowed his eyebrows.
"I am probably the last one of my bloodline that can communicate with spirits and use their power, Tenenbres tried to wipe us out many times as well," Vaeral explained. "I would say that he fears us quite a bit and knowing that your friend Erval sent you guys to the place where I live."
That was convenient… still, why wouldn't Erval and Ailen appear in the same area? Aion could only think that they would recruit the witch that he found in that tower as well. It was better to split the word before Tenebres' actions were impossible to contain.
While he was packing his things, Vaeral explained what spirit magic was. In the end, he claimed to be a spirit mage, but he couldn't control a single spirit. Spirit magic is a form of magic that involves the manipulation and interaction with spirits or spiritual energies. It is a mystical practice that taps into the unseen realms and draws upon the power of spirits to manifest various effects and abilities.
In spirit magic, practitioners establish a connection or communication with spirits, which can include elemental beings, ancestors, nature spirits, or other ethereal entities. Through rituals, spells, or invocations, they seek to harness the energy and wisdom of these spirits to achieve specific outcomes.
Spirit magic often involves establishing a link with spirits to gain guidance, insight, or assistance. Spirit magic can be employed for protective purposes. Practitioners may call upon spirits to create barriers, shields, or charms that ward off negative energies, entities, or malevolent forces.
Spirit magic can be used to manifest desired outcomes through the assistance of spirits. Practitioners may work with spirits to enhance the effectiveness of spells, rituals, or intentions, drawing upon their energy and assistance to bring about desired changes in the physical or spiritual realm.
Spirit magic often emphasizes spiritual growth, self-discovery, and connection with higher realms. Practitioners may seek the wisdom and guidance of spirits to deepen their understanding of themselves, the world, and the spiritual forces at play.
"I see… what humans don't know, spirits can tell them, like how to defeat Tenebres," Aion thought.
"First of all, we need to find the spirit of the wind; once we get their cooperation, we will be able to locate your friends with more ease," Vaeral said once he put a backpack on his side. "After that, we will determine the next steps after accessing the situation."
"Excuse me, who died, and you the leader?" Malon asked while frowning.
"I am not the leader, kiddo. Just a temporary… guy telling what we should do, I guess?" Vaeral asked and then grinned. "Definitely not a leader, definitely. Anyway, you are fifty years in the past, do you know this place more than me? I find it hard to believe that you know even more about the world in the future."
Malon felt like sighing, but Vaeral had a point. He also was a bit too relaxed, so Malon had a problem with him… hopefully, his giving orders won't be a thing that will last for long.
"The spirit of the wind is located at the top of a mountain south of here, but it has a lot of monsters," Vaeral explained. "We can also use the place to use the wind spirit's powers to locate your friends. The downside is that I can't fight; I have poor health, you see. My best weapon is my brain, and you can't expect me to use it to headbutt the monsters."
Malon wondered about that, he wanted to say that perhaps he would get smarter if he were to use his head like that, but his sarcasm wasn't that subtle.
