"We did kind of go back in time but at the same time we did not. Basically we can see what has already taken place but we cannot change it." Loa says in explanation.
Looking out at the scene before the trio one would see a younger Loa running about helping the minor fairy's flowers grow, she was also helping repair some houses that had been damaged in the recent storm. Then all of a sudden the vibrant colors of the forest dimed a little, like as if the very color of the world had been drained. Then as quick as it came the darkness coalesced into the form of a humaniod. The figure fell over after swaying a bit. Loa seeing this hollers out and slowly walks over "Hello? Are you okay?"

"Selene, why would you use shadow magic like that? You could have died, idiot!" Serena asked. She was amazed that an earthling could use magic like this. Although now that she thought about it, this magic was very similar to the magic used in the mirror of truth. She wondered for a second if they where ever able to fix the damage that she did to the mirror... back on the topic of magic, she realized that she shouldn't be so surprised at loa's abilities.

"I clearly didn't know what I was doing Serena!" Selene says sounding slightly angry. "Selene, be quiet please." Loa says. The figure begins to attempt to stand up (without success) and ends up just sitting on the ground. "Well that didn't go as planned..." By now one could tell that the figure was a girl and begin to notice some details about her, like how she was very pale and dressed in a short purple dress.
"Miss? Are you okay?" Loa asked after walking over to sit beside the girl.
"Am I okay? I don't know, maybe a nap would help. Can I go take a nap?" The girl says with an almost child like tone.
"Okay before you go take a nap can you tell me your name?" Loa asks calmly.
"My name? My name is Selene, can I take a nap now?" Selene asks hopefully.

Serena burst into laughter after seeing Selene's child-like behavior. "Selene, you are so cute!" Serena said, still laughing so hard she almost struggled to breathe. She was seriously wondering how Loa put up with that girl. She also couldn't help but notice how out of character Selene was acting in the vision. "How many years ago was this?" she asked.

"This happened about four...." Selene starts to say but is cut off by Loa's laughter.
"As Selene was about to say this happened about four years ago." Loa mentions once she gets control of her laughter at least to speak anyway.
"Anyway I'll summarise how I ended up here so we don't have to watch past me do so. I was experimenting with magic to see if I could travel quickly between places if it became necessary, as in those days I was constantly on the move. As I was experimenting I discovered how to shadow travel. Of course I probably called it something else at the time, probably something like Ulterius ferre umbras." Selene says
Loa decides to cut in and say "Tell her why you decided to stay in my wonderful little forest, instead of explaining spells."
"Sorry I easily get off topic. as to why I stayed, well Loa offered and I didn't really have anywhere else to go so I accepted." Selene says as the illusion around them fades.
(translation:Shadows carry me forward.)

The beast had seen no sign of the angel for a while. Worried, it made its way back to where the red-headed fae girl lived. It sensed magic being used. Curious, It walked over to the house and looked through the window, being careful to conceal itself with magic. It balanced on the large rocks by the window, nearly falling a couple times before it got close It saw the three girls in what appeared to be a trance-like state. Seeing that the angel was unharmed, it turned to go back into the forest. Attempting to back up, the beast lost its footing on the rocks and landed with a thud, its head against the window of the house.
The illusion faded and Serena found herself sitting on the bed in Loa's room again. "I guess you really are a lot like me. Selene, I'm..." She started to say before getting cut off by a loud thud. Looking out the window, she was greeted by the sight of a large beast with blood-red eyes and crooked fangs.

"Anyway thats how Selene and I met." Loa said right before she noticed the large very draconic looking beast standing outside her window. "Odd, it doesn't have wings."
"What doesn't have wings Loa?" Selene quietly asks
"The dragon outside our window"Loa answers.
"Dragon? What do you mean dragon?" Selene asks sounding slightly panicked and trying to not look out the window.

Serena facepalmed at the dragon's clumsiness. Selene, that is crimson. "He is a friend of mine. He looks scary, but he won't hurt you. He is an imperial dragon. They are more magically gifted, so they don't need wings to fly. I can't believe he was able to track me all the way here!" Serena said as she got up to go outside and greet him. "Come on, I'll introduce you to him."

"An angel who is friends with a dragon, Serena you are most interesting indeed" Loa says, looking at Serena with a quizzical look upon her face.
"Oh my goodness! You know a dragon! That is awesome!" Selene hollers out, momentarily forgetting that they were inside a small house.

Serena ran outside the house and towards the large dragon. "Crimson! You clumsy beast!" She yelled happily at the dragon, who was still laying pitifully on the rocks. Crimson got up and slowly walked towards Serena, limping a bit from his fall, but mostly unhurt.
"Serena! I've been looking for you for weeks just to find that you stole some stuff and got yourself into trouble!" Crimson said in a booming voice inside Serena's mind. He growled at the angel, his crooked teeth showing.
"Sorry. I needed to find food somehow. Unlike you, I have to eat more than once a month you know! Serena replied. She instinctively spoke out loud, even though she could have used telepathy like Crimson was.
Crimson's red eyes glowed menacingly and he continued to growl. "I don't care how often you must eat! If you get yourself in that kind of trouble again I will personally be the one to rip you to shreds. The guards will be the least of your worries!"
Serena ran up to and hugged the dragon. "I love you to Crimson. I know you wouldn't do that. If anything you would just run away."
