Where, once everyone is more appropriately sized, they can sneak inside, just in time to watch Eliana make a desperate play for Alexius's amulet, as Bellona attempts to fend off the Venatori forces closing in around them.

The other two watch with pained expressions as the third Bellona sacrifices herself for Eliana, her last words, "There always has to be a sacrifice for Truth," making them both flinch.

Permalink

Yeah, that's harsh.

But it's working as intended, because Eliana disappears in a flash of magic, leaving the way clear for Zera to hop down and clean up the remaining Venatori. Then, presuming the other two have followed, she sets her magic upon the fallen Bellona, winding the thread of her life back up. Blood reverses its spatter, wounds seal as weapon fragments exit, and breath reenters her lungs.

They kneel on opposite sides of her, ready to catch her when she jolts awake with a gasp. The first Bellona promptly hugs her; the second says: "You did it. We won."

The third Bellona takes a few gasping cries, then before a plaintive: "El-El?"

The other two squeeze their eyes shut. "Bellona Final's with her," the first says, tightening her hug, but the second says to Zera: "Can we return to the main timeline?"

"I can take you," she confirms.

"...She's got Bellona Final, though," says the third Bellona.

"Doesn't mean she can't give you a hug," says the second. "And you can see for yourself that Eliana made it out okay."

"They'll want to know we're okay, too, even if we're just saying goodbye," says the first.

"They are working on a way to rescue you as well," Zera offers. "From the, mm, call it official perspective, they don't actually know that I've already done it. So it will be a lovely surprise to see you all."

Permalink

"See?" says the first. "We cam figure out what to do in the future after we talk to them, too."

The other two nod. 

Permalink

"Next stop Thedas/Amestris prime timeline, then."

Permalink

With questions on the way? 

Permalink

If they like, sure.

Permalink

They'd like! (Even the third Bellona perks up at the prospect of learning more about how time works.)

Permalink

She has a feeling the best place to start with this group is the mathematical description...

Permalink

Seems so!

Then the travel time will pass in a subjective flash-

-and they show up outside Bellona's little house in Haven. (Not too long after her El arrived, Zera doesn't want to lock anything up that still needs a bit of room to flex.) All the interested parties should be in residence, so she steps up to the door and knocks politely.

Permalink

The door is answered by a Bellona! One in overall much better condition than the three that Zera rescued. "What - ?"

Permalink

"Hello! My name is Zera. I met your friend Ling a while back and she mentioned you were having some problems with a time loop rescue. I'm here to tell that I fixed it."

Permalink

Blink blink. " - What in the world is Ling up to - nevermind." She reaches forward to hug the most upset looking Bellona, shouting over her shoulder: "El! Eliana!"

Permalink

"Who is it, Lion- Oh. Lions!" In need of hugs, it looks like.

Permalink

The other two give Bellona three space for the most hugs, especially when she starts crying on her sister. 

Permalink

Hug hug. "I'm so glad you're safe."

Permalink

Eliana will... wait in the back. She is uncertain how welcome she is to the others at this time.

Permalink

"Didn't think we would be," the third Bellona says. "Didn't think I'd be - Zera put me back." She raises her head to look for Eliana.

Permalink

"I am sorry."
