She's smarter than Alexius, too.

That helps, of course.

And all around better, really.

That certainly gives her confidence to proceed.

The next day, Eliana will lay out the magic circle to undo the time loop. The amulet is at one focus, Alexius at another, and Eliana herself in the third. (Her design takes some inspiration from Bellona's alchemical circles.)

Bellona can help - and can help keep Alexius from interfering.

Cassandra watches suspiciously, alert for signs of demons.

But despite the way Eliana slashes her palm and lets the blood drip down, activating the circle (and causing Cassandra to twitch)-

The only effect is the amulet glowing brightly, then crumbling to ash.

"Did that do it?" she asks, though she knows she'll likely be able to verify tonight with Truth...

"We're all still here... So I'd say yes, that did it."

"Excellent work."

"And you as well. Thank you for your assistance."

"It was my pleasure."

"Help me clean this up?"

Also with pleasure!

Excellent. Then their business in Redcliffe is more or less concluded.

The Inquisition might have a few waves to smooth over, but... Bellona's of best help elsewhere, especially sweeping for rifts.

Room for one more on that endeavor?

One more like Eliana, at least.

That works out well, then.

Nearly perfectly, really.

And how might it be improved?

Well, if Bellona's sister were here...

Ah, yes, that would do it.

So that'll need to be their next big project. 

Eliana will do all that she is able to.
