This was the moment Asura had been waiting for...

In a whirlwind of what looked like silver glistening sand appeared none other than the Enchantress of Time herself. Her staff of gold and silver with the crystal hourglass atop it, in hand, Asura at this time appeared to be no older than eight, having taken to her childlike form as this was the form the Aralangs were most accustomed to from before. As Time, age was no factor for Asura as she could appear as old as Existence itself or as young as a passing thought. It all depended on what the moment called for.

Sensors immediately detected an anomaly where Asura came in. Dozens of Aralangs went to investigate the area, while the entire dimension was on alert. A megalith-class shield went around Asura. Every anti- field the Aralangs had were activated and covered the area Asura was in. Thousands of Aralang Keepers, Dreadnoughts, and Sajuuks were at the ready, ready to attack.

And before one could even blink, Asura was gone from inside the shields and standing beside a random Aralang somewhere in a random Keeper nearby.

They quickly recognized her. The Aralang, at first alarmed and raised his rifle out, was now then calm, and put down his weapon. The Aralangs then went on their normal business, still weary of Asura. "What is it that you need, Asura? You shouldn't have come like this. You should have came less suddenly." asked the Aralang.

After simply nodding, Asura glanced at him, observing. "You were lost. Gone from the sight of Time itself." She gave her staff a small wave then tapped the ground with the bottom of it, the sand from the hourglass giving off a brilliant silver glow which extended throughout the ship and froze time for mere seconds before returning everything back to the way it was. "Time extends everywhere from the dimensional plane to the farthest reaches of Existence. It is one force life cannot simply live without... It is progress, age, and change. It is omniscient and and forever bound to existence itself.. For you to be gone from the sight of Time, you would have to have been gone from Existence as well. But the question is how... and where did you go?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #5 on:** January 06, 2013, 01:26:28 AM »

"Wait, what are you talking about? We didn't go anywhere," the Aralang said with a confused look.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #6 on:** January 06, 2013, 01:42:49 AM »

Asura only smiled, "You disappeared. Gone from the sight of Time, gone from the sight of everything."

Gaserlake · « **Reply #7 on:** January 06, 2013, 01:45:36 AM »

"What do you mean?" the Aralang asked with skepticism shown on his face.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2013, 01:51:06 AM »

So they were confused? Asura couldn't help but look somewhat puzzled. It did not look like these Aralangs were aware of what had happened the last eight years. Then was it true? Had they truly gone outside of existence, outside of the influence of time itself? Or had they been taken to the same place that Miss Hikaru had been taken to all those years ago during the Plext tournament? There was only one way to find out...

"I can show you," Asura stated, "But per my own rules, it must not help you in any way and yet it must not hinder you either. It must be knowledge you already knew or could possibly obtain. Perhaps you should check a calender?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #9 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:03:30 AM »

"Yes. As far as I know, nothing changed on our calendar. I can show our calendar."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #10 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:06:10 AM »

"Try checking a calender that is not yours, or several of them. I assure you, everything is not as it may seem." Asura continued to smile as she watched him.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:10:15 AM »

"Speaking of things that aren't ours, we did receive reports from our allies stating that we did leave. What you say might be true, after all. We are still in disbelief, but we're trying to get things straight. The stars in other dimensions don't add up, either. They suddenly went to another place. It seems like we moved forward in time." The Aralang then sighed. "Do you have any idea what happened?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #12 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:17:22 AM »

"As I said, you were gone from the sight of Time." Asura replied. "Time extends throughout all of existence, so it is to be assumed you were not in Existence.. You're not very good at listening are you?" She gave her staff a small tap to the ground as if readying something, "What is the last thing you recall?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #13 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:40:52 AM »

"The last thing I recall before strange things started to happen was when I was in a bar."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:50:22 AM »

"And after?" Asura questioned rather impatiently.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #15 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:57:20 AM »

"Then we noticed that the stars and planets in other dimensions were instantly in different locations, and then we received reports from our allies that we have vanished for eight years, and then suddenly came back."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #16 on:** January 12, 2013, 09:10:41 PM »

"So you do not remember... Very interesting.." Asura mused. "Let's try something else. You Aralangs are known for knowing the thoughts of one another. What is it that the leaders of your kind or those that were with them, last remember?""

Gaserlake · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2013, 10:59:59 PM »

"Yes, we've contacted the higher-ups, and they reported nothing unusual. There is confusion all over, so it has been reported to the Aralang Council, but they reported seeing nothing out of the ordinary before they noticed things being instantly different, as well as before our allies told us what happened."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2013, 03:00:35 AM »

Asura only sighed. It appeared that these Aralangs were not aware of where they had been or even that they had left. But was something like that normal for whatever had happened to them? Or were stranger forces at work here.. Forces that were even more powerful than Time? If only she had been keeping watch over the smaller events eight years more closely, instead of worrying over Plex.

"So you remember nothing the last eight years, the time before it being your last memory?" Asura asked to simply clear things up. "Even your leaders?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #19 on:** April 08, 2013, 12:06:04 PM »

"I'm afraid not," the Aralang simply replied.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #20 on:** April 09, 2013, 01:11:00 AM »

"I see... Well then it appears I was incorrect in my assumptions and have no more reason to be here. However..." Asure said before looking amused. "You may inform Gaserlake that he may soon have a visitor. A real, 'blast from the past,' as you may call it." At that, with a smile, Asura then disappeared.
