The mirrors weren’t reflecting anything aside from the environment… so that made Aion frown since it would be hard to pick the right one.
When Aion thought of that, the relics began to glow and eventually fired a beam of light toward the third mirror. It seemed that they answered his thoughts, but that was suspicious since it was too easy.
“I guess it worked… now I need to confirm a few things like what the me from this timeline is doing,” Aion thought and then began to fly toward the East.
“This is a bad sign…” Aion thought while he hesitated in checking the interior. “I suppose it will be better to just check the enemy’s country to see if I went to kill them all.”
After a few more hours, Aion managed to find the first city that he invaded in the distance… the place was covered in smoke while burning all over. It looked like he arrived in the morning after his attack.

When Aion approached, he took a dark cloak from his inventory and covered his body before landing on the wall… he regretted being that curious. He saw countless corpses around the city and on the streets, and some couldn’t even be called corpses anymore but chunks of flesh. That Aion didn’t spare women or even children…
“I don’t need to confirm anything else…” Aion thought while having a hard time looking at his own actions if he had faced a different outcome once he returned from his work trip.
“Still, she has the knowledge of some timelines, and I wonder how she was able to obtain it…” Aion rubbed his chin thoughtfully while grabbing the relics. “I should be careful while dealing with her since she might lead me to a future that is only convenient for her.”
Eventually, Aion opened his eyes and then found himself in an unknown room staring at an unknown ceiling.
His vision was starting to lighten and gradually revealed a simple wooden ceiling, his vision was getting used to it until he decided to sit down, but he failed. His body moved only a little later, and he got up. Aion had no control over it…
After some time, Aion saw his body leaving the room and quickly found a staircase. He came down the stairs of his room after picking some items and wearing a shirt with an iron breastplate and a bracelet on his right arm, simple brown pants with leather boots.
“Hah!”
“Hah!”
“Finally, you are awake, Malon. Good morning.” the red-haired man said.
Malon… that Malon. Aion was shocked when he realized what was going on. He was seeing the past of that guy. Was it because he was using the relics? Aion also wondered if Arlana knew that such a thing would happen… he thought that he would only confirm the future that she mentioned. In any case, looking into the past might be helpful. He only wanted that it wouldn’t take too much of his time…
“Hurry up, the boys have already started training. Go get your sword.”
“What’s the problem?” Malon’s father frowned.
Malon spoke a little nervously while in response, his father just stared with the same serious expression. Aion watched all that like he was Malon, but he didn’t feel anything. He could only hear and see, which was more than enough considering that Malon was way too meek, and that made him feel creeped out, considering that he grew to become a lot more somber.
He spoke as he turned to watch the young men training. Malon took his hand to his neck, where he managed to pull a rope that showed him a silver ring being held by it.
“All right,” Malon’s father said.
