The Demigoddess Shiva last act was sending the party and temple back to the original timeline. A quick glance around the room shows no signs of Jalentriel, but two small toddlers and a little girl are there. The little girl appears to be elven.

The ruby heart does not bring someone back to life. It instead reincarnates me into their body. When I was Human and selfish, I wanted eternal life, not knowing that I would one day be reincarnated into a god. I created this item on Chrystaria. I had no idea that the item would even drag me from my godhood. ,”</p><p></p><p>The group let down their weapons. Alexandra told the party that there was a sharp earthquake just before their arrival and things got hazy. Then she and the children were in the antechamber with the group. The party members begin to complain about headaches as she spoke.</p><p></p><p>“I am betting that your headaches are due to the memories flooded into your head with the memories you already had. More than likely, your presence in the ice dimension prevented you from having the other timeline extracted from your head,” she said.</p><p></p><p>Everyone commented on how they remember both timelines. IN this timeline, the group went into the Yuan-ti temple to save the Nomarch’s twins babies. However, now the Nomarch is a gnome, Nikylik’s former apprentice Timothy Fonswinkle.

Instead, forged have been kept around as slaves and labeled non-sentient. Villages however are much larger and there is always constant strive between the real and the unreal.</p><p>The group had decided to travel to Quarta Set and see what awaits them.

He also winked an eye at Alexandra, an obvious sign of flirtation. He congratulated the party as several priests whisked the twins out of Alexandra’s hands. Searse explained that the city had become worried and thought the worse. When several said that a temple arose in the north, he assembled his best men to investigate. In this timeline, Syxen is assistant Kesmet of Defense to Searse.
