I remember that. ...You had a whole other life then.

[croibhristeoir]

More so than you realize.

[Unusually for him, Diarmuid had so far seemingly made a point of just not talking about it.]

[unknownrival]

I think I might be able to sympathize, if not understand.

[croibhristeoir]

I wouldn't want to trouble you with it.

[unknownrival]

It wouldn't be a trouble.

[croibhristeoir]

...

[He hesitated, looking uncertain.]

Honestly, the specifics have become considerably hazy in my memory. I assume the community's responsible for that. If I recalled all of it perfectly, it might not be...healthy, strictly speaking.

[unknownrival]

No, it wouldn't. I know that I've accumulated sets of years of memories that don't match up.

[croibhristeoir]

...I'm afraid we may be talking about far longer than one or two fabricated lifetimes.

[unknownrival]

How long?

[croibhristeoir]

[Now he's definitely hesitating.]

[unknownrival]

...you can tell me anything, you know.

[croibhristeoir]

I know, it's just...I do not wish for you to worry needlessly.

[unknownrival]

It isn't needless when it concerns the one I love most.

[croibhristeoir]

...It was long enough for me to lose track.

[unknownrival]

And from what I know of that universe... not pleasant.

[croibhristeoir]

What you should probably realize is that I never became a Servant in that reality. I made my wish and formed a contract on the day I would have died.

There was a great deal of time between that and the points which the community actually recorded.

[unknownrival]

...Go on.

[croibhristeoir]

That nature of the wish I made gave me...somewhat uncommon powers, even among magi. I can not call it 'controlling' time, as that would imply I ever had more than the faintest semblance of control.

As far as utilization in combat I could pause time in the immediate area, but...that was the limit of it. Outside of a fight, there was far more to it.

[unknownrival]

[He's just listening for now.]

[croibhristeoir]

As it turned out, I could...travel through time. Forward, backward, and whatever else there might have been.

So...that was what I did. If one was to look at the point at which I contracted and the point at which the community recorded things as a record, then I would have been the needle jumping back and forth erratically. I traveled from country to country as well, looking for...something. I don't know. I just kept moving because I had nothing else to do except fight witches.

[unknownrival]

Did you ever find it?

[croibhristeoir]

That's what I was trying to figure out just now. I'm...not really sure I know what I wanted out of it.

I think by the end of it I just wanted it to end. My powers were starting to get out of control, and time reset itself every time I was in immediate mortal danger. So it was either I continue forever, turn into a witch and die, or some third option I can't think of at the moment.

[unknownrival]

People in that situation don't normally live full and happy lives, do they...

[croibhristeoir]

I saw that much firsthand. Quite a lot.

[unknownrival]

I'm sorry. My memories are usually happier than that.
