The journey back was originally also supposed to take another two months but Akilah can’t wait that long. Instead she wanted to open a time portal, using forbidden magic Akilah would open a time portal on her side of the time stream and another portal two months ahead. On top of that she would have to put a spell on all of the crew in order to make them believe that had actually traveled for two months. One of the original reasons Akilah didn’t do this spell in the beginning of the journey was because of the amount of people. Placing a memory spell on all of them would be extremely taxing on Akilah, therefore she opted out of it. However, this time the numbers have halved meaning she’s not going to get as exhausted this time.

Though that wasn't the only reason she didn't open attempt portal, Akilah learned that apparently, she could only open a time portal to places she had already been to. This shocked Akilah as it was different from her teleportation portals as she could open them to anywhere, this also proved that it was still a lot about magic that Akilah needed to figure out. actually practicing magic in the real world with so much more different from reading them in her grimoire or even practicing them in her home. In her home she could open with no issue because she opened them in the same place which is why it was a shock to her that it didn't work this time. However Akilah would need to place that soft on a hold as she now needed to prepare for the time portal spell.

The sun has set in as Akilah was scouring the area she noticed that not all of the men were asleep, however this didn't bug killers she figured that she needed to put lace a sleeping spell on them nonetheless in order to make sure that it won't wake up during the portal traveling.

Akilah concealed herself behind a tree hidden from sight, after making sure no one had seen her she uttered “Somnus” and just like that everybody was fast asleep under her spell.

Then Akilah went to stand in the middle of their camping ground, she placed her hands above her head in a circle, bracing herself before taking in a deep breath and exhaling “Tempus itinerāns”

A strong bright glow started to emanate from Akilah’s body spreading throughout the entire camping ground in a perfect circle. Once the glow had reached the outer reach corners the camping grounds Akilah raised her hand before lowering, palms together, in front of her face. She opened her eyes, that were covers by a white film, emanating the same brightness as her body.

Akilah took another deep breath and uttering the final part of the incantation “Portal” and with that she closed her eyes, what felt like a gust of wind hit her and when she opened her eyes she was in the woods near their headquarters. The spell had been successful, but before she could celebrate, she was hit with the feeling of all her energy draining out of her body. She lower her hand and could feel that her entire body following after, she was struggling just to stand up. But she wasn't done quite yet.

Akilah straightened up her back and tried to firmly ground her stance, she gathered all her remaining energy and uttered “Falsa memoriā”.

This took all of her remaining energy and Akilah's legs could no longer support her, her legs folded beneath her and all Akilah could do was to protect her face as she feel forwards on her ground. Her arms didn't have the strength to pull her up, she tried to get up but collapsed, she had fainted from the exhaustion and strain she had put her body through.
