Weeks after being given the task at the Valley City ruins she wakes in the camp set up by the soldiers there with her. As she gets up and teleports clothes and some lighter armour on she looks at the sunrise as the golden beams shine on her she turns to look at the city and walks to where a couple soldiers are.
"Morning guys" Villamire says
"Morning Villamire, the place give you the creeps too?" One soldier asks
"More than you know, its way to quiet and its ruins so it has a natural creepyness too it" Villamire says
"Yeah, the place is too grey then theres the occassional bones we find and the dead animals, sure they look like they died naturally but its just creepier that its here they die" Another soldier says
"Yeah I get what you mean" Villamire says as she walks away from them
Clocks appear in villamires eyes as she opens the timeline infront of her.
"Ok what to look at in the timeline today?" Villamire thinks to herself as she begins to look into the past with full attention
Meanwhile on the other side of the ruined city a team of Keireen soldiers walk into the city with a ballista.
"Alright we know theres a small contingent of soldiers here now and a girl whos main magic is time, take no chances use speed magic and hit them with the ballista. Dont fucking miss" The team leader says
"We wont sir" The other soldiers say as they manage to get a vantage point and take aim at the soldiers alongside villamire
Villamire and her soldiers dont notice but she looks at the timeline as one part of it moves erratically.
"The fuck? Thats not normal" Villamire says as she opens that part of the timeline and sees the ballista bolts coming there way so she quickly gets up
"ENEMIES INCOMING!" Villamire shouts
The soldiers quickly get up ready to defend as Keireens people see they've been had and quickly begin to fire bolt after bolt from the ballista. Villamire and the soldier dodge as best they can until villamire decides to freeze the bolts in time catching every bolt in the same place, Villamire then gets an idea and turns all the bolts around then unfreezes them causing the bolts to fly back to the enemy raining hell on them.
"Ok this is takign a lot of my magic, I have barely any left, better keep what I have to heal in case I get hurt" Villamire thinks to herself as she grabs a blade and runs with the guards into the city towards the enemy
Villamire suddenly goes flying back crashing into an old wall as a searing pain comes from her right leg and she quickly falls onto her side holding that leg which has been cut off by a ballista bolt. Villamire screams in pain and shock quickly trying to heal the wound. She falls unconcious for several minutes time enough for the Keireen soldiers to kill the guards with villamire and long enough for Villamires magic controlling the visions of the city to drop. When her magic drops the enemy soldiers get plagued with the events of the valley city destruction confusing the brutal ones and horrifying the softer ones and soldiers on patrol in the vision affected area dont know why the visions are happening again and run to catch their bearings. Villamire wakes up and sees the enemy soldiers looking at the vision versions of people from many years ago and looks at her bleeding leg and uses fire magic to cauterize the wound and stop the bleeding biting down on some cloth to try and prevent screaming from the pain. Villamire lays back down and pretending to be dead.
"Got to get more magic, they will be here long enough trying to find the way out through everything, whats real and what isn't. It should give me enough time to get more magic then kill those bastards" Villamire thinks to herself
Keireens soldiers walk around looking at people sometimes bumping into walls they dont know are still there but then walk closer to Villamire, one soldier trips over villamire who notices that hes alone so she quickly grabs his head and covers his mouth and drives a dagger into his skull and crawls behind the wall she was shot into and pulls the corpse over as well.
"Ok one dead and ther bodies hidden and I'm in this vision house makes me harder to see, guess its as good as any time to try and make a magic leg. Thank the first father taught me in case this happened" Villamire thinks to herself as she makes a magic leg
Villamire stands up looking at the Keireen soldiers through a vision window pretending to be one of the vision citizens.

"They are spreading out if I wait a little bit then I can start picking them off hopefully stealthily" Villamire thinks to herself
Villamire walks out of the house and uses vision houses to hide behind and gets close to one of the enemy soldiers and puts her arms around their neck and snaps it but another soldier sees this.
"HE-" The soldier begins to shout but quickly gets frozen in time unable to do anything or be aware of whats happening
Villamire runs over and slices across their neck and when she unfreezes them the person goes to continue what they were saying but blood spurts out of their neck and they begin to die slowly on the ground without magic they cant save themselves but villamire crushes their neck just in case. Villamire pulls the bodies out of sight and looks around for the enemy but the vision gates blow open and the city fills with vision soldiers. Villamire sighs.
"Fuck now they have an advantage, its harder to tell whos real or vision, I could get rid of the vision or even reverse it but I run the risk of using too much magic and not being able to sustain this leg. Just got to hope the first are with me" Villamire thinks to herself as she ducks into a vision alley and looks around the corners
A soldier runs towards her and she quickly stabs them but it turns out to be a vision soldier so it does nothing but go through the blade and her. Villamire facepalms and continues to look around until she sees the enemy squad leader and the ballista they had moving through the city vision soldiers running through them.
"Got ya" Villamire thinks to herself as she sneaks her way closer
"This day is one hell of a thing to see, I read the stories and heard about it from some others but they pale in comparison to seeing it" The team leader says to himself before laughing
"Oh this bastards so dead" Villamire thinks to herself
Villamire notices a bolt is already loaded into the ballista.
"I want a little bit of vengeance for my leg" Villamire thinks to herself as she freezes the ballista in time
The team leader stops in his tracks as hes no longer able to move the ballista. He gets considerably confused.
"What the fuck? Its completely stuck, cant even fucking levitate it. I shoudl test if it can still fire just to make sure nothing happens to me if I get infront of it" The team leader says as he fires the ballista but it does nothing
"Ok doesnt fire, maybe theres something fucking with its mechanisms and maybe the axels or wheels are fucked as well" The Team Leader says as he gets infront of the ballista to check the front of it
Villamire walks into view.
"Goodbye" Villamire says as she unfreezes the ballista causing it to fire its bolt directly into the leaders stomach and sending him flying into a few decrepit walls and then sticking him to the ground killing him
Villamire quickly ducks into a nearby alley and falls to the ground as her magic leg disappears.
"Fuck, using too much of my already little magic, I could speed up the process of getting mroe magic with a little bit of time... no not a good idea" VIllamire whispers to herself as she hears the footsteps of a living person running over to the ballista
"Seems they noticed their leader is dead, shit ones coming this way" Villamire thinks to herself and she acts dead up against a wall looking down so they dont see her face
One soldier walks down the alley.
"What the fucks going on!? Dammit I hoped I'd find whoever's killing us down here" The Soldier says
Villamire freezes the soldier in time and makes her magic leg again then she gets up and goes behind the soldier putting a blade to the back of his neck not touching it.
"You did" Villamire whispers into the soldiers ear
Villamire unfreezes the soldier and her words continue their journey into the soldiers ear unimpeded by time magic causing them to quickly turn around in surprise but cuts his own throat on her blade. The soldier falls down grabbing their own throat dying as villamire walks away
"After that guy I have to kill the remaining ones without magic save for the leg* Villamire thinks to herself
Villamire sees three soldiers grouped up in case they get attacked. Villamire runs in with some vision guards making it look like she herself is a part of the vision but when she gets close to the enemy soldiers she attacks them cutting through them without them expecting it and quickly killing them.
"Ok that was easy" Villamire says to herself as the adrenaline wears down and the last of her magic leaves her as she falls unconcious and her magic leg disappears
The patrols that were affected by the visions returning send the bravest soldiers they have to the valley city. Those brave soldiers meet up and walk into the city trying to focus on whats real as opposed to whats in the vision but they eventually come across the corpses of their allies and then find dead enemy soldiers and a ballista.
"Anyone got eyes on Villamire?" One soldier asks
"Haven't found her yet" Another soldier says
"She might be alive, first light shine on us and aid us in saving the young girls life please" The first soldier says as they fan out to try and find her
The soldiers eventually find her and realise shes alive, they begin heal her and teleport back to Reinholm to have a healer properly help her. Vernamai is informed about her condition and what the soldiers currently know as he stays with his daughter to help her. Villamire gets moved to Reinholm castle to rest and heal because of her bravery and so that she can be near her father while hes on duty in the castle. Villamire asks to see Reinlas who then proceeds to walk into the room.
"You asked to see me? Something wrong Villamire? If you blame me for what happened thats fine, its completely understand-" Reinlas gets cut off
"My king do you remember Lord Farenhale mentioning a book he saw in the future?" Villamire asks
Reinlas immediately gets confused about this conversation though intrigued.
"Yes, I believe it was when he actually discovered what time magic can really do he saw it in a time window" Reinlas says
"It was written by him but that book doesnt exist, he never wrote it and its in the future" Villamire says
Reinlas's eyes widen in shock and he looks at her.
"What does this mean Villamire?" Reinlas asks
"It may yet be possible that Lord Farenhale can come back" Villamire says as Reinlas sits in shock...
