	Roseshield stared at Taurion, shock clear on his face. Taurion returned the look, but in place of shock, fear. They both looked at the potion together and then looked back at each other.
"I think I should go back now..." Taurion said, taking a step towards the potion only to have Roseshield grab and throw it at him.
"Go. I can feel the timeline unraveling," Roseshield said, moving to draw another sigil just in front of the door.
Taurion merely nodded and downed the potion, thinking about the year 1000 so he could go back...



He woke up on his back staring at a dark sky surrounded by an ash filled plain. He rolled over and tried to cast a spell that he normally couldn't. Levitating a clump of ash, he beamed with joy as he realized the potion was a success.
