"The Revolutions of Time"


"There has been much experimentation with this process, each person sent
through time being equipped with a matter-proof box that is basically an
advanced time capsule, lasting for millions of years. Into this box (or
TAB, Temporal Anomaly Box) each person was supposed to write an account
of their temporal journey and leave it on the island that is presently
Daem, at specific locations decided on for that purpose. We would search
for those boxes in the present, to see if they had been delivered. None
have yet been found, though there are other possible reasons than death,
such as a failure to find the island, or the box's removal by someone in
an intervening time. Still, I am greatly afraid for your life Jehu,
especially so after what I discovered just hours ago in the classified
archives of the Canitaurs: there was strong evidence that the process
simply disintegrated those upon whom it was tried, instead of sending
them through time. This was kept from the public, and was forcefully
forgotten by those who knew, their reason being that Temis would guide
your travel better than the others who were not called as his servants.
If it were anyone but you, Jehu, I would probably have deceived myself
in the same way, but I cannot let you be destroyed like this.
