Spiritual Training

The mood became rather sour after their meeting with the gatekeeper. Tiara glanced at Arthur, who was walking behind her down the mountain path. He had been silent ever since they left the Temple of Awakening. 

"Who was that person the gatekeeper mentioned?" Tiara asked, knowing that this person was the only reason Arthur agreed to travel through the Spirit Realm. She wanted to bring his attention to more positive things other than the danger their friends were facing. 

"Hm?" Arthur turned toward her, his golden head unreadable for lack of expression. "Oh. Her name is Gala. She was a friend I made while I was in Alka for half a year." 

"When was that?" asked Tiara with surprise. "I didn't know you spent time in Alka." 

"I did, but not in this timeline. In order to fix some things, I overwrote the timeline we now live in and transferred all memories using runes. It's what people now refer to as epiphanies."
