A Recounting of Old Memories

"Five thousand years ago?" Scarlet asked with a confused look on her face. "What about five thousand years ago? I was doing nothing at the time."

She looked around and watched everyone's faces. "I came out to make some changes to the rules and help provide Phoenix flames from time to time, but that's it," she said. "I didn't do anything else noteworthy for a long time."

Yao Ning was slightly confused as well. "But… is that your final proper memory, lady phoenix?" she asked.

"No," Scarlet said. "My proper memory is one from around… I don't know, maybe a few dozen years ago? Or maybe a century or two ago. But those memories aren't very noteworthy either."

Alex tried to make sense of things but something wasn't right. The timeline was off.

"Lady Phoenix," Yao Ning spoke. "You died, not a century or two ago, but rather Five thousand years ago."
