[It is a very solemn Giovanni who addresses everyone today. Maybe it’s due to the cold which, admittedly was a problem that even an extra wrap could not quite solve, but more likely it was due to the book on Renaissance history that was sitting open faced on his lap. He had finally found the time to read the book he had traded Cat (a.k.a. Arya Stark) for and the manuscript held a grim glimpse into the future. ]
We are brought here, told that changing the past is the way to correct the future but I find myself wondering if that is true. Has anything that has been done really been for the best? Those who were native in Exsilium before our arrival have been nearly entirely wiped from history. Instead of correcting the troubles with these ‘nuclear bombs’ we have only plunged the planet into a deep cold. Now we are told we must do more of these missions to gather supplies and correct these new problems. Does it ever end?
I wonder how many of you agree with this. Is changing the past in this manner something you feel is right?
[His voice took on an even softer tone as he thought back on what he had read. ]
What would you do if you had future knowledge of a terrible event? Would you journey to the past to stop it from happening or would you be too concerned it might cause something even worse to occur?

Although I could not really explain how the Bronze Dragonflight knows what to do. Dragons - on my world - are much more...knowledgeable than us mortals. They received their powers from the Titans long ago...[She sounds a little like she's shrugging.] Who knows how draconic magic works? They would send us through portals - spaces that looked like doorways - to get to alternate times. Often there were some inside the portals, waiting to guide us.

[Dragons can be hard to miss! They are so large!]
I doubt we could rely on that kind of magic here. I have not heard any of the dragons claiming they could make portals.
Thank you for relating your story. It is remarkable to me that so many come from times where hopping through portals to other worlds and other times is so common.
