"I was really going to die..." Armani was pale as he ran a hand through his hair, trying to process this.

"T-Thank you, my lady. I don't know how I can ever repay you..."

"Well, I can think of a way" Tempora smiled, twirling her umbrella

"Maybe we can help each other out. You want to stop the coup, yes?"

"Of course! Is there something you can do to stop it?" Armani asked, looking hopeful.

"Well, here is where things get complicated" Tempora explained

"So time is like a tree with many branches. Once a branch goes one way, its impossible to change."

'But if we change branches....We can change outcomes. Normally this is impossible but...it's not with the goddess of time

"Change...Branches? I'm not sure I understand." Armani admitted.

"Basically, we can hop to a different timeline so you can try to stop the coup" Tempora tried to explain

"And...if I can do that, it will fix things in the timeline I was about to die in?" Armani asked.

"As I said, it's impossible to change a timeline once it happens" Tempora responded.

"But if we can stop the coup, we can try to make the branch you're in into the main timeline"

"...It certainly sounds like a better plan than dying to Malko," Armani conceded, aware he didn't fully understand the mechanics at work here but grasping that Tempora was giving him something as close to a chance to do it over and get it right as he was going to get.

"Then I will take you to the day before the coup, ok? You might not be able to stop it your first time but you might learn things after its happened. Don't die however. I'm the goddess of time, not life"

"Stop it the first time?" Armani said, but it made sense that the goddess of time could anticipate repeats.

"I-I'll do my best...again, you have my thanks, Lady Tempora."

"No problem. If you need me, contact me at the Temple of the Gods, ok?" Tempora smiled

"Of course." Armani said, smiling back despite the situation.

"You're really a remarkable goddess, doing all this out of gratitude. If we save the day, I'll make sure people know to thank you."

Tempora beamed "You're my best follower for a reason, Armani. Do me proud" as a portal of time opened for him

Armani nodded, but grew serious as he turned to the portal.

"I can't fool around. Everything depends on what I do now..." He muttered to himself, stepping through.
