The Phoenix House is rattled: Tranns and Adriana are in a horrible fight over the fact that Adriana allowed Warren
to possess Lucien, a truth revealed during Dagllas' Plague. In the end, Tranns decides it better to break off her friendship
with Adriana. Distressed and angry, Adriana sets her mind to finding a way to fix the situation. Despite Aden's
warnings that she cannot change the past, Adriana decides to do just that. She attempts to create a spell to go back
in time and stop herself from allowing Warren to use Lucien, but her emotions muddle the spell and instead, she finds herself
in a mysterious world with stars she doesn't recognize and three moons.
Following the sound of music, Adriana discovers an underground dance hall, filled with members of Warren's extinct race.
Among them, she finds Warren himself, nineteen and still very much alive. She realizes that she has gone too far in
the past. Uncertain of what else to do, she approaches Warren who ends up pulling her out onto the dance floor.
The two of them steal the show and Adriana becomes the belle of the ball, drawing the attention of the curious young people
who have never seen a Hylian before. The party is broken up abruptly, however, when an armored man arrives. Warren
identifies him as a morality officer, a soldier in the employ of the king who is attempting to damper the social revolution
taking place in his kingdom.
The young dancers flee. Warren leads Adriana into an abandoned marketplace where they hide until the danger is
passed. Adriana is unable to bring herself to tell Warren that he and his kind are doomed and that she comes from a
very distant future. She manages to ward off his advances and the two of them return to Warren's studio for a platonic
night. The next morning, a friend of Warren's arrives, telling him that he's just visited the king and that no morality
officers were dispatched last night. Together, Warren and Adriana wonder who the strange man was and why he chased them.
Pushing the thoughts aside, Warren takes Adriana on a tour of his village which proves to be an astonishing and wonderful
place. Adriana encounters one marvel after another and gradually realizes that this is a place where she could truly
belong.
Their plans to visit a poetry reading are thwarted when they're warned that a morality officer is skulking around, looking
for them. Warren takes Adriana to a flower field where she begins to seriously consider remaining, rather than returning
home. Meanwhile, in the Phoenix House, tensions run high over Adriana's disappearance, leading Aden and Tranns into
a huge fight which ends with Tranns being thrown in the brig. Back in the past, the morality officer catches up with
Warren and Adriana again. They make a run for it and end up at a farmhouse where the farmer's daughter agrees to hide
them.
Warren's lecherous habits surface as he admires the beautiful, but shy girl, making no disguise of his attraction to
her in front of Adriana. When the girl leaves, however, the morality officer appears again, shooting Warren. He
explains to Adriana that he is a temporal bodyguard, assigned by the PTB to protect an important historical figure who will
one day change the face of the universe from time travel. The farmer's daughter is his charge. He further lets
slip that there are four temporal bodyguards guarding four Phoenix Fighters and Adriana is one of them.
He offers her a choice: She can remain in Warren's world with her memory wiped or else she can return to the Phoenix
House and the timeline can be restored. Despite the fact that this is the world she belongs in, Adriana realizes she
cannot belong anywhere without Aden and agrees to return home.
