Chapter 175 - 23

And in the middle of all that, you're working to help the Timeless Circle. Tapping cautiously into the conduit of magic that flows from Camp Cedarcrest to the Timeless Circle, trying to figure out how it works.

The last time you used your clairvoyance, though, something odd happened. You wanted to check how long the line in the dining hall was, but instead…well, it took you a while to figure out what happened instead.

At first you thought you'd just gotten the target wrong: all you could see was trees. Had you looked at the forest instead of the dining hall? It was possible, but you've had so much practice that you were pretty sure you'd never make a rookie mistake like that.

So you checked again. Nope, just trees. And…snow?

Then you realized—you were seeing the past.

The trees were there before the dining hall had been built. That was how this land looked in some long-ago winter, before Camp Cedarcrest was built.

Josephine said that if you kept using your magic around the Timeless Circle, your relationship with time would start to shift; you might become more aware of time passing, or you might become less tightly bound to the passage of time, and you might be able to use your clairvoyance to see into the past or the future.

And if you chose to go far enough and become even less bound to the passage of time, you might become like her—entirely outside of time.

So…it looks like that's happening.
