It took me a hefty moment to shake off my surprise and actually get to thinking. But once I did, I ended up noticing an annoyingly important detail of what Madam just dropped on us.
"We?"
A single word that appeared strangely often in just the few words she said. A word full of implication… And one that gave me the convenience of asking about it.
Because I needed time, to process everything I'd just heard.
'A war? Forest getting overran? Return back?'
A hundred thoughts flashed through the busy nodes of my brain, clogging my entire thinking process.
'Wait, what if I…'
Prompted by the memory of a relatively recent event, I took a deep breath and chanted in my thoughts.
'Eye of time.'
Maybe it was stupid, to activate this skill long before any fight was about to start…
