When the light died down, Zari and Adrianna found themselves in the world between worlds, though Zari noted that it's appearance had changed since the last time she'd been in here. Now it looked like a blue version of the world she'd been in before the Legends restored her to this plane.
"What is this place?" Adrianna asked.
"This is the world between worlds. It's where our totems draw their power from." Zari said.
"I see you're as sharp as ever Zari." A familiar voice said and Zari was surprised when she saw Kuasa standing in front of them.
"Kuasa, how is this possible?" Zari asked and Kuasa actually smiled at her.
"You of all people should know the answer to that. After all, we share something in common." Kuasa said.
"We both spent some time in Totem town." Zari said and Kuasa nodded.
"Regardless of the circumstances, the totems preserve the consciousness of all who have wielded them. Including me. Regardless of the change in the timeline or the universe." Kuasa said.
"What are you talking about?" Adrianna asked, confused as to why her sister was talking with this strange woman like they were old friends.
"I'm sorry Adrianna, I forgot you were here for a moment. I forgot that you do not know everything your sister does. Fortunately, I can remedy that." Kuasa said as she raised her and suddenly both the water totem she was wearing and the one Adrianna was wearing glowed and suddenly Adrianna passed out.
"What the hell did you do to her?" Zari asked.
"Relax Zari. I used the connection of the totems to reveal the truth to her." Kuasa asked.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Zari asked.
"The water totem would never truly work for anyone except Adrianna, since she is the one who was born to wield it. But the only way she'll be able to help you is if she knows the truth about everything. Crisis, time travel, the legends, even the truth behind her own existence." Kuasa said.
"Are you sure she can handle that?" Zari asked and Kuasa smiled.
"She can. Besides, now you don't have to lie to her anymore." Kuasa said.
"Fair enough. How long will it be until she wakes up?" Zari asked, right before her sister woke up.
"About that long." Kuasa asked with a smile.
"What the hell was that?" Adrianna demanded, her mind feeling like it was literally on fire by the images and information that were flooding through it.
"That was Kuasa revealing the truth to you." Zari said.
"The truth, about what?" Adrianna asked.
"Everything. About the universe, about your sister, even about yourself." Kuasa said as the information began to slow down enough for Adrianna to process it all.
"Wait, so I was you. Or you were me?" Adrianna asked her sister.
"No, you were me. Honestly, your existence in the first place was the result of timeline changes. The only way we could both exist peacefully and painlessly was if we were given separate forms. So I got to keep my body and you were given your own." Zari said.
"So what, I'm not a real person?" Adrianna asked as Zari took her hand in her own.
"No Adrianna, you are a real person. You lived your own life, had your own experiences." Zari assured her.
"But they were your experiences." Adrianna said.
"Not anymore they aren't. They're your's. And honestly, I don't want them back." Zari said.
"But I was never supposed to exist. You said it yourself." Adrianna said.
"And that doesn't matter now because you exist anyway. Sometimes things don't go the way they're supposed to. But they happen anyways. Don't question it Adrianna, just enjoy it. It's still your life. Enjoy it." Zari said.
"It's going to take some time to get used to all this, but I think I know something that'll help." Adrianna said.
"And what might that be?" Zari asked.
"Let me come back to your ship with you. I mean, what better place for me to figure things out then on a timeship. Plus, I'm a little insulted that both you and Behrad were invited and I wasn't." Adrianna said.
"Well, you'll need to come with us anyways, since we'll need your totem to help in our current fight and then I'll talk to our leader Sara about you staying longer." Zari said.
"Of course, I still don't know what's going on with my totem, because I can't control it." Adrianna said.
"The totem's power grows when the threats demand it. You can't control the power anymore than you can control the way a river flows. You can only flow with it. Embrace the power, trust it." Kuasa said and before Adrianna could say anything else, the water totem glowed as their vision quest ended.
