Navalia felt bored today. No drama was happening. Hunter wasn't available. She felt too lazy for stealing, and the Blight twins were busy.

Bored, she went to the beach so at least Cthulhu could have some fun.

As she flew above the beaches to find a good spot, she heard someone call her.

"Valiaaaaa!!! Down heeeere!!!"

She peered down below to see Luz and Lilith on the beach. Curious, she floated down.

"Hey. Why are there so many sticks in the sand?"

"Time pools."

"...hWAT?"

"Long story short, time magic! I found the time I was looking for. You wanna come travel there with us?"

"Sure, why not. This gonna be like that Back to the Future movie you showed me?"

"Let's hope not."

Lilith clapped her hands excitedly.

"This will be a truly unprecedented exploration! Now before we dive in, we must remember, if the tide comes in, we may get trapped, paradoxes will be a danger, and don't even get me started on the bloody fly effect—!"

Lilith caught herself and cooled down.

"But a bad bitch historian like myself is all about the risks, so what do you ladies say we boogie down to History Town?"

She pointed finger guns and danced confidently. Navalia giggled and Luz grinned.

"She really is Cool Aunt Lilith!"

Navalia thought of her more as Cute Aunt Lilith.

They climbed through the time pool. The first thing they did was snag disguises. And how Navalia was stuck with such a complicatedly extravagant one, she didn't know.

Actually, she did. She bribed a lady doing her laundry nearby to give her the coolest thing she had for 900 snails.

Navalia ended up in a black high neck sleeveless crop top that had green lining, a long black double slit skirt with a green waistline, thigh length black boots with green soles, and some gold-and-green shoulder length gloves with green sunglasses to top it off.

She tied her hair into a ponytail, and boom.

"You sure you won't stand out?"

"Honey, that's what I'm going for. I want this look to be historical."

Navalia, Luz, and Lilith stood behind the outer walls of old Bonesborough.

"Now ladies, we are technically in the Savage Ages, way before Belos banished wild magic. These denizens may be dangerous."

"I hope one of them fights me. I wonder how powerful they are!!"

They walked into town. Not even ten steps in, a stranger politely greeted them.

All around the town, everyone was bright eyed, kind, and happy to each other. Navalia was highly disappointed.
