Temporal magic really takes it out of a being, even when there's a willing assistant to provide a target beacon for the spell. I guess Auntie wanted to make sure her last great magic would be for a good cause.

I'm kinda surprised I didn't see this coming once I realized what the problem was that needed fixing, and who was present. Ahh well, that's just what makes this sort of thing fun and exciting!
I'm curious what it says on the book. Is that Spanish? Portugese? Something else, mixed in?
I imagine she wasn't planning on being around much longer as it is. Maybe she looked healthier than she was? Maybe she's rewarding them with something that costs so much, to really sell to them how important it is that this community be protected by them, in exchange.
I wonder then, what this community will become? Perhaps it will be important to the future! ;)
Still, a sad day for a little girl and two friendly folks.

So! It's the root language! That makes sense. I thought the AE was a single letter from a different alphabet so I was guessing you had mixed things in, but now I see where I was confused.

The ones she's saying out loud? Or the script that's part of the circle?
I can't quite make out the circle's text, though it looks like the same script as what she's incanting.
The incantation letters I'm not sure about at all. The fish symbols look sort of familiar. I'd guess some kind of ancient text? It sorta makes me think Egyptian, but they're famous for their Heiroglyphics. Otherwise, there's Hebrew, but also old languages like Sumerian and Babylonian...
Oh great, you've given me a puzzle now. I started actually looking up the character sets. So, it's DEFINALTEY not Hebrew, and it's not cuneiform so probably not Sumerian or Babylonian. It looks somewhat like Theban script, though not quite the same? I hadn't heard of Theban script before, and apparently it's sometimes called the Witch's Alphabet, so that kinda fits. There's also Avestan characters added to it, on a page I'm looking at. It doesn't seem to be written in that blocky way, though...
Well I haven't found anything that matches what you've got there. I'd like to keep looking, but I should be focusing on other things. XD

Interesting! I wondered if that was it. Of course, all writing is made up, but the language looks really neat. Did you use any of those I listed as inspiration?

Little bat is sad, future big bat is smiling. Lets you know that in the future she can give today's events a place and find peace with it. Or that's what I take from it anyway. Also means they will see each other at least once more. But yeah... all signs indicate she has a good reason to be sad right now.

Somehow I originally missed the throwback here. After rereading some of the pages of the last story Cavanagh reminded me of Barbara. Could be because they are both big burly girls with horns and whatnot (or can be in the case of Cavanagh). So this is probably wrong, but it occurs to me we don't know how these adapters work. The following thought came to me: What if Cavanagh is Barbara's and Gascón's kid? Like I said, probably not gonna be the case but I wanna put it out there just in case my random thought turns out to be true. Not sure how that would work with the 300+ years, but if Tinkya can do it... *Shrugs*.

This reminds me of the scene in "Arrival", where the protagonist, her mind bridging two points in time, receives information in the future from a Chinese general, and uses it to defuse a crisis in the present that would have imperiled both humans and aliens.
Ha ha ha! How masterfull! This reminds me of the scene in "Arrival", where the protagonist, her min
Ohhhhhhh my god, chapter 3 happens in the future and Tinkya is sending cures from the future to her past self???? Makes me wonder why her child self looks sad, could be her already with a lot of things to remember to send to the past? Could be that she knows about the pandemic of ch. 3?

Took me too long to make the connection between Tinkya as the apprentice here and The grown bat being the same person, well done even if I was slow on it.
