The group at the atrium just stood around, without much talking they all just waited for the revival of the three dragons. Some did want to leave and a few thought about checking on the whole other group of dragons missing. But regardless, they stayed.

The scroll emerged again.

Wow...what happened here? Oh right...my doing.

Indigo: Yeah, it is.

Qibli: Now, do you have an explanation of who that other Peacemaker was? I had never seen him and he damn well wasn't ever-

Created?

The Darkstalker Times dragons all looked at Qibli.

Qibli: Existing. He'd never existed before unless he had never made his presence.

What a funny way to phrase it. But alright, I'll tell you but first, let's bring the dead dragons back.

Darkstalker, Foeslayer, and Arctic all disappeared and reappeared back alive at the center of the atrium.

Arctic: AGAIN! I died again.

Foeslayer: Arctic, your mother killed me around like forty times and I died many more times afterward for some tradition.

Arctic: Wait...she did-

That doesn't matter but I guess I'll have to explain who that other Peacemaker was.

Foeslayer: So that was Peacemaker...just a different one?

Qibli: Are there alternate versions of us as well...?

Not really. But to understand his existence, picture this...no, how about I show you instead?

The reality shifted transforming the atrium into a void where they all floated around, the center displayed some sort of scene. A small Icewing home carved into a side of the mountain. An Icewing held down Peacemaker, choking him.

Foeslayer: D-Did this happen already?

Mhm, of course, it did. A bit of context over there is Peacemaker, and the Icewing trying to kill him is Polar. Polar is a bit of a... superstitious dragon to the point that he and the others try to force the earring against the Darkstalker spell onto other dragons. I bet some of you guys are aware of what would happen when that is done.

Qibli: He must've resisted it and a whole fight broke out. This also means, Peacemaker is aware of what the earring would do.

Arctic: Alright...what is going on here?

Darkstalker: Ah right...that moment was fun to remember.

Fathom: How do you know this???

Darkstalker: I bet Scrollworm over here is going to explain it eventually, considering this moment, it's probably going to be revealed.

In the scene, Polar slowly had the earring and attempted to apply it on Peacemaker.

Foeslayer: No. No, no, no! That clearly can't happen right, cause he's alive.

Qibli: At this rate, I'm not sure.

The scene continued when Polar clicked the earring on Peacemaker's ear.
