Alex arrived back at the mountain peak and sat next to a short tree, head in his hand. He tried to remember anything beyond walking out of the Void, but he couldn't.
The last thing he could remember was taking one step forward. After that, he woke up in the mud. And somehow, between those two moments, over a millennia had passed.

Whisker jumped on his shoulder. "Are you alright, brother?" he asked.
"Yes. Well, not really," Alex said. "I've lost so much time and I cannot for the life of me remember why."
"Do you not remember anything then?" Whisker asked.
"No. The last thing I remember is sending those people to my Soul Space and finding the book. After that, I didn't interact with you all," Alex said.
"So you don't remember any of what you gave us?" Whisker asked.
"I gave you something?" Alex asked. "What did I give you?"
