Chapter Text
Jim lake Jr closed his eyes, the amulet shimmers as it alights, the armor forming around his body, in the same moment, the kronosphere pulls him back in time.
He comes to awareness slowly, and he doesn't like what he finds.
His hands are small, his arms are too.
His room is different, not by much but it's enough to make him pause, his bed sheets, they're race cars, not the blue fleece and silks that he knows he prefers.
He stares at the bed, and realizes that it feels big. Bigger really, he stretches himself out, slowly rising from the bed. He's in his pajamas, light blue silks that reveal the light of his Amulet, it sits on his chest, humming softly.
He pulls at it, and winces, the skin around it is irritated, looking more like stone that has been welded to the metal.
Jim frowns, searching for his phone on his bedside table.
Nothing.
Shit, he gets up and checks his calendar, two thousand and eight.
Jim gapes, it's too far back, he's not in twenty eighteen like he wanted.
It's ten years too far!
He needs to find Douxie, he's knowledgeable about magic, surely.
He just needs to prepare, train himself, help Kanjigar, something to keep the world spinning.
Jim is in a daze as he prepares for his day, showering and changing his clothes, then beginning to cook a small breakfast for himself. It's seven in the morning now, so Douxie should be doing a shift at the Arcane Bookstore.
He scurries off to the garage, where he gets on his bike and starts peddling in the direction of downtown.
