He tried to remember what had happened.
He'd seen Alex again. Kirux. Skull. Some other people he'd never met before, but those were the ones that stood out. They were trying to fix Alex's timeline, like some Back to the Future movie, except it was real life. He didn't even know if they succeeded, or if they were just there for the ride.
He guessed a quick google search would tell him anything significant changed. Like, if Jay's name never made it into the news... that would be pretty easy to find out.
As he pulled out his phone from his pocket he noticed a cup of cold tea on his coffee table in front of him. He wondered if he was ever gone, or if the whole experience had happened in his head. Maybe it was bad that he stopped questioning if these things were real. Some of it could just be a dream, especially considering all he'd been through prior. He wouldn't put it past his subconscious to come up with something like that.
He shook his head and sighed.
Jay's name came up immediately after typing it in, along with all the history he was already pretty familiar with at this point.
So they'd fixed something, right?
He picked up the cold tea and sniffed it. It'd been steeping far too long, and the smell of lavender was strong. He took a sip anyway.

Carter took in a deep breath.
He was back in the palace. He was back in his armor, with his sword at his side. Chandeliers, ample carpeting, and fragrant incense welcomed him home. Someone was burning white sage, and it wafted down the hall.
Gods were he glad that nightmare, dumpster fire of an experience was over.
He stood up straight, noting the servant who passed him in the hall and shoved the awful memories to the back of his mind and went to the window. The sun was still up, which at least meant he didn't waste a whole day in that Librarian's game. With a final once-over, just to make sure he wasn't missing anything, he turned down the hall. He had work to do.
