PANEL ONE:
Top view of Erlak lying on the grass, his feet in a body of water, as Jasda approaches him.
JASDA: Oh, hello again, Erlak.
ERLAK: Hey.
PANEL TWO:
Same scene, but from the front instead of from above.
ERLAK: Hey, do you know what you look like from this angle?
JASDA: Not really, and it's probably best you don't tell me.
PANEL THREE:
Erlak sits up.
ERLAK: Jasda, can I ask you a question?
JASDA: Sure
PANEL FOUR:
Close on Erlak, 3/4 view
ERLAK: As Goddess of Time, what special powers do you have?
PANEL FIVE:
Close on Erlak, side view.
ERLAK: I mean, can you actually send things through time, or travel through time yourself? To the distant past or future?
PANEL SIX:
Jasda looks at Erlak as he continues talking.
ERLAK: Maybe to a time even before the gods when this world was just another part of the Wild Lands? Or a distant future when the last mortal walks the world alone?
PANEL SEVEN:
Close on Jasda.
JASDA: I can't actually travel through time, Erlak. But I can control the passage of time, make it faster for some things than for others.
PANEL EIGHT:
View from slightly below eye level as Jasda continues talking to Erlak.
JASDA: And I CAN bring other objects and places from the past — bringing back things that don't exist yet, or restoring an older version of something that does. With certain qualifications, I can even bring objects and places from the future.
PANEL NINE:
View of Jasda and Erlak from the side.
ERLAK: How big an object or place can you bring?
JASDA: I don't know. I've never really tested the limits of my power.
PANEL TEN:
Jasda and Erlak in profile.
ERLAK: If you brought, for example, the whole world back from the past, the way it was, wouldn't that be the same as traveling to the past yourself?
JASDA: I suppose it would, but I don't think I could do that.
PANEL ELEVEN:
Back to the front view.
ERLAK: Have you ever accidentally brought something from the past, or future? Just thought subconscious– ly about it, and there it was?
JASDA: No; I think I've got pretty good control.
PANEL TWELVE:
Erlak suddenly looks worried.
ERLAK: Oh my gosh — maybe I shouldn't have said that!
JASDA: Why not?
PANEL THIRTEEN:
Close on Erlak.
ERLAK: Well, maybe it's because you hadn't considered the possibility — but now that I've brought it up your subconscious will kick in and start bringing things without your will!
PANEL FOURTEEN:
Extreme close-up on Erlak's eyes.
ERLAK: Maybe you'll unintentionally revert the whole WORLD to an earlier state! You'll create a temporal loop!
JASDA (off panel): I seriously doubt that.
PANEL FIFTEEN:
Erlak starts to walk away.
ERLAK: Yeah, you're probably right. Well, I'd better get going.
JASDA: Um... All right. See you.
PANEL SIXTEEN:
Erlak sits by the waterside in the same position as in panel three.
ERLAK: Jasda, can I ask you a question?
JASDA: You're not fooling anyone, Erlak.
