Daemon smiled and entered, seemingly confident but in secret was unsure of what was beyond. He hadn't traveled to the past for a long time.

With Damon inside, Sara gripped her hand around him tightly and closed her eyes; chanting away as the portal disappeared.
Moments later, the portal reopened at the exact same spot. Sara waited for Damon to get through before closing it.
"Here we are.", Sara said. "Forty years into the past, back when this place still functioned normally. Try don't know about us, so I suggest we be discreet.".

"Whats the history of this place? I mean, I remember the first time I arrived in Animus was because I knew that I was supposed to find myself and find a purpose....and I found it. It seems like everyone in Animus finds something there. I honestly feel that we are all intertwine into this place in the past or some sort, that's why I came with you," Daemon said as he glanced around him.

"The history is a long story, one I will get to at another time. But you are right, it seems we all have our destinies tied down to this place and to each other. It's a complex cycle that only compliments and contradicts itself as it unravels.", Sara replied as she made her way towards the city. "Have you ever seen it like this?".

"I only seen it as I had when I arrived. Its amazing on how the city is actually functioning. Too be honest, I returned to Animus after I became the Winged Warrior and returned back immediately. My reason was I was overwhelmed and scared... then I thought it was the stress of the war on me and the overwhelming events but I realized it was seeing Animus in a new pair of eyes. It was as if, I was startled; I as in Wingy I. It was as if I was upset by the destruction and everything. It was as if I had been here before.... this Animus and probably beyond, that I am not sure of. Its amazing but I have no idea of how my past connects to this place," Daemon paused, unable to continue.

Sara nodded, listening intently to what Damon had to say. "That's how it is for many, and that includes myself. You have no idea how many times I've gotten myself lost and confused.", Sara said.
The slowly approached the city, it seemed rather busy for a Thursday night. Sara looked back at Damon and said, "Be discreet... Very, very, very discreet. If you can, keep your wings and your scythe hidden, and I think we'll be fine.".

Daemon nods, "already did. So why are we here exactly? I mean why did you want to go here."

"We'll, I wasn't quite set on going home and I can't quite take you back with me, so I figured the past would be fun, considering we don't mess things up.", Sara replied with a coy smile.

"So how far back are we? Honestly, this looks very familiar to me, its as if I've been here before," Daemon said walking into the actually functioning city.

"Forty years from when I picked you up.", Sara replied as she strolled along side him. "Were at a pretty interesting time in Animus, this was when things were starting to bubble up.".

"Bubble up?" Daemon asked as they walked in the streets. He was amazed by everything, the shops he once looted in were full, people were dancing and there was no mindless... What was this?
They passed a bar and something caught Daemon's eye.... more of someone. He looked familar; well, he sort of looked like him: his hair, his built and his choice of clothing. Everything but his gray eyes.
Leon
The name Daemon thought of.... his lips quivered as he silently announced it. This was the past after all; Leon could have been alive. But what was he, well past Daemon, doing in Animus? A question that baffled Daemon so. For one thing he knew that Purgatory and Earth years were longer than Animus years. How could this be possible? He was actually seeing himself in the past.

Sara stopped beside Damon. Placing a concerned hand on his arm, Sara asked, "What's the matter?".

"That man, drinking scotch on rocks, I know him...." Daemon paused and his voice dwindled slowly to a mere squeak, "he is me.."

Sara veered in through the window to take a look; what did know?. "You wanna go inside?", Sara asked.

Daemon shook his head furiously, "I am not ready to face him, I cannot. But-- I--How come he is here? I don't... Do you think I should face him, I mean he is locked in me... he..."
