Time travel is a power of the Royal Family of [[Tenton]] when it was a kingdom, but was lost to the sands of time. However, the {{Hero 10}} and their sibling unknowingly have the power, which is first seen when the sibling is accidentally sent a 100 years into the past during [[Nelgel]]'s attack on Tenton as a village. Later, it is used to acquire the Haja Boat to infiltrate Reidametesu and then have it made in the present after [[Razerburn]] is defeated. The mechanic doesn't show up again for the player to use until Version 4, where the {{Hero 10}} meets their biological parents and discovers that an [[Kyronos|evil]] that will destroy Astoila is absorbing various evils to achieve his full power, while at the same time, learning about certain histories previously alluded to, like the Ulbea Empire, and altering certain histories to a more positive effect, like saving [[Alvin]] from having to go insane after [[Kamil]] was branded a traitor, but was actually led astray by one of [[Nerodus]]'s generals disguised as her [[Yaslam|lover]]. However in this case, it is due to a [[~~Ethen cube~~|cube]] their sibling gave them.

Line 38:

This sad fate is avoided by Toilen using the [[Sands of Time]] he half-inched from [[Dr. Helix Helix]]'s laboratory earlier in the game. He had survived Psaro's transformed rampage and plucked him from death with the magic of the sands, sending them back to the stand off with the succubat in Rosehill Tower. The player then chooses who's right all along, being Toilen after what they've both seen happen otherwise. With her ruse in shambles the bat tries to kill Psaro directly but is dealt with, moaning [[Aamon]]'s name before dying and exposing the demon as the mastermind of the plot. With the subterfuge dealt with, Psaro and Toilen sprint off to save Rose. As the elf makes no mention of her death in the previous timeline, nor do the other characters fear Psaro due to his rampage, it seems that only Toilen and Psaro remember the terrible future.
