also a fun detail about the alt timeline, right, is that these like. holes in the world, regions of cosmic instability, like an old minecraft chunk error, have been unleashed across the border.

in the prime timeline, this didnt happen because naielle (and marius!) joined up with naielle's fiancee/wife to kidnap her sister, who was the one experimenting with this shit. and then the whole subplot happens, yada yada.

so for the alternate timeline to have the unravelling world, that means mariela was not stopped.

but xistina, naielle's wife, was going to go on that mission withou naielle. naielle did not actually factor into her plan to kidnap mariela. because naielle showed up unannounced.

which mean xistina still would have landed on the shore that night to stop mariela.

what happened to her

#fully i was lying in bed at like 4:25 turning an idea in my head that was about mariela. not xistina #and then i sat bolt upright because id just realised what the turning point in that plot was #and what that implies for xistina.#best case she got spotted at the camps outskirts and just fled. pretty much any other option leads to her death #(either execution or at the hands of guards in the normal warlike way) or her being erased from reality in the rifts #its fucking wild. im very normal. im procrastinating can you tell?#naielle never joined the mission because of two details which HINGED on her joining the expedition #cause she needed the pouch (to hear from her fiancee after 20 years) and the sword (to cast planeshift/gate to visit her)#alt!naielle is just an out of work navigator helping in her aunts art studio while shit collapses around them haha
