Arc 16Ra’s Fall and the Broken Timeline
Ian helped Ra, Osiris, and Isis defeat Set-Apep by destroying the Eye of Ra, then left in his Time Machine with the Eye’s fragments. A force shattered the machine, stranding him in distorted timelines where he uncovered a wizard-hunting regime and later encountered African wizards trading with armed centaurs.
- Ian fought Set-Apep as it adapted to his magic, while Isis restored the city and Osiris tried to free the souls it had devoured.
- Ian found the reborn Ra inside Set-Apep and learned that the Prince Family’s covenant made him Ra’s guardian.
- Ian escaped the living temple and joined Ra, Osiris, and Isis in battle, then shattered the Eye of Ra to break Set-Apep’s power.
- Ra reclaimed his divine power, erased Set-Apep, restored the city, and entrusted the Eye’s fragments to Ian before Ian departed in his Time Machine.
- An unknown force destroyed the Time Machine during Ian’s journey, and he crashed in a 1998 alternate timeline where a Grindelwald-backed empire had hunted wizards to near-extinction.
- Ian disguised himself and traveled toward Lin City, where an airship was caught in a spacetime vortex that carried him to a forest with his salvaged Time Machine parts.
- Ian followed armed centaurs to their camp and discovered African wizards trading weapons and ammunition for magical materials, then set out to find human settlements and study their wandless casting.
