Dudes, it has been WICKED sweet to meet the few of you that I did get to meet. But I’ve got my own group back in the future who sorta need me, and the Phantom is also yelling at me that it’s time to go back home and all that. So, yeah, I’m headed back to the future. Though, I’ve gotta say the Demon War sure was a lot less Demon-y than I expected. Plus, I thought Satan was slain at the battle of Old Astoria at the end of 2005? But everyone keeps saying he’s back? I don’t know dudes, the whole time travel thing really confuses me. Then again, I guess I did get to tackle a little Demon, so that was pretty freaking rad. Speaking of Dover, he’s still chilling in the Phantom Lane. Not sure what I’m gonna do with the little guy, but he can’t do any harm in there. Maybe I’ll show the little dude the future. WAIT, no, no, no, that’s a bad idea. He might then try and change the future if he gets back to the past. Right? That’s how that works, right? Like in the movies and comics and stuff. Wait a second, am I changing the future by being here? Or, like, is it like a Sphinx’s Nose movie paradox where I was always meant to go to the past? Yeah, that’s probably it. I’m trusting the Phantom on this one. Not that I usually have a choice in that matter. Oh well, it was neat to see the past before everything got Demoned up. Lucifer, you guys have it a lot easier than we do in the future, that’s for sure. Anyway, I’ve got Eidolons to take care of. Cya guys around! Maybe even see some of you in the future?
-Phantom Lane (a.k.a Edgar Lane)
[Editorial note from Manager No. 2: This is NOT how cyclical time travel works. Edgar is not from our cycle and is not from the “future” of our cycle. His cycle is parallel to ours. We are from the same “time,” more or less. I TRIED to explain it to him multiple times, but he was not getting it. I guess in his cycle, the whole concept of cycles is not as well known/understood. Then again, what can you expect from people who call the Otherside “Hell.”]
