Hell, there is enough you're intentionally >vague or misleading on, I enjoy the occasional bone of clarification. :) Okay.... <spoiler space> I see it like this: There is no time travel as it is usually understood by us skiffy types. But time can do strange things, especially in the Paths of the Dead, and Verra's Halls. Devera was conceived in the Paths of the Dead and was born in Verra's Halls. Time doesn't work for her the way it does for others, and she can often skip around in it. So, I guess, there is a limited sort quasi-time travel, in a way. I hope that cleared everything up. <tee hee>
