3rd P.O.V

As everyone ventured forward towards the village that was frozen in time, something started to happen around them when Luz stepped foot into the village.

Instead of the snowy environment of the Knee, the scene around them began to shift as if it was someone was pressing the rewind button on an old VHS tape. The buildings, tents, and homes were now back to their pristine condition and people of all walks of life in old fashion heavy-duty tunics were walking around the bustling village, getting food, talking with friends, and children running towards the center of the village with their training wands.

Luz felt her body move on its own as she followed the children to the middle of town as the others tried to catch up with her. 

"Luz!!!" Eda yells after her daughter as she sprinted off after the village children. Something wasn't sitting right with her or the others about the people. She tried to get someone's attention but when she tried to grab a guy's shoulder it went right through him like a weird 3D illusion.

Amity and King watched in both awe and caution as they along with Eda ran to where Luz was, now knowing they can charge right through without hurting anyone. Though the closer they got to their ball of sunshine the more they are seeing some of the similarities Luz shared with a handful of the residents. One man had the same hair color, another had the same skin color and a woman had her eye color but there was one person that made them do a double take as they finally made it to Luz.

 "Luz!!" Eda pants hard as Amity rushes over to her girlfriend," You can't just run titan knows where in this damn place!!! Especially when... we have no idea where...we are..."

But Luz wasn't listening to her instead she was too focused on the figure in front of her to even register that her amazing girlfriend was holding her hand. Everyone was starting to get worried about her when King spoke up and pointed at the massive group of kids.

"GUYS LOOK!!!" 

Eda and Amity looked at what the demon child was pointing at and they felt their entire world go to stand still as they watched a woman with beautiful long slightly curly brown hair, lovely sun kiss tan skin, a lean but strong body, enchanting reddish-brown eyes and the world brightest smile the could literally challenge the sun. She was teaching the witching of the village about magic, the titan, and taught them the history of their people and village.  

She was so kind and caring with the children as well as patient as she answered all their questions and comments. Just before she was done teaching them for the day, she gave them a small demonstration of her magical capabilities by showering them with dozen of multi-colored fairy lights. The children were screaming and yelling happily as they played with the small balls of light.

This woman was like an older version of Luz in everything from her mannerisms to her smile! It's as if they got a front-row seat at how Luz would look in the future!

"...I-It's her..."

Everyone turned to Luz and their eyes widen as she sheds silent tears," Thesauros most favored child... She's the leader of this village."

Luz gripped onto her thick winter tunic as she watched the leader of the village, her grandmother, interact with the people," Thesauros told me that she was the kindest, most caring, and smartest person to have ever been born on the Isles. She was a strong and just leader for the people and that they loved so very much."

"Did they ever tell you her name?" Amity asked as she gently wrapped her arms around her girlfriend.

"Aziza, that was her name and she represented her name perfectly. Powerful and beloved..."
