Seems like they're preparing a new part of Time Temple.

Finally back on a computer. Typing on an iPad is like a living hell...

No, I don't know what you mean (honestly, I hate when people say that). I wouldn't be questioning your logic if I didn't understand it.
The Mirror of the Goddess is there because it's the Goddess' throne room. Pretty sure I said that.

Thing is, you didn't question my logic. You simply nitpicked at one little thing I said that could have been taken out of context, and ignored the rest of the paragraph. Literally the only thing you posted in response to that one paragraph was that I'm missing an invisible point that you didn't make, and over-exaggerating my own point that you didn't refute. That's what I was trying to get at. You can't misread an entire paragraph because a person said something is a bit more strange than the rest of the strangeness, and then generalize that post as stating that nothing except that one thing is strange.

As for that signifies that it's in the past, let's see:
"...because time goes backwards in Memory Lane, you can't go forward unless you are given permission."
Yeah. Probably because they pineappleing say so.

So time flows backwards. It's not IN the past, it's directing TOWARDS the past. You either don't understand what I'm saying, or are deliberately missing the point. Let me make it clear for you: there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING linking Memory Lane to the past of the Maple World. It's YOUR past. It's the past of MEMORIES. That's why they call it memory pineappleing lane. The moral of the main road of ToT is to teach you that regretting the past will only lead to oblivion. The guy that released Pink Bean was trying to rewrite the past, and it led to his oblivion. We done?

Oh, and I said only the Goddess can "properly" wield the mirror:
"What? The intruder touched the Mirror of the Goddess? Impossible! It's true that the Mirror of the Goddess has the power to move the past but only the Goddess herself can wield it! It's not possible for a mere mortal to #rmove time#k, I don't understand what they're trying to do! "


It's well established that he summoned Pink Bean on accident while trying to bring back the Black Mage.
The reason for this is that he couldn't use it... properly.
Yes, the full power of the mirror is exclusive to the Goddess.

That's interesting. I guess I missed that, although it STILL doesn't fit in. The Goddess is permanently sleeping, and if she wakes up, the Maple World will suffer in some way, so she'll have to go back in time to fix that, but then her being awake in the past would screw up the future again. It's a constant paradox. I think the point is that you need the Goddess' blessing to pass through the mirror, much like you need her blessing to pass through Memory Lane. Only the Goddess can freely move around the main road, but she can grant you permission if you prove yourself. Maybe the mirror is the real link to the past. Maybe the past door of ToT is the mirror itself. That quote does say that the purpose of the mirror is to travel back in time.

Except Team Rocket regularly fails their mission while the Black Wings accomplished precisely what they set out to do.
The bosses served to distract from their true purpose. Mission Accomplished.

That's what I'm getting at. I'm trying to separate the mini boss Black Wings from the storyline progressing Black Wings. There are a lot of them, but only a handful that actually do anything besides sit there and look pretty.

WE don't.
Those entrusted with the Temple of Time's care do.

Context mixup, I apologize.

@Eliseo:

Okay, with what Viaje said, I must say that the guy who created Door to the Future, and the one who broke into the past, are possibly the same one

Doubt it. The guy who released Pink Bean was just a random dude. ToT isn't really under any strict guard, as far as I can tell...


Back to Viaje:

When did he ever indicate hatred?
Distrust is one thing; hatred is another.

Except when he held distrust for the good of the Empress, he was bawling like a child, begging her not to go to the world tree.
Now, with Aran, he outright insults the guy. He doesn't let him finish, he basically just kicks him off the island and tells him to get lost. Even after you prove yourself to him, he's still reluctant to have you help the Knights.

Now you could say he was desperate, but then why didn't he give in to the Black Mage's influence? How come he was still strong enough to go through endless torture and watch his loved ones die around him, but not strong enough to persuade, no, force the Empress to listen to him?

Seeing as he hails from a land that was cursed by the Black Mage after the Heroes failed to save Maple World, I'd be more willing to place my money on that causing his hesitancy to help them.

He seemed to not recognize Aran, or the other heroes at all. He treated them like the enemy. If I recall, he called Aran a member of the Black Wings. Now either he genuinely didn't know who they were, which means he's not from Rien, because he should know the the legend, or he's feigning ignorance, which is only more suspicious.

I've never quite understood the whole 'Queen of the Maple World' thing. She's never demonstrated any sort of power or rule over anyone outside Ereve.

Isn't she the human incarnation of the Goddess of the Maple World? She holds no power because she's mortal, but she's the vessel of the Maple Goddess. Or at least that's what my mind is remembering, could be false, idk.

I'm going to assume her having Ereve float is why she can't do anything. They say she is "young and fragile" but clearly, she has a lot of powers that could be a great ally in any battle. (Which once again leads up to her acting completely fake. Cygnus, ihu, y u so mean to mapleworld? STAND UP AND FIGHT! ;-; )

She didn't make Ereve float, Shinsoo did.
