[ Strange finally looks up from his shuffling of the medical forms (sorting them into stacks, categories, earmarking the ones which require some expansion with the healers’ notes), and glances at Isaac in surprise.
And once he realises, and because he can’t resist showing off a little in the way he relates this: ]
Last year, there was a calamitous mission; it resulted in about a quarter of Riftwatch dying. Myself, Provost Stark, Viktor, and Mademoiselle de Fonce developed time magic to rewind the event and prevent it all from happening in the first place. There’s a report about it in the archives, look under Granitefell. Specifics redacted,
[ The details of the execution are deeply classified — you can’t have Venatori spies joining Riftwatch and then instantly rifling through the Research files to steal all their secrets — but he decides Isaac can presumably be trusted this much to hear about it, at least. He’s been with the organisation long enough. ]
but needless to say, it involves high dragon blood. People almost died getting that specific ingredient, so it’s not exactly a play we can utilise every single time something goes awry, plus you really oughtn’t meddle so frivolously with the timeline—
But either way. It was an elegant bit of magic, if I may say so myself.
