She frowned, mulling this new piece of information over. A sword that changed destiny...
Well, the subject of time loops was already on the table, so in a sense the description of what Fragarach could do wasn't...so different. Replace 'destiny' with 'history' and it made even a little clearer sense: like going back in time to change the events of one thing to make it come out a different way — she had plenty of personal experience with that. So using the sword Fragarach would mean that, so long as it struck second in time, some power would activate and alter the sequence of events to force it to strike first.
Quite the brain twister, but she was pretty sure she had it set out.
(The waiter passing by to drop off their egg rolls, on the other hand, seemed completely perplexed, but of course the topic of conversation had nothing to do with him anyway.)
"That was your sword too, for a while," Carmen said at last. "Was that why your detective needed you? Because that sword was the key to breaking the time loop?"
