Exactly as it had been before she had left? That had her deciding to go back there only to discover the place was empty. NO ONE there ?
IT was as she remembered, re what she had ‘LEFT BEHIND’? So why was it here.. transported with her.. NO she forgot for a moment which being a moment in TIME was existential in all respects regarding the FACT
IT had not changed because it REMAINED as once it had been.. Cept of course if we used the term museum piece might be representative of some truth.
 No matter how long it took to explore within the confines of what was reasonable to appease her sanity the same conclusion kept coming back..
NO ONE there. As to HOW that could be was adding to some of the borderline INSANITY.
Then she saw it.. out of the corner one might say, of her eye.. note EYE not EYES.. a slight movement and she swung around to come face with it..
An Alacryic. NOT the same as the earlier one.
This one was slightly smaller and more decorative well, colourful.
“Where are they . “ The question died away as it stood there stared no GLARED at her.
Dominant, domineering the senastion that IT was ?
NO ONE she kept repeating kind of subconsciously thinking out loud! IT smirked and therein lies a weird truth.. IT scowled moving its lips but in doing so it became more of a SMIRK as we would know it.
KNOWING ah there’s a prety potent word.. IT KNEW far more about her than she would probably have liked IT to know. ALL about her, her powers and what that wand she carried was more than capable of re MAGICS.. 
You are here, to FULFILL YOUR DESTINY. but also to sate our desire for some revenge, some just retribution. Perhaps you want some more clarification on that.
IT paused turned to face her. Follow me and I will show you, some of the PAST and it will NOT be pleasing.
A war between the Alacryic. The sacred lands trashed by the the colonists who arrived on this planet,
En masse, they used those of your skills, who conjured up ancient magics to attack us, to destroy us.
TO wipe our race out of existence, mass extinction;
GENOCIDE using ancient magics.
Take a look, at what those of your kind, did to our race.
The room was almost empty. The dank musk of dust that had long lingered to leave behind a shadow that once held the stench of death. In the corner a skeleton of ?
A dragao. To us it would have been a dragon.
Bones, only BONES.. nothing more nothing less. HOW it had held its shape was soon to be no longer a mystery. As she moved to touch it it disintegrated. Liken to the cascading domino effect one after another bone against bone crashed to the floor.
Shape gone but the image in her mind remained. Fixed or was she transfixed.
OUR companions were beautiful creatures. Ones we could mount and ride across the night skies.
Peace, harmony at one with all things, until THEY, those of your kind, rose up and slaughtered them . A wave of the wand and the incantations that followed brought them down to be cast down to just bone.
Those of our kind fled into the caves beyond into the shadows resigned to the darkness.
No coming out into the light anymore.
ANY caught, were never to see daylight let alone the darkness that gave us sanctuary; again.
Fear and despair we KNOW that YOU too have known that, felt it, lived it.
That is why Ikara chose you to be our‘ambassador’ for peaceful representation to them
To convince them we come in peace...to bear testiment.
For centi (centuries) this planet has been the grave of our fallen race.. but once we discovered the truth we brought in more of our kind. We created hidden zones within zones.
From other worlds we have and are bringing in more, of our kind. All Alacryic.
WE have rights to the lands beyond the Iy (riverlands) to the MI ( NORTH)
Moved to an open area, isolated; remote. IT was massive. They called it the OPTICON
NO! a Portei Semperu and one of the most advanced of its kind. With an induction emitter arra and A full ionosphere shield generator device capable of making a dome over the entire planet ?
For HER to be their ambassador ?
The Qiverse ..
so massive an expanse they had been in the deepest darkest places of it to now emerge.
