The Earth had died. Probably around the time when, on his Earth, humanity was first nearly wiped out and barely made it back so many millennia ago (the same time the Saurians were wiped out). Here they did not bounce back.
Instead, new life descended from them as Earth was born anew under the hands of a familiar energy.
Asha’rah.
Her energy like a faint heartbeat runs through the planet, healing what was broken but not restoring what was. No, this energy led to new life instead. A rebirth.

"Asha'rah!" Cyanna cries out in joyful amazement as she takes a step foreword, only for an alien impulse to stop her in her tracks. Catching herself, she resumes a standing position, looking slightly embarrased, "Um, oh, sorry about that." she then bows briefly, "It is an honor, Lady Asha'rah."

Alt Asha’rah smiles at Cyanna.
“It is fine. I understand you are friends with my other self. I would be your friend and ally as well.”

Demoms, hmm? Interesting. Such forces could not be so easily mitigated by the defense grid as they come from within but the perhaps the magic dampening combat bots could be bolstered once all this was over. Something to consider when they had the time.
The Lynne, thsee denons. An unprepared wirld, without proper protection could easily go down in flames...er, no pun intended. It was curious that the Earth from their timeline never suffered the same fste...though one could say the bizarre interest in the blue planet from malevolent parties was a plague all on it's own.
"You know what we are here for, I assume, Blizzar stated, half prepared for there to be some sort of caveat to retrieving the time stone. One of the of the other, more hostile, elemental tribes stealing it, perhaps?

“I came upon its ruin and came down to investigate. Little of life remained, but I did find one human who persisted. A man named Zxu’ro. We spoke for a long time, and he influenced my perception on life and creation. He convinced me that Earth was worth renewing, and so I settled here and took up his cause of persistence. From my efforts, Earth was healed and new life, Zxu’ros’ and humanities legacy, appeared in the elemental tribes.”

"It's sad when a world dies. I have seen a few like that during my training, but you saved this one. I imagine you had to give up something in exchange. Being a Guardian can mean making a sacrifice. Those who have never been chosen or who have never given themselves to it often don't realize what it means." Cyanna glanced out towards the world beyond, before turning back to her, "Even with that, you remind me of another Guardian I know of."

Before the trip...
Zaofan takes Etrina's hand with a heavy and pensive breath. "Yeah, well, you probably heard that your double was the key to our victory. But her whole story, what our counterparts -- yours and mine -- had to go through in that other world. It made me realize that, well... maybe we don't spend nearly as much time together as we should. That maybe I should commit myself more to you... ahem, dear mistress. But the other Etrina lost so much and she paid the price for it, and I don't want that to happen to us, at all!"
He pulls in her in closer for a hug. "I just... I just want you to know that I'm a fool but that I am yours."
Back to the trip...
Noticing the attention the group was drawing from the elementals, Zaofan looks up and around, watching the observers themselves. "Huh... we um, normally don't get this kind of reception from the locals."
Heedless and oblivious to any social clues or body language, and completely lacking in anything like telepathy or even the personal space around him, Zaofan asks outloud, "How fortunate! This is going much more smoothly than everything that happened the last time, huh, friends?"
With an optimistically naive smile, he turns and smiles at Sarada. "LUHHHH-KEY!"
Zaofan steadies himself as he processes yet another of Ochazuke's musings, and he nods to confirm receipt. "Wisely put. The things we take for granted and relearning the fundamentals is a useful reminder. Though I would have thought that our fire protection was only for ourselves; that would go against the philosophy of the Five Schools in general."
He watches Ochazuke motoin the technique of heat protection spread to the others. "Good call. You'll be a fine master some day."
Zaofan's jaw drops at the revelation. "Oh my Kami! ... she's gorgeous!" He snaps out of focusing on the goddess's magnificence once he realizes what he's said. "I mean, *our* Asha'rah has always been brilliant, yes; but this is a different kind of beauty altogether!"
The name. Zaofan's eyes grow wide, and for once it's not for blasting anyone. He makes his way to the front of the group and comes closer, tagging Ochazuke to join up front. "Zxu'ro! Master Zxu'ro! Wait... So, we're talking about Master Zxu'Ro from *this* timeline, correct? Where is he? What has become of him?"
"....Well of course......With the non stop threats to the world its just been...."Zaofan takes Etrina's hand with a heavy and pensive breath. "Yeah, well, you probably heard that your double was the key to our victory. But her whole story, what our counterparts -- yours and mine -- had to go through in that other world. It made me realize that, well... maybe we don't spend nearly as much time together as we should.
Etrina continued statement caught in her throat as her face turned red. Her mind suddenly spinning in reaction to his words. Realized they haven't been spending time together? That he should commit himself more? Commitment? Zaofan? Commitment to her? No...No Way.....they only just had one, but maybe it planted the seeds in his head. Then the other hers tragic backstory....and now.....That maybe I should commit myself more to you...
Breath, Breath damnit! This was suppose to happen the other way around! There was no acceptance plan in play....STAY CALM. Just...Just have to accept it naturally....make it seem like you were expecting it all day. Your a time mage, of course you were. Then call him idiot for taking so long....on, a sheep....wait no, that might spoil the mood. But maybe he'd like that......But I have to accept first, but not too quickly or I'll look weak....but not too slow or I'll make him feel bad.....Maybe a 3 second period of knowing smirk, then a happy smile and 'of course I'll marry you, idiot'......I mean Sheep! No wait...I mean.......but this would......No this way is....But the other Etrina lost so much and she paid the price for it, and I don't want that to happen to us, at all!"
So consumed with her thoughts, The moment Zaofans hands clasped behind her back the mage nearly rocketed from her spot and without thinking fired her acceptance line. "Of course I'll marry you, idiot!"He pulls in her in closer for a hug. "I just... I just want you to know that I'm a fool but that I am yours."
.....
Etrina froze, and started shaking violently.
"Hey Zao...." White Etrina floated behind his head with a smirk you'd find on Dabura himself. ".....I'll be expecting plenty of service from now on unless you want me passing that image back to the chief. Hehehehehe...."Zaofan's jaw drops at the revelation. "Oh my Kami! ... she's gorgeous!" He snaps out of focusing on the goddess's magnificence once he realizes what he's said. "I mean, *our* Asha'rah has always been brilliant, yes; but this is a different kind of beauty altogether!"
