Me: "AUs My AU."

Me: "AUs my AU."

We put Caleb in the future without Timepools this time. More below.

Premise: To save Caleb's life, Evelyn cast a spell that left him in a state of suspended animation. (Think Sir William!). She leaves him in a beautiful palistrom forest to rest while she tries to figure out how to wake him.

Belos finds his brother and takes him away— He studies magic as he plans his usual plans for the Day of Unity to also awaken Caleb. He tries to make a grimwalker or two to see if he can possibly move Caleb's soul into a new vessel by using Caleb's ribs.

Eventually, Belos has a breakthrough and utilizes the Basalisk draining ability to remove the spell Evelyn cast as he uses another spell taught to him by the Collector to revitalize Caleb.

All Caleb knows is that he's in an unfamiliar world when he comes to... there's someone wearing a mask similar to the one that he carved for his brother, and Belos is keen on trying to convince Caleb that witches and demons on the Isles are vile by behaving as their horrible Emperor. He doesn't tell Caleb that he is Philip.

Caleb scrambles away while Belos continues to do his plans. Years go by and Caleb is trekking up the Titan's skull because he saw Flapjack. Or so he thinks! So he ends up there as Flap flies down to the Grimwalker pit and tries to offer rattleworms to a baby who's dangling by his blanket on a pillar... [You all get it; classic my AU brand stuff, Hi Hunter].

Caleb takes the kid in, wears a concealment stone, and keeps a low profile on the Isles. He's looking for Evelyn and his old portal key because he knows that Belos wants it, but Caleb's determined to ensure he never does. He doesn't know who Belos is, or what his plan is, but he doesn't speak for every witch and demon Caleb's known.

Belos knows where Caleb is and what he's doing. It's of no concern for him in the meantime. He's got bigger plans to attend to and he'll deal with Caleb and his continuous betrayals later.
