06 : The Test of Time

Shadow comes back from the year 3010. She survived the Lost Angels explosion (Adventure #3) and transported herself back to her own time. After a 115-year rest period she decided to act out revenge on New Arizona. She kidnaps the Commander of Police and the President of New Arizona from 2510 and starts causing in the town. One of the officers has an idea. He goes back through time and stops Liam before he kills Larna. The officer asks Larna to go through time to the future and rescue the Commander and the President. She tells the officer to contact her in ten years time. The officer tells her however that she doesn’t survive to 2510, she disappeared in 2505. Larna agrees and goes through time to 3010.

New Arizona has gone by that time, destroyed by a mysterious Fourth World War that was attributed to an alien invasion. The whole planet is now called New Genesis. Larna lands right in the middle of the desert, surrounded by three things. An arrow, a mouse and an animal kind of thing. Suddenly the arrow changes into a gorgeous female warrior dressed in an ancient warrior outfit. She explains to Larna what is going on. Suddenly the four are jumped on by a large shadow and the mouse and the animal are killed. Arrow is carried off. Larna then sees an Ice Maiden. She tells her to find Dusk – a Night Ghost. She gives Larna a little verse that she must solve before she wins the battle. The riddle is:

First you shall see Ghosts than Ice
This shall be followed by a trip through the world
After Darkness you will find Peace
But to discover what lies after Time is a mistake

Larna finds Arrow in slave chains in the Darkland caves. After saving her she is followed by both the Ice Maiden, who Larna betrayed to get out of the caves with Arrow, and Dusk, who wants his slave girl back.
