"Yes, incredibly sure. They didn't look familiar at all," said Blinx with no fear in his eyes whatsoever.
"Here's what I believe happened. While I was traveling on the dirt path and came across the volcano, I realized I needed three things: Time controls, water, and food. I got all three of them at a lake near a volcano, with the time control specifically being pause. Meanwhile, there were multiple tremors which signaled that a volcano would be erupting soon. After the second to last tremor, I heard some faint screaming, which I believe were those people on horseback, as well as many others. Thinking it was just an animal's warning call at the time, I ignored it. The volcano had literally exploded, though. The pause I used saved my life, and I was hoping that the side effect of something altering the future would happen. Unfortunately for me, it did without me realizing it. I unknowingly ended up killing about half their people, and they were able to figure it out. One thing that they missed, though, was that it was rare and accidental, which they didn't give me any time to explain. I admit, it was foolish of me to have gotten them all killed by your sword, and putting your sword into this state, but if I didn't, then I would not have been able to survive, and thinking that there was nobody else in an area of about 10 miles from me, I used the pause. Besides, if you killed me, you would have a LOT of explaining to do to Durwin and Balloon." Blinx finished the paragraph in a serious tone, the same way he had started.
[I found the wipeout to be very anticlimactic. I was hoping to battle them as well. :c]
