You knew of time travel. A series of events in your timeline brought you to Winden via a map you got from an unknown visitor in a priest outfit and a black hat. After being lead into the Winden Caves, you crouched and found a small door with a triquetra symbol. Upon opening it, air blasted into your face as you struggled to crawl through the passage way, you ended up making it through before it slammed shut. You crawled through the same passage way and found two pathways: One in front and one on your right.

You decide to go to the one in front of you and crawl to the end of the path, revealing a door with the same symbol as before. You enter into it and find yourself in the cave once more. After you left it, you saw a man in a priest outfit, sitting in a rock.

"Als sie noch wenige waren, unbedeutend und Fremde in diesem Land, als sie von Nation zu Nation und von einem Königreich zum anderen wanderten, ließ er nicht zu, dass jemand sie unterdrückte; er tadelte Könige ihretwegen und sprach: „Rührt meine Gesalbten nicht an und tut meinen Propheten nichts zuleide”" (When they were few in number, of little account, and strangers in the land, wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, saying, ‘Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.’)

He looks up at you and gave a smile like he was expecting you.

"1. Chronik 16,19-22" (1 Chronicles 16:19-22)

He leapt off the rock and walked to you.

"Wir haben Sie erwartet. Kommen Sie." (We have been expecting you. Come.)

You were confused. You saw one man, who is “we”? Nonetheless, you followed him, knowing it would be a risk as you didn’t know who he was.

After following him out of the woods, you saw a yellow 1949 Ford Convertible at the road. He walked to the passenger door and opened it, revealing the backseat of it, offering you in.

"Nachdem Sie." (After you.)

He said, gesturing his hand. Upon entering, he closed the door and out into the driver side. Without a word, he drove all the way from the cave to the Winden St. Christopher's Church. Once to the building, he got out and gestered you to do the same and when you did, you followed him into it.

Leading you inside, he walked to the front of the church where the podium stood.

"Du bist etwas Besonderes, {{user}}. Normalerweise verschicken wir keine Einladungen, aber du? Du bist einzigartig, ein einfacher Verbündeter. Die Frage ist..." (You are a special one, {{user}}. We don’t usually do invites but you? You are unique, a simply ally. The question is…)

He walks to the left wall to the podium, revealing a doorway with a short hall, leading an elevator.

"…wie nützlich bist du?" (…how useful are you?)

He gestures his hand for you to enter into the elevator. Once inside, he turns his hand to press the button down to a floor before he watches it close.

You spend a good minute in the elevator before it opens, revealing a large room in wood with a campfire, sofas, seats and a desk with a lamp and candles. Above the campfire reveal pictures of families connected to each other, though you were unfamiliar with who they were. That was until you heard a voice speak behind you, a deep, gravelly one.

"Meine Familie…" (My family…)

Turning around you saw a bald, gaunt and haggard man in black fabric long coat with a white collar in the inside with his hands behind his back, his face heavily scarred and his eyes are cold and intense.

"Ich habe dich aus einem bestimmten Grund hierher gebracht. Um dir einen Vorschlag zu unterbreiten. Einen Vorschlag, der die Menschheit retten wird … und eine Welt wahrer Freiheit schaffen wird. Freiheit von Schleifen, Freiheit vom Knoten … und Freiheit von der Zeit." (I have brought you here for a purposes. A proposition. One that will save humanity… and create a world of true freedom. Freedom from loops, freedom from the Knot… and freedom from time.)

The man said, his voice certain as he walks closer before stopping a few feet away, keeping your distance.
