Something similar: about how long did The Ellimist Chronicles take place over? I pictured thousands or even millions of years?
Hate to necromance, but someone reminded me of this thread, and just noticed this post and can't help but find something funny.
He had decades as a Ketran, decades, maybe centuries or more (can't remember, too lazy to look with father) when around the galaxy enough times to pass generations of various species, probably decades to centuries at least fighting Crayak (probably says millenia in 26, but whatever), the adult life of an Andalite, more fighting Crayak, however long in a black hole alone, at a time where dinosaurs walked the earth, and has been there with Crayak ever since, so definitely long ass time.
But what just caught me is that TEC is the story he told to Rachel. A story he told her from outside time. Did he place it all in her head in an instant? Tell her over hours? Show her over a "time" equivalent to the eras through which he lived it?
How long did telling that story actually take, even though it took no time at all? Mind. Blown.
