    That's what I'm talking about though. Their story is a loop within the timeline - but they, the individual people, do not experience it repeatedly. Mide is born in the year 1551, is transported back through time from 1577 to [long ago], grows old and dies in that time. She does not experience the same events a second time - and if she did, it would not be as the same person at the same age she was the first time around.

    Mide-and-her-descendents' path through time is a loop, but she does not personally experience it as a loop.

    Meanwhile time itself, viewed objectively, is a linear progression from past to future where the second half of Mide's life happens sometime prior to the first half.

    There is a point in that timeline where her 26-year-old time-travelling self is witnessing the truth of what happened to her 23-year-old self. But to an observer, that event only happened once.

    I also think Prince of Persia's time logic isn't the right thing to apply here. The type of magic being applied is very different - the Prince is able to rewind time so an event never happened, but he retains the memory of it. It's time manipulation rather than time travel.
