Title: "Whispers Through Time: A Tale of Lilith, Eda, and Belos"

Before ordinary understanding, there existed a time as ancient and murky as shadowed water cast by the moon's glow. A time where talking to one's past self was a quirk of magic celebrated in the realm where Lilith Clawthorne hailed from. In this realm, the past and the future stood not as unchanging facts but were beads on a string of time that could be slid back or forth at will.

At this time, Lilith was a paradigm of power, her bountiful intellect blooming as brilliantly as the sun's dazzling radiance. She, alongside her sister Eda, wielded transformative magic, under the tutelage of the infamous Belos. A feared mage whose power was an enigma to all, the imposing Belos incited dread in the hearts of his disciples and all who crossed his path.

In this age of potent might and vague morals, Lilith found herself gazing into the looking glass of time. She wished to revisit her past self –a time before Belos stepped into her life– in an intricate dance that blurred the boundaries between then and now. This convergence of time was no ordinary feat, demanding considerable magic and extraordinary emotional willpower.

When she finally encountered her younger self, she saw naivety and wide-eyed curiosity. An innocent entity eager to learn, to adventure, untouched by the wrath of power politics and the complexity of bonds.

“Why did you never curse Eda?” the young Lilith enquired, a question resonating in the timeless expanse between herself and her future self. Her expectations hung in the air, silent, expectant.

The older Lilith glanced sideways, her gaze entangled in the mixture of emotions. A wistful smile inched onto her face as she finally mustered the strength to answer, “Belos. His conniving methods designed to create discord, especially among those dear to him. He intended for us to fight each other - to fracture the Clawthorne clan.”

She sighed. “Had I cursed Eda, it would have spelt victory for him. In doing so, I would have been his pawn, and Eda would have succumbed to a protruding evil. Our bond was far too precious to trade for such a vile desire."

Her eyes strayed to a phantom image of her sister. "We were a pair, two sides of the same coin. By cursing Eda, I would ultimately curse myself,” The older Lilith admitted melancholically, her voice brimming with regret for the undeniable altercations their relationship had endured.

The younger Lilith nodded wisely, cradling the reply in her heart. She seemed to understand the gravity of her sister's sacrifice, her youthful visage belying the maturity of her cognition. "In the spirit of sisterhood, I will tread respectfully, with compassion and understanding.”

The older Lilith stepped back, satisfied with her revelation's imprint on her younger self. She had done her part, sowing the seeds for an alternate future, a counter-narrative to the timeline wherein Belos would stand as a puppet master no more.

In the fantasy genre, stories often depict the struggles of power, bonding, and perseverance. Such tales demonstrate the significance of cherished bonds over brutish might. This history of Lilith, her past self, Belos, and Eda only served to emphasise the potency of these elements, painting an enriching saga filled with betrayal, mystery, and love. It breathed life into Lilith's character and illuminated the shifting dynamics with her sister and mentor, making for a compelling narrative in the realm of fantasies.
