وَقَدِيمًا and long ago
The wa- on the front is the 'and' connector, joining this to the previous speech, and it is attached to an adverb meaning 'long ago'. The wa- links the new statement in, while the adverb sets it in the distant past. Together they open the clause with a time-stamp tied to what came before.
