Clockwork finds himself flying towards a large purple castle as he reviews the situation to himself. "The only thing keeping me from visiting the human realm is my lack of human form…. Dorathea and her people should be able to remedy this for me."
He comes to a halt at the gate and looks to the large hooded archer. "I wish to see Princess Dorathea." The archer pulled his bow as if to ask for identification. The time ghost simply lowered his hood. "I'm certain she knows me quite well." The archer lowers his bow and signals for the other guard to raise the gate.
It didn't take long for him to find his way to Dorathea's throne room. The green princess is startled by Clockwork's presence. "Clockwork!" She stands from her throne and makes her way to him. "What brings you to the kingdom today?"
"If I recall correctly, you owe me a favor for my recent assistance." He monotonously muses.
"I see… What exactly do you wish of us that you couldn't do from the tower?"
"I require a charm. An amulet to be more accurate. One that can grant me a human form. Nothing too fancy; it just needs to get the job done."
"Well, you've certainly come to the right place! As I'm sure you know, I crafted both mine and my brother's amulets along with a ring that does just as you request. Follow me!" She leads him to a room fit for a blacksmith and witch combined. "Now, before we start the process of creation, is there a particular human you wish to mimic or do you want just an average human form?"
The master of time opens his palm to the air to summon a time window. The window shows a young adult male with scruffy black hair and a baseball cap. As the ghost begins to reply, he shifts from his toddler form to his young adult form. "Are you capable of doing someone from the past? One who is now dead?"
"As long as I have some of their blood, I can't see why I couldn't do that."
"Ah, so my assumptions were correct." He reaches into his cloak and pulls out a vile of the man's blood. "I presume this will be enough?"
She takes the vile from him and inspects it. "Certainly more than enough, but that may come in handy later." She places the vile onto the metal working table next to an empty diamond gem. "All I require now is some of your ectoplasm. I have the rest of the ingredients on hand." Her dainty hand grabs a syringe. Clockwork politely rolls up his sleeve, allowing her to do as she needed.
After a few hours of hard work, the amulet is complete.
Stay tuned for the next chapter! The next one should be him finally going to visit Hiro and the team. Hope you have a nice day and enjoy my fics!
