Arrwen and Knightcap were sitting in her castle keep. Arrwen spoke, "Today is the day of your coronation. You are San d'Oria's newest Time Stone holder. Knightcap replied, "I only had to beat out the guy from Windurst for it. I'm not qualified as a thief." Arrwen dropped the mirror she was powdering her nose with and it broke on the floor, "Opps. Oh well, I'm ready anyway. I'll just meet you there. As Arrwen prances out the door she tells Knightcap, "I wouldn't miss this for the world."

As Knightcap starts picking up the pieces of the broken mirror he sees a vision. A sharp pain shoots through his skull and images of horrible deaths haunt him. Behind him he feels a breeze of air which turns into gushing wind as a temporal distortion opens. A flaming corpse falls from the portal into the foyer of Arrwen's keep. Knightcap is shocked and runs out of the building thinking, "I have to tell Arrwen."

Knightcap runs to Northern San d'Oria and sees Arrwen across the courtyard about to enter the castle. Arrwen waves to the men working on the preparations and asks, "How are the arrangements coming?" The man answered, "Wonderful Lady Arrwen, we have bright white flowers and a new statue which we are lifting to put on the upper steeple." The statue was being hoisted by rope and pulleys. Arrwen walks under the statue to enter the castle. At that moment the rope breaks and the statue comes plummeting to the earth towards Arrwen, crushing her underneath. Knightcap yells out, "No!" He runs over to Arrwen and she speaks coughing up blood, "I'm sorry I missed your coronation Knightcap." Then Lady Arrwen dies.

Knightcap composed himself and remembered his duties as the newest Time Stone holder. As a thief he didn't know much about the job but he knew who would. The inclination to find the mage from Windurst whom he had beaten to get the job would probably know more about these matters. Knightcap ran to the residential district and found the Inn where the Windurst mage was staying. After being pointed to the right room from the barkeep he knocked at the door. An old man answered, "Who are you and what do you want?" Knightcap blurted out, "I am Knightcap the Time Stone holder and I need someone with your expertise! There was a temporal distortion today and I need to know what the cause is." The elder looked irritated, "This is why you have no right to that Time Stone! You are a simple thief who is too stupid to use it in the first place. Imagine the power I would have with it! Give it to me!" The old man grabbed for the Time Stone and ripped it from Knightcap's neck. Knightcap instinctively drew his knife and lashed at the old man. The man was gashed in his hand causing him to jerk back. Lifting the Time Stone into the air and speaking some incantation a temporal distortion opened up behind Knightcap. Knightcap shouted, "Give that back!" From the elder's hand flew a ball of holy light toward Knightcap leaving him little time to react. The ray of lay hit Knightcap bursting him into flames and pushing him back through the temporal portal.

Behind him he feels a breeze of air which turns into gushing wind as a temporal distortion opens. A flaming corpse falls from the portal into the foyer of Arrwen's keep. Knightcap is shocked and runs out of the building thinking, "I have to save Arrwen."

Knightcap yells out, "I wasn't fast enough!" He runs over to Arrwen and she speaks coughing up blood, "I'm sorry I missed your coronation Knightcap." Then Lady Arrwen dies.

"How did I anticipate the future and where did that burnt corpse come from," Knightcap wondered to himself, "I must find the mage from Windurst who can help me solve this mystery. Knightcap ran to the residential district and found the Inn where the Windurst mage was staying. After being pointed to the right room from the barkeep he knocked at the door. An old man answered, "Who are you and what do you want?" Knightcap blurted out, "I have had a vision form the future that came true! I saw my best friend die in front of me and it just now happened!" The old man looked shocked, "That sounds like a memory loop you fool! You may be stuck in an eternal cycle, and by coming to me you may have gotten me stuck too! Who are you?" Knightcap informed the man that he was the newest Time Stone holder and he had come for help. "Pathetic," scoffed the man, "I should have gotten the honor of Time Stone holder… give it to me!" The old man grabbed for the Time Stone and ripped it from Knightcap's neck. Knightcap instinctively drew his knife and lashed at the old man. The man was gashed in his hand causing him to jerk back. Lifting the Time Stone into the air and speaking some incantation a temporal distortion opened up behind Knightcap. Knightcap shouted, "Give that back!" From the elder's hand flew a ball of holy light toward Knightcap leaving him little time to react.

Knightcap replied, "I only had to beat out the guy from Windurst for it. I'm not qualified as a thief." At that moment a sharp pain shot through Kinghtcap's skull an image of Arrwen dropping her mirror on the floor came to him. Arrwen dropped the mirror she was powdering her nose with and Knightcap caught it. Arrwen looked at him surprisingly, "Good catch Knightcap." Arrwen stood up and gathered her things, "I'm going to go on ahead and prepare for your ceremony, and after all I wouldn't miss this for the world." Knightcap held up her mirror, "Don't forget your looking glass Arrwen, I want you to look pretty for my coronation." As she moved out the door she laughed, "You keep it, I want you to look pretty too." Knightcap shrugged his shoulders and shoved the mirror in his pocket. He picked up a letter of congratulations from his old ship crew from the Bottom Bound II. Reading the letter he felt a breeze of air which soon turned into gushing wind as a temporal distortion opened behind him. A flaming corpse falls from the portal into the foyer of Arrwen's keep. Knightcap is shocked and runs out of the building thinking, "I have to tell Arrwen."

From the elder's hand flew a ball of holy light toward Knightcap leaving him little time to react. Knightcap reached into his pocket pulling out Arrwen's mirror. He held the mirror up just as the holy light was about to strike him. The mirror reflected off the light shooting it straight back, hitting the old man and bursting him into flames! The temporal distortion closed off as Knightcap ran over to a flower vase. He picked up the vase and splashed water over the burning man shouting, "You can't die! I need you to save my friend!" The flesh of the man was melting off as he said, "Now that I leave this world there is no one who understands the Time Stone. It takes a lifetime to master so you are all safe from the likes of me, but with this prize is a price, which is your utter loss of power to save your friend."

Arrwen and Knightcap were sitting in her castle keep. Arrwen spoke, "Today is the day of your coronation. You are San d'Oria's newest Time Stone holder. Knightcap replied, "I only had to beat out the guy from Windurst for it. I'm not qualified as a thief." Arrwen dropped the mirror she was powdering her nose with and it broke on the floor, "Opps.

As Knightcap reflected on the day ahead he picked up a letter of congratulations from his old ship crew of the Bottom Bound II. It read, "You're always welcome aboard." He puts down the letter and decides it's best to start heading over to the castle. A guard comes running toward Knightcap shouting, "There has been a murder in the residential district. It appears the time space mage Andrataman was slain last night. There are traces of temporal distortion all over his room. Since you are the new Time Stone holder we thought it best that you come have a look." Knightcap nodded his head and went with the guard.

In Northern San d'Oria Arrwen hurries across the courtyard and is about to enter the castle. Arrwen waves to the men working on the preparations and asks, "How are the arrangements coming?" The man answered, "Terrible Lady Arrwen. We had to spend all night setting up the pulleys because some thief stole all of our rope. We had to use these heavy chains instead. To make matters worse we had no time to set up any of the white flowers that were supposed to be here." A laugh came from a withered elderly thief behind them, "Not having enough time is the way I wish I would have gotten to live my life." Arrwen turns and asks the thief who he is and what he means. He answers, "You can just think of me as an old friend because it would be hard to explain otherwise. Let's just say that once upon a time I witnessed a wrong that I had to set right, and that is what I have come here today to do. One should only have to loose their friends one time in this life of ours." Looking puzzled Arrwen smiled, "You are more than welcome to come to the ceremony today." He smiled, "You always were nice to everyone, even when you thought they were totally insane. I won't be coming to the ceremony today. If my prediction is correct then I don't have a lot of time left in this world." He thought for a moment and laughed loudly, "Ha, not much time left. For one as old and as tired as I am that notion sounds pleasing." The bells of the castle started to ring and Arrwen excused herself, "I really must be getting inside, I have an important promise to keep." The elder waved goodbye to her, "More than you know." There was a statue being hoisted by chains and pulleys. Arrwen walked under the statue to enter the castle. At the moment that Arrwen crossed the threshold safely into the castle the elderly thief was erased from time.

In the coming years Knightcap learned that if a Time Stone holder is doing his job right, then no one will ever know.
