In the middle of the town, was a large clock tower which was the home of Clockwork. Danny and Ember entered the tower and climbed the staircase to the main room, where he watches over the time streams.
"Clockwork are you home?" Ember called.
Danny was amazed by all the clock gears hanging around them and all the screens that showed many different time periods.
"Clockwork? Are you there?" Ember called again.
Suddenly a whole bunch of crows flew into the room and out of it and then suddenly appearing before them was a ghost wearing a dark purple cloak over a purple shirt that had a clock in the middle of the chest, he was blue skinned and had a spectral tail instead of legs, on his gloves were several pairs of watches and he had a scar on his right eye. He also held a time staff in his hand, this was Clockwork Master of Time.
"There you are Clockwork" Ember smiled.
"Oh hello my dear" Clockwork said smiling back as his form changed to a child which surprised Danny a bit.
"I brought my husband, Danny with me" Ember said gesturing to Danny.
"Husband?" Clockwork asked in confusion. He could clearly see that Danny was still living.
"Uh nice to meet you sir" Danny said.
"Clockwork we need to visit the Land of the Living. Can you help us?" Ember asked.
"Land of the Living?" Clockwork asked as his form changed to an elderly man. "That's not such a good idea. Why go up there when people are dying to come down here"
"Please Clockwork! It'll mean so much to me…us" Danny corrected.
"I don't know. It's just natural. Besides I'm the Ghost of Time, not the Ghost of Miracles" Clockwork said.
"Please Clockwork. There must be something you can do" Ember pleaded.
Clockwork sighed as his form changed to an adult. He then answered, "Let me see what I can do. I just need to find that book"
He opened a closet and started looking on the shelves, when he couldn't find what he was looking for there, he began looking on another book shelf and throwing stuff on the floor almost hitting poor Cujo. He kept searching and searching until finally he pulled out an old book covered in dust.
"Ah here's the one!" Clockwork exclaimed and then blew the dust off.
He brought it over to a desk and began looking through the pages, he went through many pages until he stopped and began skimming through a page.
"I have it. A Ukrainian Haunting Spell, it's just the thing for these quick tricks" Clockwork said with a grin.
"So glad you thought of this" Ember whispered to Danny.
"Me too" Danny whispered back.
Clockwork grabbed a cup and began pouring different liquids into it, he then grabbed a ghost crow and took a feather from it and placed it in the cup where it instantly dissolved. He then raised the glass in the air and just when Danny and Ember thought this was the spell, he drank the liquid.
"That was refreshing" Clockwork said as his form changed to an elderly man. "Now where were we?"
"The Ukrainian Haunting Spell" Danny pointed out.
Clockwork nodded and grabbed another ghost crow, he then squeezed it until an egg popped out. He released the crow and held the egg in his hand.
"Ready?" Clockwork asked. They both nodded. "Just remember, when you want to come back just say hopscotch"
"Hopscotch?" Ember asked with a giggle.
"That's it" Clockwork confirmed.
He then cracked the egg in half and opened it, a misty like substance came out of it and surrounded the two of them and before they knew it, they were back in the forest of Amity in the Land of the Living.
