Part one: The Power of Connection

Another captivating tale of connection unfolds in this first part. Just like a thrilling game, we are about to embark on a journey that will keep us on our toes. I dare say, it's a tale of faded connections, or should I say, the Connection to the Watch, the Connection to ashes, and the Connection to Ash itself. These connections, both positive and negative, form the essence of Alencia's story. Consider this an introduction, a glimpse into what's to come.

Now, I must confess that while I continue to write the remaining memory oracles, they are not yet complete. However, fear not, for I can seamlessly switch between working on the story and perfecting the oracles. I only have a handful of masters left to describe, which is a promising development. Rest assured, this story promises to be an epic, one that couldn't possibly fit within the confines of a mere description.

Prepare yourself for the ultimate showdown between our beloved hero, Ash, and his counterpart, Luther. This clash of titans will undoubtedly leave you breathless. With a bit of luck, this grand finale will be encapsulated within a single volume. If not, I won't hesitate to extend the story across multiple books. The decision lies in the hands of the narrative.

Now, I won't delve into the intricate details of each character's introduction. Such an endeavor would be far too time-consuming. Instead, I have opted for a gradual unveiling of their stories, allowing you to become acquainted with them at your own pace. And fear not, for those blessed with a memory Oracle, you shall gain insight into the minds of the masters and other key figures. If you desire a glimpse into Lucy's villainous nature, I implore you to explore the first book, aptly titled "Opposites Attract." Lucy's history awaits your discovery.

Before I conclude, let me reiterate that I do not claim ownership of Timecrest. All rights belong to the talented creators at Sneaky Crab. This story is a labor of love, a testament to the delight it brings.

Furthermore, let us establish a crucial rule: characters dwelling in the negative Valencia can journey to the positive Valencia, while the inverse is not possible. Remember, this rule serves as the foundation for the game's time mechanics, which remain unchanged in this narrative.

With all that said and done, it's time for me to prepare the prologue. Stay tuned, my dear readers, for the adventure is about to begin. Wishing you all the love in the world and a memorable journey through Timecrest.
