Chapter 1

I don't own time crust all right so long to sneaky crab

this is chapter 1 the first chapter besides the prologue of this new series. I hope you all are enjoying this wonderful new series that I have just started. I'm not sure where it will end. It will end with a great big battle at the end but I don't know where that will be yet, but I want to enjoy this great story and the other series parts of Lucy's history this is the first book of the series and the memory oracles. Please go on and read and enjoy those as well. They're both complete all right now just gonna figure out the hook for this chapter.

oh yeah, where do I think I should start? I guess my name for starters is Ash also known as Ashli I live in a place called Office Settlement in Sierra or Negative Valencia as people call it most of you already know about my opposite counterpart if you play the game already.

I want you to say something to let me know you're here with me and on my side, because I have things I need to tell you don't be scared though that's all I need to tell you at the moment because I'm gonna tell you my story or at least most of it, that I know and remember and what most people think the reason why I think they think I'm special OK OK I guess I need to back it up a little bit not too far back to the beginning because well that wouldn't be ethical would it guess I better start with the basics of who I am and why I contacted you is because I need your help if you know some contents about me then you might be able to help me even more so please don't say goodbye whatever you do and I hope that you would enjoy my company.

I guess I better start with a basic introduction to Chennai I guess that would help a lot. What do you think?

That way you know who I am and why I have to contact you and what I need your help on. I haven't spoken to you yet. I hope my spell didn't go all crazy.

I'm finally glad to meet you I will help you as best as I can. Once you tell me your story I'll be interested and don't worry you're safe as long as I'm here with you.

Yes, I did it. Finally, I was able to catch some kind of spell all right I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I shouldn't celebrate too early but I can't. I want to tell you something I cannot cast any kind of elemental magic spell I'm using is forbidden, or at least somewhat forbidden.

but sometimes you have to break the law to get what you want and what you need I already know if you spell, but I can't put them down the spells I know because they're forbidden except for one. I'm not signing up for the child yet or at least I don't think so or maybe I am, let's see what's first on my paper of signing up for these trials my name all right that's easy enough my first name my name, Ash or Ashli simple oh no, nothing OK I want to know what type of mage I am, but I don't know because I have no elemental magic the elements I could choose from I lightning, dark light wind, earth, water, or fire, but I don't have any of these elements even allusion is listed but I don't have any kind of any of the spells or any of these magics.

The trials are in a few months, so I need to be on my get a game for this even though this is not what I asked for when I wanted to be in a guild this is not where I was supposed to be, but I'll tell you that story later

OK, now it's asking me what spells I know I can't put down the connection spell because like I said it is for bid but I will put it down. I know the binding spell that would be very that would be come in handy very much. It would come in handy very much and I'll need that later on, OK there's that Hk I didn't go back to. I need to go back up there and put that I am 16 years old.

OK I need a team now but I don't know any people here in this guild because I wasn't supposed to be here like I said, so I'll have to scrape up a team in some I don't care how close I am they just have to help me get through these trials I just want to be able to survive the whole point of living in this world is survival

I didn't choose to become a mage my grandmother chose it for me. Do you think I need to take care of myself so she gave me this watch and she gave me this Muffy doll to keep me safe and told me that I needed to learn to take care of myself and learn spells so that I could fight back and protect myself from others being a mage is not a luxury in this world unless you have all the opportunities of survival to becoming a master isn't my priority. My priority is my safety. My priority is making sure that I don't hurt myself and I probably disobeyed one of the biggest rules that my friend told me about never leaving your home your room alone, I'm probably gonna get scolded by him soon I wanted some time alone without being in my room alone so I came to the Apple courtyard because it's one of the safest places here but I know that this killed and the crane girl that I was in before I came here also had an apple courtyard as well and a garden. I don't like our guild, masters, or ministration. They're all controlled by my evil sister, who wants to kill me.

wow, that's a lot to take in. I don't know what to think. I feel sorry that you were taken from where you were supposed to be.

Thanks for feeling that way about me. I guess I better send in my application before I forget. I'll sign my name now. I'll find a team later. Oh great it was approved. I was worried. It'll say I wasn't approved.

Now if that is done, I need to get back to my room before I get discovered that I was out by myself now which way back to my room oh, right, I have to go to the block with my letter all guilds do this and I know where my letter is it's T I need to find block T OK Where is that sign?

I don't know all our guild masters, but I do know there's one guild master, that I have to avoid at all costs all of them mostly, I don't know the names of the others but there's one I have to watch out for because he might catch me if I don't he might kidnap me and take me up to black ion where my sister lives who is also the head guild master of this guild she's so evil I'll explain that later.

you mentioned we need to watch out for your sister she's as evil as you don't think or as evil as you whatever so we have to watch out for her. That's what she said isn't it because that's what it felt like he said when he died.

well you remember I don't remember anything but if you remember these things and that is good, you can help me with memory I don't remember one time gets reversed and that's the first time time was reversed for me, so yeah, my sister so-called hero of Valencia, she made herself a hero to make herself look good in front of everyone, and made everyone forget about the founders of our world our founders, who are the two most lovely ladies in all of Valencia and one is my grandmother who I mentioned earlier if you remember Alexis or Alex is her name she is my grandmother and my only family member size my grandfather Victor I do have my grandmother and grandfather still alive, and all her friends what's left of the Val Dorian empire that was destroyed from my sister sake only if you survived my friend Robert, the prince of the empire is still alive, but a slave to my sister queen Jane, the queen of the Empire is still alive as well, and she lives with my grandmother and my other friend who is in the in the crane guild heaven, he's alive and he's also the prince and Jacqueline, who still lives in the garden who I visit from time to time they are all still alive and I'm grateful for that and the other founder first mage, Evelyn, who is trapped in the black Corolla jam on mount Ashra people think that she was just captured because she was not able to save herself and now they don't want her to be acknowledged, which is sad so memory was wiped of her. Everyone doesn't even know she exists.

I know that's a lot to chew on but that's what I want to give you. I was raised by my grandmother, the first human in Valencia and the creator of this watch that I'm talking to you about right now.

Thanks for including me and telling me about yourself. I am glad that you tell me a lot about a lot about yourself – I'm going to enjoy being your friend.

I like you I think will be close. You're all I have in this world mostly except for my little bit of family that I have the trust. If I can only get out of this guild and return to where I'm supposed to then I would be safe if I can only fail these trials I can get kicked out so I can go back to where I'm supposed to be, I know normally people would say they don't wanna be to say all these trials, but I don't care about moving up ranks in this guild unless I just wanna move up a rank and then get kicked out which would be fine with me like I said, survival is more important than anything in this world I need to learn some kind of elemental magic spells. I have are not great for protection. They can learn one of the four or 5678 elements which would be great for me. I didn't say the ninth which would be well Thai magic because I could probably learn it without being blocked maybe I might not need that because I have you.

but I'm scared I'm scared they'll find out about me and take the watch away and my sister will get the watch back and hurt you. I will not let her take you away from me. I will not let you hurt. I will not let her hurt you or me, at least I'll try even though I'm terrified I'm scared of everything. Oh no someone has found me in the courtyard. Who is here who is here too?

it is a hooded figure. I can't tell if it's male or female I'll catch my dog close to me and see and look bravely across. Also, I'll have the watch as well. The person is waving at me she's picking apples. I can tell it's female now even though they're wearing a hood on their head, it's a hooded female with a short and bulky belt with short gray hair that comes to her shoulders. She's removed her hood. She still beckons for me though I wonder if I should get close to her but I don't know if she's friend or enemy friend or foe someone I should trust or not, I need to make a decision but I don't know what to do here. I'm so scared my breathing sped up. Oh no, she's beckoning for me to come again. What should I do? Should I go to her or should I not come to her?

I guess you can't make up my mind for me, so I'll walk towards her. I guess I don't have much of a choice but to walk toward her she's begging for me and calling my name. How does she know my name?

I know I have it somewhere in my pocket my clothes, my egg, my Griffin egg sandwich they kept in my pocket that I just made this more or that my friend made for me this morning it's fresh. He always makes me great things and always makes me smile when he makes these for me, I love Robert very much but I don't get to see him often. I'll have to go see him soon but first I need to see what this lady wants. She looks familiar to me. I guess the way she's making shows that she's not here to hurt me. That means I can trust her.

but wait, she's talking to someone who is she talking to? Oh no, it's guild master Peter he's the second right-hand man to my sister why is he talking to the hooded, female lady?

he is very scary. I don't know what he's doing talking to that to her but I will probably need to figure out why here I go even though I'm terrified, my breathing has been up again.

It's OK I have your back if anything happens to you I will be there

I'm glad I have a voice or another voice but a person on this watch this nice to me and sends me great messages and I know that you have my back thank you I will do my best and try not to try not to to run I guess is what I'm trying to say Yes that's what it was not to run away.

I want up closer to them. The woman is smiling at me, McGill, and Nestor Peters, frowning. I know her she's the guild master Maleeka master she's the healer of the rival guild of Crane guild. My sister and her opal crane are rivals. They have two different guilds that's the guild I was supposed to be in, but I got kidnapped and sit here, and I've been here ever cent, I can't be able to get out. I've tried everything to get out of climbing walls but the walls are too high for me to climb over or jump over. I would've waited till night, but there is no nighttime because it's been an eternal day so there is no time to jump.

oh, and by the way, I only get paid 20 gold I know cause I already counted. That's all I have in my pouch right now I would put the Muffy and put them. The Muffy doll doesn't fit. How do you put the watch in there from time to time, though cause I think it fits with the golden side.

go to do this and I have to close the Watch It doesn't matter where I put it. It Hass to be closed anyway here I go. I'm walking up towards them. Found sneaking around behind a tree. The female voice said Ash what are you doing? Why are you hiding behind that tree?

it's skill master Britney, not master healer Britney from the other guild she's one of the best doctors besides, Helen, who is good at what she does. She was the head doctor of Bill I've older at once. Jane told me she was the best doctor they had she even tried to stop the Val, Dorian disease, but she couldn't, even though the disease was over in the vault, and Orians had been destroyed. The quarantines don't quarantine zones still stand as labor camps. If I wasn't picked to be in here, I would've been kidnapped and locked in there alone.

forced to work with no way out even my grandmother wouldn't be able to get there in time to save me. I live with my grandmother because my parents are dead. I never met them but my mother, my grandmother, and my grandfather always told me they were the nicest people ever who didn't deserve to be locked away in those quarantine zones, their older granddaughter, my sister, Lucy trapped them, and now she kills them to kill them just like that it was bloody and gross just like the vault Orion deaths. Valder was the most prosperous kingdom and all of Valencia Jane told me how wonderfully how wonderful, and how prosperous the kingdom was, but then it fell because of a curse this whole world is cursed. There are so many curses in this land too many if you ask me, I wish there was somewhere better to go, but there isn't she's waving at me again I'm walking over.

I want to wish you luck, not for talking to the healer you were telling me about, but about Peter, the guild, master guild, master Peter. I hope he doesn't spot you and try to harm you in some way. But yet since the rains you've been telling me, he might so be careful.

OK well here I go

good luck

Watch is closed

I walked closer and as I did, the woman looked at me Ash come closer I want to make sure it's you Peter said he didn't know if it was said the woman but I wanted to make sure it's the person I've been looking for all this time for all these months I want to closer and as I saw her it was, it was Britney the healer. She folded me into a hug and kissed the top of my head my darling we've been looking for you you've been looking for me I said yes we've been wondering where you were this whole time we didn't know where you were taken to, but I figured you were kidnapped and was sent here Peter wanted to not deny it but I didn't want to deny it. I knew I found you my precious are precious opal is worried sick about you. Can't you take me home back to the guild I can't right now darling but I want to oh how I want to take you away how I want to take you away and scoop you up in my arms and tell your grandmother that you were safe can't you just tell her that I will tell your grandmother that you were safe yes Britney said, but you need to take care of yourself. In the meantime talk and figure out a plan to get you out of here but you need to take care of yourself. Can you do that for me? Can you take care of yourself until the time comes that I can come and get you or someone else?

Roberts has been taking care of me I said good for him. I'm glad he's taking care of you now you do what he tells you and if you do I'll come back and if I don't I'll still come back I'm not gonna leave you here to suffer and don't ever go to black ion for any reason why would I go there? Curiosity maybe please do not go there you will die there, your sister will kill you, but I'm afraid she might kidnap you. She might take you.

and I know you want to go meet Robert in the garden soon I will let you do that but you shouldn't go there alone. How about I go with you? That's what he says that's what he told me to do. He told me to find you here in the Apple courtyard because he figured that's where you would be, so I'm gonna walk you there now OK I said as I took her hand, you better not trip me, and thank you were my sister one of my sisters cronies in disguise how do I know you're not tricking me how do I know I can trust you first of all you ran to me yes but what if it was a trap touch my face and pull on it if you dare, Britney said I pulled up and pulled on her mass her face ripped Britney Folger just left the Israel now come on we got to meet Robert in the Gardens as soon as I deliver you to him did my job here right now he's done. He's probably going to scold you though and walk you back to your room and scold you.

we want until we made it to the garden area it was tending the gardens. I will leave you here now are you gonna come back? I asked yes but you need to be on your best behavior not for me to come back but so that you'll be safe to the person who usually disobeys orders I said, I know you don't.

that was going on while the watch was closed. I'm back now and I'm in the gardens with my friend Robert I think he's going to scold me now. What should I do now? Should I apologize or should I just not say anything? Should I say that I wanted to be alone and take the scolding that he would give me?

You should apologize and tell him you wanted to be alone for a bit don't lie because that would look bad. Don't lie cause that would be unbecoming to you.

Because that would be disrespectful

OK, all right I trust your judgment. I will not let I will not lie to him but I know he'll punish me here it goes I said as I walked towards him Robert, did you want to see me I asked.

yes, he said Ash did you disobey what I told you when you when we first when you first got here when you were kidnapped, I told you not to travel outside your room alone I told you to never leave your room alone without me, but I wanted to be alone in my room was too buzzing for me and I wanted to breathe in fresh air I know but you need to listen to me you can't just run around the guild like crazy. What if you got hurt I couldn't forgive myself or wouldn't forgive myself. If something happened to you your grandmother was scold me. If you got hurt, will you not do it again, we're trying to figure out how to get you out of this guild and all you're doing is running around. I know you're afraid of everything so you should stay.

Alyssa, next time I promise please don't get angry I'm not angry he said Ash did you activate the Watch I do not yes the watch has been activated. I said I've been talking to it some I'm not alone completely I have the watch.

You need to be careful now that you've activated the watch, your sister will come after you now because she wants to watch you know that once she sees that the watch has been activated, she will come after you you need to watch your back even more my breathing sped up, and I clinch the watch close to me and the Murphy toy in my arms I know I have to watch out for myself. I said speaking in between breed briefs but I didn't know that I would be alone in the Apple courtyard. I didn't know I mean I didn't know Britney was there Britney's fine Robert said, but then I saw Peter Robert's face, went pale, Peter, you mean your sister's right hand man Did he grab for you shook my head. No no, he did not. Can you confirm the story well one I'm not on black guy on high said.

also, the human can vouch for me. They can vouch to know that I wasn't kidnapped. You can ask if you like cause she wouldn't be able to see the messages only me I know I can trust your human counterpart Ash and your grandmother told you about that you can call them I know that I said OK then, but do you think I should confirm it to you from them fine you can just promise me you'll never go to black ion I can make that promise because I will never go there good I know that would be an easy promise for you and he hugs me now I know you saw Britney she can't take me away yet. I said I know Robert says maturing is your haven now massage your room, the gardens, and the Apple courtyard are the two safest places you can be, not really, I said, especially the Apple courtyard now the gardens are said Robert no one's allowed here except me, and you were the only two people allowed in these gardens. Mostly it is public after all.

he hugs me again this time tightly not letting go for a while. I felt his warmth. Let's go back to your room but I haven't done much today. Did you sign your form for your trials? I did why did you do that? Now you sold your doom you're gonna die in those trials, you know but I don't have a choice where it is demanded that I have to participate or they'll kick me out I know don't you want to be kicked out yes but I want to leave with dignity I understand if I don't I won't be able to be noticed to be brought back to the crane guild I'll make sure you get returned to Opal somehow.

I think I'll fly you back to your room quicker even though it's a short walk there's a pretty good walk. The closest bar to here is Eann and you're in T so we need to fly there it's not bedtime it is he picked me up and carried me over to Lantis. He said, as the wings came off his back translucent wings they were strong. He carried me back to watch Muffy in Hall. I can't believe you have to wear these awful clothes though I would've had better clothes if I was in the other guild, I said I know I know that the clothes aren't the least of my worries, I said, my safety is yes that's more important than what you're wearing hearing me back and sent me down on my bed and help me takeoff my shoes and my tattered cloak is the only cloak I have I know that he took my shoes off and rubbed my feet there another shoes, pinch, and that better I'm not knowingly, yes Britney was also in the room I can't believe you have a room so terrible Britney says picking me up and putting me and my in her lap. I played with her face to make sure she wasn't fooling me and she wasn't. I know you're on edge with that Robert and I put you to bed OK I'm not a little girl I'm not a little child I said I know but we need to put you to bed now. Remember it's not nighttime yet. It will never be for a long time and maybe never will be at home Britney and and Robert the meteors will be frozen because I got hit because you said I got hit by one earlier, that's concerning if the meteors get unfrozen, everything will end don't worry will take care of it. I will make sure you're there to help I can't. I have no power but you can be moral support for your grandmother. She will take care of the meteors and destroy them. The Colonel Jim runs out of power and you know, yes I said, I understand the Chrono gym will run out of power and then the meteors will come on frozen and the world will be destroyed and grandmother won't be able to defeat them. Oh, she will she'll get her magic back don't worry.

is there anything you need to do before you go to sleep anything you need to tell Britney or tell Robert or ask of them

I'm afraid my breathing sped up again do you know what to say at the right moments at times yes there is a good night. Good night young one. Britney says I'm not leaving this room tonight. Robert has to return to black I am, but I am not leaving your side tonight. I need to make sure one more time that you were not Peter in disguise, how do you know where my room is how do I know I can trust you how do you know you're not working for my sister how do I know all these things?

how do you know you're not here to trap me?

I reached up and touched her face again pulling on it. It didn't feel rubbery like a mask. It felt soft like skin weight I was given a dispel ring or maybe I wasn't or I was it was made by someone else that I spelled ring was it made by Evan, was it glowing I couldn't tell first I took it out of my pocket.

and Shernoff I took the ring out and Shernoff. It was a trap not for Robert because Robert was looming here without any issues, and I knew it was Robert because of his wings. I was sure that it was him. No one else has ever lentils as a spell and can fly, so I knew I was safe, but now I was alone your spell ring glowed the figure changed and the shimmer in front of me wasn't Britney. It was Britney earlier though, but it wasn't Britney sitting here on my bed.

where is Britney? I asked the figure sitting in front of me which turned out to be Peter my sister's right-hand man I have her he said tied up and ready to go with me and so will you you will not be staying here you're Muffy and watch can come obviously but I am taking you. I have instructions to take you up to ion the black ion. No, I do not want to go, I promised Robert I would never be there change of plans sweetheart your girls even if I have to knock you out or wait for to you fall asleep I did fall asleep, but it was restless. I clenched my feet and the watch in my pocket, you know what to do to help me I said to you to the watch

.

When I gave you the signal to turn back, Time I was knocked out, not dead, but I was knocked out of my robe or cloak in my pouch. Somehow, I found my watch in my pocket or maybe I didn't take off my cloak. I don't remember what was now in my pocket clothes in Muffy were also in my pocket I don't know how old able to stuff it inside, but I guess it could fit.

I was able to capture and not be knocked out I ground my Muffy toy my watch my cloak put them back in my pouch put the watch in my pocket and put my shoes back on. They hurt, but what else can I do? It's only had before I could be knocked out by the power of peters magic

I ran out the door, my long brown hair falling behind me, my Valentines gleaming in the sunlight. I ran as quickly as I could with my feet hurting. What else can I do? My shoes slowed me down a bit, but I had to run I had to run to the gardens. Wait there was something in my pouch thing that, there were two things in my pouch that I'd never seen in there before that Robert snuck in before before Peter could see teleporter orbs. There were four of them three of them for five how did he get his hands on them? He knew I needed them to keep myself safe in the guild, as I was halfway down the T block I grabbed one and thought of the gardens and I teleported there. Robert wasn't there though, but I was in the Gardens Peter can't come here. This is Robert's sanctuary. It was private property for him not even the time Chris merchant was allowed here she wouldn't dare in her sit sit sit her feet on these grounds.

but Robert wasn't there. Oh well, I'll sleep here tonight today whatever my wolf pup, my loyal companion, even though he was, she was from the guild bank here in Timecrest was my only other friend. She was loyal and kind. She followed me from the guild bank.

She was tasked to give me my pay every day, but I miss it because of the stupid new rules about the sun you know about the eternal day she let me solemnly, and I collected my pay, but I had no way of collecting it every day like they should I'm sorry I said do you hate me I ask my wolf pup, but my wolf pup just nestled me herself for felt not nice under my fingers besides the Muffy she was my other security blanket You came to keep me company how do you know to come to the gardens when no one else is allowed here are you must have your reasons Sweet wolf pup, I said, scooping her up into my arms Her name was Mary good Mary I said she also had a toy in Muffy as well. She was a companion for me back at Crain guild before I was kidnapped she followed me here do you not part of the guild bank here so she's not tasked with getting me my pay I just said that she's sent here to watch out for me. Good Mary I said, did you come to keep me company in the garden she did not snuggle up to me my Cloquet was big enough for both of us I said to keep us warm and dry in the garden, but will have to sleep here. It's not safe to go back to my room, she whimpers a bit and I stroke her head

most people have all puffs to give them their pay, but my will pump doesn't do that. I will pop as a guard pup a guard, a dog, a guard, wolf pup her tasks to keep me safe. Grandmother got her for me when she found out I was kidnapped. She followed me all the way here to Timecrest guild I'm guessing that's how Britney was able to find me. It was Britney the first time I knew it was but it was not Britney who fell me in my room it was a shiver. It was Peter disguised as him I parted my pouch where my dispel ring was when I took it off and put it back in my pouch. Grandmother gave it to me. It was a little golden ring, and it shined when it detected an allusion it's why I knew I was in trouble, I didn't need the power of the watch tonight, but did I have to stay in the garden all night I thought or do I dare go back to my room? I asked Mary Mary can't talk obviously.

I guess I need to hide here for a bit until Robert shows up and takes me back to my room again I curled up on a tree and a ball with my arms wrapped around Mari and my Muffy toy the watch in my pocket clothes now my cloud covering me and my little wolf pup my pouch in the pocket of my coat pocket in my shoes still on then I heard someone walking into the garden, but I did see his wings so I knew it was Robert because no one else would come into the gardens. No one else is allowed in the gardens except me and him, he's called me again for being alone, but then when he saw what I was doing he forgave me

I explained to him that it wasn't Britney who found me in my room. Britney wouldn't know where my room was. She might know where the Apple courtyard is in the gardens because she's allowed here. After all, she's not part of the guild but she didn't know she doesn't know where my room is, and explain that my dispel ring went off. I pulled it out again, but it wasn't glowing this time. There's no way Peter can duplicate Robert, especially his wings. I fell against him and cried. He helped me for a moment and kissed the top of my head you're safe here he said again, should I stay in the garden? I said I swear it's not safe to go back to my room. I cannot go to sleep alone he said softly rocking back and forth. I want to go home. I said I want to go home back to the garden with the grandmother I don't want to be here, do you have a teleport orb? He said you can teleport yourself there I said I can leave can you just fly me out it looked suspicious look I have one too. You're safer at your grandmother's house than here in these walls and you need some sleep

again, I tested with the dispel rain to make sure it was Robert sure enough the ring didn't glow couldn't touch him and my hands didn't go through him. That's also why I knew it wasn't an allusion and illusion. My hands with Joe through he was solid, blowing his room his brownish, blonde hair shimmering in the sunlight, as strong as he was. He screwed me up, cloaking all pop and everything but you can't teleport here in the gardens it won't work. I have a magic. The magic happening here will need to leave the garden before we can teleport. He said we needed to teleport out, but we needed to leave the Gardens first we wanted out of the garden.

my sister will find us, and if she finds out even sneaking around doing this for me, she'll kill you. He clutches me tighter to himself. I'm not letting her touch you and I ain't she's not gonna kill me. I'll make sure of that and if she does, I want you to get out of here, and find a place to hide back home your sister cannot touch you in your grandmother's home. That's safer than these gardens even when they dispel will break and I won't be able to protect you you'll have to find someone who can you mean you won't ever be around you I wanted to cling to him, but my hands were full.

then I heard it we landed. I heard laughter, evil laughter near me. It wasn't coming beside me, where my beloved Robert was standing my best friend in the whole world besides the other children, of course.

No, it was the other kind of evil. After the time the kind that makes shivers run down your spine, Mary started barking and growling. I was shivering now, and there he was Peter I cleaned to Roberts's arm, and Mary kept barking, frantically wanting to growl and fight Peter

I wanted to ask my friend for help, but the watch was closed. Probably thinks I'm asleep. I took it out and opened it or you there. I asked the watch are you there?

I'm here ash is something wrong

yes, I'm scared is Robert there with you? Yes, I guess I'll be OK then.

Ha, I knew it Peter said you have the watch and it's activated good give it to me you don't deserve to have it in your possession. Why would watch when someone is weak and scary scary scary scared as you who is scared is a Muffy I want to watch when someone is scared is a Muffy to be his caretaker is beyond me your sister's a better companion for that watch than you.

She's been asking for the watch back will you give it back to her? No, I said I will not give the wash to my sister. The watch is mine and Mary growled again. Well, you're a foolish child and he won't get any rest tonight or maybe you should take a rest You're not escaping this guild, your teleport, or will not teleport you out of here or back to the garden where you live. Robert won't be able to save you. He said, waving his hand and making Robert leave my side. I reach for him, but he was gone now it's just you and me child I would take you up to your sister to kill you, but I think I might kill you here first and if you do come back with the watch, he won't remember and also he said Robert won't remember either. OK remember I said memory dilation doesn't work on him well are you sure about that dear attack him I said to marry your little wolf pup can't save me Earwolf Pop can't save you from me know Mary Mary wasn't killed, but she was injured.

is something wrong

yes, something is wrong. I said you need to help in some way. I know you can't help my puppy but you can help me.

When it is time, turn back time, please I need your power again my sweet friend on the other side of this watch my counterpart please save me and I'm not talking about my counterpart from the other Alencia, but my counterpart on the other side of the watch, my friend save me Grandmother knows said you can so please save me and keep me safe. Turn back time when it's time please please save me.

don't worry, I have your back

I have your back, so don't worry I have this

thank you

I can always count on you I don't know what I would do without you. I will probably be dead.

an evil spell fell upon me. It was the spell of Peter's killing methods. He was one of his dark, illusional magics. There was an allusion to show that he was killing me, but he wasn't, and then he was. He trapped me in an allusion, charcoal, chokehold, and I felt my body numbing, merry barking, frantically in my body, turning cold, as I fell to the ground in the invisible, choke chokehold I was now dead again.

ash was choked and now Ded

turn back Time

another cliffhanger I think this is a great chapter and a great second start but first start for this chapter for the story. I think this office at Alencia is going well and an opposite version of the game as well but without making choices I'm just filling in where the watch would say things, except for the symptom system message parts, and where the counterpart would make their remarks here and there next chapter will be chapter 2 actual wake up obviously or there would be no story, but you'll find out where ash will wake up again at time will be reversed, so make a prediction of where do you think I shall end up and let me know what you think of this reversed ash being scared of most things being the opposite of ash from the actual game what do you think? Let me know next chapter will be chapter 2 see you then.

next time time will be reversed. The next chapter will be chapter 2.
