Chapter 1 imprisonment

I don't own Timecrest all rights belong to Sneaky Crab

OK, now we're finally gonna get into this story. A new opposite begins. I can't wait and I know you can't wait any longer either. I took a month off before I started two months off before I started the new one. I think that's good whenever I complete a whole series of the opposite, I should take at least two months off so I can work on the next one eventually all will be when the story ends when I finally come up with the big epic, big epic ending at the end of the whole story, I know they'll be mixtures of different versions of the characters and Wynia but I think it'll be interesting. Don't you alternate universes exist in this world the way I'm setting it up? We've already had one alternate universe now we're going to see another this time the characters' ages are swapped but differently than I did and all my other stories.

is it of one or two people's ages everyone's ages change except for Helena and Julius obviously and some characters have to stay the same age but a lot of the children's ages change and virtues change as well.

all right then let's get started going into this one.

we now begin

ash Reid felt like any other kid inside the quarantine zone trapped, but he couldn't do anything about it. His parents he was now Timecrest as well. His grandmother retired and she was evil and had evil blood running through his veins, but did that mean he was evil he didn't think so, I don't think he thought he looked around his room. He was 10 years old and he just arrived in the quarantine zones. He's been here for at least a few weeks.

he also had the pocket watch he didn't like having it. He was hoping that it would never be activated. The rumors were that it was evil, and it could control your mind. He didn't like that idea he didn't wanna be controlled by his evil grandfather he knew Alvin was his grandfather, and he was the evil master of time the time manipulator, and his grandmother was his right-hand, woman, evil mistress they were angry that they had pure children or at least one child and somewhat pure grandson.

maybe they can manipulate Ash to be evil with the watch. He didn't like the sound of that neither that his parents that's why they ran away from their home. They used to travel around the world so they could escape the evil that was around them, but it's hard. The land was evil they weren't, but the land itself was.

we're bad things happen to good people and good things happen to evil people Volder was the most prosperous kingdom and all of the Valencia besides Windsor Howell and the ice skates Vald Dorian disease was spreading as well.

humans were blamed for the disease, but it was the evil doctor Folger, who made the disease, but no one knew that not even asking himself if his father was the ambassador for their zone. He would take sick people who were Vald Dorian, and try to nurse them back to health as best he could with the help of Dr. Crawford the good doctor in the zones.

but even the good doctor couldn't he couldn't heal them even with war potions it was hopeless he said these people were doomed to die and so would we next if all decided to do away with us, his father agreed to that I can't believe a lot of people are complacent here, contempt with their lives a lot of them are except for a few Dr. Crawford said to his friend yes of course the Roberts are one of those families. They have a little girl who well who wants to leave as soon as possible figures well I guess that could be so. we have to make a resistance, Howard somehow Howard agreed and not it along with Julius.

Mr. and Mrs. Stone also want to leave as soon as possible they don't have any kids of their own, but they are sad and if they ever did have kids to grow up here yeah that wouldn't be good either so Dr. Crawford.

it would be great if you could figure out how to get a group together I will do my best. I'm sick of being the ambassador of this zone with these complacent people except for the Robertsons and the Stones like I said they don't feel comfortable here.

I heard that the good queen and her daughter figuring out a way to help us. They're outside of Volder and outside of the kingdom of Volder and outside the quarantine zone so they could be a good help to us. She's no longer queen anymore. Whoever his mother is is now the new queen and that isn't good for us.

No, that is not good at all. Helena also agreed she was not along with them.

Maybe we'll figure out a way to escape soon that would be great.

oh, wait another couple of years, oh, that would be great. Wouldn't it wait a couple of years?

Wait two years and then we can leave we can leave and get out of here.

our child is anxious to leave Helena said even though we just got in here, he wants to leave your child is Ash right? Yes, Ashli said Mr. and Mrs. Reed, right OK then.

we need to figure this out will sneak people out on trains eventually, and we'll try to get as many people out as possible. We can try to get onto Orem Hala or to Ravenswood but the only safest place is in all of Valencia right now. Porsche is the union leader right and the master of illusions right now or maybe she's not but she's just the merchants union leader that's all she has control of right now I heard the evil first human who is the evil manipulator of time on the council wants to put a stop to her union one day. Oh yes, that won't be good for our economy when that happens. No, the grown-ups agreed as they continued to talk.

Ash thought no that won't be good. If Porsche loses her union that will not be good at all. Poor Porsche he thought well poor Porsche and her family. I don't know them but the poor things.

Poor princess Riley Riley I don't know what to call her run away. That is terrible she and her mother ran away to the merchants union. Well, at least they're safe there for the time being as though he was holding the watch as usual. He couldn't put it down now because he wanted to use the watch but because he just couldn't if he did, it would just teleport back to him if he hit it somewhere and he's hitting it several times trying to get rid of the stupid curse thing the watch was cursed.

why was he chosen to be the Timecrest?

He didn't understand why he didn't want to be. He wanted to live his life and draw and cook and be a chef and an artist but now he couldn't because now he was stuck with the stupid cursed watch.

In the Valdor Answer, cruel, cruel, cruel evil people King Janice drove away his wife he didn't kill her, but he drove her away and his daughter Riley from the castle. The only Royals that lived there were his son, his evil son, and his evil daughter Annalise he didn't like Annalise Seen her official functions and she was cruel. She was a necromancer and Devin well revival magic. she got herself involved with evil revival magic through the evil time manipulator Alvin, who is the master of time on the council right now.

he's been seen at Vald Orian parties. Ash knows because Ash saw him there once his evil grandfather up on the council back with the other members of the vault of the evil council and those that were still there, but we are. .

A lot of them were trying to quit the weaker ones like a master, sanguine, and master eve Gold, well Light, and Dark respectively wanted to quit the council Ash wouldn't blame them if they did the master of wind and earth was still thinking of retirement as well, and the master of water and frost who is weaker was also thinking of leaving.

and Bretta bastard the master of fire and for who is the master of lightning, they were all thinking of quitting soon they couldn't take it anymore. They couldn't.

I mean, Ash wouldn't blame them. I mean the two most evil people are on the council the first mage and Alvin. The first human in. And the first mages were still on the council.

but the land chose them because it was evil. The land was evil only good people got bad things to happen to them and bad people got good things to happen to them. It was cruel. It was not right even Ash knew that if I was stronger, he thought, and I was an actual active Timecrest in this watch was evil, I would do some good as the Timecrest he thought that since I'm not I couldn't.

I'll never be a hero because people like me don't get anything in this world it's a cruel world out there. He thought that the land is cruel and the people are cruel and it's just not right for us.

You knew that most Timecrest were evil. Janice was even more evil. He killed a lot of them, especially when the watch stopped working I mean the counterpart was evil very rarely. Did they even bring them back from the dead?

If they weren't evil, they were controlled to do cruel things. That's just how the watch worked and the top and the human just got rid of them just like that.

Except for a few people like my grandmother who is evil already why didn't she just stay at Timecrest and keep the watch I mean, why do I have to have it if I ever retire myself? I'm gonna give her the watch back if I ever see my evil grandmother in person I'm giving her the watch back. I don't want it.

it's not like the watch can be redeemed it's evil it needs to be destroyed, but it can't ever be destroyed and it never goes away and it never leaves my hand and I want to get rid of the stupid thing why do I have to be cursed?

I feel trapped more than I am in the quarantine zones. I'm trapped in a curse that I can't break. If Mom and Dad ever decide to have more children, oh I hope not. They'll be in the same trap too. I would not want my siblings to be this way too. I'd rather take the curse than them.

I want them to live a normal life and not become a Timecrest please they can become a mage if they like, but even then that's difficult guilds are scarce and only the first human and the first mage decide who gets to be on the council or not that's not fair really but that's how it works.

I've heard tales of other Valencias one where a young girl named Ashli lives a normal awful life. She's not born yet, but there's an evil woman named Lucy who is in charge. She controls her parents which is awful and then another Valencia where I have a counterpart, but not a counterpart. My counterpart is older than me or younger than me. That's not even been born yet. Both of them are but then make me also the counterpart of the hero of Valencia or the soon-to-be hero of Valencia, it's weird to think that I would because obviously, it's weird. The Valencia counterpart hasn't been born yet.

and if there are a couple of years ahead of us, well, that is crazy I am 10 after all. Well, events are about to happen in that world soon enough.

I'm not a genius, but I'm not stupid either I knew about alternate universes at least those two at least.

Ash walked away from hearing his parent's conversation with Dr. Crawford. He decided it would be good to go visit his friend Laora and that's what he did. They weren't lovers are meant to be, but he was good friends with Laura and she was sweet to him and so was the Roberts says, they hated living here too obviously, it wasn't fair that they were locked away for no reason and no explanation. The king just locked us up. That's what she does what the mother said.

He knocked on the door and asked Mrs. and Mr. Roberts if he could visit with Laora today oh yes, you can visit with Laura Notting he comes in.

as she says, hugging him, it's good to see you. It's good to see you too aura. He says how are you doing? Adjusting not well she said, and you not well either, and I don't look forward to opening and activating this stupid watch. I hope that doesn't happen and I hope it doesn't choose you and it teleports away before it can be activated, I hope that'll be the case as said, hugging his friend, but I don't think that's gonna be the case she shivered at the thought well, I hope that you can get out of it. It's unfortunate if you're well upbringing she said.

I know Ash said chatting away with his friend's mother and father knows I'm coming to eat dinner with you today lovely or am I invited to come and eat dinner with you? Yes, that's it. You're invited to come eat dinner with us. Yay, dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Reed's house is great and I'm looking forward to it.

all right, I can't wait to see you there me either she says hugging him.

do you wanna go for a walk? I don't know maybe we should I know you're out and about today I am Ash said. .

OK, that goes then, and let's have a good time as best as we can and try to avoid the guards as best as possible. That's a good idea.

we won't let them spoil our fun no we won't.

and that is what they did. They went for a walk around the quarantine zones and then came back to Ashwin's home and got ready for his guest to come and his family and her family to come.

He was looking forward aura to coming over and visiting. He was happy that was her best friend after all their best friends forever.

He was smiling as he finished up fixing and helping with dinner telling his mother all about it and visiting with Laora. Yes, we're looking forward for Laura and her family to come over and visit Helena said.

it's gonna be a great dinner Ash knotted an agreement or always coming over made him smile let me not in a romantic way, but he liked her nonetheless.

they acted like brother and sister, as if they were twins or something, and helped that their families got along too. They both hated living in the quarantine zones along with the stones. They couldn't wait to leave if they could.

The kids are our future yes they are Julia said to his wife, they will free us. They will save us. It'll be up to them to save this world.

and then Laura came over and commented what a lovely dinner looking dinner. This is Reed. It smells delicious thank you. You can just call me Helena. She said, looking at aura. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts also commented on how lovely the dinner looked. The stones were also coming over. Yes, it looks delicious.

Patricia and Baker said at the same time you always make lovely dinners, Mrs. Reed thank you I'm glad you think so. Helena said she smiled.

I heard you were having your first baby Mrs. Stone commented yes I am. Thanks for noticing Mrs. Reed Mrs. Miss Helena she said again.

When will they be due soon? I'm not sure she said, but sooner or later I think I'm not exactly sure but they'll be born soon. She smiles.

That is good news. Send Mrs. Helena looking at Mrs. Baker Patricia said congratulations thank you, Helena. She says.

I'm having children too again send Mrs. Roberts as well. Oh, you are welcome. Congratulations to you too said Helena Julius, and agreement to her to their friends yes it was a great congratulations all around. congratulations thank you and I'm glad you think that sounds like everyone is having children nowadays.

yes, I guess so Mrs. Roberts commented Mr. Roberts was not in agreement, and Mr. and Mrs. Stone also looked at them as well.

when dinner was over, everyone left and went home commented. They commented and complimented Helena again on her cooking as they left and went home. Helena cleaned up Ash helped, and then everyone went to bed.
