#2 Time works in the strangest ways

[6:31am - A tall, roughly 5'11" bronze-skinned young man appearing to be roughly 19 years of age. With brown/black hair the color of pepper and sand. The Iris' of his eyes glowing an iridescent pink and pupils of a purple hue; climbs out of a window as quietly as possible as if he is sneaking away.

On an island surrounded by water with a lighthouse off in the distance, this planet was known as Deidra. A planet completely separate from Earth yet identical in mass on the opposite side of the Sun, with its rotation perfectly set in parallel orbit to Earth as the planet would never come into contact with it until the Great expedition in the year of 2025 AD. in the present year of 3040 AD. This planet is now home to many different beings known as "Deidics" a race of people whom have developed instead of technology commonly known on Earth in our present day, powers or abilities known as "definitions" to compensate their daily lives.]

Dantzler: "Okay, if everything goes as planned...Mom will be asleep for the next four hours. Which means Xanne will keep her busy as we discusssed when she finally wakes up and Dayna already has the "sugar" for her cereal covered. That means I can run and grab the applications from D.E.M Inc. Since I'm the faster of the three of us, it shouldn't take me more than an hour."

(He then stretches for a bit. Pulling out a cassette player and a pair of headphones. The sun has risen just a bit more. He starts listening to music through his cassette player, as he appears to be displeased with the first few tracks he plays.)

Dantzler: "Maybe I should listen to something different every now and again. Too much of one thing is always a bad thing unless it's food."

(He presses skip once allowing it to randomize. It comes to a song called, "Say so" by Doja Cat)

Dantzler: "I hate this song that this song has been played into oblivion...but fine,whatever." (Occasionally he bobs his head to the tune while prepping himself by stretching for a decent jog)

(He begins lightly jogging out of the neighborhood. Deciding to run by the cliff edge and look over the water. It always calms him before a long run and he felt the breeze the cliffside provided to be welcoming.)

Dantzler: "I miss that smell. Probably one of the best things you could ask for. Fresh open air, wild animals..." (He sighs) "It's a good life. Wait, speaking of open air. It's only two minutes from here if I walk. So if I were to go hunting first, Xanne would never know. Which means I could eat breakfast before he got any." (He laughs sardonically.)

(Dantzler jogs towards the cliff edge with a speed that would make most people feel as if an arrow had flown past them humming to the music all the while as he begins to count to himself out loud.)

Dantzler: "29...30...31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36...Hey a new record. It usually takes me about 2 minutes to get here. Have to admit, this is a pretty good day. Well, chalk it up to luck I guess." (He shrugs nonchalantly.)

(After stretching for a moment, he places cassette player back into his jacket pocket. Just as a certain "Punk" Techo song is about to end. He looks forward to see the cliff edge. It's then that he sees what appears to be a mass of "flames" falling downward from the cliff. He sees; for a moment, what he thought was a hand descending below the cliff's edge.)

Dantzler: "Shit! No-no-no-no. Not today! Choose Life!" (Out of instinct, he runs and dives off the edge of the cliff without a second thought. He grabs Kimora as they're falling and looks her up and down.) "Damn you're hot... now is not the time." "We're in a tight spot here. Guess there's no way out of it. If I'mma die, I'mma die like a man!"

Kimora: (Briefly noticing a hand as she fainted from the force of the winds and the shock of her about to fall to her death.)

(As they are falling, he scoops the girl up like a child and manuevers his body. With himself now underneath her. They begin falling at ~350mph for 8 seconds due to the increased gravity of the planet. His body slowly begins to ignite into flames six seconds in. Even so, he only smirks as he thinks to himself "This person may have a chance".)

Dantzler: "Well, shit."

(Quickly taking action within one second exactly he shoves her as hard as he can off of his body upwards, just before they hit the ground with him cushioning her fall. A loud crunch is heard as he hits the ground.)

(8am: About an hour and a half later Kimora sits up dazed, holding her head as she is reeling from a mild concussion.)

Kimora: "Aghhhh, THAT hurt like hell! Apparently the world decided to say "goodnight sweet princess"....

(She looks around confused.)

Kimora: "What the... wait...I'm not drunk... Right not old enough to do that yet, I think I fell and from the looks of it...... and pretty far at that."

(Looking up, she realizes she fell over 1800ft. As she looks down, tears begin to well up in her eyes. She realizes she's on top of the remains of a boy she's never met.)

Kimora: (Gagging) "I'm gonna be sick. Is that a... what is that? It's...his ear..."

(She notices the headphones and traces the cord back into his jacket pocket. She discovers the barely intact cassette player and picks it up realizing that he placed his hand in his pocket at the last second to cover it, this being the same hand that initially reached out to grab for her.)

Kimora: "I'm so sorry... I never meant for this to happen to you. I don't even know you yet. Just this once..please, please work! He was willing to give his life for me. That's how time works right? You give your's for another's. Otherwise, what are we living for? You know, you were probably pretty cute before this happened. I'm sorry. Now...let's try this. Distortion!"

(Time pauses around them and it seems as if the world begins to slowly distort and gurgle. Just as everything fades to black just and Kimora is seen losing a large amount of blood almost as if she had taken the hit that Dantzler just took simultaneously as the distortion is ending.)
