If he did, then he wouldn't have drank that juice, that was drugged to paralyze him for two years. "Hour glass, he needed the hour glass from me" Cedric revealed. That made Alvin and Alpine confused. "Hour glass? But we have an hour glass in winter realm as well. Why did he come after the one you have?" Alpine asked. "Because there are three hour glasses in total. One with me, one with you, and one with the dragons. Each hour glass moves simultaneously, when the dragon and the blessed woman meet and fall in love. When all the sand in the hour glass moves down, that means, all the three couple met and are in love. The one you gave in your realm, cannot be moved out of the library. He said you

WEEKS LATER_SOMEWHERE FARAWAY In the dark coven, the beautiful woman with the seductive but deadly beautiful lips smiled this time, her lips parting as she stared at the hourglass that was placed on the high, red slab. The queen's eyes that were mostly always on the hourglass lifted with joy at every second and at every sand that fell down from the top side of the hourglass. Finally! " Finally." She sighed. There was just little sand remaining. So little and her eyes turned to a dark sword and a clay potl that was right beside the hourglass.

Yet, this time, the tune carried a note of urgency, of warning. Don Julio, his expression grave, whispered, "It's the Nexus of Echoes. It's calling out to us." And just as they reached the temple's entrance, the ground trembled, and a massive shadow loomed overhead. They looked up to see a gargantuan hourglass, grains of sand slowly trickling down, each grain representing a moment in time. Eryx, pointing at the rapidly depleting sand, exclaimed, "We don't have much time! Whatever has caused this, we need to reverse it, and fast."

You won't know when something is out of place and has been tampered with. I had fixed tubes around the house for Eidolon to pass through. All I have to do is flip the switch once the timer on my watch clocked five minutes. There's enough in the tube to go round the house, especially her room. Don't worry about me, I have my gas mask with enough oxygen to last me exactly six minutes. So, in six minutes, once I set the timer, I have to be out of here. I spent a ton of money on this, but it's so damn worth it.

I knew that wasn’t what I wanted. “I need something slow. Something that no one will notice until it’s too late. I want something none would ever suspect.” I said directly to him. Even though I was still nervous about the step I wanted to take, I had to voice out what I came here for. “Hmm… then I think this would do,” he said. It was a mini sized bottle. “This is the Octave. It’s so slow, takes 8 months to get rid on anyone. No one would smell a rat,” he said. I grasped it from his hand.

Andrew said thoughtfully. Aiden nodded. "Exactly." "The fun part is there are twelve sapphires and rubies but just one diamond. They all have triggers that will alert me if one of them is found and by whom." Aiden brought out an hour glass. "You have two hours. By the time the whistle's blown you stop searching. And also the one who finds the diamond is the only one that'll be promoted, the rest will fail." "What?!" Ethan gasped. Ryan's fists were clenched. Andrew frowned.

Deep breath. I opened the drawer and pulled the test out. My eyes were screwed shut. Aw, hell. Where were my lady balls? Mind you, if I had balls, I wouldn’t be staring at a stick covered in my urine. 'Okay. Shit. Time to look.' I opened my eyes and looked at that motherfucking hourglass, which was flipping itself up and down, up and down. “You bitch,” I hissed. That had to had been three minutes! If not, it was sure as shit the longest two of my life.

Severin then contemplated to himself, 'I suppose this assessment requires me to refine pills then. His question was finally answered as the voice instructed, "Craft ten types of second-grade pills within an hour. They must be all of elite quality." Severin's composed expression immediately turned stern. "Now this is starting to be a challenge." Crafting ten top-quality second-grade pills in an hour demanded swift alchemical prowess and the ability to discern the most optimal combination of ingredients.

120. Monday, 21:05: Beep. 1.2..3..120. Tuesday, 21:05: Beep. 1.2..3..120. Tuesday, 23:30: “Beep, hello 001. It is now 23:50, the counting system will close in ten minutes, please complete the count from 1 to 120 if you want to continue” Huh? Wasn't that already counted? I looked at the clock, 23:30, no, just on the third day the clock is already out of time, what kind of experiment. I thought, just to be sure, counting again.
