His death seemed imminent unless Stefan sent him back to town right now. When Jimmy spoke again his speech was slurred and heavily accented, “I think… I think there was another adventurer after her. We saw him in town. He wore a dark cloak. We didn’t get a good look at him. Maybe his hearthstone left traces of magic? You could trace it.” Stefan frowned. He was surprised at himself for not thinking of that. He must not have been thinking straight. But it was a good idea and this thug had shared what he knew.

Was he searching for me? Had he even noticed I was gone? One of the things I learned from Isabelle was that there is no such thing as linear time. Man fabricated it to support the reality he chose to experience when he was placed on the planet. Many creatures other than men -such as vampires- are aware of this to some extent and can in many ways bend time.

He indeed fit within the crew of misfits. Garth places his free hand along his face. Ever so slowly his middle and index finger trace along the warm fluid that coats his face. Clearly and swiftly, he wipes it from his visage. He slings that liquid down on the barn’s ground then he turns that attention to the goblin that is stung up. The knife in his other hand slowly grazes along the stomach of the creature. Like meat being flayed alive, the Shade member screams in pain. The wound opens up and spills out on the floor, however, something awful happens. As Garth moves to the side of the goblin something is left in his place. A time anomaly was created in the place from which he moved. This oth

I looked at her. She was the woman who had once sworn to spend her life with me. I had known her for the past seven years. I had seen her at her best and at her worst. I knew what she was like when she was flourishing and when she was worn out. But now, she looked like a stranger to me. "Clementine, go home." "I won’t!" "Go." I shut the door in her face. "And don’t come back." She wailed for a long time before the security came to take her away.

In his place was a man who had finally found the counterweight to his own ambition. The girl who picked locks had found the one thing she couldn't steal and didn't have to: a place where she finally belonged. The "Glitch" had become the core of the system, and for the first time in two hundred years, time wasn't something to be managed or feared.

Eventually, I was the one who got 'adopted'; the other kids in the orphanage looked on with jealousy. However, the little blind kid stood in front of me, brandishing the only weapon he had: a broken brick from the garden, refusing to let them take me away.

I thought that after this incident, he might finally learn his lesson and stop pulling this kind of stunt. Unexpectedly, another delivery showed up outside my door that evening. I took it downstairs and tossed it into the trash along with the garbage from my apartment. When I came back upstairs, Derek was once again standing outside my door arguing with a delivery driver.

A being cloaked in shifting mist, its face constantly changing—sometimes a child, sometimes an elder, sometimes a faceless void. The Keeper of Time. --- The Keeper’s Game The being raised a skeletal hand. The hourglass glowed brighter. "You stole from time. Now, time demands retribution." Logan’s jaw clenched. “What do you want?” "A trade." The air grew heavy. "One of you must take Elias’s place." A stunned silence fell over them.
