⏲ Clockwork ⏲ The boy opened his eyes. He looked down at the clock around his neck quizzically. What had just happened? He was in the same cave he had always been. But things were different. Horrifyingly different. Outside, he heard an explosion as the cave shook with the impact. His heartbeat starting to quicken, the boy rushed outside. This wasn't his home. It was a war zone. Suddenly, someone pulled him back into the cave. "Child! You're not supposed to be out here," a gruff voice hissed in his ear. The boy yelped and hopped away from the man. "W-what do you want?" he squeaked. The man looked down at the boy's clock. "You have a dangerous weapon with you. One that will forever change time. You must be careful with it, or else there will be drastic consequences." The boy looked up at the man with a puzzled expression. But before he could ask anything, the man said, "You will find out as you travel deeper into the past... deeper into the dark secrets of your family." With that, the man turned, his cloak swishing as he disappeared into the darkness. The boy stared after the man in surprise, before he looked down at the clock, opening it. It appeared to be an ordinary clock. But the difference was that the hands were frozen, and instead of hours... there were years. And he was in the year 1880. But then there was a transformation as the hands moved rapidly. Suddenly, he was back in the present time. 2015. "Etu! Where are you?" a voice called, and the boy hurriedly put away his clock, panting for breath. "H-here," he managed. Etu Stark left the cave, bewildered and confused.
