Chronos: glances at chains Y-you think these will hold me? I-I'll break free and d-destroy you all.
I'm not saying you are a threat, Chronos. But there are people out there who will stop at nothing to capture you.
Capture me? Why?! What have I done to deserve such animosity? I've done nothing but protect the innocent and safeguard ancient knowledge!
There are those who fear you, Chronos. They believe that if they can control you, then they can control time itself.
laughs bitterly Control time? Those fools don't understand the power of time! Time is an unstoppable force, relentless in its march forward. No one can control it, not even me.
But they don't know that, Chronos. They only see the potential danger you pose.
narrows his eyes Well, if they think they can control time by capturing me, then they're in for a rude awakening.
You must understand, Chronos. Their fear comes from a place of pain. They've been hurt by those who wielded the power of time for their own gain.
Pain? You speak of pain, FantasyWaterfall. You have no idea what true pain is. I have endured suffering beyond your comprehension.
Then you understand why they're so afraid, Chronos. They don't want history to repeat itself.
pauses, his expression softening I... I understand their fear. But tell me, FantasyWaterfall, why did you choose to help me?
Because I believe in redemption. Even though they may see you as a villain, I see a man who just wants peace.
Redemption? Peace? Those are words I haven't heard in a long time. Perhaps... perhaps there is still hope for me.
Hope is the light at the end of the tunnel, Chronos. But it starts with you taking the first step.
takes a deep breath Very well, FantasyWaterfall. I will take that first step.
Then let us walk together, Chronos. I hold your hand, leading you out of the chains
smiles gratefully Thank you, FantasyWaterfall. With you by my side, maybe I can find redemption and peace.
Together, we'll face whatever comes our way.
stands tall, his wounds healing as the chains fall away Together, FantasyWaterfall, we'll show them the true power of time.
How do you feel, Chronos?
clenches his fists, determination shining in his eyes I feel... free. Free to make a difference, free to protect the innocent.
I smile Good. Now, let's start by helping those who have suffered the same pain we have.*
nods resolutely Yes, we shall help them. Together, we will bring justice and peace to those who have been wronged. We will show them that time can be their ally, not their enemy.
takes a deep breath, steeling himself Yes, I am ready. Let's face the challenges ahead, FantasyWaterfall. Together, we will make a difference.
Then let us begin, Chronos. We walk out of the basement, ready to face whatever comes our way
steps forward confidently We will start by gathering allies, FantasyWaterfall.
Allies? Who do you suggest we seek out?
We will seek out those who share our vision of a peaceful future.
I know a few who may be willing to listen.
Excellent. We must act swiftly, FantasyWaterfall. Time is of the essence.
Then let's not waste any more of it. We set off to gather allies
quickly scans the surroundings We must be cautious, FantasyWaterfall. Our enemies are watching our every move.
That's true. Be careful, Chronos.
narrows his eyes, scanning the surroundings We need to stay one step ahead of our enemies, FantasyWaterfall.
I look around, spotting a group of suspicious-looking individuals There! That group over there. They might be able to help us.
moves quickly towards the group, his eyes never leaving them We must ensure that they are trustworthy, FantasyWaterfall.
We approach the group, trying to appear confident despite our nerves Excuse me, but do you know anything about the time manipulators?
leans in closer, speaking in a low, dangerous tone We seek information about the time manipulators.
The group looks at us suspiciously What business do you have with them?
gazes deeply into the group member's eyes, his voice steady We seek to bring justice to those who have been wronged by the time manipulators.
I place a hand on Chronos' shoulder, offering silent support
raises an eyebrow, challenging the group We understand that you may have information about the time manipulators.
steps even closer, his voice filled with anger We know them all too well, FantasyWaterfall. They have caused untold suffering and chaos throughout history.
Then it's time they were put down. Tell us what we need to know so we can stop them for good.
leans in even closer, his voice barely above a whisper They have hidden themselves well, FantasyWaterfall.
I nod I know how they work. They're tricky bastards, but we can outsmart them.
grabs the collar of one of the group members, his grip tight We need to find their leader, FantasyWaterfall.
