Once long ago A time was at peace with the worlds and at a time their was a great ruler. Name for his leadership, Aden Nile ruled the lands at a time. He protected the time lines and made sure everything about time was at altertation. Which means time can change but never stay the same. One day Aden walked the lines of A time and happned upon a strange looking stick on the ground. In confusement and wonder aden picked up the stick and moved it. The stick grew into a beautiful woman. Aden in shock and awe wondered who this woman is. She spoke her first words with strong seals. Aden you are to resume living on the timeline and cease ruling over A time. With that aden got electricuted and sucked onto the time line forgetting his past life on A time. As for the woman time had changed greatly, she laughed with passion as she over took all of A time. Now in the age of the present A time is forgotten and The rulers of great continue thier journey on the timeline. Aden? what became of Aden. Aden grew up with no memories and lived to the end of his days. Still clutching onto the stick around his neck. Even though Aden tried to remove the stick There was no hope in removing the stck around his neck.

Present day. Adens decendants are playing in the grass. Their names are Adin and Alin Nile, one boy and one girl. as they played in the grass adin said i wonder whats ahead in life alin. not much if your invovled alin says, as a joke. As they run through the fields adin exclaims i see something ahead alin and gets struck by lightning spell, Adin gets severly shocked alin then cast a spell to heal him but it had no effect. A woman shows up and says, i have taken his soul. What alin says, why she says? His bloodline will be mine and laughs as she notices the stick around his neck. But a circle goes around him and his time magic protects him. Damnit The woman says. She doesnt notice the half stick around alins neck. I hold onto his soul though, this should be enough of a sacrifice to save A time. With that the woman disappears into the mist and fades. Alin scream with sorrow and says adin are you..? Unable to set him free, and touching him. Alin goes to the head council of the villiage. The chief their says i know what your going through but theirs nothing we can do you must go town and try and talk to the mayor about a time. Its just a legend to me, he might know about a time the place which the woman mentioned.

Back at a time. the woman tries to sacrifice his soul noticing the stick connection to the great mal-nets. damnit she says with no luck. mal-nets exclaims this is not enough. i need more of the time stick essence.A book appears in front of them adin has the stick passed onto him so does alin one half of the stick since shes a girl. more food, more sacrifice. How is this not enough, mighty mal-nets. you are missing some of the time stick and withought it i cant feed off this child. he is still protected his barrier is not let loose. What do Wyou mean. She asks the stick look closly at it. She looks and it screams cant breathe, I am incomplete the stick says. The woman says, I see. and heads to her viewing magic room. She uses the viewing song and sings, to locate the the other missing half of the time stick. With that a image shows and fills the room. Its alin. The girl says the girl that the boy was with. and says i must feed her to my minions. A hoard of monsters surround the woman. Bring the girl back to me alive. we need that stick. Not that it matters.

On the way to town alin cries and says i must find a way to save adin at all cost. and is surrounded by the hoard of monsters she takes out her magic staff and fights to the last of of her strength. a boy jumps into action and a mage and saves the day he slices the monsters and the mage uses fire magic on them, and burns them to a crisp. Thank you alin says to the boy and mage. no problem we were just passing by. My name is Uga and this is my partner Loath. Anyway we were heading to town anyways. Its strange for monsters to attack out in this type of settings. The girl says it could relate to me being targeted by a woman. Sounds horrible Loath says, well we best be going. And loath and uga go past her and leave for the town. Alin makes it to town and its her first time visiting outside of her village. she heads to the mayors house. and tries to get his help he says a time your insterested in a time. she says yes and well this is the only information i have for you. You must submit to the woman. and he turns into a monster grabs her by the arms and tries to steal the stick around her neck. Uga and loath says father, what are you doing. the girl loath and uga are teleported to a time and so is the father.

They all get up with headaches, whats going on loath says and uga says where are we. The mayor wakes up Loath where are we, I remember a evil woman approaching me and says im here to rid you of your time. and corrupting my mind and timeline, taking full control of my consience. Everyone is gathered I see. And strikes at the Loath and the father. The father pushes Loath out of the way and fights back. The woman casts a spell and the fathers time line is reduced to a baby form. wahh he cries. next up she says. and takes out a magic sword. She swings it a loath and uga. and they dodge the attack. alin screams, what did you do to my brothers soul. youll soon meet your demise. i just need that stick around your neck. alin looks down my necklace. she says. runs past the woman and avoids the attack and heads to the room where her brothers soul lays. she shuts the door behind her. Luckily the woman is too preoccupied with fighting loath and uga. Alin heads to the her brothers soul and its locked down into a glass container. Mal-nets opens his eyes. you are the decendant of aden. My greatest grandfather she asks. He once rueld on a time. Now Time has passed for him. With that the mal-nets then says.life is failing on a time thats why shes after his heirs to assimulate thier bloodline. if you want to end this now and go back to your home you must feed me the time stick. It will fuel my blood and The woman will rule all of a time. It is my bloodline. I see she says then all this suffering will end, Alin says. What will happen to us she asks. You will forget and these events and life in ignorace. And Wonana will rule all. all havoc will break loose. Alin stands there and a image of aden shows before her. I am aden my decendant i am sorry for the trouble this is my last request set free mal-nets with the password and he will stop doing evil.

Alin looks at the writing on the wall. and reads. the poem. A time to end has come. Do not fear the end. which ever way you choose shall be but one death. now say the word that rhymes with life instaed yes what does it mean to do your very…. alin looks up and goes to mal-nets and screams “best.” and mal-nets gets up and joins the stick together. Your twins soul has returned,he says. and wonana turns into her true form a a goddess and they leave a time forever. Alin and loath and uga and the father are restored and A time lights up and disappears with no trace or sign of life or existence.

Everything is restored for alin and adin. Alin returns to the village and resumes her happy life with adin and they all lived happily. Aden smiles back at alin and adin and at night the time a time came to a peaceful end.
