The City of Black Rock shook violently as the demon pulled the earth down around him. "STOP!" Dukonuu yelled, "I DIDN'T MEAN FOR ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN!!!" The Demon Creed snarled as he looked at the shattered Hourglass on the ground, 'you broke the Hourglass just like I told you too, now you get to watch from bellow as your city tumbles apart!' Above the earthquake's crack in the ceiling of the tomb Duuk could see the Black Stone Pyramids crumbling apart. "What have I done.... WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!"

Pounding both hands into the shattered bits and drained sand of the broken holy time piece a spark of golden lightning sparked from the gold and blue Hoourglasses black sand. "What if it's not too late... What if I go back and kill you???" The Demon was unamused, killing him was impossible for someone like Duuk who knew nothing about killing demonic energies. "I swear, I'll learn," scooping up the pieces of shattered glass and gold along with some of the sand, Duuk stood. "Remember this face Demon, cause I will be your undoing!!!!" Slamming all the pieces on the ground at once a flash of golem blackish light lit up the room pushing Creed the Demon backwards!

Dukonuu was gone, and the mystical Hourglass among with him...

Yellow eyes look up towards the jar that he held in his hands. He watched the bug that flew around the glass container searching for a way to get out. Metaphorical really, since it was how he felt as well, without the whole jar trapping him in a small confines of space. Jin shook his head to get it out of his thoughts. Why Fable needed the bug was beyond him but he had gotten it and now all he needed to do was get it back there... alive. Turning the brunette started walking to make his way back towards the nearest town. Perhaps the train this time instead of walking... that way the Yurin wouldn't be as big of a deal.

The town, or more of city stood off in the distance, past all the woods and greenery that stood in the way. There were buildings of all sorts of sizes that made up the place, creating a beautiful collection of lights at night. It was only one of the smaller cities that lay on the outer part of the land that belonged to the country. The largest city being where Fable was, was most likely at least eight hours away and that was only by train, walking it would be even longer.

Jin sighed, reaching up to run his fingers through his hair.

Waking up wasn't easy, coughing up golden sand with a small black crystals in it was only the start, Duuk's headache killed but at least he was in a bed. But their was something weird about it, green and stringy like Sand Grass but shorter and a lot softer. "I wonder when I am?" Dukonuu said looking about, that is when his eyes stopped. The Hourglass was completely put together, fixed entirely! A weak hand reached out to grab the hourglass, but Duuk's hand fell a bit short and grabbed only the lever on top. Pulling it, to get the Hourglass to come to him time Reset!!!

Sandy vomit poured out of Duuk's mouth as a mile or so away Jin ran his fingers through his hair, unaware of the backwards jump. "When am... Wait," Dukonuu paused, "Did I just jump back a few minutes???" The Hourglass could jump into one hour back in time, but since Duuk had only existed in this time for a few minutes this is as far back as the Hourglass could throw him. Something else echoed in Duuk's mind, as he smashed the pieces that last time both giant Sapphire's on the top and bottom of the time piece had begun to glow...

"What did that mean?" Dukonuu asked, "when both Sapphires glow does it mean the machine is about to jump an extended amount through time? A minute warning?? Something about his memories were hazey. Either way the Sapphire weren't glowing now, meaning he had some time in this... Time. "There must be a reason why the holy time piece through me here? Right??"

Little did Duuk know, but their was a very powerful item in this time, an item that he had to find... An item someone here would use to get power... A mysterious SKY PLATE!!!

Jin let his hand fall back down at his side, tilting his head from side to side cracking the bones in his neck back into place. The city wasn't the worst thing that was for sure and they better be happy that he was able to get the stupid bug. It was hard enough to find let along capture it. He was sure there was still a few rocks in his shoes with each step that he took from the fall into the river he had taken hours before.

The brunette had waited until he dried off to get moving once more, and besides that he had the time. It wasn't getting dark out yet and all he had to do was make sure he was inside before that point, or the point that one of those creatures found him during the night. No matter, Jin was glad enough that he wasn't going to get yelled at this time. He finished a job for once and he wouldn't get punished. Smiling to himself, he held the jar close to his body taking in a deep breath.

"BOY!" Dukonuu yelled at Jin, "where are you going!?!?" Unsure of how the boy would react Duuk contemplated pulling the lever once again, but he didn't want to vomit sand anymore today, maybe tomorrow, but not today. "Got any bad people here? Over powered bad people who are using mysterious items to take over your world??" Duuk thought maybe he was attempting this all wrong, oh well. Worst case scenario Duuk would just go back in time and avoid this conferentation.

The brunette nearly jumped at the sudden yelling voice, fumbling with the jar while he was at it and coming to a stop. His yellow eyes searched for the source of the voice until he came upon the guy, looking over towards him. There was someone else out here? He thought he had been the only one. "...Does it matter where I'm going?" Even he didn't know. He supposed it would be what ever building he could get into and lock. Shifting his footing he tilted his head to the side, before he started walking again. "....Not unless you count Fable as bad people." He mumbled under his breath.

Unfamiliar with the land of time Duuk responded, "then to the man named Fable we go!" From what he learned in his days peaking into the worship temples, the great Mirage Elephant hand Five Sky Plates each of which could sway man, element, or beast. Powers of unseen potential and it was Dukonuu's task to collect them all. "If the Hourglass has brought me here then your time must have one of my plates... And your Sire Fable may know where one is!"

Jin kind of just stared at the guy for a moment. Who was he and what the heck was he talking about. Everyone pretty much knew what Fable was. "It's not a person, it's a corporation... and you're sounding crazier by the minute." There weren't that many people who wanted to go to Fable, he didn't even want to have to go back himself. Sighing, he rolled his eyes as he passed by the guy.

"Wait! Guy!!" Duuk jumped backwards blocking the mans way, "Stop now and take me to your Fable, or else I'll beat your face up!!" His temper was short, it always had been exempt around... Her, Dukonuu's wife. He had been fourteen when they got married, and her only ten, but the four years they had spent together had been the greatest of his life... That was until a demon killed her and destroyed the world. Only as long as Duuk stayed alive and followed the Hourglasses path would the world continue to exist. If it began to fall apart Duuk would know he made the wrong choice and go back an hour to fix it!

"Take me somewhere at least, GUY!!!"

This guy must of had a screw loose in his head, that was the only explanation. Taking the jar, he reached behind him, sticking it in his bag before zipping it back up. "You beat me up... You who is in need of something is threatening me. You need an attitude adjustment and to get out of my way." Jin pushed his way past the guy to continue his walking, this guy who ever he was wasn't worth his time in trying to teach him not to cause trouble with him. He didn't need to have to explain why he brought some guy back with him.

Grabbing the boys bag attempting to pull the guy back into the conversation, but he accidentally tore the bag off his back. At first he was disappointed in his accomplishment, but then he realized that this guy may have things in this bag that he needed. "I got your bag shiney eyes, whatcha gonna do?" He moved backwards as he waved his bag around. "I'll break your little jar... Unless ya take me where I wanna go!!!"

When the bag was taken from him, he spun around to glare back towards the guy and his boasting. Then it came to the jar. Jin bit at the inside of his bottom lip. He couldn't let that bug go, it had taken so long to get it. Taking steps towards the other, he reached out in attempt to get his bag back. "Hey! Give it back. Weren't you ever taught manors!" The brunette complained. He had been so close to not getting yelled at for once, and now all this, what a pain.

Duuk wanted options, he could just smash the jar and if this guy turned too hostil he could just go back in time and undo the jar breaking. "First I want answers, where am I? Tell me about this place or your jar of manors gets broken!" Dukonuu threatened, he didn't exactly know what manors were, but he assumed they were whatever was in this mans jar in his bag.

('Manners' Sorry I didn't realize there was a different spelling for it until I took a look at it again.)

"Those are answers you should have gotten when you go here, learn up on the cities you're going to visit before visiting them and just wandering around all willy nilly." Jin growled. "Besides you're not making any sense." Taking another step getting closer to the guy, he kicked his leg up to kick the guy. He didn't have time for this, he had things to do.

Moving the bag in front of him to protect himself he heard the glass break as the guys leg smashed the jar in the bag with his leg. Falling backwards the bag was tossed behind Dukonuu as the time traveler gripped his hourglass very protectively! "Don't just kick people, this isn't the Szazos fighting pits!!!" Looking back the bag was ripped up, had something alive been in that jar?

The sound of the glass breaking hit his ears and his eyes widened. All his hard work, all of it to waste and he didn't have anything else to put the bug in, not right now at least. "Don't take other people's things then you jackass!" He growled out going after his back to get it back. No only was the glass broken but the bug had gotten loose making it's escape, and his bag was ripped as well.

Dukonuu looked at the bag, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I just, i need to find something or my wife... my wife is gonna die...." Looking at the bag then at his hourglass he pulled the lever! Thrown back in time he began vomiting sand once more, "Oh my gosh that was awful, i forgot about that paaarerghghghgh!!!" Wiping his mouth out with his shirt he stood up and hurried over to the place where he met the boy with the jar the first time and waited for him to walk by, "Lets try this one more time..."

Jin gave a small yawn as he walked his way down the opening in the woods back towards the city, holding the jar in his hands once more. The bug was trying to find a way out, but it wasn't going to find one. His eyes traveled up and down further towards the rows of trees, of which he noticed there was a guy who had come from the woods. There was someone else out here other then him?

Dukonuu waved, "traveler, nice jar that is in one piece!" Trying to be friendly he may have come off as weird. "My name Duuk, I'm looking for Fable!" He smiled, trying to ask for forgiveness for before even though the man wouldn't remember the past. "Thank you for taking me?"

When he got closer to the guy he could make out what the guy was saying. First it was something about the jar and then about taking the guy to Fable. "You're in the wrong city if you're looking for Fable and out of your mind if you want to go there. No one ever wants to go to Fable." He chuckled shaking his head.
