Temporal Pearls

"I'm a chief and can help you convert them to Union Subscriptions. But I will have to go back to my sanctuary!" Lady Rain said.

"Okay, we will talk about it!" Seth said as he stared at the money with complained emotions.

"Can I do something please?" Seth asked, and they nodded and he went around pinching them. However, he wasn't touching their skin but their aura. And made Aura Goblets with the help of Moon Stigma.

After that, he brought several aura goblets and asked if they knew their value. But no one knows.

"You pinch us, why?" Rena asked.

"I plucked some of your aura with your approval and I will use them on the painting in Vela Sanctuary! The image will be more pronounced and imposing as if real. Just like Temra!"

The fire dragon seemed real as if moving when people looked at her while they were moving. Thankfully it was an Icon, and everyone got used to it to a certain degree!

They were about to ask more when Captain Brown entered with a solemn face, "Dark Wave might be here sooner than later. And the Observers can't determine what it is and how to counter them. Not only that, Dream Fortune warned us not to see it at all!"

"What about the Red Valley Chief, is he coming?" Lady Rain asked, they had sought the man's help and agreed to come.

"He will be here tomorrow, I guess. So, we will wait for him, to guide the many people away. If we left now, the Dark Wave might track us!" Captain Brown examined.

"Mr. Enoch, I hope you have a successful transaction" He said with a simple smile.

"Yes!" Seth nodded. The man went out and Seth asked the question he was dying to know. "Where are you going to ingrain the bloodlines?"

"After aiding Zambia to hunt down white sand, we will set back to my sanctuary!"

They discuss where that place was and how to get there. It was very far away, Seth concluded but he thinks he can go there but he didn't show them that.

But he did show interest in where to get the paper ability and nag Rena to tell him the detailed path. She did and even drew him a rough map.

"Seth, can I talk to you, privately!" Zambia asked. Seth nodded and he followed him. The moment they stepped out of the tent, Seth found himself in a glass with Zambia sitting in white sand.

"The substitute for white sand is Moon Crystal. A bit inferior though because it can only be used effectively under the moon. But when used in that condition it was better than White Sand." Zambia explained.

"If this sand you see dried up, then the glass will be destroyed and the sad truth was whenever my life was in danger I either sacrificed something precious or this Hourglass would automatically trigger to save me. I only have eight more uses and it will not be enough because we are going to the land of Gawee Beasts!" Zambia further explained.

"You want crystal moons!" Seth said.

"Yes, but I don't have money like others. But I have something money can't buy, Hourglass babies!"

Seth's eyes raised when he heard babies.

"Haha, strange right? Apparently, if I want to level up, there are ways, one of which is to fill this Hourglass with white sand or equivalent, to the brim. Automatically it will produce another Hourglass but a dormant one. I can give it to my colleague, to nurture it or I can save it for one-time use, which is a waste!"

"So," Seth asked.

"Do you have enough crystal for that? Besides, only Juma has ever been here. It's delicate and can be destroyed easily. But also you can get your Hourglass depending on the value of the deposit. The crystal you gave me is considered Grade 3 but the one you gave Fist was Grade 2 which was lower. The higher the grade the better the Hourglass and shelf life when you nurtured it!"

"How do you know I have more of those!" Seth asked.

"That person you fought in the crater was there before all of us. And you just came and asked for something that belonged to you. We surmised that you were there but escaped due to dragons"

Seth nodded and asked, "Anything can be used you say?"

"No, something of the same value of white sand or equivalent. As long as it's energy?"

"What type?"

"Pure energy like Moon dust!"

"I will test something"

Seth's cloak elongated and wrapped around covering his body. Then silver stripes ran down, making him glow. While hidden he made the Intangible Tangiblity worm come out from his palm and brought Yellow Chief Core.

The sands immediately began to dance around Seth and Zambia frowned seeing that.

Seth then took back the worm and brought out moon crystals. The moment it touched the sand it broke into white sand too.

"We shall wait till the moon is up!" Seth said and Zambia nodded in agreement. Seth then found himself exiting the tent again. He saw people moving around with worried faces. He then returned to the tent.

He and Zambia were said to be gone for 1 hour. The time dilation was big considering he was there only for a few minutes.

They were discussing when a man came looking for more Aura Goblet and when they asked what it can be used for, he answered that the Essence Goblet can be used as medicine, food and energy depending on what it was made from.

It can also be used to activate some one-time used ability.

To them, it was an Essence of an animal, plant or human trapped in the crystal container. But the container was equally nutritious.

Seth was enlightened a lot about its uses and effects.

In the early night, Zambia dragged him into the Hourglass again. Seth cloaked elongated and wrapped him. Then he brought out Moon Dots, the sand dancing around him again but weaker than the core. Then he let it go which made the sand increase.

"Hmm. What is that?" Zambia asked but Seth was busy thinking. He then dropped another one, it increased, then another one and increased. But the next moment the Hourglass rejected it.

"It's good but it seems to not need it much!" Zambia said with no confidence.

Seth then brought out a lot of moon crystals and dropped them. As the cloak wrapped him, Zambia couldn't pinpoint what he was actually doing.

After Seth saw that half of the moon crystal he had on his body depleted, he stopped and brought intangible tangible worms for Yellow Chief Core. The sand danced around him and Seth made the Yellow Chife Core which was M-Y Core to release energy for the Hourglass.

There was a delay of ten minutes before a crystalline liquid came out. The sand within the cloak floated and wet itself before it broke into the sand and that increased it a lot more than what he released before combined.

Seth wanted the moon to be in the sky for his blessing and also protection against nefarious thoughts.

Soon the sand reached his waist, he then stopped and stored it away. Zambia stared at him wondering what different energy was released. He doesn't know what M-y Core was.

"You have more energy treasure?" He commented

"Apparently!" Seth said before he asked, "Is it enough!" Zambia shook his head.

"What is the Hourglass and what will it do to me!"

"Instant life-saving. Make you feel the flow of time. Access to certain places can only be entered with it because time there is erratic. It can also help you reduce the distance or increase it. As a baby, what it can do depends on randomness!" Zambia explained.

Seth emptied his pocket which moved the sand to their heads but there was still space. It was not enough for the baby.

'Did he lie to me!' Seth thought everything he did was for a fake reword. Zambia chuckled as he could hear his thoughts but he didn't show it.

"I think I'm exhausted" Seth gave up. Zambia didn't stand but said let's just wait, it seemed your cloak was active with the moon.

The moon above shone brightly. Zambia brought out a device to absorb the moon and then converted it to white water before spilling it. That way he filled the hourglass.

Seth found himself out but exhausted, he was drowned in white sand and it pressed on his body.

[Congratulations, you have obtained Hourglass Seed]

"Did you get it? '' Zambia asked, he too was exhausted. "I guess so!" Seth wasn't so sure. "Don't tell anyone, please. And I'm sorry for all the misgivings in the past!" Zambia said.

"Hehe, that wasn't a good experience, at all. But no problem!"

[Hourglass Seed]

Seth didn't even know where the damn seed was. But he can see the description. Seth was getting tired of these various unknown categories. As of now, he doesn't even know where Luana's dimension was but he knew it was with him.

But as he remembered his money and also the fact he had finished his quest, he felt satisfied. The game can be as difficult as it could be, but he won't care as long as there are tangible benefits.

When cool down was over and he got his 10 million unions from Fist with a smile, he then met with Raindrop Leader and talked about conversion. She gave him a Contract he sent the value of the money to then she left.

Thirty minutes later she came back with 10 seth of Union Subscription Numbers that he can use to credit his account. She also gave him a useful item that was converted by everyone. [Oasis Spring] It's a water container that has an unknown amount of water inside and can generate it when depleted. That was his payment for Sapna scales.

He then stormed out of the canyon. Not care whether people followed him or not but they did but at some point, he just vanished.

"He is like a ghost!" Sapna said. She was with other groups that wanted to know where Seth was going.

"I think his sanctuary doesn't want us to follow him!" Lady Rain said.

"What about Temra Dragon? We can't go there without her and this boy is so enigmatic that even Captain Brown, that ruthless monster, was wary of him!" A lady in a black cloak said.

"Captain Brown is just playing it safe, but he has attempted to steal something from Seth. But he can only take red branches, leaves papers, quills and destroyed hammers which he returned to not alert Seth. One time they got nutritious fruits. It's as if he has all his items at Personal Arms!"

Personal Arms can't be stolen easily and most often if there was a possibility, the owner will know. But anything that was Acquire Arms can easily be taken without the owner's knowledge.

That was why Asteroid Weapons are under Personal Arms.

Seth entered the forest with a smile.

[Congratulations]

[Living Roots is pleased with your success and 100 people are guaranteed to survive the vetting!]

"What? Is she happy that I finished the quest?"

To probe that Seth stood at the centre of the village and floated up, then he used Aura Sense. A skill that allowed him to sense aura with his body.

He felt deluxe of green and multicoloured energy passing through him. "It was trying to influence me!" Seth smiled. But he understood why the forest was happy.

The first reason was he spread her seed in the three sanctuaries. Not only that, thanks to Antler droppings the seeds were germinating and were thriving. It was like having an extension for the forest.

It also made Seth realize that the forest was desperately trying to survive too in this harsh environment. It wants to expand and become more powerful.
