(MC POV)
I've watched the children continuously battle against the Great Ones trying to breach the space for an inordinate amount of time, exactly how much time has passed, I could not even say.
No, the reason why is not because of the fact that we're in space or that I've lost track of it because of Iris, but simply because I've temporarily suspended the origin of time flowing in the rest of the universe. Thus, to the rest of the universe, not even a single second had passed.
Iris was especially satisfied with what I was doing considering it has been quite a while since the two of us were alone, so she was basking in that fact the entire time while leaning against me.
Now that I was satisfied that they would be kept occupied for quite a bit of time, I created an alarm here that would let me know if, for some reason, the Great Ones managed to get past the children.
