The Emperor grabbed the key, which Glax tossed hard to the ground, with trembling hands. He pulled the gold mask away from his face, revealing his bulging eyes at the fateful realization.
"We… are trapped here! The lock outside needs two keys at once!"
Glax shook his head in denial of such idiocy, trying to control his anger. His mind had already thought fast. He would get out of there with the key, using his second clock.
If his power worked properly in there, that is. After all, if the legends were correct, this was a trap capable of trapping gods.
But would it be able to imprison even a time bender?
"If you get out of here, Caius, will you still have an empire to run?"
"Shut up, it's all your fault!"
"Um, I was the one who thought about betraying someone in such a vile way…" Glax snapped.
"You've already decided your side, and you've made it very clear," the emperor retorted.
