"Just killing it won't be enough," I say darkly, guessing Zeke's thoughts. "If it finds out about its death in the past, it might do something to prevent it, and start everything again."
"Yes. We will have to turn off the time-distorting machine."
I nod. This is obvious, just like the next thing I voice. "Then we will be stuck just like the Time Eater. So we must make sure everyone is in the right time before doing it. This… won't be easy. What's the right time for Leaf and Lizard?" I ask. "And we still didn't find people who had disappeared from the surroundings of the castle."
"You were looking for them?" Leaf asks, surprised, though I've mentioned it to him before. Unlike the last time, when he appeared entirely clueless about it, now he says, "I think I saw them in the cellar. Wasn't it where the Time Eater took Lizard? Poor Lizard…"
