I made a dally assignment that
each would have to land an attack
on me independently. otherwise,
we return to the realm of no
time and train for days. it took
them about two weeks them to individually land an attack on me, I was so proud of them. They've come so far. became so powerful. but they still have much to learn, and I know they are running out of time.
A few months passed, and my students have become equal to me without me using my powers. They needed a break from training, so we had a festival, and the town that Jiro had saved came for the festivities. in the middle of the event, two dark sorcerers from the Timekeepers appeared in the air. " Festivities in the midst of war? how foolish!" Yelled one of the sorcerers. My students and I shift into a battle stance, our senses heightened and prepared for any attack the sorcerers may launch at us. The townspeople scatter and hide, but we remain strong and ready to protect them.
"Show yourself, cowards!" Timoiud yells, his fists clenched.
The sorcerers laugh in response, electricity and fire flickering around their fingers. "You think you can defeat us with your petty skills?" The other sorcerer sneers.
I step forward, my expression serious. "We may be outnumbered, but we have something you will never have - unity. We fight for each other and for this world, and we will not back down."
The sorcerers scoffed but launched an attack anyway. We defend ourselves and the townspeople, our movements precise and calculated. The battle lasts for what seems like hours, but in reality, it is only a few minutes before we finally subdue the sorcerers.
"We did it," Krog pants, his body covered in scratches and bruises.
Jiro nods, her face solemn. "But this is only the beginning. We must remain vigilant, for the Timekeepers will not stop until they have complete control."
Timoiud puts a hand on her shoulder, offering a small smile. "We will face whatever challenges come our way together. That's what makes us strong."
I look out at the townspeople, who are slowly emerging from their hiding places. "We will protect this world and its people, no matter the cost." And with those words, we continue to stand guard, ready for whatever comes next.
