"Hiss, hiss, it seems there are some things you haven't told me yet." Alcmene said with a few discontented flicks of her tail at Pannis, "Do you know who Jack mentioned? Hiss, hiss, what's their background?"
"Uh, it's not that I deliberately kept it from you, I just initially thought that the two matters weren't closely related, so I didn't bring it up," Pannis scratched his head, explaining awkwardly, "It's an organization called 'Sands of Time.' The members we know of are mostly Mages. They've created tragedies everywhere, using Magic Arrays to kill many people, and all the victims died in the same way, by becoming incredibly aged, then dying from complete organ failure—what we commonly refer to as dying of old age. Based on some information from the Sea Race, it appears their goal is to steal these people's time, collecting the victim's time for reasons unknown."
