The Keeper of TIme

Peter's Vision

Peter felt like he was disconnected from his body; he felt like he was floating. When he opened his eyes he was in a room surrounded by mist. Peter blinked a few times, his eyes adjusting to the bright light. Before him stood the Keeper of Light who was no longer larger than him, she took Peter by the hand and led him to one of the walls covered in mist. She gently pushed Peter forward and the room changed. He was now standing before the Grand Council, their bench high above Peter. Peter sees himself receive the green cloak of the Keeper of Time. He sees how happy the people are with him as the Keeper, and he sees how happy he is. But most importantly Peter sees how happy Katherine is, she stands next to him as he addresses Eden. At that moment Peter makes his decision, he is going to become the Keeper of Time.

Katherine stands next to Peter and the Keeper of the Light watching them in their trance. She can hear the sirens from above and the guards clambering down the hole. Katherine yells to Peter trying to wake them up. She knew if the guards got here before they woke up Peter would never have the opportunity to become the Keeper of Time.

"Peter! Peter wake up!" Peter heard. Katherine's voice got clearer and clearer with every repetition. Peter's surroundings became fuzzy as his subconscious self returned to The Garden. Katherine shook Peter out of his haze and pulled him to his feet.

"Where'd she go?" Peter looked around in confusion as the Keeper of Light had disappeared. Suddenly Peter and Katherine were lifted into the air. The Keeper of Light was carrying them to the edge of the Garden. Peter looked at Katherine in fear and Katherine could understand what he was saying just by his expression "She's gonna throw us off the edge."

Katherine looked up at the large ethereal figure with fear in her eyes. The Keeper of Light gave Katherine a comforting look calming her nerves. Katherine looked at Peter and tried to calm his nerves, she knew that the Keeper of Light wouldn't hurt them. The Keeper of Light brought Katherine and Peter over to a river that flows to the edge of the Garden. The other side of the river supplies the water to the tree of the Garden, and where Peter and Katherine were placed was the drainage of the tree. The Keeper stood on the bank of the river as they flowed downstream, watching them until they went down the waterfall.

Except this wasn't a normal waterfall, it connects to Eden. The river flows across the 1st-4th o'clock district. Where Peter and Katherine exited the river was in district 3 the lumber district so they were in the cover of trees. There was no time to stop however, time travels differently in the Garden and Peter's two weeks were up. He was meeting with the council today.
