Nowadays  detectives use watches as an item which foretells the time, however this detective uses one that is capable that more.

"Gosh, if it wasn't  for this watch then I'll  never be able to do this" the blonde detective walks through the halls, looking outside of the windows, she can see the sky colored in blue, deep blue sea. Like the moon, this city is hidden in the daylight then comes out shining in the night. Amelia's train of thoughts came to a halt as she heard

"Tell me who you are before I scream for the royal guards." She turns around and sees  girl with white hair and blue strips, her eyes blue and red, wearing a dress you would see in mythological goddesses. it was a sight to see. An atlantean, a myth in the books of the future.

"I am amelia Watson, a time traveler" she said as she held out a watch she was given as a child, she knew who made it. "I came here to clear up my mind, but I accidentally  input the wrong time. We'll  meet again, Gura!"  She secretly was making a time portal back to her time, she jumps back into the embedding  light  behind her as she sees the atlantean widen her eyes, so gura had two different  colored eyes before.

Her portal takes her somewhere she knows too well, where the warden of time is at. It's not like the warden is alone, as time flows  together with others she finally calls "friends"

"Amelia, you know that's against  the rules?" The warden looks at her gloved hand manifesting her power, Amelia gets ready to run. Slowly the blue light that emitted  from kronii's hand started to go towards the detective, she gets ready to be hit by the light but instead it hit her watch.

"I know you weren't doing that accidentally, let it go, atlantis already fell."

"That's big coming from you, kronii." Amelia hisses back.

"Am I supposed  to laugh?"

"Look here kronii, I don't know why you brought me here, but I don't have time for your games. Don't act like you don't  slip through timelines just to see that forgetful guardian of yours." Amelia winced as she realised what she said, a blade manifested in the warden’s  hand but this time it manifested as a dagger, she was getting ready to fight and run. The warden laughs and says "You know me, I cannot  leave things  in the past...I'm the warden of time, I can wait, isn't that right everyone?" she smiled, she kept on laughing and smiling but it never seemed to reach her eyes, ever since atlantis fell, her smile never reached her eyes. Never reached the smiles she had when the guardian was still by her side.

Mumei takes kronii's hand as she widens her wings, it was normal for the warden to hold her tight  while she was carrying  the warden while  they flew, but this time she held on tighter, like the moment her grasp loosens she'll  disappear  and the warden will fall.

"We're almost  there kronii!~"

No matter how much she ready herself  for this event, she'll never get used to it.

atlast they arrived in a city, full of life, slowly the city started to fall, kronii feels her body go numb but she's  still standing.

"This civilization is bound to fall, I have to fall with it." Mumei smiles but sadness and fear showed in her eyes, she doesn’t want to see how the warden looks  so she turned around, slowly she heard footsteps coming towards her way, her body was forced to turn around to face the other person, to face her. Kronii's tears were shining against the sea of flames, the one that'll  take this civilization  and its guardian  down with it.

"Don't cry kronii, you'll  find me again just like you always do... Or maybe this time I'll  find you!" the owl's caring and lovable  demeanor never fades, she knows kronii, they'll  be together once again.

———

"Cmon Gura! Please just hold on a little bit longer!" Amelia carries the shark through the falling halls.

"Ame, have I ever told you that you smelt like home?I know you aren't atlantis but you, you're my home.." Gura manifested her power to push herself off amelia.

"No! I'm not letting you go! you! You lived in the other timelines, but I want you to be alive in this one!" the time traveler runs from the portal to the laying body of the atlantean shark, she gets pulled to the portal.

Kronii hugged mumei for the last time, knowing that in some miracle she'll  come back, like the detective  they're  both hoping that the warm feeling of their fated ones will come back,  back to them. They're  willing to wait, they are both part of time after all.

The city was engulfed  in the sea of flames taking everything down with it.

"You're my atlantis, but I'll  be the one to fall."

"My memory is bad, but I remember everyday that I love you."

Smiles were given as both of them watched their love ones, their home.
fade into nothingness.

As everything  went down, The traveler and the warden gets pulled  to their signification portals to their domains, Amelia holding onto 2 hair pins in her hand as kronii held two feathers in hers.
