"Harith, there you are!" Harley panted breathlessly. "I need a favour."

Harith swivelled around to look at Harley. "What is it?" he queried.

The blond boy surveyed the Leonin mage. "I am in need of your time-travelling abilities," he explained. "You see, there's this girl I really like, and I have to save her from being expelled."

Harith paused and grinned. "You're that new Vance kid, aren't you. Who's the lucky girl?"

Harley blushed. "It's, um, it's Lylia! She's in trouble," he burst out. "Please, help me, Harith. I'm begging you."

"Fine," the Leonin replied. "But in return, you must do me a favour too." Harley grinned knowingly as Harith whispered, "Help me get Nana."

Nana was another Leonin, and she had known Harith for years. However, the pink-haired mage never noticed whenever Harith tried to tell her how much he liked her. "She's so oblivious," Harith complained. Harley laughed and agreed to the deal.

"In that case, here. This will take you back to whenever you need. You only have half an hour, though. Just give the paw a high-five and whisper when you want to go to. Good luck!" Harith said as he handed Harley a paw-shaped necklace. Harley nodded in thanks and bumped the paw with his hand.

"Bring me back an hour," he said quietly. Harith looked on as Harley disappeared from his view.
