"Time? Time?! That's so cool!" Reality smiled.

"You came because you ran away,
don't be afraid that I know.
Because I am just time itself,
I see things come and go.

Friends Fantasy, and Worthless too,
they're locked up far away,
they need a hero, maybe four,
for them to save the day.

I present to you a gift, to help,
but please don't pay me back,
because time has no price at all,
No one would relax."

"Wait," Hope said, confused. "You're giving us a gift to save Fantasy and Worthless, who you freakishly know about, because we are strangers who just walked in your house?"

Time held out her hand, and a red alarm clock appeared. "I'm not scary,
or at least I really don't try,
so please understand that kindness
doesn't need a reason why."

"Okay..."

"Take this, it will help you when there is no answer,
A clock is more than checking faster,
The answer will come, when the time comes.
And you will be its mas-" she stopped. "Time, time, someone is leaving, time time, someone is redeeming..." She turned pale, her eyes glassy.

"What's wrong?" Light asked.

"The beautiful rose of adventure,
is the one who changes feature.
Go, go on, finish the long,
find her, and find the answer." Time looked really sick. Her eyes rolled back. The room became dark.

A light sparked, and Reality, Hope, Curiosity, and Light appeared by Dark's castle again, but this time by a different door. Letters faded into the face of the clock that Hope was holding.

You will know what to do with this when the time comes.

"Okay..." Hope said as she read them out loud.

"Well, the door?" Curiosity motioned to the dark, dirty, maroon door. Then she turned the rusty handle. The door opened, showing a dark hallway. "Let's go in."
