"what did you do to the timeline?" he asked as if he was saying something about the weather.

Calano looked back down at the Croling he was assembling.

"Reset it a little bit. Why?"

"don't do that too much or we'll have a repeat of the allgod era, we do not need another allgod era."

[Going_North_cal]

"Not repeating the Allgod era. Simply wanting a more peaceful life. Is that too much to ask?"

Calano connected a couple of wires, and the wings of the Croling flapped a couple of times.

"just be careful with reseting the timeline, okay?"

[Going_North_cal]

Calano glanced up at Rond.

"Relax, Rond. Life's good again! Nothing's trying to kill us, I'm tinkering with this little guy," He gestured to the Croling, "And I haven't a care in the world."

He gestured to the door. "Go outside! Live a little!"

Found found her very interesting.

The dragonet licked Found.

"that's like telling a fish to live on land."

"Wait long enough and it'll happen, my friend."

"Wait long enough and it'll happen, my friend."

Rond shrugged, then teleported to his own lab.

[Going_North_cal]

Calano chuckled, then continued working on his Croling, a contented grin on his face.

He took a deep breath, and his chest felt... peaceful. Blissful.

He connected a few more wires, and the Croling hopped to it's feet, chirping. The fan in it's chest began to whir, and it shivered.

"I will name you Rin. Hello, Rin."

The Croling chirped up at Calano, who smiled.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Peace, of course, could never last long on The Longest Thread.

Calano felt the presence of somebody nearby. Perhaps... looking over his shoulder.

Found did not mind.

Rym idly wondered how Calano was doing.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

The dragonet rubs against Rym and looks up at him. She seems to be asking what is my name?

Calano glanced behind his shoulder.

[NameIess]

Nameless, as the foremost expert on naming things, named the dragonet Sar.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

The dragonet refused this name and looked to Rym to name her, squeaking sounds coming from her mouth in an attempt to communicate.

[NameIess]

Nameless got a little upset, and bribed Rym to name the dragonet Sar.

Calano glanced behind his shoulder.

A human looking person was there, watching Calano's work. They stepped back as they were noticed, and applauded. "Very nice. Do you think you could make something like that, that's maybe a bit more... d̵͕͊ḁ̵͆ṉ̸̈́ĝ̴̲é̶̫r̵͎̚o̸̓ͅü̸̞s̶̲̕?̴͓́"

[Going_North_cal]

Calano glared at the person.

"No."

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

They smiled, holding out an engraved golden disk, with glowing accents. "... Are you sure...?"

[Going_North_cal]

Calano inhaled sharply, staring at the disc.

The properties of that disc... It could do so much...

"What do you need?"

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"Perfect." The stranger hissed. "If you want this precious trinket here, you will build something simple, I assure you. Nothing more than... a vessel. I need a watch, a necklace, an earring, a ring, whatever is easiest, that can harness this." The stranger held out one of their hands, palm facing up. A smoky mass of black clouds and red lightning coalesced in their palm. The mere sight of it gave Calano a dreadful sinking feeling. "̸̦̪̩̎̒C̸͇̼̾͛ͅä̵̖̽̄ṅ̷̢̕ ̶̻̉͘i̸̻̿͂t̴̬͈̓̋͘ ̸̡̹̩̀̃͝b̵̟̹̍ẹ̸͂͝ ̵̙̣̎́d̴͍͈̤̎o̷̜̤̘̔̚n̷̖̖̣͠e̶̤̒?̷̪̺̽̀͋"̵̗̱͉͝ They asked.

The audience gasped in horror.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

And some started clapping.

Calano's mind began racing. A vessel. A vessel for some sort of miniature storm. Perhaps an orb..? The structural integrity would be well balanced... but what material? Calano was an engineer, not a mage. This would be a challenge. Thankfully, he liked challenges. And suddenly, he got an idea.

He smiled. "It can."
