The girl and the endless time

chapter 19

I then gather mana in the air to restore my magic, it's not enough, my face then darkens on what to do next. The shadow phoenix then flew above Alice watching her movements. “Master, it seems like she is going to give up soon,'' said the shadow phoenix. “Ha it's working, keep watching a bit more, I know she has a few tricks to pull this off, to escape my garden,” said the mysterious guy. She started breathing really hard as she got up from the ground. “Alice, are you doing alright? You look really pale, let me help you fight as well,” said Silver as he looked at Alice with a sad expression. “I'm fine you don't have to fight at all Silver, I have to solve this matter myself,” said Alice. A vicious bear beast with a lion mane then appeared behind Silver. Alice ran behind the bear beast and then she gave off an intimidating aura. The bear beast then growled at her as he turned around. Alice slowly began to spread her arms and took a deep breath. Alice then summons clock hands and cogs around her. I hope this will work, this is my only chance to win and we're almost close to the exit. The bear beast then extends his claw and fangs toward her and Alice enhances her magic and flicks her hands at the beast bear claws and forehead. The beast bear then landed on the ground, he then shook his head and then he ran toward her again. “It seems like you're not going to give up,'' said Alice as her aura grew darker from the anger and of using too much mana. He roared at her and she then sighs at the bear beast. “Get a breath mint would you?” said Alice as she used her gears to s***h the bear’s stomach. He then roared in pain from the s***h. “You had this coming, when you challenged me,” said Alice. The bear beast then bites Alice on her leg with his remaining strength. Alice then kneed on the ground. What's up with this wound, it’s not healing, even my time magic isn't turning black. “Alice stand back, I will defeat him for you trust me, plus you're running out of mana, you should rest up,” said Silver as he transformed into his wolf form. He then ran up to the bear beast and clawed out his eyes and heart. The bear beast then died from Silver's attack. Alice then used her gears to reverse the time on her injury. “I prove myself to you, Alice, that I can help you,” said Silver as he smiles. “You are right and I have always been on my own, I have been separated from my other half for a long time,” said Alice. “Even so you two can reunite one day and the loneliness will disappear,'' said Silver as he hugs Alice. “Aww that's sweet of you to say that Silver, shall we keep going,” said Alice. “Yeah, let's keep moving on,” said Silver. “Ah they're almost close, I'm the last one they have to beat,” said the mysterious guy as he viewed his shadow phoenix eyes. “Where near the exit now,” said Alice as they both ran toward the gate. “Not so fast you two I'm the last, one you have to beat and I'm no pushover like all the others you fought,” said the mysterious guy. “So you're the guy who took me and of course your face is hidden and the only thing I can see is that freaky smirk of yours and why do you care so much,” said Alice. “That's just how I smile, is it wrong to smile like this and the reason I do this is because you're interesting and you're a flower who hasn't bloomed yet, that is my answer to your question,” said the mysterious guy. “Wow, on all of your answers that’s not good enough, and I don't wanna hear any of your excuses, let's get this over with,” said Alice as she snapped her finger and made the gears then appeared around her. “Oh that's how you wanna play, how interesting, I will go along with it,” said the mysterious guy as he snapped his fingers and his familiar land on his shoulder. He then glared at Silver. “This is my familiar, he’s a shadow phoenix, his name is Okano,” said the mysterious guy. “I knew, I felt something in the sky, it was your familiar the whole time spying on us,” said Alice. “Yep you guess right, you don't beat around the bush do you? and it seems like you don't have one,” said the mysterious guy. “Stop being nosy, why does it matter if I have one or not? I don't have any time to waste with this conversation,” said Alice. Fine, fine I will stop for now as he took out a rune pen and drew on his skin he then made boulders appear around her and Silver. “So you're also a rune user as well, I can't let you win so easily just because you are also a rune user,” said Alice as she crossed her arm. “Don't tell me you're jealous, stay here with me and I will teach you, rune magic deal or no deal,” said the mysterious guy. “Hell no, who do you think I am? And no deal,'' said Alice as she shouted to him. “One day you should drop that arrogant attitude and soon enough you change your mind,” said the mysterious guy as he said it in a calm voice. He then added a new rune on his body and he made vines appear. And wrap Alice and Silver. “This trick isn't going to work again, even if you place a new rune on your body,” said Alice as she broke free from the vines using her gears to cut the vine and then she cut Silver's vine. “Hmm so you broke that spell, I underestimated you since you were asleep for so long, I didn't think you could fight at all,” said the mysterious guy. “Even if I was asleep, I know how to fight and use magic,” said Alice as she made more gears to appear and once she did that all the gears connected. they turned into a giant clock Alice's eyes then started ticking making a loud noise. “You finally brought out your last trick,” said the mysterious guy. The clock reversed the spell that targeted Alice, toward the mysterious guy. He dogged and then he flipped and landed on the top of the table. “Wow that was a close call, but not good enough, you're gonna have to try harder to beat me,” said the mysterious guy. She started to sing and made her voice echo towards his ears. He cast a rune, to block her voice. Alice then made the clock vanish and her eyes stop ticking. She then turned the gears into a bow and arrow and aimed it toward his shoulder. He caught it but he didn't notice there was another arrow behind him. The mysterious guy turned into a shadow and went behind Alice and grabbed her hand and tossed her towards the ground. He then reverted back with his cloak covering him. The mysterious guy then stepped on her stomach. I won't let you leave as he laughs. She then moved her ears signaling Silver. “Let me go this instant,” said Alice. “Not until you say, I give up and say pretty please,” said the mysterious guy. He then grabbed Alice by pulling her ears. “Your rabbit ears are soft and I know what you're planning,” said the mysterious guy. “Are you accusing me of something?” Said Alice. Silver then looked at Alice. She then nodded and Silver flew and pounced on the mysterious guy. He then dogged Silver attack as he loosened his grip on Alice. “Ow what was that for, you could have gently let go of my ear,” said Alice. The mysterious guy glazed at her and then looked at Silver. “You're slow, you mutt, I saw you coming from a mile away,” said the mysterious guy. “How dare you insult me? I'm a wolf, I'm nowhere related to a dog,” said Silver as he growled at the mysterious guy. “My master is right, you know, you're just like a mutt,'' said Okano. “Alice, shall we combine our power and leave this place,” said Silver as he got angry. They then combined their strongest spell together and a blue light flashed and blasted the mysterious guy and Okano toward the hourglass. Alice and Silver both ran out and teleported before they could react. “Master, are you okay with her leaving like this?'' said Okano. “I will get her back one day, no doubt about it, I was able to get good news,” said the mysterious guy as they got back up. “Phew, we got away from him, what a long fight, I'm excited,” said Alice. “We're near a human city, if we pass through this barrier we will be there,” said Silver. “Wait, you're still in your wolf form,'' said Alice. “Oh I forgot they would run in fear, what about you, your rabbit ears are showing?” said Silver. “I almost forgot about it,” said Alice. She then cast a spell over her ears and Silver reverted to his other form. Now, we can go Alice as they both laugh at each other for forgetting to change their looks. This is what the city looks like. It's amazing I never got the chance to see a human city before I was sealed in the clock coffin. “You had 1 year at that time and that bracelet, where did you get it? And it has some kind of negative energy on it,” said Silver. “I did, and I was able to travel all over earth and I didn't notice I won this in a contest in one of the supernatural cities,” said Alice. Now that I look at you look just like Saito but the color of your hair is opposite from her,” said Silver. “I am her other half, some things are different but she is missing one thing, the time magic that's the difference she can't gain it, something has to be sacrificed it seems you know what it is,” said Alice. “I was told by master Kurogane,” said Silver as he went silent. Don't worry Silver, I have a plan until that day comes, but back to what I was saying, we look the same and our eye color is different. She has light blue eyes, I have mixed eye colors with clocks in them day and night. Her eyes will change, one day and it will look like mine. “So that's how you two look different, why doesn't she know about you? Because of her seal right?” said Silver. “Yes, she can't know about it yet,” said Alice as she looked at him. “Something smells delightful, let's go in,” said Alice. They then went into the shop. “Hello and welcome,” said the waiter. Hello as we greeted her back and then she guided us to an empty table. “It's gonna be a long journey and we have to collect half of the objects,” said Silver as he showed her all of the world they had to go to. “Can I get the raspberry rose pancake,” said Silver. “I want a butterfly strawberry pancake,” said Alice. “What would you like to drink?” said the waiter. “Two blue stars drink,” said Alice. Alright is that all you want? As she typed it on her . “Yes that will be it,” said Alice and Silver. It will be done in 20 minutes as she heads toward the kitchen. “Silver, what is the name of the clock and what object is it?” said Alice. “The name of the object is called, flower shell crystal clock. It's a pocket watch and we’ll be traveling to different worlds, the name of the city we're going to is called Azure,” said Silver. Excuse me, here is your order as she places their food in front of them. “It's so good and sweet,” said Alice. “Yep, it's really good,” said Silver as they then finished. Silver then pays for them. Thanks, Sliver, no problem Alice and they left the shop and went back to the same area they teleported. Silver, and Alice made their ears appear once they left the city. “Let's go towards that hill to relax,” said Alice. Someone approached them from behind. “You thought you could escape,” said Kaiyo. “I thought you died,” said Ailce as she lay on the grass looking at the sky. “My master healed me from your time spell,” said Kaiyo. Yeah yeah, I figured he had something up his sleeves as Alice yawned at him. “Am I that weak to you?” said Kaiyo. Yep as she lays on her side. Tell your master, I told you he's pathetic as she frowns. “HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY MASTER, YOUR GONNA PAY ALICE!” said Kaiyo. If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you're gonna get as she got up and cracked her knuckles, her gears came out and Sliver's eyes glowed green they then fought Kaiyo He then shot lightning bolts at them they both dodged it. “Silver look out,” said Alice, the lightning then hit her arm. “You know it won't work, I’ll go back in time,” said Alice as she teleports 2 min back. Silver stand behind me, gears come, shield us from the lighting, it then reflects back to Kaiyo, he then doges. “Well that's some spell, I was the one in charge of watching you,” said Kaiyo. “What a nice story we have to go now, bye-bye let's go,” said Alice as they cast their spell together and teleported to the next world. “I can't believe she pulled one over on me again, this is too frustrating, master she got away,” said Kaiyo. “Come back and explain everything to me,'' said the mysterious guy.
