"Now Ember, if the master knew we were telling you this he would kill us" I look at Margarita not sure what was going on. "Now the master didn't use to be like this, he was once quite caring" I look over at him then back at Margarita. "He was married to this very beautiful lady, she was the love of his life, and she loved him just as much, he loved her so much that he made a special room just for her, and one year they had a child together, he was happy for the long while, all of us were." I saw there smiles fade as Adélard held to her skirt. "What happened?" "well the day was like another she woke up with the kiss of him and they held eachother until the baby cried... he only left for a second... and the room caught on fire out of no where, but no one made it in time, they were both dead, all that was left was her tiara" Adélard barried his face in his mother's neck as she wiped his eyes and Louis continued. "He went in a full blown rage of anger, he never was the same, he demand for someone to tell him what happened, but non of us knew what caused it, he destroyed everything, begging for someone to bring her back to him he cursed at the gods and most of the survants left due to fear of being killed" "what is with the hourglass then? why can't anyone touch it?"
They sigh and look at me "as the years pasted he became angry with the world, he tried to find a new wife but no one was good enough for him, they were either, to skinny, to poor, to fat or to stuck up, we guess that the gods had enough of him complaining and sent a goddess disguised as an old hag, asking to be his wife, but he refused and told her to get out, he told all of the young ladies to get out, said that he had seen enough of their ugly faces." Cóme sighed and rubbed his neck "the goddess turned from a hag to the goddess of retribution" Katherine put her face in her hands "it was horrible, he demanded that she get out of his castle, but she refused and told him for cursing at the gods and goddesses and not being happy with the woman he had, he would be punished, and of course he mocked her, making her enraged, he blamed them for taking his daughter and wife away, a-a-and" "calm down Katherine I can take it from here" "thank you Cóme" Katherine nods and sits down taking a deep breath.
"The goddess of retribution, cursed him, so he was immortal for ten years, she said as the years go by your health will decline and on the last year, on the last day at midnight you will die, but if you find someone to love before the last day on midnight the curse will be lifted, and the hourglass is counting down the days he has left" "she gave it to him to punish him even more, so he could count down every second he has left to live!" "now Adélard, she didn't give it to him to do that specifically, but yes she gave it to him so he knows how long he has left." I sat there for a moment "wait you mean Nemisis?, the goddess of retribution cursed him to be immortal for ten years and he has to find someone who he can love and one who loves him back?" They nod and sigh deeply "your the only option we have left, he only has the rest of this year... and after that... we don't know what we would do, we have no were else to go" I sigh grabbing my cloak getting up "I'll be in the garden."
