As Hayden breaches the time portal, a sinister shadow emerges, distorting the very truths he seeks to safeguard their future. Meanwhile, Dalon Con, a divine emissary, joins forces with Gabriel, a youth scarred by a violent past, on a crucial mission to save Burrus Plax. Together, they combat the dark forces of Hag, the puppet master whose evil infiltrates every crevice of the dying world. As they plunge deeper into danger, every victory summons a new foe. Time itself becomes a battlefield, as Temporal thieves warp the continuum, threatening universal chaos.Will they triumph over the encroaching storm, or is the universe doomed to fall into an eternal abyss of chaos?
