The Chronos Compass

Elara thought she knew the value of time. A clock restorer, surrounded by ticking

history. But one ordinary repair was about to shatter her reality.

Inside an 18th-century grandfather clock, she found the 'Chronos Compass.' A plain,

silver locket that felt strangely cold. Then came the accident. A tiny prick.

And the familiar smell of dust and wood instantly vanished. She wasn't in

her shop anymore. She was lost in a forest. The air thick with blooming jasmine.

The locket was glowing faintly in her hand. The locket hadn't just moved her...

it had moved her through time. Then she heard it: A scream.
