章 1782: Eris! Save me!

Robotically, the Clockwork Engineer surveyed the scene with his small glass-like eyes. When they landed on Felix and Uranus, both frozen mid-conflict, he paused for a second.

Then, he lowered his gaze, showing no interest in the drama between them. He had only one mission, fix any alternation or damages to the Clocks.

With steady steps, the Engineer approached the central mechanism of the tower, the grand clock whose hands had been halted by Felix's command.

Reaching the base of the clock, the Engineer climbed the stairs with great familiarity, navigating the labyrinth of gears and levers with ease.

As he reached the clock's mechanism, he pulled from his belt a set of small, perfectly crafted tools.

He started adjusting the gears, tightened springs, and realigned the clock's hands. In almost no time, he brought life back to the clock.

As he made the final adjustment, the clock's hands shuddered, then began to move once more.
