"What is that...?" Roland muttered with a shudder as he looked at the Blood Skull, he had never seen such artifacts before.

"Nothing much." Enar shrugged nonchalantly, "It's just a trinket that will help me save time, by the way, get started." Enar raised his head.

Blood Skull smirked and opened his jaw wide. Out of it, four scarlet chains flew outward, stopping parallel to one another as if they were plunging into space.

A magic circle appeared between the chains, from which a huge hourglass gradually emerged, swinging slowly from side to side over the red orb of the lava lake. The hourglass was completely empty, as it had yet to be filled.

"Hehehe, now let's start my favorite part." Blood Skull grinned and opened his jaw even wider.

At the same moment, a chain with a sharp tip headed toward everyone in the magic circle. The only exceptions were Roland and Zayne, however, they still had three chains aimed at their mates to take care of.
