The Time Stone, Third Edition (Extended Version)

Outside in the clearing by the bushes, James and Tina sits, as James held the device he is given by the Chief. He felt bad taking it, but as he is told, they possessed it for generations waiting for his arrival.

“You know what this means, don’t you?” Tina uttered with her arms crossed over her legs.

“What?” James asks.

“You have powers and you used them during our escape from the wolf creature beast things. Alexa must have seen that and fingered you as the one they call the holder because it jives with their religion. It also means it is no accident or random fluke that made us travel to this part of the world. All our lives and experiences could have been preordained just to get us here or you anyway. I don’t know what I’m doing here.” She sunk down to the ground feeling depressed.

“To watch my back, you know I wouldn’t have been able to do half the things you did since we reconnected, including read those wall paintings. You’ve got a lot of talent, brains … and beauty.”

“Thanks” Tina said, as she blushed. “I think you are going to be great, James. I see good things ahead for us. I know we already made a great team so far and will be a great team for a long time.” Tina says and the duo smiles at one another.
