Helian couldn't believe they had come all this way for nothing. Naturally, he hoped this wouldn't happen again. As they ascended back into the wilderness to meet the sunlight and see Midnight thoroughly bored with the whole ordeal Helian couldn't help but wonder... Who could've possibly taken the hourglass of Akatosh? - Meanwhile...

Somewhere far away, in the kingdom of Wayrest.

A man once again lamented the loss of his glove, especially given the weather. Though he had lost it through foolish neglect it was in the first place to make sure that the place was not boobytrapped. The glove had been abandoned in the excitement of the moment. Not that it was a terrible loss, he could always ask the armorer to make him a new one.

The man's cape swelled in the wind when he finally arrived in the courtyard where a squire awaited to take his horse to the stables of the keep.

Not only was there a squire but his commander as well.

"The men on the gate told of your return, I came down as quickly as I could." The man of higher rank said with a friendly smile that quickly turned a shade more serious.

"I trust you have found the item?"

The gloveless knight nodded while he gestured to a wrapped item on his person.

"It is safe with me. Soon it shall be safely in the tower."

The commander could only agree. It was a wise decision to take the hourglass. With the wars going on, and the uncertainty, such a prized artifact could not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. Theirs, and theirs alone were the right hands.

The tower in question was an incredible spire that rose up from surrounding valley. It was like an elevated fortress or vault if anything.

"I trust the grand-sermonizer will be informed." The knight assumed while they walked inside.

The commander nodded.

"He will be notified. As will the Primate."

That was good.

They walked up the steps past the quarters were the squires were being thought. Many fine young men were being shaped into steadfast and loyal knights there. the keep was a massive complex far away from the cities that allowed such intensive training.

Finally they arrived at the top where a pedestal stood waiting.

"If you would do the honors." The commander offered.

The knight nodded and with reverence and precision unwrapped the hourglass and placed it upon that pedestal. It was back where it belonged. With the Order of the Hour.

-

"Shouldn't we be worried about theft?" The knight asked as they descended the steps, as they had left the room unlocked

The commander laughed.

"Theft? To even get into Dragonglass Keep one has to be a master thief. To make it all the way up the steps one has to be a sermonizer."

The knight supposed that was true...

"But what about... domestic elements."

The commander simply shook his head.

"Good sir knight. There is no one in our order, not one. That would dare to go against the wisdom of the primate. They would disgrace themselves forever."
