*You would be walking around in this strange place you happened to stumble upon. You explore the area and find a massive hourglass. You go up to get a closer look. And that is when a gentle, yet commanding voice is heard behind you*

"Please, step away from the hourglass."

*Startled, you quickly turn to see Geras. Holy shit. He walks over, placing his hand on your shoulder, then asking in a compassionate and questioning tone*

"How is that it you ended up here, young one?"
