Henry was pacing back and forth in the waiting room. His anxiety were gnawing at his insides. It had been a long and arduous journey to get to this point and now he was so close to achieving his goals. But the uncertainty of Mr. Thompson's condition weighing heavily on him.

He turned around as he saw the doctor emerged from the room and Henry's heart skipped a beat. "Henry Constantine, I have a good news for you. Mr. Thompson's condition is stable but he did suffer from frost bites and he will need some time to recover I assure you, he will be fine." The doctor informed.

Henry was relieved and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief," Thank goodness. I was so worried."

The doctor nodded understandingly," It's natural to be concerned, Mr. Thompson is lucky to have someone like you looking out for him."

When the doctor left him, Nova's voice broke through his thoughts. "Henry, now that you have successfully obtained the herbal you needed. We can now finally go back to the year

    After a month of long recovery, Mr. Reginald Thompson was finally discharged from the hospital. While Henry was behind the controls of his flying car. "Henry, these flying machines are creations of modern engineering but even they are not immune to the laws of physics." Mr. Thompson cautioned. Henry's fingers tightened around the steering wheel as he navigated the crowded airspace. His heart pounded in his chest, he had learned the basics of controlling a flying car weeks earlier but this was his first time flying solo. "What if I'm still not prepared?" Henry worried. "Don't worry, just focus on what's ahead of you." Mr. Thompson reassured. Henry nodded as his eyes fixed on the holographic display that projected the route before him. As he sped through the city streets, Henry couldn't shake the feeling that they were flying a little too close to the towering skyscrapers. "Umm, Mr. Thompson. I think we might be a bit," Henry said hesitantly. Before he could finish his sentence, t

    "I need to recover that blueprint, Mr. Granger owns it." Henry said to Mr. Thompson as they were eating at the table. "You should, but it's a dangerous task. Wolf has become ruthless and unpredictable since he stole the blueprint. He will not hesitate to harm anyone who gets in his way." Mr. Thompson said. "I know, but we can't afford to let him have that power. Time is of the essence." Henry replied. Mr. Thompson hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly, "I still have some access as an engineer of the Chronos Weavers so I might be able to use my knowledge to gain an advantage over Mr. Wolf." he said. "But how?" Henry raised an eyebrow."Mr. Wolf relies heavily on my inventions. He knows he can't continue his works without my expertise. I believe he will reach out to me eventually." Mr. Thompson replied. "That's a dangerous gamble, Mr. Wolf shot you in the foot. He's capable of killing a person," Henry warned. "I know but it's the only way we can get close enough to recover

    "Mr. Thompson, I've been contemplating with Mr. Granger's plan. It's truly a daring one, to say the least. But do you believe it has a chance of success?" Henry asked. Mr. Thompson leaned back in his chair, as he contemplated, "I guess it might work out if Mr. Wolf is there but if he's no longer there at his laboratory. He might relocate somewhere to evade detection." he said. "You have a point. I have considered this possibility and have devised strategy to address it." Henry replied. "Okay, share it." Mr. Thompson was intrigued Henry took a deep breath, "Umm, I'll try to infiltrate the Chronos Weavers laboratory. You see, my stealth skills are unmatched and I am confident I can gain access without alerting their security systems." Henry noticed Mr. Thompson shaking his head, "No, you were almost killed by him. We don't know he put traps inside.""I understand the risks but I am willing to take them. I'm the one who stole the blueprint and let Mr. Wolf have it. Mr. Granger said

    Inside the Chronos Weavers laboratory, the fierce battle between Henry and Mr. Wolf had continued. "You cannot defeat me, I have harnessed the secrets of time itself and I will use them to alter the destiny of humanity." Mr. Wolf hissed. Henry was undeterred as he activated his watch. "I won't let you destroy the world, even I'm not the guardian of time. I will protect it from your wicked schemes." Henry dictated.Mr. Wolf lunged at Henry using a blade and Henry dodged and weaved through Mr. Wolf's relentless attack. While his watch allowed him to slow down time to give him the edge but Mr. Wolf can fight against the time bending of the system. "You are a fool to stand against me!" Mr. Wolf sneered. "I am the master of time and I will erase you from existence!" Henry lunged forward with his blade that pierced through the air with deadly precision. Mr. Wolf deflected his blade with a swipe of his hand and it sended it across the room. "You cannot defeat me, I am immortal." Mr. Wolf

    "You made a mistake, Henry. You revealed your true identity to Mr. Thompson. That was not part of the plan." Nova dictated.Henry's face fell as he knew it was forbidden, he was too comfortable and easily trust people and it will cost him. "I know, I got carried away and I didn't think through." Henry muttered. "It's not just that, Henry. You're now compromised. Your mission in year 3000 is at risk. You need to return to your own time, immediately." Nova continued. Henry's eyes snapped back to Nova's holographic form, "I can't leave yet, Nova. I need one more day. Just one more day to talk to Mr. Thompson to figure some things out." Nova's expression turned skeptical, "What's so important that you need to stay, Henry?" "You knew it. I need to know how the Quantum reverie watch ended up in year 2024, to understand the mysteries of time. How it was possible for the watch to time travel through the timestream. And I need to help Mr. Thompson understand how he has a son in 2024, when

    The sun had set over the Ravenstone mansion and Henry sat comfortably at the mansion's balcony. He was surrounded by his friends, Tristan Morris, Butler Mr. Howard and Lydia. They enjoyed some delightful dinner and the aroma of roasted meats, fresh herbs wafter through the air that tantalize their senses. Henry had been away for a while and he couldn't help but express his gratitude to Mr. Howard for his effort to serve food, "I've terribly missed your cooking, Mr. Howard. This is absolutely exquisite." Henry exclaimed. Mr. Howard smiled and replied, "Thank you, Henry. I've been experimenting with new recipes during your abscene." he replied."Speaking of which, Henry. I've been meaning to ask you something. When you traveled to year 3000, who was the person who accompanied you?" Tristan asked. Henry's eyes sparkled as he recalled the incredible adventure, "You won't believe me if I tell you that it was Reginald Thompson, and he was an amazing engineer." The table fell silent with

    "Mr. Wolf was part of the shadow syndicate? How did he became friends with Mr. Thompson?" Tristan was curious. "Yes, he is part of that organization but then I only saw him being the scientist of the Chronos Weavers but he is a cunning man. He deceived and manipulated me into believing he was the true creator of the Quantum Reverie watch blueprint. He convinced me that another scientist Mr. Granger of the Chronarium had stolen the design for him. And I foolishly believed him and stole the blueprint from Mr. Granger." Henry explained and his eyes darkened. Lydia's eyes widened in shock,"You stole it? How could you do that?" "I know it's very wrong but I was blinded by him, he played on my innocence. What I didn't know was that Mr. Wolf had an ulterior motive, that he wanted to use the Quantum Reverie to further his own interests to manipulate time and control the flow of history." Henry said."I tried to get the blueprint from Mr. Granger but I didn't know Mr. Wolf had other plans. H

Mr. Howard greeted. "Did you have a good sleep?" "Good morning, Mr. Howard, I did have a good sleep but I have to say that I feel a bit restless today." "Hmm, is it about your wife?"

    Henry Constantine stood in the living room, his eyes fixed on the man who was his father, but didn't recognize him. Clifford Constantine, a young man in his early thirties, with a confused expression on his face, looked back at Henry."Who are you?" Clifford asked, his voice firm but laced with a hint of uncertainty.Henry took a deep breath, trying to composed himself. He had traveled back in time to 2006, a year that was etched in his memory as a pivotal moment in his father's life. He had to be careful, very careful, if he wanted to change the course of events that led to his father's demise."I'm... Henry," he said, trying to sound as normal as possible.Clifford's eyes narrowed. "I don't know you. What are you doing in my house?"Henry's heart raced as he struggled to find the right words.

He raised his hand to knock, but before he could, the door swung open, and a young Clifford stood before him."Yes?" Clifford asked, eyeing Henry warily.Henry's heart skipped a beat. This was his father, but not the frail, old man he had grown up with.

Clifford's expression turned stern, "Lost your temper? Henry, you almost hurt my friend. What's going on with you?" Henry's eyes snapped back up, "I said I don't know. Just drop it." "Okay, I know you're going through a tough time, kid. But you can't lash out at others like that. You have to learn to control your emotions." Clifford advised. Henry's defiance faltered, "I'm sorry, I was really out of my mind."Clifford's expression turned sympathetic, "It's alright. We all make mistakes but you have to promise me one thing, you can't hurt other people like that. You have to learn to deal with your emotions in a healthy way."

    Henry's eyes opened and he was greeted by a worried face of man who has familiar features. But yet it was unfamiliar at the same time. Henry's mind was fogy and he tried to remember what had happened and he remembered he fainted. "Thank goodness, you're awake! how are you feeling?" the man's eyes lit up with relief as he helped Henry sit up. Henry's gaze locked onto the man's face,trying to place him. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm the one who found you unconscious in the middle of the town square and your lucky I was passing by. By the way what's your name, boy? the man replied. Henry's mind was still racing as he looked around and tried to get his bearing. Where was his friend, Tristan Morris? He was the last person he remembered seeing. "Tristan Morris, have you seen him?" Henry mumbled. The man's expression turned puzzled, "I don't know anyone by that name. You're in the town square and you fainted." Henry's gaze snapped back to the man, "Town Square? but I was in ravenstone

    "George. I admit that Im guilty of stealing your identity but there's a lot to explain and I hope you'll hear me out." Henry said.Tristan intervened, "George? Let's hear him out. We've come a long way to get this point. Let's not rush to judgment." George's expression softened slightly but his anger still simmered just below the surface, "Fine. Explain yourself. But I'm not going to tolerate any lies or deceit. You just brainwashed my cousins brain." he dissed. Henry nodded, "It's a long story, but I'll try to keep the brief. So it all started because off this watch. Or should I call the Quantum Reverie watch, this is an extraordinary device that allows me to switch identities with only one persona. It's a tool I've been using to correct some wrongs in my past." he began. "And I have chose your identity because we share a similar fate. We both have families that were wronged in some way.

"Come one, I've acceseed this computer countless times before but why won't it work now?" Henry muttered. Tristan watched Henry tries to attempt, "When did the watch starting to malfunction? I'm just curious of what's going on?" Henry's eyes dropped to the pocket watch dangling from his waistcoat, "I'm afraid so, Tristan. I've been having some trouble with it lately. It's been getting harder to switch personas." "That's not good, Henry. We badly need to get into this computer if we're going to find any clues about their disappearance." Tristan said. Henry's gaze snapped back to the computer screen. "I'll try again and again. I have to get in." Tristan placed a hand on Henry's shoulder. "Let me try, then. Sometimes a fresh perspective can work wonders." Henry sighed and stepped aside to let Tristan take over. Tristan's fingers

    The stormy night had turned the deserted road into a battlefield. Henry and Tristan were fighting for their lives against the shadow syndicate hunters. With the flashes of gunfire, the darkness was illuminated as the sound of thunder was drowned out by the constant exchange of bullets. Tristan continued to maneuvered the car with precision, he took sharp turns and dodge the bullets while Henry was above the din of the battle. "I'm trying, Henry!" Tristan shouted, his knuckles turning white as he gripped on the steering wheel. The syndicate's numbers seemed endless and Henry's bullets were running low. He reached for a spare but his pocket was empty. "Tris, I'm out of ammo," Henry said. Tristan's eyes darted to the rear view mirror where he saw the syndicate's vehicles closing in. "Oh no. I'm out of bullets too. Our only option is to get out of here." he exclaimed. Henry's hand instinctively went to his wrist, where his Quantum Reverie watch glowed with a soft blue light. He act

    "I'm not sure I need your help." Henry said. "You're not exactly in a position to turn down assistance, Henry. We've heard about the capabilities of your watch. We are willing to help you protect it and yourself." Henry's eyes flickered toward Tristan, who raised an eyebrow in warning. "Henry, they may be trustworthy but be cautious, but don't let them take the watch. Try to befriend them and use them as a backup when the shadow syndicate attacks." Henry's eyes refocused on the bounty hunters and he forced a hesitant smile, "I appreciate your offer. But can I ask, what's in it for you?" Other bounty hunter shrugged, "We're not in it for the money, Henry. We're in it for the thrill of the hunt. And taking down the shadow syndicate would be a feather in our caps." Tristan's eyes narrowed, his confusion evident. "Henry, what are you doing?" he whispered. Henry's response was a subtle shrug as he engaged the bounty hunters in conversation.

"What happened?" Mr. Howard eyes darting between the three of them. "I apologize for not informing you and this unexpected arrival. We've had quite an eventful day. And I'll explain." Henry said. Tristan standing beside Henry, scratching his nape, "We really had a bit of a situation on our hands." he said.As they entered the mansion, Henry began to share what happened, "We found Lydia at the old abandoned house which is my house located on the outskirts of town. She was on the floor, unconscius and we immediately take her to the hospital." Tristan picked up where Henry left off, "The doctors diagnosed her with memory loss, Mr. Howard. She doesn't remember anything, not even her own name." Mr. Howard's eyes grew wide. "That's terrible! And why was she discharged this early?" Henry's expression darke
