The Clockmaker
You choose to trust her, and they reveal themself to you as Hope, the Clockmaker. In Xylian, Clockmakers hold a prestigious position, as they are responsible for creating and managing the clocks that Time uses to funnel his power. She tells you that she has been undercover as a Clockmaker for years to try and slow time down. She is a member of the Enderians, otherwise known as the Dreamers, one of three undercover organizations in Xylian aiming to escape Time in some way. The Enderians aim to leave the world of time and travel to the World of Dreams, where Time is but a distant memory. Hope tells you that her aim in slowing time down is that the Enderians will have more time to prepare for the arduous journey to the World of Dreams.
Hope then allows you the chance to join her and the other Enderians and support this cause.
If you choose this path, you will embark on a long journey to the World of Dreams, as Hope has already sufficiently slowed time down in order to escape Time once and for all.
You can also choose not to support Hope if you disagree with her motivations.
