"The Sands of Time never run out...and if they do, you won't be around to see it"

Oh, how he wished that were true. It wasn't that he wanted to die, oh no. Just that he would be afraid to see the world when those grains did empty. And he would, thanks to the witch's curse.

"Ohh...Jasperl, I'm so, so sorry...I think." Emalinda had said. "I've given you the longest longevity of all...the curse of the Eternal Hourglass."
