The Look

When Wain touched the gray book, he entered a strange space. There were hundreds of pages floating around him, and at the top was a huge dial. But, it was unusual.

There were always sixty divisions on the dial, as there are sixty seconds in one minute. But, there were precisely three hundred divisions on this dial. That meant that it would take the clock hand five minutes to make a circle and return to its original point.

Wain was no fool. He knew at once what was going on.

"Apparently, revenge only has five minutes. Most likely, one of those floating pages hides the Sorcerer's Soul." Mumbled Wain looking around.

There were an enormous number of pages. There were more than ten thousand of them. Wain realized that there was no way he would have had time to read or even touch every one of them in five minutes. Moreover, ten seconds of the three hundred had already passed.
