Breaking Time

On the battered shell of Rowan's Ascendant body that had been raised on a dais of blood and darkness, surrounded by the seven Calamity Suns and a grieving Shiik, a purple dial appeared, it had a single hand that was spinning backward slowly, but then this speed unexpectedly quickened and a black and purple smoke surrounded the dial and converged, taking the form of the Eye of Time, who still wore the broken body of the Third prince.

There were no longer any phantoms of the Primordial of Time behind it, and it nearly collapsed after it emerged from Rowan's body. Before entering this body to possess it, the Eye of Time had left a seed of itself outside the body, and despite the fact that its judgment over Rowan's powers was compromised, it was still careful enough to create a backdoor even though it thought it might win a moment before.
