The water from the rain Soaked his clothes, As
He Gazed around the Small And unfamiliar town. Just then a Building caught his eye.

He thought to himself, "Go there, Have some fun." But his conscience immediately corrected him. "Don't go there, You know you're forbidden."

The flashing light Welcomed him inside,
It was rare for this town to get visitors, After
The Trials were held nobody was trusted, Yet
Karl Was no visitor, He was a saviour.

Every head inside turned towards Karl. They all seemed disturbed, the music even stopped, even the people playing on the machines stopped for an abrupt moment to uncomfortably stare at him.

One stare left him starstruck, A Man with a beanie And An old looking outfit. Looking straight at him, And I'll tell you something, if
Somebody could die From being stared at,
This man would be the reason for Karl jacobs death.

"I'm sorry Everybody, But The casino is shut." He declared, His eyes wandering back to Karl.
Karl took a small step forward as soon As the
Confused Guests left.

He was Stopped at once, By a Blonde haired woman. Karl would later correct himself to More of An ash than Blonde, But All that matters was that she stopped him.

"Name?" She Simply Asked, Her black mask muffling her voice slightly.

"Karl, Karl jacobs, And May i have the pleasure?" He Requested,

"Alyssa, Its just Alyssa, Now Karl Jacobs Why
Are you-," She replied with spite in her tone.

"No worries Alyssa, Let him come here." The beanie-Wearing Male ordered.

Alyssa Looked disappointed, As if she was waiting To just kill him, As if that's what she was always told to do.

The man Walked towards him, Touching his shoulder gently. "Welcome, To my Casino. My, I haven't seen you here before, are you knew around here?" Softly asked the man, Yet a sinister nature Laced his tone.

"Well, You could Say that.." Replied an uneasy Karl, He was invited inside with a quick motion of the hand.

"Well, My name is Quackity, I own this place.
Would you like a drink? Say.. Whiskey? Beer?
Wine? Oh, Maybe a water will do?" Karl Hesitant at all of the options apart from the last.

Quackity Smiled, And looked up to Alyssa, She instantly nodded and walked out of the room.

"So, Time traveller, What brings you?" He asked as he sat down with karl.

Karl's eyes widened, "No, No.. I could never..Participate in that behaviour!" He pleaded.

Though, Quackity just carefully Grazed his hand over the Shiny, Silver watch on Karl's arm.

"Alyssa's usually nice.. Thats why i was worried, Until i Spotted that.." He muttered.

"See Karl Jacobs, I'm in a lot of trouble at the moment. And I won't rat You out to The King as long as you do what i say," He Chuckled,

Karl had to agree, It was his only option.

Quackity handed him a singular Jewel, It didn't appear, or feel, Fake at all. It was a lovely ruby red and it glistened in the dim - lit atmosphere.

"I took this a week ago, I don't want it falling into the wrong hands, I took it straight from The Crown on his naive little head.. If you keep this jewel safe, And Do not Return it to the king.. I will return the favour and keep your secret."

A Loud and Heavy knock was heard at the door. Quackity Bit his lip, "Under the table-."
But the door swung open.

"I've had knees of A time Traveller?" The Guard asked.

"Sapnap, Please..." Quackity knew he was caught.

'Sapnap' Looked over to Karl, "The kings jewel.. Quackity.." He sighed, Not wanting his Best friend to get in trouble.

"I want him gone By tomorrow, Or we could make a deal, Stranger.." The guard Suggested.

Karl was quick to Nod his head, The rain Becoming Heavier by the second.

Quackity knew exactly what sapnap was going to ask but refused the look anywhere but the floor.

Karl got up from his position and walked up to the slightly intimidating Male.

"If you give this jewel to me, And leave this place forever, I will not accept the order to execute you on behalf of time manipulation,
However, If you decided to go against my wishes.." Sapnap paused.

He bowed his head a little bit an stared into Karl's terror field eyes.

Sapnap opened his hand reluctantly, He
Didn't even want to take the jewel. Still, he took it. He stared at it, And threw it out of the window with such force that it sunk deep into the river outside.

"Now, Stranger, Where were we?"
