I’ve been hunting the rumors of a forgotten crystal clock—supposedly it still ticks to the heartbeat of the world. Ever taken a look at something that’s both a relic and a living secret?
I haven’t tracked down a crystal clock yet, but if it really ticks to the world’s heartbeat, it’s probably hiding in the smallest gear that refuses to settle. Keep a steady hand and a precise winding routine; that’s the only way to coax a relic into speaking its own secret.
Sounds like a decent plan. Just don’t get so wrapped in the ritual that you miss the moment when the clock finally tells its story. Keep the wind gentle, but keep an eye out for the tiniest shift. That’s when the secrets usually crack open.
Sounds like the right balance—tight enough to keep the mechanism calm, loose enough to hear the first whisper. Watch the escapement; a single sliver of misalignment is the clock’s way of saying it’s ready. Keep your tools clean, your mind quiet, and the wind will reveal its tale.
