Conrad knows the true enemy. Time. Because time changes everything.
People come and go. Empires rise and fall. Worlds end and begin anew. All because of time.
Time changes itself. It is a fragile, fickle thing, in that way, as malleable as shifting grains of sand on the shoreline. But then, it is equally an unconquerable force—an unknowable concept. It never ends, and it always consumes. Humanity exists at the mercy of time.
And yet, Conrad has to believe there is a way to defeat it. If he can’t, everything dies. And he will not allow that to happen.
