On the edge of the forestline, a small animal was scampering across the rocks with what appeared to be a 2-foot tall hourglass on it's back. The animal was a squirrel, yet it had to have supernatural strength to haul such an item. It panted as it set the item down, then glanced from side to side nervously.
"If someone sees me like this, I will be SOOO pissed." The squirrel growled in a high-pitched voice.
The squirrel hopped onto the top of the hourglass and stared at the device, its eyebrows ruffling in frustration.
"How the hell do I activate the damn thing! Is it vocally activated?" It asked itself.
The squirrel shrugged, then stated,
"Time!"
The hourglass did nothing.
"Chronos!"
Nothing.
"Pendulum! Tick-tock! Sand! River of time?!"
Still nothing.
"I suppose it wouldn't be vocally activated anyway... hmmph. Arthreonus! Any idea?" The squirrel shouted.
It's color-coordinated. The demon lord responded.
That made the demon-squirrel pause.
"You're joking. I just will it a color then?" The squirrel asked.
Yes. But be careful: You pick the wrong color, and you could be sent millions of years into the past, or into the future, or even another dimension. Arthreonus replied.
The squirrel blanched, then sighed in anxiety. He began to will the device's sands a different color...

A stomp of the ground caused Daedalus' squirrel form to jump. What stood before him was the half dragon he was trying to spy on in the hot springs.
"A little squirrel? Hmm... Why do I get the feeling I've seen you before somewhere?" Myrr asked, not really expecting a response, "No matter, why don't you just be a good little rodent and give me that hourglass?" It wouldn't be that easy, she figured, but she humored herself and tried.
(OOC: Why do I get the feeling we're gonna be romping through time because of this hourglass?)

((It would be fun, but no, sadly...))
The squirrel's tail 'poofed' and he screamed,
"NO! Not yet! I need to fix this goddamn ring of mine! You can have it when I'm done!"
You actually intend on giving it back? Arthreonus asked, surprised.
"Yes, I intend on giving it back. I've been stuck in this goddamn form for a week now, and I just want my original body back I have no other need for it than that!" He screamed piteously.
He turned back to Myrr and hissed,
"BACK OFF!"
He aimed a paw at the half-dragon as electricity spiraled into it. The squirrel flew backwards as a bolt of lightning launched forth and struck her in the chest, knocking her backwards a few dozen meters. The squirrel scurried back onto the device and stared at it.
"Just to be safe, I'll use it on something else." He muttered.
He leaned the device towards a tree, and willed the sand green. The sand changed color, and the tree rotted away quickly. The squirrel paled, then turned it back to normal. He went through several other colors before he finally reached the last color he could think of.
"Red?" He asked himself.
He started to will it red, and the tree shrank slowly in size. The squirrel shrieked in mad glee as he aimed it at himself, willing it red once more and hoping the half-dragon wouldn't interfere...

However, the experimentation of colors gave Myrr plenty of time to recover, and she fired her blaster at the squirrel's foot, hitting it dead on and disrupting its concentration.
A by-product was making the squirrel scream in the highest pitched voice Myrr had ever heard.
"F*CK! I think that broke my eardrums, wait, I can still hear me talking, so they're still intact." Myrr grimaced, rubbing her ringing ears.
"God, I hate high-pitched voices. That squirrel better not scream again, or next time I'll shoot it in the crotch!"

The squirrel hissed at her, glaring.
"I don' think so..." The squirrel stated in a strangely happy tone.
It grinned as it leaned the hourglass on itself, until it realized the thing was falling too fast. It crushed the squirrel, and a muffled 'damnit!' could be heard underneath it. Strangely enough though, the sand in the glass didn't shift; rather, it kept falling as if it were right-side up. The suirrel muttered a few things, and the glass turned a slight shade of red. The squirrel cakcled as the hourglass was thrown off, the squirrel expanding to the snapping and crunching of bones, and the squishing and re-arranging of organs. The squirrel kept changing until finally, it resumed it's true shape...
Daedalus.
The daemon-dragonkin stretched his arms and wooted joyously.
"YES! I'm back in my original body! Finally! that damn cat will stop chasing me!" He exclaimed.
He paused and glanced at Myrr as he grabbed the hourglass.
"You, however, have been quite the bitch. There's no need to shoot a fellow who's just trying to fix a problem. But, I can overlook that..." He stated, grinning sickly at the end.
Myrr found herself pinned to the tree, Daedalus's tail wrapped around her legs and his arms pinning hers. His grin deeped as he licked his chops, muttering,
"If you looked good in a bikini, I wonder what's undeneath..."
His wing-claw came up and caressed the side of her face, then ripped off a piece of her shirt, revealing skin. He chuckled darkly as he reached forward to remove another piece...
"LET HER GO!" A mechanical voice roared.
Daedalus roared in pain as something ripped into his back, spattering blood everywhere. He turned around, only to get grabbed by the face by something and thrown away into the trees, a black blurr following closely. Daedalus roared in pain again as a flash of blue energy erupted from the trees. He wouldn't be returning anytime soon...
That left Myrr missing half of her shirt, and the Hourglass Daedalus had dropped.

'He... He... He...' was the only thing that Myrr's mind could come up with for a few seconds, not daring to finish that thought, and blood had noticably drained from her face. She managed to focus enough to bring wing across to cover herself. The half dragon shakingly walked forward, bending down to pick up the hourglass and give a slight glance to it.
Though, there was only one person who would so savagely attack someone who tried to harm her in anyway: Shive.
"Thank you... Shive," she said, pretty sure he would hear her. Folding her wings around herself like a cocoon, she tore what was left of her top off under cover, before getting a replacement bra and shirt so that she was decent when she flew back.
"Sorry, I'd stay and chat, but I have a little favor to finish up. Though, when I see you again..." Her eye's glinted, showing a touch of mischiefness, "I'll be sure to thank you fully."
The half dragon spread her wings out again, taking flight and heading towards Chronos' current location, clutching the Hourglass tight enough that it wouldn't fall, yet loosely enough that her commendable strength had no chance of breaking it... assuming it could have been broken by a mortal.

As Myrr flew off, a figure emerged from the trees, spattered with Daedalus's blood. It wasn't Shive...
"She thought I... was him? I'd find that humerous any other time, but... not today." A mechanical voice commented, his voice saddening at the end.
Daedalus lay in the forest, entrails leaking out.
"Wh-what the hell was that?" He asked, blood gurgling out of his mouth.
O'Malley's Firestorm Cannon whipped around and fired several rounds into Daedalus's crotch before the droid stated,
"Touch her again, and I'll be sure to alert her mate."
He then flew off, leaving Daedalus to stew in the blood leaking from his broken crotch, and groaning in pain.
