Story

In the suburb of Angus, New South Wales, the laws of physics aren't set in stone. It's a magical place, steeped in the history of the Darug people who have called it home for over 40,000 years.

Paolo de Cupis was a Roman Catholic prelate who lived in the 16th century. He was a man of deep faith and conviction, who believed that justice and mercy should always be guided by the will of God. He was tall and wiry, with dark hair and piercing eyes.

The Clockmaker, a villain with a talent for manipulating time, had taken a keen interest in Angus. He had built a massive clock tower in the heart of the suburb, which he was using to warp the flow of time around the area. The Clockmaker had chosen Paolo as his latest experiment, kidnapping him from 1553 and bringing him to 2023.

The Clockmaker explained his plans to Paolo, describing his desire to control time itself. "I believe that time is the most powerful force in the universe," he said, his eyes glowing with an eerie blue light. "And I believe that whoever controls it holds the keys to all existence."

Paolo was horrified by The Clockmaker's plans. "This is a sin against God!" he exclaimed. "You cannot control time, and you cannot bend it to your will!"

The Clockmaker sneered at Paolo's faith. "You may believe in your God, but I believe in something far greater," he said. "And I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals."

With a wave of his hand, The Clockmaker unleashed his time manipulation powers on Paolo. He used a technique called "Chrono Distortion," which slowed down time in a localized area. Paolo struggled against the technique, feeling as though he was moving through molasses.

But even in his weakened state, Paolo refused to give up. He called upon his knowledge of Christian magick and recited a clever spell that he had learned from ancient texts. The spell was called "Divine Intervention," and it called upon the power of God to intervene in the Clockmaker's plans.

The spell worked, and The Clockmaker's plans were ruined. The flow of time in Angus was restored to its natural state, and The Clockmaker was left reeling from the backlash of his own powers.

Paolo took the opportunity to escape, using The Clockmaker's technology to travel back to 1553. As he left, he knew that he had learned an important lesson. He realized that people should put their faith above their pride, that you should be careful what you wish for, and that any obstacle can be overcome if you're clever enough.

And so, in the end, the moral of the story was clear: it's important to trust in something greater than ourselves, to be humble in the face of the unknown, and to never give up hope, even in the darkest of times.
