Charmed

((I shall handle…your face!))

Teferi stepped around the inricate clockwork device, ignoring the weighty gaze of Sharuum, the sphinx ruler of Esper.

"I appreciate your consultation, Sir Teferi. As a master of time magic, I supposed you would be the best choice to discover the nature of this gift."

"Mhm." Teferi mummbled offhandedly. If the queen was offended, she did not show it. Teferi worked the cogs of the dias-like machine. It had been delivered to the hegemon’s chamber a few days ago as an annonymous gift. It had been thoroughly examined before being delivered to the queen, but no one could detect anyhting dangerous about the mechanisim, or indeed discern anything about its functions other than it appeared to operate on time magic. So naturally the called him.

Teferi began undoing the intracate puzzle built into the device with all his focus. It required a time mage’s appreciation of dimmensions to solve and Teferi appreciated the fine quality of the work. Still, there was a time mage, and then there was Teferi.

The mechanical gears snapped into place as the devices innerworkings were set to their correct place.

"Hah!" Teferi called out in triumph, at the same moment as a surge of energy exploded out from the device, forming a bubble of energy that filled the throne room.

Of course, the perfect trap for an Esperite is a puzzle…also apparently the perfect trap for me…dammit.

Teferi recognized the corrosive force of a time-bubble as it worked to return them to oblivion. Even as he felt his body stretching unaturally under the warping force of the spell he was working against it, turning the wheel in the opposite direction, forcing the spell to expend itself to compensate.

The device exploded from the feedback of the clashing spells, leaving Teferi coughing on the floor.

His body felt wrong, and fell the first few times he tried to rise. he finally managed to sit up as the smoke cleared and cursed vehemently when he saw himself.

"…so we’ve become children…"

"Teferi…" 

Teferi turned to look at Sharuum.

"if you say anything, time mage, you die."

Teferi mustered all of his impressive willpower…no use, he burst out laughing.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" 

Sharuum roared ferociously at him…or at least that was the intent.

"Meew!" was what actually resulted.

"You’re so cute!"
