Crono

Marle: Crono should be asked first, being our fearless leader and all.

She giggled playfully, but Lucca agreed. They both went into a room to the side.

Gaspar: We are alone. Now, Crono. You are searching for your mother, correct? What if I told you I knew exactly where and when to find her?

Crono: .......

Gaspar: I imagine you would be quite eager to hear. But then, what if I said that even though I could tell you, I would not?

Crono: ....Why would you keep that from me?

Gaspar: Because I have a favor to ask. When I was a sage in Queen Zeal's service, I knew a young woman, and...well, I fell in love with her. I want you to retrieve her and bring her to me. Do this, and I will show you to your mother myself. However! Before you agree, I must warn you. If you get her back for me, you will be undoing a very important part of history. Twenty years from your present, a young man on the El Nido archepelego will embark on a quest to save time from being devoured by Lavos. Crono looked at him in shock Yes, i'm afraid Lavos is not dead yet. However, he will be, if this man, Serge, faces him. But if you do as I ask, Serge will never face Lavos. You see, the young woman I love is...Shala, the princess of Zeal and the......mother, you could say, of someone who will be very pivotal in Serge's life. If they do not meet, Lavos will consume time itself. This won't happen for nearly infinite millenia, and time will end whether by Lavos or simply by old age. But the question is this: Which is stronger: your love for your mother, or your hate of Lavos?
