Story, little bit creepy (you may ignore this): two years ago The Aethers was something like normal family. But, accidentally The Artist - one of the greatest necromancers almost kill them. It happens if you are necromancer, and like to fuss gods. He tried repaid his mistakes and revive them. Unfortunately, theirs bodies was in fatal condition - so Artist began create new ones. Brain of Tempus Aether - husband was dead, but his body was alright, corpse of Kisse Aeather - wife totally burned and crashed, and little Pirum Aether - daughter, face was smashed and limbs cut of. So, wizard used head of wife and combined it with husband corpse, for Pirum an Tempus he has to summon some of "spare parts", from his sanctum. Tied souls with flesh by a life forces to resurrect. Still feeling kind of bad, he gave them some magic items... for example Lifeline...
Honestly The Artist was a psycho, and killed family for fun. Yes. Next gifted them superb rare artifact, which can turn back/slowdown/speed up time. And he didn't tell them about that. He thinks, is much more funnier, if the cure is right in their hands, while family traveling across the word to find any remedy. As, I said The Artist is psycho.
Unexpectedly the journey helped family, to get close to each other, to know oneself better and to understand world where their lived.
Or it too, was part of The Artist plan? ***
