Job Location: The Sky Tower
Job Description: Rumours have been heard of a gem that sits at the top of the Sky Tower; it cannot supposedly cannot be moved; lifted, or budged. Even by the Gods themselves. Tales say that the Gem of Time sits held up by two mighty stone griffons at the peak of the sky tower; on it's large, platform like roof. You have managed to climb the Sky Tower, and have found the rumours to be true. You note your surroundings and see that the top of the Sky Tower is gorgeous; with a ritual and mural of the sky in a mosaic on the floor. There are no edges at the peak; just flat surface; the griffons, and the clouds.
You can see all of Fiore from here. If you look off the tower's east side; you'll see the forest, and Magnolia; and even further off in the distance; you'll see Clover Lake; and the Inferno Mountains even furhter still.
If you look too the tower's left; you'll see the Sabertooth Guild Hall; nestled in the mountains you're in, far, far down below; the building nothing but a spec from way up here. However, looking straight ahead, you'll behold the beauty of Fiore's grasslands; the twin cities of Era and Crocus shining in the plains; whether it be day or night.
Too your north, you can see the Royal Palace; the home of the Politicians, nestled in the forest; and even see the gigantic beanstalk from Beanstalk Village piercing the clouds up above as you are here on the Sky Tower; and also Rose Garden, glistening in the distance like a rainbow under a constant enchantment.
Too your South, you see the Peace River; and Peace Village; nestled as a tiny spec off in the distant southern grasslands.
Although the beauty is breathtaking; you're here for one reason only. The jewel itself is said too grant one the ability too 'learn with one's master once more'; whatever the hell the rumours mean; many have tried to climb the Sky Tower and failed because of this opportunity. You however, being a Wizard; have managed to reach it's peak by scaling the massive dungeon inside.
Held up by the two Griffons----sits the Gem of Time. A clear white diamond; that fans with a golden light within every few seconds. Upon reaching up to tap a finger or hand on it; you twist into a golden glitter and are yanked inside of the gem.
(Environment of your Choosing)
There you stand; whether on mountain peak; open ocean, white lake; or open plain. With your former Mentor, and Master.
(Train well. Your Master will fight you for 24 hours at a time; with one day of rest inbetween each day of training too remember old times, smiles, and lessons. When your training is complete; the next touch from your master; whether it be a hand shake; a hug, or a pat in the shoulder; will warp you back to the Sky Tower at Dawn.)

The sun was beginning to set over the horizon as Hoshi and Sorano soared over the area. The legendary Sky Tower loomed over them, casting a dark shadow on their backs. Hoshi tilted into a steep climb, grasping onto straps on Sorano's back made for the purpose to pull her up to the top of the glamorous tower. As they broke over the top, the light of the setting sun flashed into the friends' eyes, blinding them temporarily, causing them to blink several times to get used to the light after their darkened ascent. It was a beautiful sight, and they were in the perfect place to view it.
Watching the sun slowly set as the stars began to creep into sight, they sat on the edge of the platform-like roof, dangling and kicking their legs over the edge. They said nothing, for nothing needed to be said. It was too beautiful a sight to be ruined, anyway.When the last bit of light had flickered out under the horizon, Sorano stood up, stretching as did Hoshi. Turning, they could see the legendary pair of griffon statues holding up a ginormous gem. It reflected the light of the stars twinkling all about them, shining serenely in the nighttime sky.
"So," Sorano said softly, "this is the legendary Gem of Time. The setting really is beautiful." It was true. The floor of the roof had a mosaic mural of the sky in which the griffon statues stood, and one section of it even reflected the starry sky they could see right now.
"Yeah," Hoshi replied, awestruck, "It really is amazing. But does it work like the legends say?" Could they really see Anna in the past? Did they even want to go back to those horrible, horrible times? "But, Anna-sensei's still alive! So why would we even go back in time?" Hoshi asked.
Sorano merely smiled slightly, nothing more than a lifting of the corners of her mouth, before placing her hand on it, and dissipating into golden dust that disappeared within the gem. Hoshi stared in fascinated horror, then did the same.
