At first they han’t noticed, but with the Master,
Time functioned completely differently than before,
as if he filled it with so much substance, that nobody mesured it anymore
in the same manner, as if he was knitting
the past and the future, avoiding the present,
because he wanted the continuity of the task without pauses.
With the passing of Time they realized that their Subject
had nothing to do with any others, because even its edges
were from all sides, both inside and out.
The barbarians did not understand where they found
all that power in order to fight through time,
without realizing that they lived merely the beginning.
Each of their moves gave him more time,
It was a form of remuneration for their initiative.
They had converted the whole area of the passages
into a giant chessboard full of corners,
where the castles were the same pieces
which according to their specific mission
got combined in complex ways quite unpredictable at that.
They had created a wavefunction
which was covering all the squares simultaneously
and they jumped, one over the other.
Barbarism had forbidden them and condemned them,
but in vain, because they never stopped the task,
wherever they were located on the edges of the Subject.
The barbarians had never come across a defence
that caused them so much chronic deterioration.
And they could not adapt to the fact.
It was one of the first times, at which Humanity
implemented the temporal strategy, and so
reserved its position with pieces and pawns.
