I'm a Time Priestess ;
I control time and space ;
Entrapping anyone who approaches 'it' ;
But one day , I was careless ..... ;
I clumsily encased myself in a 'Sphere Of Eternity' I created myself ;
And here I am ;
The place where time doesn't exist ;
No day , no night ;
No melodious songs created by the bell chimes , no rhythmic sound of a moving clockwork ;
This eerie sound of the soundless space feels like eternity .

I feel so lonesome ..... ;
With only the 'Butterfly Of Time' accompanying me , I whispered to 'it' ;
'Will I ever escape a cage I create?' ;
'Am I fated to be so , right now ?' ;
'Am I going to end my life in such a desolate space ?' ;
Then , it came to me , the answers ..... ;
The answers to all my pleas ;
'The 'Destined One' holds the key to your 'cage' , but he has yet to know his fate and destiny' ;
'Till then , you're fated to remain in your ' prison ' ' ;
'But you can never rest in peace , you will suffer , 'here' ' ;
'For as you are the 'Time' ' ;
'The Chosen one who will decide the fate of everything .....' .

Sorry , I've edited a lil' bit of this picture with Photoshop since the scanner screwed it up again . But this is how the work should look like , or at least . I'll edit it again if I ever get a better scan .

That's it , more to come later on ^^ .
