LB:LT: Timber the Scottish Wolf (and the Golden Chronicle)

So! I haven't updated you on the latest in "LB:LT", have I? I'm introducing a new character (and afterward a new item) in the series!
Yes, you again read the title right; Timber is a Scottish wolf, and the last one in existence at that. (As you might know, they were planning on reintroducing wolves to Britain after they became extinct, but that hasn't happened as far as I know...)
No one was really aware of Timber existence; those who did panicked and tried to kill him, but he escaped every time. One day, however, he awakens in a completely different environment; Time City of Evagren. After he is nearly dragged away and executed by castle guards, who have orders (mentally from Lord Shadowfang) to kill every talking beast that comes into the city, Lirin and Lilli come across him and Lilli recklessly claims that the "dog" is hers and that her just ate a fairy, explaining why he could talk.
She convinces the guards to give Timber up to her, and then they leave. After Lirin and Lilli speak with the wolf and learn where he's from, it's quite perplexing; Timber only gained the ability of speech upon arriving in this world, but how did he get here in the first place?
It is later confirmed that it was a glitch in the boundaries of time and space in the brief clash between Takuna and Lord Shadowfang, and Timber ended up in Evagren on the morning of Lirin's awakening.
Takuna also later tells Timber that it was a coincidence that he was needed in this world anyway in order to aid Lirin in his quest, so Timber agrees to stick with him, since he could find a way back in the meantime, after all.
Although later he realizes that he really doesn't want to go back, and he remains accompanying Lirin's party throughout pretty much the rest of the series.

Timber has a calm and resolute attitude, although he has a fierce and angry side when times call for it. He also has a rather refined manner of speech, not to mention a Scottish accent that still remains, of course, but because he gained the ability of speech, he can tend to talk to much and say some embarrassing things that seem normally to him since he's a wolf...
Timber is just a regular looking wolf; medium and light, tan-colored coat with brown, gray and black speckles and splotches on it, and he has gold eyes. (He looks like the photo of a wolf that's on my other blog; the snarly one. XD)
That's Timber! He's been around since the first version of "The Land of Evagren". He was in the second attempt and is now in the third attempt!


Now, for the Golden Chronicle... it's an item that's been around since the first time around also, only it was called "The Book of Time" before, but I noticed there was already "Time City" and "The Tower of Time" already, and I didn't want to get too repetitive, so I changed the name.
The Golden Chronicle is simply put by Takuna, "...a tangible manifestation of the power of Time Travel, or perhaps a very, very long history book recording every important era and event in our past and present, and it will record a new chapter every time a crucial event takes place in our timeline. It also allows one to use its power to move between these time periods."
He also added that it would not only help Lirin catch Lord Shadowfang, but it would make it much easier to find the lost blade that would defeat the beast.
The Golden Chronicle is quite an important item in this story.

In this story, Lirin had asked for Lenora's aid in the plan to stop Lord Shadowfang, although he did not want to since he doesn't like her very much at all, but he had no choice since she was the only one who was connected to the enemy's power besides him.
The plan was eventually laid out by Lirin, Lenora, and Takuna; Takuna would work with Lenora, combining both their powers to dig through time while having the ability to track Lord Shadowfang and his whereabouts. When he is located, it is up to Lenora to be transported to the time period where Lord Shadowfang is and trick him into thinking she's aiding him in his evil plots, while she's actually slipping all his information to Takuna and Lirin discreetly and giving them the upper hand instead.
And when the time comes, Lirin must be in possession of the lost blade and he must go in for the kill and defeat Lord Shadowfang once and for all!

That's the plan, at least. Who knows how well it will go for them...
Well, that's all for now! I probably won't be revealing too much more of the storyline for now, just a little when I go to introduce new characters.
