*Karl's POV*
I have left Sapnap alone with George in Kinoko Kingdom whilst I was going to time travel once again without a single one of them knowing, I mean I don't want them to try to stop me from doing it not to mention I can also see all the things others hadn't seen. sure lying is bad but how can I help it? they would hate me if they found out
I have arrived at a calm and isolated area filled with luscious greenery, tall dense trees surrounded me whilst the rays of sunlight still managed to peek through the leaves above me creating a beautiful scenery for any eye that would gaze upon it, I sat down in the emerald grass as I closed my eyes and start to imagine where I wished to be and what year it should be, soon enough I felt my surroundings change, the air becoming colder by the second only to return to normal a few seconds latter. I felt a smoke like texture start to envelop my being before also disappearing out of nowhere.
I opened my eyes to be faced a calm blue sea infront of me inside of the trees that used to be in my point of vison, I turned to look around to find out I was on a beach of some sorts and immediately took out one of my journals to write down where I was at his very moment but something felt different the more I spend time in this year, it felt boring and predictable nothing worth seeing and nothing worth writing about.
"ugh this is so boring.." I grumbled under my breath once away from civilization, returning into solitude. I dragged my body long the cracked cobblestone paths that were mostly likely abandoned quite some time ago until I encountered a pocket watch laying on the ground, the mechanical piece still ticking. With much curiosity flooding my mind I picked it to notice it's golden frame and tinted pink glass that encased the black time arrows, I took the opportunity to take it and put it onto a chain on my belt before finding a suitable place to take a rest, as the sunset soon became nightfall, and return to my own world.
I have found a place to sleep in and I closed my eyes and thought about returning home before drifting off into deep slumber and waking up in the present with pink and blue smoke that on occasions merged into a royal purple hue blurring my vison ever so slightly, I waved the smoke away from my face with my hand and tried to look where the smoke had emitted from only to find out that it was coming from the same clock I collected back in the place I time travelled to.
I walked around to return to Kinoko Kingdom to see in my peripheral vision L'manberg standing in all of it's glory completely free from cracks and damage's, the flag looked almost new. Now this was something I haven't seen...how I time travelled into the near past? that surely must have been the case. I took it upon myself to see the nation whilst I still had the chance before freezing in place seeing Dream...but something wasn't right with him, he wasn't wearing his usual green hoodie and tech wear trousers but instead wearing a proper, cleaned and ironed 1750 Prussian styled army uniform that was commonly used for the L'manberg representation of the nation, his face still covered, apart from mouth, by a porcelain like white smiling mask
"H-hey Dream, why are you wearing the L'manberg uniform?" I began only to be ignored by the taller male as if my words were unable to be heard by him...this was...strange...what else could surprise me here? because sure as hell Dream wasn't supposed to be wearing that uniform...
