Once upon a time, all the sand grains that humans used to measure time were stored in a magical hourglass created by the Great Masters. The hourglasses had a powerful enchantment that ensured the grains of sand flowed until the end of human life cycles. There was also a secret fish living inside the hourglass that nobody knew about.

When the hourglass was placed in the Tower of the Hourglasses, the fish was secretly placed among the sand grains. The fish began to live inside the hourglass and observe the flow of time. Despite the changes in the outside world, the fish was not affected by the flow of time inside the hourglass.

One day, the hourglass was opened and the fish was revealed. The fish observed the changing nature of the world and created a new enchantment that slowed down the flow of sand, allowing humans to live longer.

After this event, humans discovered the secret of the fish inside the Tower of the Hourglasses and began to take special care to protect it. The fish continued to protect the secret power inside the hourglass and remained a timeless entity that controlled the flow of time, remembered by all who heard the tale.
