Timeless Beauty and Grandfather Clock

**Timeless Beauty and Grandfather Clock** are worshipped as the twin goddesses of time, youth, and senility. Timeless Beauty represents new beginnings, the vitality of youth, and the infinite power of potential. Grandfather Clock represents senility, a slow decline, and the eventual end of all things.

## Myth

Their myth started when Holy Lady Labya sought out to become a goddess. The half-orc saw this as her destiny after defeating the Cult of Vulveeta. She wanted to become the deity Timeless Beauty who fought against the evil Grandfather Clock. She saw herself as the patron goddess of class, beauty, and time. She converted a temple of Poseidra to her cause when she willingly gave up her heart for her friends. She not only survived the surgery but she was awake and dictating the temple priestesses on how to do her own heart transplant.

Layla's story began when most mortal stories end. She died at the bottom of the well. When Sybil Ringwell survived a fall in the same well, Layla possessed her. Eventually, Layla was exorcised and took refuge in a body constructed by SBG3. She gave up her sexhaust pipe when her friends needed a material sacrifice to summon Phaenax. Her selflessness and friendliness were enough to inspire her friends to allow her to absorb a fallen Phaenax's divinity.

A mad Labya tried to stop her but Layla possessed the cleric. In Labya's body, Layla snorted all of Phaenax's stardust and the two ascended together. Layla became Timeless Beauty while Labya became what she always dreaded - Grandfather Clock.

## Influence

As the newest gods of the Therosian Pantheon, their influence is still growing. Their worshippers spread the word of the sister goddesses as both an inspiring legend and a cautionary tale.

## Worship

Though they only have one temple dedicated to them at this point, word of their ascension is spreading. People paint clocks on well lids out of respect of Timeless Beauty. Their worshippers often pray for more time and patience. Beginning and ending events are considered crucial and classy.
