Nubia

The Time Collector

By VibesDigestPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Nubia was once a renowned archaeologist, driven by a desire to unlock the secrets of ancient civilizations. During an excavation, she discovered an artifact unlike any other—a mysterious hourglass imbued with the power to manipulate time. Curiosity led her to activate it, and in that moment, her life was forever changed. The hourglass fused with her, granting her the ability to control time—slowing, speeding, or freezing it at will.

As Nubia's powers grew, so did her obsession. She began to siphon years from others, extending her own life while stealing time from those around her. Her once warm demeanor turned cold and calculating, her eyes glowing with the stolen years. Clad in dark, flowing robes that shimmer with the sands of time, Nubia became a figure of fear.

Operating from a hidden lair within a swirling landscape of shifting sands and distorted clocks, Nubia plots to control time on a global scale. Her ultimate goal: to create a world where she reigns supreme, every moment under her command. But with each use of her powers, she slips further into the void between moments, risking being lost in time forever.

Nubia’s story is a cautionary tale of obsession and the dangers of wielding power beyond human comprehension. She sees herself as a guardian of time, but in reality, she is a thief, a collector of moments that were never hers to take.
