(His perspective of what happened before the tryout work here)

You could blame it on that reckless rabbit for deciding to defecate at the wrong time or nature itself for dropping that branch from at that exact second, but whatever the case, Okuphakade was instantly there in Unogwaja forest, reversing time before that silly creature could be killed prematurely. Who was supposed to feed that hyena the next day if the rabbit was already dead? That hyena was supposed to be the one to kill the king of Okungahleliwe pride promptly at 4:27 pm, and he probably wouldn't get there if he was hungry! Or if a scavenger found the rabbit there and got hit by another branch while eating it? No one else was going to solve this for him, after all, it was his job to make sure no one slipped out of their timeline, and yet, here was this rabbit, accidentally missing his purpose. Let's be honest, though, Kade was just happy for any excuse to do something. He couldn't remember the last time he had done something important, and that was coming from the Time Guardian (okay, fine, maybe that was a stretch). Regardless, with that silly rabbit safe and on his way (to his death), Kade felt the all too familar sense of dejection return. He sighed, and God heard. If anyone would have been watching, they would have seen the griffen's head snap up, his eyes glazed over, and his ear pricked as if listening to something no one else could hear (voice of God, anyone?). Then, that watcher would have blinked and the griffen would have been gone, and all memory and trace of him gone. Meanwhile, Kade planted himself in a cave, almost fifteen hundred miles from where he had been an instant ago (or was it fifteen hundred years ago? No matter. He was the Time Guardian, after all.) Not only that, but his mood had completely changed, too. No longer was he dejected, but satisfied and proud again; on track to fulfill a new purpose. It was rare that God gave him the oppurtunity to send another through time (with, of course, a new carving to top it all off), and he wasn't about to let this chance go, especially with all it could lead to. The details he did receive were enough to give youth to his immortal spirit, and he knew a king appearing out of nowhere four hundred years ago wouldn't even be the most interesting part. If only God was as generous with the details of Kade's own life... Oh well, he knew God probably had to keep things interesting for Himself too, right? For the first time in a long time, Kade couldn't wait for the future rather than just looking back to the past.
