Time

Pair III · flesh-side

Time is the element of the hour, of how long things last, and of the record of what happened. Its home is Sand, which never forgets.

Unpaired, Time is rot. Paired with Light, it's duration: the hour, how long a thing lasts, the record of what happened.

Its presence is Sand, which never forgets. Sand carries a little Light, because the right hour is read off something you can see.

Rust, poison and forgetting are all duration with nothing beside it to tell it apart. Time is a flesh-side, and it will do what it's asked.
