Known in old clockmaker legends as The Key of the Thirteenth Hour, this strange winged key was said to unlock doors that should not exist. Forged from dark brass and marked with a tiny clock face frozen between moments, it belonged to an order of messengers who traveled through hidden passages in time itself. The wings were not decoration — according to myth, the key could “fly” back to its owner if stolen. Its bearer could open forgotten vaults, sealed libraries, or doors lost to history, but only during the silent minute between one hour and the next. One tale claims the final keeper vanished while attempting to unlock a gate beneath an abandoned cathedral. The door was found open, but the keeper was never seen again. Since then, collectors whisper that the key grows slightly warm near old clocks or places where time feels… wrong. Some believe it is merely a trinket. Others refuse to keep it near their bedside after midnight.
