You couldn't help but wonder why everyone seemed to be snickering at you today. Is there something on your face? Tempus looks a little too innocent.
As you pass by after typical greeting, Tempus watches your butt carefully only to bite it and run away! Oww.
You walk by the sleeping Tempus unsuspectingly, when she sticks out one paw in front of yours. You trip and fall on your snout. Yikes!

THE MYTH OF TEMPUS
Once upon a sunset, the mere thought of a 'Goddess of Time' would be enough to send even the stoutest of hearts into a fit of giggles. The reason for this was simply because anyone could control it. Late for an important meeting? Just blink and you're there. Make a life altering mistake? Go back and fix it with a clap of your paws. No one knew how good they had it, really. That all changed one day when a cub was born.
The daughter of a tigon and a piebald king, Tempus would have been considered extremely important in any other pride. Unfortunately she was abandoned for being 'stupid'. In reality this was not the reason at all; she was just a little too michevious. A lot too michevious actually.
Abandoned from her pride and family, an angry young Tempus set out to make her former family pay. One day, she discovered a strange tree guarded by two crocodiles and a strange goddess with a hoarding problem. The goddess took pity on our young heroine and brought the home of all the deitys, Mt. Olyio. Tempus then presented her case with the head god, King Imperium. Luckily for Tempus Imperium felt sympathy for the soon to be goddess and even offered her a place on Mt. Olyio, but only if she found a suitable punishment for her abandoners. Tempus accepted.
It was too easy a challenge, really. She had thought non stop of ways to get back at her former pride members since her abandonment. So she came before Imperium once again and told him her plan: she would take away the ability to control time itself. Imperium had laughed at first, but later gave it some thought. Tempus got her way in the end, except for one thing. Imperium warned her that she must only take away her birth pride's time or else she would be punished. Tempus agreed.
She lied of course. Not only did she take away her origin pride's time control, but also the world's. Infuriated, Imperium granted her the title of 'Goddess of Time' as he had promised, but he banned her from visiting the mortals entirely. Tempus won in the end. She not only got revenge, but also became one of the most powerful deitys ever. Besides, she still sneaks away from time to time. She is, in the end, a trickster goddess after all.
