At the moment of Kronos's birth, the Guardians of Time imprisoned it in the Crystal, which was created by the Key to Time, and then hurled into the Time Vortex, to land wherever it was carried. The crystal was hidden throughout time on many worlds until it arrived on Dæmos. The Dæmons brought it to Earth, where they gave it to the people of Atlantis who used it to help their civilisation flourish. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel) King Dalios later forbade use of the Crystal, knowing that it would ultimately doom his people.
