The mysterious Little Planet.

Little Planet, sometimes called "Miracle Planet", is a tiny planetoid that passes Mobius once a year.

History

Little Planet passes over Never Lake once a year for a month. The place is steeped in mystery and hosts a number of advanced urban settings that are perfectly integrated with their local environments. If there is anyone living there, they do not make themselves known. There are rumors, however, that the planet is home to either a mystical Owl spirit known as Nicholas O'Tyme or an elite order known as the Knight of Kronos. Little Planet hosts the seven hexagonal Time Stones and was a closely guarded secret of Albion and watched over by its steward, the latest being King Rob 'o the Hedge, so the threat of invaders is low.

  The Keeper of the Time Stones in Blast To The Past.

  unnamed Keeper of the Time Stones from the Sonic the Hedgehog animated series episode Blast to the Past, Part 1. In keeping with Ian Flynn's tendency to combine aspects of various Sonic media into the comics, the two time stones he guarded are counted as part of the seven originally featured in the game Sonic CD. His name is undoubtedly a pun based on the old saying "in the nick of time".
• The Keeper of the Time Stones was voiced by Tim Curry, who also voiced King Acorn.
• The riddle to solve is as follows: I run and run, but cannot flee. I am often watched but never seen. When long, I bring boredom. When short, I bring fear. What am I? The answer is Time.
