Borrowed Time Image

You have captured the attention of a time god who has collected various moments in time that have caused him to smile. You were dying, and he came to you, offering you a chance to continue on as one of his servants. He tells you that he will set you free if you can find for him an object that's valued is equal to your own. What is it that made you interested to him? Were you a prince who overthrew his tyrannical father's rule? Did you invent the wheel? Maybe you were a doctor that discovered a cure for a disease that had no cure at the time. Discuss with your DM what moment would have caused this time god to take a liking to you.
