Chapter 1 - Being born of time

"I have been thinking about it for a while now."

"So think again..." *Sigh*

"My body has been deteorating for years...for me, this is the best time."

"But what if you fail? It's power of time #*#*#*#, if it doesn't work out, it's all over...for you, for us, for these people calling you their lord...think again my friend." *Sigh*

"We have had our time *#*#*#, we have lost our brothers, our families, and what did we make our of it?...we know nothing..."

"Exactly #*#*#*#." "That's why we need to be here till the end, we need to look after these people, without us..." *Sigh* " they are not the weilders of shard, you #*#*#*#, you have the shard of time, you need to think this through. "

"This world has been plagued old friend and I am tired of this endless pursuit of deaths, I don't even know if I can sustain this body another year, so, atleast I can try no" the man with silver eyes smiled at the old man.

"We came to exterminate them, you remember right?"

"Yes I do."

"You'll end up this world in an even more chaotic mess #*#*#*#."

"Had the nobility been accomodating of all humans as their kins why would I have even thought of this, if I can't make the nobles humane, then isn't it better to make everyone have the power of nobility?"

He spoke with his silvery eyes gazing into the depths of sky.

"It's a gamble, a big one. Have you thought about the downside? What if..."

"There is no what if, there is no question, my body has been rotten by this shard, I asked too much of it and it took too much from me. If we go for a fight I might even fall before striking..." *sigh* " You have to understand, our fight is against the weilders, the lands of beyond won't entertain us any longer, we are no longer a threat *#*#*#, we have lost our brethrens, we have lost them all *#*#*#, we lost them all."

"You will be forgotten *#*#*#*"

The silver eyes gazed at the tired eyes of the old man, with a smile on face *#*#*#*# said "Old friend" a chuckle escaping his mouth he continued "Is this the reason you want me to carry on? A non atherain who nearly usurped the nobility?"

"You have, no we all have sacrificed everything we had, but it's you who took us to the lands of beyond, it's you who struck fear in their hearts, it's you who is our lord, if you disapper, forget disappearing...you will be vanquished in time, then what of us? Are we just grains of sand? Not even able to leave a footprint in these annals of time?"

"It is for our lost ones that I intend to do this, it is for our future ones that I am happy to be forgotten, it is for what we have been doing, what we sacrificed for, that I want to be the final sacrifice..." *Sigh* "We have lost too much, you and I know what power brings, so if some with power call themselves nobles then let every single one weild power, I was unable to bring the nobles down but I can atleast make everyone powerful enough."

"What guarantee???what if.."

"There are no what if's, maybe hundreds of years down the line I won't be remembered but what I do now will make our dreams usher" he stood up and gave a side glance to the old man he called his friend. "It's time *#*#*#, I should begin now "

" Will I forget you right away?"

He smiled and said " I never existed. "

*Sigh* "wait for a while."

The old man went towards a tent nearby and brought out an abysmal Black rock. Rubbing it with his fingers he looked at the silver eyed "this is infused with aether, last one we had. I will infuse my shard into it to make it strong enough to last eons."

"You will die if you take out the shard old friend" he sighed with a smile.

" When my lord dies, I as a servant must follow." The old man smiled at the silver eyed "after I infuse it with my shard, you can start *#*#*#*#, out of everyone I can't live a second without remembering you"

"Why are you doing this *#*#*#?" A look of helplessness flashed in his eyes

"So that this world remebers you" and so he started to inscribe the black rock

"Amongst the crowd of people he lay

Still as frozen time.

Amongst the vehemence of nature he lay

Still as frozen time.

Amongst the inception of beings he lay

Still as frozen time.

Amongst the stillness of time he lay

The being born of time. "

Seeing the writings the silver eyed gave out a light chuckle " they will think I was some time guardian or time lord *#*#*#"

"Aren't you?" The old man smiled.

"Now let me immortalise this." He closed his eyes with a hand to his heart and after a few seconds blood started to ooze out from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth...a cracking pattern started to appear at his chest but in his hand he held a shard, a shining purple coloured shard.

"This will be my end my lord. May our dreams come true" he smiled at the silver eyed and touched the black rock with his purple shard, the shard burst into grains and ingrained itself in the rock...sighing with relief the old man took a last glance at his friend, his lord and fell down with a faint smile.

The silver eyed held the old man and sighed out of tiredness, closing the eyes he laid him down on the ground.

"None of our sacrifices will go into vain, what a few are proud of today, our childrens will have the chance to hold similar powers," he glanced at his sleeping friend and closed his eyes.

Time stopped for a moment and he started to turn illusary, after a couple of seconds only the eyes remained which started disintegrating. The being born of time had died and with him disintegarted the shard of time.
