The Story Of Traveller
An x-men fan fiction
Prologue
To tell the story of Traveller we must begin at the very beginning, the beginning of time for that is truly where our journey both begins and ends. Humans, in all our vast knowledge and evolution, still have yet to discover the secret behind this amazing phenomenon that we call time.
We know that the sun rises and falls, the seasons continually change, and all the planets revolve in the same drumming rhythm over and over, but we do not know how it came to be, or how to control it. Time is the untamable beast, it will always be there, long after we have left, and it was always there long before we came to be. Yet for the first race of beings ever created by God, time has no meaning, for they know its secrets, they know its danger and its glory and because of this they are known as the Zeitwächters, Time Keepers.
Only they have the knowledge and power to travel along the time stream unaided by futuristic machinery. They have no age, as time never wears on them, and thus are forever immortal. It is these Time Keepers that keep the Great Balance throughout the galaxies. They have been called many names by humans, Fate, Destiny, Lady Luck, Angels. Although never fully appearing to humans, we can feel there presence.
Since the day of creation, the time keepers were forever held by a code to never interfere with humans, but one day the code was broken. A female time keeper by the name of Kelina fell in love with a human by the name of Vertigo. For years she watched him, growing older and older and then, when he was on his death bed, she came to him. Not able to bare the thought of losing her love, she showed herself to him and gave him the gift of the Time Keepers, in the form of a crystal pendant. Within the pendant contained all the secrets of time and while he wore it, Vertigo was able to travel the time stream and became partially immortal by it.
With his new found power, greed and hate soon took over Vertigo and he slowly started his plan to become ruler of Earth and the God of Time. He slowly convinced Kelina to travel to Earth with him, knowing that if she stayed long enough, she would slowly start to become mortal while living in Earth's time field. Still in love with Vertigo, Kelina agreed and bore a child on Earth by the name of Scorpio. Being born of an immortal mother and a father whose immortality was held within the necklace around his neck, Scorpio became the first of what is today known as "Mutants". He found he had the ability to change his shape into that of a scorpion.
Not willing to part with her mortal son, Kelina stayed on Earth and her immortality and ability to travel on the time stream slowly faded. When she was too weak to object, Vertigo left her to continue his evil plans of domination. While Kelina lay on her death bed, she pressed her hand to Scorpios head and with her last breath, transferred all the knowledge of time into him and because of his mothers love Scorpio became a Time Keeper. Being able to travel through time without the aid of a crystal, Scorpio's dad became enraged that Kelina had not given such a great gift to him and tried to kill Scorpio many times, but the rest of the Time Keepers had other plans. Scorpio was all that was left of their beloved Kelina so they protected him. As the years passed Scorpio became very lonely and decided to return to Earth and take a wife. He did this numerous times and slowly the Time Keepers genes were entered into the human race and from them, mutants where born.
Out of all the mutants in the world, only one had the ability to travel along the time stream unaided, only one had inherited the traits of the Zeitwächters, her name was Nadia, but they called her. . . Traveller.
