Timekeeper
The Absol paced the vast, empty chambers, claws clicking on the cold marble floor. Tossing its head, the Absol walked into a doorway, the rotting planks of the oaken door clattering about it. The brass plate, tarnished with lack of care, was inscripted with one word: TIME. Tunelessly, in the language of creatures, it began to speak. "Time can never be turned back..." As the pokemon said that, it swung a paw at a hourglass, smashing it and sending glassy fragments skidding along the room's cold, tiled floor. "It runs but forward on its track..." An exquisitely engraved sundial, lovingly made by human hands, was shattered, the stone pieces lying forlornly around the room. "Seek not, O fools, to make Time stay..." Reaching the far wall, it gazed up at a shining scythe, scarred and battered a little, mounted on iron holders. Its voice reached a shrieking crescendo as it completed the final line, "For Time will sweep you all away!" At that conclusion, the Absol pounced upon a ticking, gleaming clock and tore at it ferociously, ripping it apart and scattering the workings every which way. The pokemon smiled and prowled out of the room. It whispered to itself, and the echoing chambers, for no one was there to listen. "I am the Timekeeper, the one who decided the fate of others! They say I am insane, but who would not be after millennias of Time has passed this realm who is the gateway between? So many clocks, so many things, so many lives that hang! Arceus himself would lose his mind in this abandoned place! The spinners, the weavers, the fetchers of thread, they are the many bright pricks of light that hurry so among the heavens, dotted in the night skies, what mortals call stars! And so I live alone, and the Timekeeper has no helper, but the Timekeeper needs none!" The Absol threw back its head and piercing laughter filled the halls of the Timekeeper's palace, who lives alone and needs no helper to reap time and track time.
AN: This was inspired by the book 'Journey To Blue Moon'. Nothing else.
