Chapter 1
Welcome to the World
Summary: Clockwork always knew what would be in store for one Daniel Fenton
In the depths of the Infinite Realms, better known as the Ghost Zone, there stood a large fortress that looked oddly like a grand clock tower. Gears ranging in vast variety of shapes and sizes lined every wall and somehow, they all worked together, to do what exactly remained mysterious. Not many ghosts were seen around the area outside of the tower, for many lesser ghosts thought the one who lived there to be only a legend.
Inside the massive clock tower, it was kept extremely dark. The only real source of light was whatever was cast by the multitude of screens located on every wall. The screens were continuously shifting, throwing light and shadow all around the space. They all displayed scenes of events taking place, whether they were from the past, present, or even the future. Some displayed images of common families, some had celebrities, some showed battles from wars of both the past and future.
However, the only screen that could hold the Time Master's attention at the time, was one of a tiny, red faced baby being held in an exhausted looking mother's arms. A man stood by the woman's side looking prouder than ever, while holding in his arms a two-year-old girl who had beautiful strawberry colored hair, just like her mother.
The Time Master gazed upon that screen for some time as a small smile graced his currently aging features. Of course, if any being ever accused him of such an action he would vehemently deny it, just as he would if he were ever criticized for taking the Alliance's side. Being the Master of All Time usually meant two things, he knew everything, and he didn't, or shouldn't, have the ability to take sides in certain matters. Or at least, that's how the Observants would put it. But Clockwork was never one to follow those one-eyed dimwits' ridiculous rules.
Looking back to the screen Clockwork knew he wasn't the only ghost to know of this event. In truth, most of the Alliance knew this day was special, seeing as how most of their rebellion was built around a prophecy.
The father on the screen now had tears of joy in his eyes for his new born son. Two proud parents gave a knowing look to each other that exchanged a thousand emotions. The mother then turned to the nurse and gave the baby's name.
Clockwork's smile grew wider still as he whispered his next words with more meaning than could ever be described. He knew the child he observed had many paths written in the time stream, some of them with wonderful futures, some with nothing but a world burnt to the crisp. Clockwork, however, was hopeful. There were only ever two constants in all of time and across every alternative universe, after all. So, Clockwork knew one thing for sure would still happen, he only hoped that in the time after, all of the right moves were made, and that meant by everyone, for everyone had a role to play.
"Welcome to the world Daniel" the Master of Time said to the screen. Now he would just have to wait and see how everything played out.
