Move… move!!!... MOVE DAMN IT.

Mark unable to make body move, he wasn’t paralyzed, but it was almost the same, the agony of waiting for centuries just to say a word, a millennium to move your hard a and an Era when taken for a stroll in a wheelchair.

Mark had been for all this time trying to understand and formulate what his teacher had left for him. If he could just sprout the Time-seed, he would gain everything he once lost. His memories, only thing that kept him going, that’s all he wanted for now because he knew there was something important in them. The time before the formation, he had no recollection but he knew that’s where the most important memories for his sense of self were. He was only human and his mind would not be able to handle the time spent within. All that he had learnt from his teacher, every eon his teacher would seal it such that his mind wouldn’t break. If he understood time, he would sprout the seed of time his teacher had left him, as he understood time more and more, it would grow into the tree of time within him but to take it further then, he had no hope, it had been million Eons and he barely was on the verge of sprouting the seed. He just needed one more Eon and he would be a child of time, as long has his death wasn’t unnatural, he would live as long as time existed.

“Hey Ms. Peterson, how is he doing?”(Kat)

“All the same, finally has some meat under the bones” (Ms. Peterson)

“So did they find out who he is?” Kat inquired.

“No, he hasn’t moved since and he is too malformed to be recognized properly, we are going to have to give him a few more months get healthy and someone should come to send his news to the embassies, the American embassy already came here half a month ago.” Ms. Peterson replied unenthusiastically. She had been taking care of this man for the last month, and it was a demotion from her last patient, she definitely wasn’t happy but a job is a job what can you do?

Kat sat down on a bench in the Garden and was surprised to see a Blond lady looking right at their group of three and coming towards them.

“Hello, I was told to come here to find the unidentified Patient.” The lady asked exhausted as if she hadn’t done anything else and just rushed to ask that question.

“Hello, I’m Kate and this is the patient you’re talking about.”

“Excuse me then”

Paying Kate no further mind, the lady went to check the patient

“umm I don’t think you should-” Kat warned

“I already asked” The lady quipped. She pulled up the sleeves to check his shoulders and there was a very old tattoo that was very fade, barely visible but the Lady visibly shook as soon as she saw it. She looked him in the face and the moment he caught a sight of her, his body shook and went limp. “Mark, it’s really you.”

Mark was shaken, he knew this lady and she was very important to him, he knew but he didn’t know how.

WHO IS SHE? WHO IS IT? REMEMBER REMEMBER REMEMBER REMEMEBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Mark)

He was struggling, he was pushing his somewhat evolved mind to the limit trying to remember her and finally he felt like he was making progress, he was at the cusp of it all. He was just about to remember, he just had to push his brain to the limit, overwork his brain’s security so he could remember. Then it happened, he remembered, but what pushed him wasn’t only her, it was something his teacher had told him before the last parting. “Remember, time never bends to the will of anyone, you can only bend yourself for time.” He had truly accepted that he could not change the flow of time, he could only change himself and change the way he interacted with time so he could get the results he wanted from time. He was willing to do anything to remember her, and this is what gave him what he needed, submission to time, complete submission that he would not be over time and time would always rule over him.

“Anna” The only thing he could think of as he broke out of the cage of time. He had finally completed the first part, he seed had sprouted, he had remembered the time before the formation but with it he also gained eternity, he could also become someone of more power but how long would that take? He had taken a million eons for the first part alone, thus he would think of it no more, he could finally truly return to his body, and he could control his perception of time. He could accelerate it or decelerate his perception as he wished but what more he could do with the sprout, he would have to wait, observe, analyses then make conclusions but for now all he cared about was her. “I’m so happy to see you again, how long have I been gone?” He asked with a raspy voice. He wanted to do more than just tell her, he wanted to get up and hug her and show her how much he missed her, he had missed her for eons but alas his body was too weak.

At the same time, the nurse went off fast to report the incident to the Doctor and Kat just stood their awkwardly.

Anna slumped down and hugged Mark cried on his chest while whimpering, “Oh mark, I looked for you in the tomb for so long, we all did at first, the others lost hope of finding anything but I at least wanted to find your body, I thought you were dead Mark, I looked for you for 3 years and I settled down in this city and now 5 years have passed since you’ve been gone”

He wanted to hold her and tell her that it was going to be ok but he was still too weak and he was just too agonized with how much pain she had been in, how could he have even forgotten her for a second, she was everything to him.

Thus Mark made a decision, with the new powers he had, he would do everything he could to make her happy, it had been too long, and he knew that their old enemies wouldn’t have left her alone after he was gone, he was definitely going to make this woman in front of him happy with all he had.
