Time Is Always With You – Episode #2: A Vision of the Eternal City

More about Time Is Always With You – Episode #2: A Vision of the Eternal City

Each night of my pilgrimage toward the Supreme Time Lord, the same vision returns.

I behold the Eternal Megalopolis: an enigmatic and magnificent metropolis, a city of gothic spires fused with futurist architecture, suspended above causality itself.

Temporal vessels glide silently through the sky, their trajectories etched in light rather than motion.

The city radiates sublime beauty, yet beneath it lies a persistent unease, as though time itself is watching.

I walk along a floating path of ancient stone, threaded with intricate mechanical wheels whose purposes defy comprehension.

As I advance, my consciousness fractures into reverie.

Holographic memories rise unbidden, fragments of a former life intertwined with omens of futures not yet authorized to exist.

Once, I was old. Fragile. Standing at the threshold of extinction. Before my induction into the Time Order, my body failed while my mind endured. Through sanctioned transference, my brain was preserved and installed within an android form of extreme sophistication. Immortality, of a kind, was granted.

At times, I mourn the loss of biological sensation, the imperfection of flesh, the intimacy of decay. Yet, I cannot deny the scope of what I have become. My capabilities extend beyond imagination, constrained only by temporal law.

My search for the Eternal City has only begun. My synthetic frame trembles with anticipation, not from fear, but from proximity to purpose. The burden of my mission is vast, resistant to language, encoded instead in obligation.

Time allows no deviation. As the chosen Cosmic Time Pilgrim, I submit to the statutes of the Time Order without appeal.

Memory is Time’s way of proving, that nothing truly collapses without leaving a trace.

TIME IS ALWAYS WITH YOU.
