It was then I became the Death’s Time keeper.”

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Felt like flying through the clouds dreaming of all the good things life has to offer and then you start falling into the unknown. You just helplessly try to flap your hands like a bird, the human body's defenses take over the head and heart in an effort to save itself from extinction that's how we are made the natural phenomenon of survival fighting death to the last breath. Similar feelings evolved while I was in bed but here, I was fighting the morning alarm to somehow just stop. With my head locked under the spell of the pillow, I sent my fierce hand warrior to kill the alarm dragon. The trick was to go for its head without dropping it off. After a few attempts I succeeded and finally peace was restored so my head unlocked itself from the spell of the pillow. Today was my tenth birthday; I woke up rubbing my eyes trying to fight my way back into the world. I rushed towards my living room only to find out it as dead as the graveyard. Thought it would be filled with gifts and surprise visit from my step grandparents. Was not meant to be, dragging myself back to my bed I did a reality check, who am I? I am Mark Timer. Where am I? I am at an orphanage in the town of Blackville. Where are my parents? Don’t know, it was told to me once that I was found crying on the graveyard’s door on the darkest of nights with no one to take care of me. Passersby thought I was the evil himself. I could have died there that night if it wasn’t for the local priest who took me into his hands and raised me to the skies, which could have at that very moment fallen upon and destroyed all mankind. Lightning thundered its way through the thick blanket of evil black skies, unleashing its fury on earth. He then left me on the doors of this orphanage where an old couple adopted me to stay at the orphanage and took care of the money required for my stay. Just a week later the priest passed away while returning from the church,
