The ghost in cog city ( complete)

Ch.1

Minutemen filed out into the street with light cannons holstered on their backs. My name is Rudy cypher , I am a scientist at the cog college just a few blocks from where I live. It's been ages since I wrote a journal entry, but today something not ordinary was happening and I figured I'd record it. I am apart of a race elite to others in the universe I am a tempus ... tempus are immortal creatures that live in order to structure .... create , delete , and restore balances to the river of time . The river of time is a constantly flowing steam of water connecting our dimension to others but on a time based track no physical or spiritual connections . We ran what all of time was for creatures other than the tempus . Other creatures lived through time , aging , dying but time lived through us it pumped in our veins . Now my place of residence , I live in time city

A lot of human creatures would say this place looks like their well known New York City . Time city is kind of like that but the sky is either black or grey considering we're floating in outer space . Between buildings and bridges there are large cogs spinning that keep cog city spinning

Cog city is a large ring of cogs that surround the outside of time city a great distance stands between the two cities. The large cogs in cog city keeps the water wheel in the sky turning and this water wheel cycled time forward in the river of time

What's funny is ....no tempus living except for onyx has seen the river of time ...he is the father of time so we never doubt his words.

I closed my journal and headed down from my clock tower to the street where all the minutemen stood. The minutemen were our military soldiers , no matter what branch of the military you were , stitcher, cog , or pendulum you were a minuteman.

They dressed in white puffy coats with big goggles on their heads that matched with their white jeans and white boots.

"RUDY ! AYE RUDY !" I heard a strong voice say from the front of the crowd of soldiers . It was my step brother Arron , he was short , around the height of 5'4 with shaggy blonde hair and green eyes all though I was pale with brown hair and brown eyes Arron was tan with green eyes. There's a long story behind the difference in our looks but I'd tell that later.

"What's going on ?" I asked as I straightened my tie and slung my brown jacket over my shoulder. "There's this slight disturbance near the cogs " Arron said as he adjusted his goggles

Arron was the leader of the foot troops meant for your basic fighting
"What kinds of disturbances there's never in our trillions of years of living Been a disturbance in the cogs " i stated with curiosity. "That's why were so concerned ... I'm going out there to check this out " Arron said . "Just you by yourself ?" I asked "there's multiple tears and rips in times fabric by the outside of the cogs no big deal  so I can return and be back safely " Arron winked

"Take a few stitchers and minutemen with you just incase you run into time wrathes " I told Arron. Arron smiled at me "I see you're worried but Rudy ...I'll be fine I'm not going to fight the universe I'm just going to collect information about the disturbance and report it back to your lab " Arron said as he put his goggles on

He stepped to a center where multiple cogs spun this was our transportation between the two cities. There is a pressure Seal between  the cities to kill or crush any none time like creatures that try to enter the city . That would be impossible though for a none tempus like creature to get into the city .

Arron step up to the platform and turn around to all his soldiers and the civilians and smiled and gave a salute and walked into the warper. Arron was scrappy and always full of energy he was never afraid of a rough situation ...he was a great little brother . Unlike him I didn't like fighting and danger I like being safe and studying

All I could hope while Arron was out in the deep twilight of time he'd remain safe ...
