@dark-ages-week day 1- Childhood | Backstory
I hc that in their early relationship Clockwork would appear as a slightly different ghost so that it was less bizzare than a full ancient of time coming by being wooed by pariah. it working is...debatable

Absolutely amazing
Infection/core (Day 2)
for @dark-ages-week organized by @pennerjones
Clockwork once wore the Ring of Rage. While he knew his beloved had reached a point of no return, making redemption impossible without drastic action, he understood Pariah had to be stopped; yet, he did not know what the Seven planned.
His core was too intertwined with his loved one's, merged as one, vibrating, and pulsating at the same rhythm. Sealing the tyrant away would be like tearing a piece out of their existence, leaving their essence broken, shattered, and never healing.
But he could not stop them in time.
The Observants had held him back. They had a mission of immediate importance. But it was a ploy, a trap, a scene of refrain, preventing him from reaching the battlefield until it was too late. Even time manipulation was worthless; Clockwork was drained from rushing, and the event solidified into never-chancing.
Pain and betrayal swirled within him, swelling, gurgling.
The realm lionized the victory, their relief a song, a prayer of gratitude, reverberating through the endlessness, promulgating the conquest of the mad monarch. Only one remained alone, forgotten, and wordless.
The heavy armour clanking stopped beside where Clockwork mourned, shedding tears no one could see. He had fallen to his knees before the sarcophagus of eternal sleep, arriving unnoticed by anyone. No one had seen his absence either, but they must have known that keeping him away was key to their success. He would have stalled them, begging for reasoning and an alternative—something they could not allow.
"They will never understand," the knight said. "They made the King a threat. A mistake they'd never admit."
Clockwork knew that. Pariah Dark was not always a menace. His reign was a desperate bid for control, a defence against the limitless, a step to protect him.
In the distance, a mass cheered, losses ignored at the moment of sweet triumph.
A hand reached out. Clockwork accepted it. Fright Knight pulled him up from the cold tiles. Beneath the helmet, the soul observed those afar, engaged in celebration.
Clockwork could not feel more distant from them.
Then, the knight opened his other palm; the Ring of Rage a beacon in the silver.
"They don't deserve it," the knight implied.
Clockwork hesitated, but he could see pain exploding. Revenge too strong, too tempting to resist.
It was their fault. It was their fault his core was cracked to bide the storm of chaos.
They took away everything.
He saw timelines—ones in which he would remain enslaved by the Observants, ones in which he would be a hermit in a faraway lair. Ones in which he would assist in reaching others' happy endings.
He was not a puppet.
The pain of betrayal was too suffocating; they knew what the two of them shared.
Clockwork pinched around the Ring, its poison tingling. He fiddled with it, then red eyes flashed with hot rage at the knight, grateful.
A timeline cleared before him, a timeline where he made them pay. And the ring burned with purpose.

Childhood/backstory (Day 1)
for @dark-ages-week organized by @pennerjones They called him Clockwork, the Master of Time—a name that no one knew where it came from. The origin was blurred. He had been around so long that even the ones with endless lives assumed he was an Always. A true ancient.
But he came to the world once, in a prison cell, his birth name fading into oblivion while his worth was immeasurable—a stark contrast that followed his entire life.
He was valuable, carrying Sight inherited through blood that was never meant to blend with humans. Mortals yearned for power; it was a truth hard to deny. Still, one could hope never to meet cruel hoarders. If they obtained dominion over power, they never let go, sealing even immense mightiness into a confined existence away from light. Time, though promised, never became free and could never return to boundless reality; her power was passed on to a lineage of concealed abomination.
His existence was a sin, yet useful leverage, unwise to perish. Better to be chained than wasted. Ability more appreciated than corrected as an unfortunate mistake.
He had never learned how to see. He had told tales of good, bad, death, and life. Some advantageous, leading to victories, while others arriving belatedly at the cost of others or later punishment.
On good days, he was praised for being dressed in a fine deep plum tunic, elegant and noble, adorned with rare golden jewels forged for such a unique individual as himself. Yet he was kept in prison, with a key to his cell owned by a merciless.
An escape—he did not see that coming—but opportunity arose one day when falling was seen but became rejected. Death could not be escaped even when someone possessed the mortal embodiment of foreseeing power. Death came for all living, high or low, ruler or downtrodden. Rank did not matter in the great scheme.
In that moment, he ran away. Past, future, present flashing in the mad cacophony, erasing everything he was before as he rushed away, running from cold, heavy bars, rattling chains and tight cuffs. He was free, for once, after long years. Freedom was new and dizzying—a miracle. Perhaps too much.
...then he saw darkness. Impenetrable. Madness. A tyrant beyond worlds.
The end, the beginning, the middle. Power, loss, love and betrayal.
A vision too much to perceive.
A destiny too strong to evade.
A bond too strong to ignore.
Intertwined, doomed, and born into.
Fate was something that could not be outrun. It was a shadow, lingering, stalking, and lurking—following until demise.
And one day, it struck: final and inescapable.
He kneeled under its weight. Crashing.
Chaos, order, growth and decay. All led by conflicting powers. Hunger and sense always in battle.
Two but one core somewhere in the endlessness chimed in a forever cry, yearning for old times, good days that awaited him, never forgotten.
Eyes intact to see, then to go blind.
There was a price he was willing to pay.
