In a place where time melts away to nothing but numbers, there was peculiar man. This was no ordinary man, for he was once one of the most loving and considerate men in all the land. But on a day like no other, the man had suddenly found a glimmer of light to make life seem even better than before. For he had found the love of a fair woman, and she found the love of him. That had experienced the happiest days together in their worlds. After some years though, as his years became more extravagant, his maiden's days became bitter, for she believes he has become humdrum. On the most unpredictable day ever, she left the man, leaving him on the most special day ever; for he was to ask for her hand in marriage. After that, the man felt no more, and decided to close himself away from all love in the world. He had fled and wondered the lands with a scared heart. Since he did not believe in love no longer, his emotion would soon effect his appearance. For when his heart turned cold, his flesh soon began to transcend to metal. As days went on, he wondered even more from his home, leaving behind the life he had once knew. Becoming the one thing he had always feared, he had become an impassive man of iron. For with no emotion, you may never find peace, and with no peace, death may not come.
