Time Doesn't Stop Me

I don't own Mass effect or any of its characters, I own only the oc's, no matter how much I want to own them….

Description : Time….time is a constant, it's the one thing every living creature is effected by, time kills, time heals and time changes us all physically and mentally, time is a concept all creatures have, some creatures time is longer than others, asari and krogen for example, others are short like the salarians, I talk of this for everyone knows that eventually there time runs out, except for me, my name is Simon Forge and this is my story.

Chapter 1 My beginning

Form what I recall of my earliest memories, is pain lots and lots of pain, strange creatures I've never seen before panicking form what I can tell then fire and more pain after which I blacked out, when I woke up I was laying flat on my back, covered in ash sitting up I was surrounded by what I would later discover to be the wreckage of a space ship naked with corpse of the creatures around me, standing up I panicked, and I ran, I ran for days on days, till I finally couldn't anymore, when I stopped I came across ape like creatures, they attack and I ran again, about 4 days later I made a home in a cave, out the reach of those creatures below and was left allow to life.

1.5 million years later

It was 10 years after I made my home that I noticed I was different from the creatures below, when they got hurt they didn't heal sometimes they died, when I got hurt it healed, instantly no damage some pain but it was dulled, determent to try and understand why I returned to the sight of my awakening only to fine it partly sunk in to the earth, I spent months digging out all I could, but all I got was some shiny rocks which I found to be metal later and cloth which I used to cover myself as it became cold, with nothing to answer my questions I returned to my cave and watched the world go by, the sun rose and set many times, and my curiosity only grew, as the lizard creatures died from a sky rock and fire, the ape like creatures survived and changed become smarter more adapted to the world around them, but I never changed, ever died and my mind only continued to wounder.

Years went by and I never changed, but everything else did the apes creatures changed till they looked like me, so I was like them, but why was I still hear, only two things survived time with me, the metal from the ship I shaped in to a dagger, and crystal, the 'humans' as they started calling themselves make towns and cities, languages and more but I never changed but I did learn, I could pick up others cultures like second nature, time was always my ally as I never aged, never died, about the time the Egyptians constructed the first pyramids I started recording my days writing journals after I finished the 10th one I realized I would need a place of my own, so I acquired enoth currency to afford a home, this was also the time i was first accused of being a demon my the church of Christianity, they tried to kill me, sent the greatest knights after me, but as I said before time was MY ally and I had used it well, it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, I had spent a lot longer mastering different weapons and fighting styles, they stood no chance, so I moved every 40 years to stay out the spot light, that was until the day I truly started getting answers.

1840, July 4, England, a town on the coast

I had been going by the Name Simon Forge for 20 years now, I lived on the coast about 10 miles from the closest town, I had just started my newest journal and was sitting outside watching the sun rise, I was a well-built male about 6'6 foot tall with long dull black hair I had in a ponytail, with sharp emerald green eyes, and a slightly long stubble beard, in all my time on the planet I had been many things, a solider, a monk, a empire, a king, a champion, a scientist, a teacher, a lover and even a father, but in all that time I had got a rough idea of what happened to me, some creature not of this planet had taken me and changed me on a level humans had no name for the closest was DNA I believe, but I sighed it would take time but more answers would come to me as the world around me changed, time…time was always a funny thing something I was determined to keep track of, putting my journal in my coat pocket I took put my pocket watch it was 5.30 am time for my walk, picking up my oak smooth walking stick I left my home and started treading, the path i have taken for 5 years now, down to a little out of the way beach I kept fishing equipment at, no one know the path but me I had planned on taking a lovely girl from the village down there tomorrow, sally a sweet red head who was to innocent for the world around her I hope she never learns how dark the world could truly be, as I made my way down the path I couldn't help but notice, the breeze pick up and a strange humming noise start, something was getting closer to me looking up i just managed to see a strange metallic vesical appear as it headed for the beach, I stood wide it was flying or crashing like the vesical I landed back on earth in so long ago, I bolted after it running down the path till I reached the corner, slowly I sneaked along the last of the path till the beach was visible below me, the metal vesical ahead, the closet thing it resembled was a ship of the sea….a sky ship then? More and more interesting, the back opened like a hatch and out stepped 10 creature I had never seen before all wearing what I assume to be armer, there built was thin and rather stream lined, their eyes and skin that or a amphibian, they started talking in a language I couldn't understand as one pointed to a another and then that one started heading towards my location holding up some kind of metal long container, I could just make out what looked like a trigger, a cross bow maybe? Or one of those guns the flint locks, quickly i hide in a out cropping in the path as the creature got closer, step by step when it was a short distance away I exited the out cropping my hands in the air, trying to seem non hostile, the creature quickly aimed it what I assume to be gun at me and started talking in to its arm, which I noticed to have a strange glowing construct around it.

"who are you? What are you?" I asked it didn't reply clearly not knowing what I was trying to say, I tried again in other languages still nothing till the creature gestured with its gun down the path, I pointed to myself then down the path towards its ship, it seemed to understand I was asking it is was telling me to get moving down the path it nodded before repeating the action and I started walking the creature behind me, till we reached the others, 3 there working around there ship it must have been damaged, it was a big as a large merchant ship if not bigger, two of the creatures stayed in front of me there guns trained, why the other 5 stood around talking to each other arguing by the looks of it, I just listened waiting like so many times before when someone spoke in a language I didn't know it started to become like words I knew, translating in my brain as I catalogued its different letters and words till I could understand it fully. " then its decided we will take this creature with us to understand these hu-mans and see if there are worth uplifting to add to salarian might" there was a couple things I got from that the first there name, the second that I was about to be taken again, I had no intention of becoming another person's toy to experiment on, slowly I reached for my walking stick turning the grip clockwise, one of the salarians noticed my change in stance and must have realized it had become aggressive because the next word he said would sadly come too late for this group of invaders. "um sir….i think he understood that" in one go all 10 salarians turned to face me as I pulled a dagger form my walking the stick the same dagger I shaped so long ago with the purple like metal, I managed to drive the dagger in to the chest of one of the salarians before all of them opened fire on me with their guns each shot hitting me with a energy like blast, they did this for a couple minutes till stopping, I fell on me back bleeding but slowly healing, the leader walked towards me slowly gun still aimed, his mistake as I jumped to me feet and slit his exposed throat, and pulled his body in front of me as a shield, grabbing the salarians gun from its still twitching hand I pushed down on the trigger and sure enoth fired the same energy back at them killing them one by one till none remained, so here I was surrounded by alien body's, covered in blood some mine, and from what I could tell a working ship, I couldn't help but smile as I know the next step in my existence was going to be a existing one.
