A massive behemoth stood motionless, his eyes, the beautiful elderly color of rusted copper, blinked now and again. He acknowledged nothing around him, intently staring upon that which was not there. His pupils traveled steadily across his eyes, as if it were a planet eclipsing a sun, and when it reached the end, just as slowly crept back across. The creature was beautiful, though not dazzling. He was dull, though not in the way you would think. It's beauty was in it's subtlety. It's scales did not gleam bright gold as they did when he was young, though to be fair he still is young, at the same time of being old. Instead, the scales were a dull flecked bronze. He had the beauty of an ancient gnarled tree.
His pupil ran across his eyeball once more, scanning the time that was, looking for flaws that could bring them to an unwanted alternate future, then suddenly darted back to a somewhat forward position, allowing him to see properly. With a silent satisfaction, he turned towards the mouth of the cave, and lifted his massive claws one after another, slowly treading towards the mouth of this particular cavern. As they moved, the light, there without any source to provide it, reflected off of his magnificent jet black talons. Each step should have caused a massive echo throughout the caves, but was muffled by the sand that stretched infinitely throughout the caverns. As he stepped forth from the cavern, he came upon a cliff. Off of the cliff was a tunnel, looking much like the one he had occupied previously, only larger. He spread his massive wings, and leaped from the cliff. With a single flap, he caught himself and soared silently through the caverns and caves. Through these caves, he had become a master of flying in closed areas, only bested by his adamantium clad kin of the depths. He has become corrupt, he is being corrupted, he was corrupt, and he will be corrupt. It was all the same to the massive winged being.
The sands of time had swallowed many artifacts from the timeline, where they rested here and now. Any other would seem them in a single form, however the great being of bronze scales saw them in all their aspects at a single time. He saw building, destruction, burning, marring, rebuilding, all on the same structure. He marveled at these magnificent achievements the mortal races had accomplished as he flew over them, silent as possible.
He came down upon his chamber. It was no different from any other, but it was void of all artifacts. The sand was the same color, and it was high and wide enough to give him sufficent space to do as he pleased, being as large as he was. He walked in, then stretched his wings as wide as he could. He folded them once more, and lay down as he curled around his own body to sleep. He would not dream, that was the kingdom of another being such as he, though of magnificent bright green scales and not as much size. He was about to drift off, when suddenly a monstrous voice echoed through his mind, hoarse like a whisper. It said one blunt sentence, with no emotion. "
You will die.
"
The timeless one's eyes shot open, and a shiver ran up his body, he arched his back, feeling as if he might be attacked. He was suddenly jolted into the single vision he could not see past. The mortal races of Azeroth stood around him, battered and broken, though still alive. Their weapons were covered in fresh blood drying. He would look around, and notice his scales littering the floor. There was pools of blood everywhere. His vision slowly dimmed, until it faded to nothing, as he entered the void. Those three words formed the most fear inspiring sentence he could hear.

I'm sensing a story about the Infinite Dragonflight...
Seems good so far.
And I liked how you wrote Nozdormu's impressions of Deathwing in the end of Paragraph 2. That's pretty much how he views the world.

Even Deathwing will pass into time... even he will eventually be part... of my collection...
"
One of my favorite quotes ever.

Yep, I hit the nail on the head.
Well it has to do with Nozdormu's death anyway. And the consensus amongst most people here is that he creates the Infinite to stop his death.
That's my 2 gold.

That's hardly two gold. I'd put it at about 1.5 copper.

I swear I can't think that abstract >.<, and I'm serious about this one your attention to detail far surpasses my own. By a lot.
It's too much. I'm writing the third right now, and I feel like I've set the bar too high. I've already described everything in the Caverns of Time... It's a pretty bland place. I feel I would either have to drop it altogether or be way to repetitive. Not to mention takes too long.
