I thought, considering my screen name, that it was expected that I write some Doctor Who stuff. I have done a lot of research into Doctor Who mythology. So for those of you who appreciate the T.V. show...
Dedicated to David Tennant-the best Doctor
I strode through the orange grass listening to the familiar sounds of my home planet. Galifrey was beautiful in the morning. I gazed up at the yellow sky, the scarlet sun burned brightly and reflected of the deep blue leaves of the trees. A shadow fell over me and I turned to gaze at the familiar sight of the Palace of the Timelords, set to rotate with revolution of the planet. This was my planet. Literally. The Timelords, including myself, had formed it out of the dust of the universe ten years ago. Before time. A small group of us, called the Disciples of Light, had created Galifrey, and formed the laws that governed Space, Time, and Matter. We were the masters of all, fearing none, the Timelords.
Someone called my name, awakening me from my brief remembrance. I turned to see the messenger from the Palace bounding towards me.
"The Council of Light requests your presence," he said saluting me as he stooped at me feet.
Of course they do I thought to myself.
"Tell them that I am occupied with more important business at the moment," I said turning.
"But my Lord, Uriel specifically requested your presence."
I sighed, Uriel, the Lord of the Disciples of Light, was the only one with authority to command me.
"All right. You may inform the Council that their request shall be met," I said as a headed towards the Palace.
"Yes my lord," the messenger dipped his head and disappeared, shimmering into golden dust.
The large, golden doors slid silently open as I entered the Palace of the Timelords. All conversation stopped as I strode through the circular room and took my place at Uriel's side.
"You summoned me my Lord?" I asked, surveying the room-full of gathered Timelords. No one met my gaze.
"Yes. It seems that the Freil have reported a breach in Time," Uriel said turning to face me.
I wondered why I had been summoned for such a trivial matter. Breaches in the fabric of Time were not uncommon. The Freil, the large, planet-destroying creatures we had created to patrol Time, were always sending in reports.
"Has the Time Barrier been repaired?" I asked, meeting Uriel's gaze.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Uriel shook his head. "The Beast has escaped."
The Beast. When we had created the elements of Time, Space, Matter and Light, the Beast had risen up out of the Void, a light-less, timeless Hell of a place. He had risen up and tried to destroy the Disciples of Light. We had finally defeated him and imprisoned him in a black hole, Geretd 4, and created the planet Scario to block the black hole, imprisoning the Beast, supposedly forever.
"When do we leave?" I asked, rising.
Uriel rose as well, the metal links on his red robe clinking. "Immediately."
We strode to the end of the hall, and opened the Space-Time Vortex. As we entered, I contemplated the future. Either we would defeat the Beast for good, or the Beast would destroy Galifrey, and all of Space and Time.
