Last Day of Freedom
Theta
Theta ran across the dark crimson grass, his golden hair flowing behind him and his light brown eyes filled with unrestrained excitement. He was going to play with Koschei today at Mount Perdition and then he was going to look in to the gap in the Space Time continuum otherwise known as the Untempered Schism. This would have scared most people and in fact did scare most people including his best friend Koschei, but not Theta Sigma this was another step closer to his lifelong dream of exploring the Universe forever with Koschei.
Thete stopped running when he reached the gently sloping base of Mount Perdition where he met Koschei every day to play and have fun. They were different from most Time Tots, they were more free and happy and hyper than the others. He looked up at the twin suns to judge the time his blond hair falling into his honey like eyes. It was about 10 o'clock by Earth time and about 9 o'clock by Gallifreyan time. Koschei was late; Theta let out a small tittering laugh Koschei was always late he was late every day he came to play no matter how much Theta reminded him of the time. Thete was interrupted in his musings on Time when a small hand slid in to his, startled he turned around to be greeted with the warm ice blue eyes and shaggy black hair of his best friend Koschei, a smile lighted up his small face as he let out a small laugh and started running through the forest of crimson grass, tugging Koschei along with him.
When Thete reached the very middle of the meadows Koschei's father owned he lay down on the grass, pulling Koschei down with him and stared up at the burnt orange sky. "One day" he whispered to Koschei "We'll be up there exploring the Universe" Theta pointed up at the sky with Koschei mirroring his movements as Koschei whispered back "Together" and they both smiled at each other.
Thete sighed sadly to himself, today was his and Koschei's last true day of childhood, tomorrow they would look into the Untempered Schism and be changed forever. This was his last day of freedom but the beginning of something even better. Thete gripped Koschei's hand tighter he wasn't scared but he knew Koschei was. You see it didn't matter to Theta what happened, only to his family and his house, but none of Koschei's family or house cared Theta was his only comfort on the day before they were changed forever…
