"He has returned Doctor."

The Doctor straightened up a bit, turning his head as much as he could considering he was tied to a chair. "And what's that supposed to mean? Who has returned- what am I even here for?!" he questioned, confusion and annoyance lacing his tone. "-And where's my screwdriver; it isn't exactly polite to steal somebody's tool and then strap them to a chair, y'know!" he continued.

"Doctor, my kind are those of utmost politeness, but this is our prime concern; and we had to take precautions. You're reputation isn't exactly the best; Doctor," the creature responded. To this, the Doctor sighed, shutting his eyes briefly before reopening them with a hint of concern.

"What could possibly be so important that you need me?" he asked, soon regretting that question and the millions of answers that could come with it.

"He has returned," the creature answered simply, to which the Doctor rolled his eyes, face contorted into one of exasperation.

"Yeah, but who is he?" he asked.

"The one you so desperately want back, yet as equally want destroyed, Doctor." His eyes widened, and his lips moved with no sound.

"The Master… the Master has- let me out of this! Where is he?!" The Doctor demanded, struggling desperately against the ropes that restrained him. "I have to find him!"

"He is not in this universe; he is among the millions that are out there, Doctor. But he has returned; and with no good intention," the creature responded, ignoring his requests to be set free. "If you find him Doctor, the whole of time and space will be ripped apart."

"Oh, but I've stopped that before," the Doctor responded in a matter-of-fact tone. "And besides-, "he began, before cutting himself off. "..Wait..."

"You cannot find him, Doctor: he is not near."

"-But how do you know all of this if he isn't in this dimension?!" the Doctor demanded, his eyes wide and filled with countless emotions.

"Two words, doctor."

And then, they were gone.


And that is the Prologue for Time! c: I already have the first Chapter done and the second is a work in progress. I have so much planned for this story, and I can't wait to see where it goes!

Allons-y!
