A/N: The 'cycle' referred to in the prologue below is equivalent to a century. Also, I imagined it as a narrative chapter read by John Barrowman as Cpt. Jack Harkness
Prologue: An Unwritten History
In the final days of its 150th cycle, the mighty planet Gallifrey was decimated, and its people – the Time Lords – exterminated in what became known as the Last Great Time War between the Dalek Alliance and Time Lord Resistance
Fatally injured and nearing the end of his eighth life, The Doctor – a child of two worlds – fled the remnants of his home planet and escaped to the only other planet on which he'd ever felt at home: Earth!
Once there, he would regenerate into a new, healthier form, and allow his ship – the TARDIS – to perform repairs on the extreme damage it had received during the war.
Believing himself to be the last surviving member of his now dead race, The Doctor took on the responsibility of travelling time and space – occasionally picking up a companion or two – and righting wrongs.
What he had never known – even after two further regenerations and two encounters with rival Time Lord The Master – was that he wasn't as alone as he had thought.
Okay, that's the prologue written. And I'm already hard at work on the next chapter. If you have any suggestions for a title, please feel free to make them.
