Chapter 1: It's too early.

I was asleep, content in my own thoughts then Ring, ring.

"Shit" I moved to check the caller ID. "Hey Cas, what's up?" A crackle sparked over the speaker before a reply came through.

"Dean says we have a lead on the Coven of witches that have been killing hunters."

Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I nodded though no one would actually see the action over a phone.

"Wonderful." I mutter sarcastically as I extradited myself from the soft gulag that was my bed. "I'll be there in 10 minutes bye Cas"

I moved in a blur to locate my things and prepare myself for what lie ahead. I sauntered to the mirror looking at myself. I was rather unassuming in my complexion. Messy black hair, bright blue eyes, a sturdy 6'4 frame, and well-muscled described me in a gist. The only thing about me which would certainly draw unwanted attention were the many scars, burns, and healed wounds from my many years of operating as a hero and hunter. Lucky for me while they were bad they only covered my chest, back arms, legs, and hands in any abundance, my face was unscathed. Wearing long sleeve shirts, and dress trousers hid them quite well.

"Ugh it's 7:30 am this is too early I need coffee. Ok, clothes are together, where the bloody hell did I leave my coat?" I wracked my brain trying to recall where I had discarded my trench coat. After all the clothes do help make the man, "Well I know it's not in the cave; I'll try the library."

In a burst of magic and golden-yellow lightning indicative of my skill as a mage I take off at incredible speed, winding my way through the metallic corridors of my TARDIS, my home. Even after piloting the TARDIS for nearly twenty thousand years I still marvel at her infinite design. Five minutes later I found myself in the library. While I am fast the TARDIS is a labyrinthine maze of corridors and rooms and even I must take great care when venturing deep into the heart of the TARDIS as one may well know. Looking around the room at the towering shelves of books and the gothic architecture I felt a sense of peace. Here was the quiet space I would often retire to in order to research spells, arcane texts, or simply read a book. Imagine that, reading a book in a library what a strange concept.) After scanning the immediate surroundings of the library I locate my coat which is light grey and very well trimmed lying over the back of a handcrafted oak desk which is covered in papers and scrolls pertaining to several alien species, I walk over and glance at several scrolls relating to witches, quickly memorizing the information I retrieve my coat and take off in a blur of golden-yellow lightning heading for the main console room.

Navigating through the corridors to the console room took about fifteen minutes as I was pushing myself to the limit so that I could reach my friends quickly. I burst through the door on the lower level on the console room. The room itself is metallic with a lower level which opens via a staircase onto a round main level. The floor is covered in a circular pattern of vents to allow for steam to escape. From where I am standing I can see the main console, hexagonal in design. This center console is made of the same metal as the rest of the room; it does however have the distinguishing feature of the time rotor. This time rotor is a column of glass with orange inset lighting. The time rotor travels from the base of the lower level where it is surrounded by storage compartments; to the ceiling of the console room where it is affixed in rotating gears. These gears are a triple set a lower one which is smaller, a medium one, and the top one which is slightly larger. These offer lighting over the console and act as a central visual marker for the room. Circular markings are present along the sides of the gears; they are part of the Gallifreyan alphabet. When the TARDIS is in flight or traveling through the Time Vortex these gears rotate.

As I turn moving about the console I work the controls, they are an assorted variation comprised of levers, switches, buttons, and keyboards. Each of the six segments to the console controls different functions of the TARDIS from flight to inertial dampers. If you had about 200 years I could explain the workings of temporal mechanics and how the TARDIS controls worked in depth. For now all that should concern you is that they do. The main level also contained two Secondary Consoles on either side of room facing away from the exterior doors. These consoles are just above waist height and are covered in switches and buttons and in keeping with the décor are metal in appearance. Above the main level is an upper walkway which forms a ring around the length of the room. This walkway is accessible by two staircases one running left if you enter through the main exterior doors the second is at the very back of the room again if you are facing the stair way from the main doors. This walkway is the home of several ornate bookshelves and a blackboard which line the upper walls. While not as expansive as the actual library they do serve to create a more comfortable space as well as adding to the ambiance.
