The Founders of Gallifrey

Chapter 2: Talks of New Gallifrey


The twins were walking down an underground secret passageway that led directly to the Academy. Genesis clung onto her brother's hand tightly as he led the way. Coming into a clearing, he knocked on the wall and it opened, leading them into a cave-like room with light illuminated in it.

This was their secret hide out. No one else knew about it, not even Razz or Alium.

The stone walls were decorated with pictures and random artifacts they would come across. It was their time capsule of sacred memories. Genesis looked over at the photo of their parents with a melancholy smile. "I miss them, Peylix."

He put a comforting hand on her shoulder, looking at the photo. "I know, I do too."

"Do you think they are watching over us in the afterlife?" she asked, curious and hopeful. It was a positive thing to think about at least, even if they didn't know there was such a thing as an afterlife.

"I'd like to think so."

"Me too."

Putting up a picture of the two of them with Razz and Alium all standing and smiling proudly, it was placed next to a bunch of other pictures they had. The one wall was beginning to look like a huge scrapbook covered in photos.

Today, the three guys had graduated from the academy. Now, they could spend all their time working on their plans. "With the hand almost being done, Razz and I think the Pythia is going to catch onto our plans soon." This made Genesis gasp, knowing the consequences of this.

The Pythia was a group of leaders for their planet, usually a woman. Everyone trusted in them because of the fact they possessed powerful psychic powers and powers of precognition, ruling Gallifrey and it's people with superstition and magic. However, a few, such as the group of three consisting of Peylix, Rassilon, and Allium knew it was all a bunch of hocus pocus. Genesis on the other hand believed anything was possible. The current matriarchal leader was known as the 508th Pythia, a woman who had been ruling their planet for a while. The guys were planning to put a stop to her ruling and bring Gallifrey into an age of science and reason.

"You need to be more careful, brother. I can't lose you too." Genesis said, looking at him with worry.

Peylix patted her head. "It's okay. I will never leave your side." He took her into a hug. "I just need you to be careful."

News had gotten out about the current Pythia's powers diminishing, hence looking for a new person to take her place. It always had to be a young virgin girl and Peylix feared his sister would be one of the next candidates they had in line. Since she was young, Genesis began showing strange signs. She was able to predict things before they happened and was often found doing strange things at times, such as talking to things that weren't there. He knew it was because of what she was: an Individual . Those special few born every 1,000 years with the ability to block their thoughts from the normal Gallifreyan telepathy everyone shared.

Peylix told her to keep it secret, not wanting Rassilon, Alium or anyone else to know of her abilities for fear of her getting caught. Besides, he made a promise to their dying parents to protect her.

However, with news of the Pythia looking for her next successor, the guys had to enact their plan soon... or else .


Graduating from the Academia, the three guys had taken on their new titles; Omega, the Other, and Rassilon- well, he just stuck with his own name. It was a wonderful ceremony that the twins parents would have been proud to witness for their son.

As predicted, the boys were fast at work with their project. Genesis sat around watching them. It must have been almost a year since they graduated and they had been working on the device, but things still remained the same. Deciding to take a break from their project, the friends went outside and sat on a meadow that Genesis had suggested. It was a beautiful place with a waterfall close by. Sitting down the snacks she had made for them, Genesis joined the guys in the red grass.

The Other began to speak, "So, listen to this Genesis. We were thinking of how we are also going to rebuild the school and political structure of New Gallifrey."

" New Gallifrey ?" she questioned.

They all nodded. "Yes, a new Gallifrey, without the Pythia's rule."

"Hopefully you're not going to call our planet New Gallifrey once your plans come to fruition?" she chuckled, finding the name rather ridiculous.

"No." Rassilon answered, giving a stern look.

The Other continued his explanation, "Anyway, we were talking about different chapters we would have for the school we would rename the Time Lord Academy. Each of the chapters have a different structure to them in regards to politics."

Rassilon cut him off again, declaring proudly, "I came up with the Prydonian Chapter . Our colors will be scarlet, orange and gold. My chapter will be the shining one and produce lots of presidents, just watch!"

This earned a chuckle from Omega. "We shall see Razz. The Arcalian chapter might just surprise you. I think the color's green, brown and bronze might fit mine. They will be scientists who help Gallifrey move forward with new ideas."

Genesis smiled brightly. "That's so fitting of you, brother!"

He smiled, "Thank you sister."

In fact, all the chapter ideas seemed to be fitting of both men: Rassilon being egotistically smug, saying his chapter would be the best and Omega, being humble and wanting to bring ideas. Genesis began to wonder what her best friend's could only entail. It was silent as everyone looked over to the Other, awaiting his idea for a chapter.

He cleared his throat, "The Patrex Chapter will look at anything they come across as if it was a work of art. They are very adventurous and will love to learn new things."

Despite earning a roll of the eyes from Rassilon, this caught Genesis attention. "Sounds fantastic. Besides, you're highly imaginative and adventurous."

"And what would the chapter color's be?" Omega asked.

The Other thought on it for a while before replying, "Heliotrope. It's a rare color which makes it even more beautiful.

"Speaking like one of your own already." Rassilon snuffed, earning a slight glare from Genesis.

Omega turned to look at his sister, wanting her to join in on this as well. "Your turn, Genesis."

Her blue eyes went wide, giving her twin a surprised look. "What? You want me to give chapter ideas as well?" Omega and the Other nodded. "But, I'm not even one of you guys."

"You may not help with our plans, but you are present during them. We tell you everything we are doing, so you count as one of us." The Other pointed out.

Looking at her best friend and brother, Genesis chuckled, feeling better about it. She supposed they were right. Looking over to some of the flowers by their side, the idea came to her. "I think I would call mine the Cerulean Chapter . It would be a chapter that is connected to nature. Members like taking care of others and the planet." This earned a knowing look from Omega, who grabbed his sister's hand to remind her. "I think blue would be a good color."

Rassilon scoffed. "A chapter that is about nothing but plants?"

"Well, I think it's very fitting of Genesis. You usually seem happiest when you're outside among nature and you're a caring individual, always making sure we aren't working too hard." the Other added in, backing up his friend's idea.

"Does the chapter have any political power?" Rassilon asked.

"Does it have to? I mean, concerning the welfare of our planet, yes, but that's as far as it would go."

"Don't worry, the Patrex aren't very political either." The Other said.

Rassilon looked at the two of them as if they were the craziest people on the planet. No wonder they were best friends with each other, the same could be said for him and Omega. "Now, we would have to figure out how the chapters would tie into houses. Since the Prydonian and Arcalian chapters are the most political, that means they have more advantages when it comes to marriage."

Genesis choked on her drink, coughing, "M-Marriage?"

Omega patted his sister's back. "You okay?"

"Y-Yeah." She nodded, looking back over to Rassilon. "But why bring up the subject of marriage?"

Omega looked at his sister with wide eyes. "Wouldn't you like to get married someday, sister? Carry on our family legacy?"

"Someday...just not anytime soon."

"What about you, Omega?" The Other dared to ask, chuckling.

The blonde tilted his head. "I've never really thought about it. I've been so preoccupied with the device."

"What about that blonde woman from the house of Blyledge?"

Omega's brown eyes went wide with surprise. "No, she's far too young."

"She's been eyeing you non-stop. I think she likes you." The Other smirked, thinking the girl to be rather cute as well. Then again, he seemed to think every girl was cute. "Why not give it a chance, otherwise someone will take her."

"W- well..." Omega stuttered, cheeks red.

Genesis narrowed her eyes, feeling a bit bitter about the subject. "Stop teasing him, Alium!"

She couldn't think of her brother marrying someone. The thought didn't sit well with her. It made her feel as though he would be taken away from her by his wife. Omega was the only family she had left. Besides, she didn't want him getting hurt by someone who probably didn't love him. After all, just like Rassilon said, marriage was a political move here. If you were born in a lower-tier house, you had to try to marry into a higher-up house to be properly taken care of, especially if you were a woman.

"Brother, don't let them pressure you into it. Just focus on your project, the Hand of Omega, remember? You're going to achieve great things with it, I know it!" Genesis declared.

It went unnoticed by them as Rassilon narrowed his eyes at the twins.

Omega smiled at her, taking her hand. "You're right, sister. The mission comes first."


The three Gallifreyans had spent their time tinkering and working further on their plans. Genesis stood off to the side watching as they worked on a starbreaker starship that they would use to reach one of the stars by their planet to initiate the plan.

Time Travel and everything else with it would soon be in their grasp.

It was moments like this that Genesis enjoyed. Her brother's silly, happy, smiling face as he worked alongside his friends. Omega needed people who supported him and she was glad to not be the only one anymore. But she couldn't shake a bad feeling deep in her gut. A screaming, cold sensation she always got over Rassilon as of late. Granted, he was her brother's best friend, but Genesis felt he might end up stabbing her brother in the back. Or maybe she was just overthinking? Regardless, if it was in general or the way he would act with her, Rassilon began giving her the creeps since she grew up. It was something she couldn't shake.

Taking a break, the Other went to join her. He took a bite of a sandwich she had made for all of them. "What's up with you? Why are you looking at Rassilon in that way?" He almost choked on his food, eyes wide. "Don't tell me you've actually started to develop feelings for him?"

She shot him a look, thinking him ludicrous. "No!" Genesis paused before continuing. "I just- have this feeling I can't seem to shake. It's a cold, dark feeling that goes down my spine and freezes me to my very core."

"You mean disgust?" he chuckled.

She couldn't tell him that she was able to predict things before they happened, that usually everything came true. Her brother said to never tell anyone of her abilities. It would put her in danger.

"I mean...I feel like there is something Rassilon is keeping hidden. Something dark. It's as if the person we know before us is just an act to fool us." she whispered, watching as her brother and the person in question were still hard at work.

The Other looked confused, eyebrows furrowed in wonder. "Or maybe you're just being overprotective about your brother. Razz is a nice guy who is trying to help our people as much as we are." Noticing the frown on her face, he continued. "I know he's pretty much the only person you've had in your life to depend on after the loss of your parents, but don't be afraid to branch out to other people."

"Alium..." He grabbed her hand, causing her to look at him in surprise. "I'm just afraid to because- I don't want to lose anyone else." Genesis sighed.

"And you fear losing your brother?"

She nodded, scared blue eyes now looking into his equal blue orbs. "If I lost him, I wouldn't know what to do. All my life, all I have known is my brother. He's my best friend and my twin. He raised me and-" Genesis couldn't continue the sentence. It was just too hard to speak of.

"We live in a world where Death is crawling around a corner everyday, watching us, waiting to take us- it's only understandable." A smile came to the Other's face as he booped her nose. "But it won't be like that any longer, dear Genesis. Imagine being able to overcome death, see the stars and galaxies, time and space itself! Imagine a world where no one really dies anymore and we can help it."

This made a smile come to her face. She knew he was trying to cheer her up with his optimistic talk of adventures and possibilities - and it was working. "Sounds like a grand old time."

The Other held onto her hand tighter. "Then we will travel the stars together!"

He pulled her along with him, running around the room and past the two guys still working on the ship. They both laughed and giggled, running around like little kids, causing Omega and Rassilon to stop and look up at them.

"What has gotten into the two of you?" Omega asked.

Rassilon crossed his arms. "Yeah, you both are acting like children while we are trying to work on an important matter here."

"Alium and I are exploring all the other planets and civilizations in the galaxy!" Genesis exclaimed, sticking her tongue out at him, acting exactly like a kid.

Omega began to laugh happily, feeling warm hearted over it. "Lighten up, Razz, I think it's a wonderful thing. It reminds me of what's to come when we finish this."

Genesis ran over to her twin, taking him into a hug. "I'm excited, brother. I can't wait! I wanna see it all!"

He chuckled. "It's going to happen." Gesturing over to the ship they had been working on, he explained. "This ship, Eurydice, as I've decided to call it, will help me reach the star. Using the Hand, I will make the star go supernova making a black hole. From there..." Omega smiled proudly, beaming with excitement. "Our plan will be official."

The twins cheered happily between each other. Everything was going to change...but would it be for the better? Genesis tried to shake the cold, gut-wrenching feeling away, ignoring it's warning that came with it.


AUTHOR'S NOTES: We get some background into how the Gallifreyan Chapters were created. All of it is canon, except for the part concerning the Cerulean Chapter and Genesis. It is said on the New Gallifrey wiki that Lazuline was actually the chapter's founder, but that character is never mentioned in any material, so I thought why not have Genesis be it.

The chapter's relate to the founder's personality traits after all ;D
