This would have to be the best chapter I've made so far. I really like it.


The Doctor leaned back against the TARDIS door and heard Dee shouting. He took a minute to think.

He saw what Dee had seen. Creatures from the rough edges of myth. Some of them aliens trapped long ago by the Elder race, others created by them. And nearly all feared Dee. And they all feared the Doctor too. But this, thankfully, the Doctor could say, was different.

The Doctor had earned that fear from saving innocent creatures from the more nasty ones. John Dee hadn't earned this much and he knew it. He had only gained it from his Elder master. And the Doctor had known that Elder, and had feared of the Elder himself. He didn't want to remember those days.

Then the Doctor remembered what he knew about the coming years. Maybe there were Elders coming back into the world. Killitanes, Cybermen, Daleks, Angels, Racnoss, Sontarans. All were creatures that those who knew about the Elder race believed were Elders. Racnoss Queen was even believed to be Areop-Enap's sister who was banished from the Earth.

Maybe Dee was not going to be at loss. Maybe, just maybe, Dee had helped these attempts, and the Doctor had already stopped them. He couldn't do much more than that. So he stepped out again.
