"What just happened?" Rose asked as the light faded.

She and the Doctor looked around and realized that they were in a completely different place. It was raining heavily, but Rose was too confused to pay it any attention.

"Where are we?" she asked before anyone could answer her first question.

"Where and when." the Doctor corrected her.

"What do you mean when?" Rose asked him. "Are you telling me we traveled through time?"

"Evidently." the Doctor answered her.

"How do you know?" Rose questioned.

"I presume that it is one of the many abilities of a Time Lord?" Isaiah interrupted.

"Yes it is." the Doctor confirmed. "How did you know that I'm a Time Lord?"

"Let's just say I know someone who knows a thing or two." Isaiah responded.

"How are you able to travel through time without a TARDIS or any other form of time-machine?" the Doctor asked.

"I was given many abilities for this journey." Isaiah told them.

"You still haven't answered my question." Rose reminded Isaiah.

"I'd prefer to keep the when unknown. Let's just say a few hundred years ago." Isaiah told her. "As for the where, I believe we're in what is known in modern times as the country of Turkey."

"Now for my next question:" Rose continued, "why are we here?"

"To learn the first lesson of our journey: the power of God's promises." Isaiah answered.

"If I may interrupt with a somewhat irrelevant question, why is it raining so hard?" the Doctor asked.

"I am glad that you asked Doctor." Isaiah said. "It is actually quite relevant. The purpose of this rain is a world-wide deluge that will wipe out almost all life from this planet."

"Impossible." the Doctor responded.

'Wow twice in one day. That must be a record.' Rose thought to herself. But what she said out loud was: "Why do they need to be destroyed?"

"It is because of mankind's great wickedness." Isaiah answered her

"There was never a world-ending flood that destroyed all life on the planet." The Doctor told Isaiah.

"I said almost all life." Isaiah countered.

The next moment, the three of them were in a completely different place. It was really dark in the area, until Rose and the Doctor realized that they were standing in the shadow of a colossal wooden boat.

"What is this?" the Doctor asked astonished. "How did you do that?"

"I told you that I was given many abilities for this journey." Isaiah reminded them. "This boat is an Ark. It was built by a man named Noah. On board it is Noah, his family, seven of every kind of animal that can be eaten according to Noah's beliefs, and two of every other kind of animal found on Earth."

"And they're there to survive this flood and repopulate the Earth?" the Doctor asked.

"You catch on quickly, Doctor." Isaiah confirmed. "Now we must continue on to the second part of this story: the ending."

The bright light surrounded them again. When it faded this time, Rose and the Doctor discovered that they were on top of a mountain. The Ark lay near by. They could see a small group of people standing around an altar singing praises. A rainbow stretched across the blue sky above them.

"We are now over a year into the future. The flood has subsided, and the ark's occupants have disembarked." Isaiah informed them.

"Who are they praising?" Rose asked.

"God of course." Isaiah told her.

"What's with the rainbow?" the Doctor asked. "It's the boldest rainbow I've ever seen."

"That is because it is the first and most important rainbow." Isaiah answered. "All others that follow it are merely reminders of what this one represents."

"And what does it represent?" Rose inquired.

"It represents a promise that a flood shall never again destroy this world." Isaiah answered. "And as I'm sure you're aware Doctor, that promise is still being kept."

"Yes it is." the Doctor admitted.

"Now then, I do believe it is time for us to continue to our next lesson." Isaiah told them.

As the white light appeared again, all Rose could think was 'Now where?'.
