Chapter 2
Moments after he fell asleep the Doctor opened his eyes and found that he was on Galifrey. He had to be dreaming, for Galifrey was destroyed in the time war. He realized he was still in his usual tweed jacket and bowtie. Though that all changed moments later when a young boy no older than five with curly black hair, in galifreyan robes ran up to him.
"Hi I'm Koschei", the young boy yelled
"Nice to meet you, I'm Theta." the Doctor replied. He noticed that he grew younger to the same age as young Koschei. It was the day they both started at the academy. It was hard on the both of them at first being they both excelled in their courses and the other students grew jealous of their success. Despite events that happened later on in their lives, the Doctor surely remembers this as a good day. It was his first friend, and they both gave each other companionship at such a young age.
The Doctor was then taken to another moment in his life. He was about ten and sitting next to Koschei. Borusa was currently yelling at them, and saying how lucky they aren't expelled and how much the damage will cost the academy. Theta and Koschei think nothing of the impending issues until Borusa mentions that Theta will be moved to a different class. The two boys both knew if they were in different classes, they would surely not see each other, at the most maybe once a week.
Theta worried for Koschei. It wasn't his fault, Borusa was right in saying that he was a bad influence on Koschei. And now Koschei would be all by himself while Theta is moved to a different class.
The Doctor was taken again a few years forward, to an even darker moment in his life. He was in the grassy fields with his brother, Yana, who was ten at the time. The doctor was fifteen. He was on the ground; he felt the burns the fire beast delivered to him, though he was able to protect himself the first time. Now the fire beast was attacking Yana. He saw his young brother bleeding and crying and he couldn't do anything, and it was agonizing.
"Theta!" Yana then cried, the cry was so agonized. It was only moments later that Yana went from a young boy to a ball of flames.
"NO!" the Doctor screamed. The Doctor was forced to watch his brother burn to death before help finally arrived. The young boy was charred and the Doctor was quickly bleeding to death out his abdomen and had burns all over his arm and chest.
He remembered not even being able to go to his young brother's funeral because the medics stated that his condition was still too severe to leave the medical wing. He didn't receive many visitors other than his family. Though at one point he did enjoy the company of Koschei, whose mentality was growing unstable. The doctor worried for his friend, but he did hope for the best. But he now knows his hope was all in vain.
As he sat there he then said "please make it all go away" his surroundings started to slowly fade and eventually took him to blackness. He then continued to sleep away both the physical, and the mental pain that continued to affect him.
