The Heart Shaped Stone
A long time ago, even before the Time Lords, the was a race of beings known as the Thulika. The Thulika lived on a planet called Thul, which has long since been destroyed. The Thulika were green, with webbed feet and hands. They had very, very long, pointed ears, pointed teeth, and slanted eyes. They worshiped a Heart- Shaped Stone that they called Thalia. In times of need, or of bad harvest, they prayed to Thalia. They all adored her, save for one.
A Thulika named Shewa was very jealous. He was angry that a simple stone got so much attention, while he got almost none. One day, he decided that he would steal it. Now, the Thulika were a peace- loving, honest race, so they'd never have suspected that someone would steal their precious stone, so there was nobody there to guard it. Shewa easily walked in to the Temple, and took Thalia when nobody was looking.
The entire planet panicked when they discovered that Thalia had been stolen. And yet, nobody suspected jealous Shewa of stealing it. A long time passed, and Shewa was angry. He wanted his people to know that he stole Thalia so that they would concentrate all of their attention on him.
When Shewa told everybody he stole Thalia, he got all the attention he wanted, and more. But it came with a price. Shewa became the first Thulikan to ever be sentenced to death.
Shewa prayed to Thalia for mercy, even though he had stolen the stone. The moment before Shewa was killed for his crime, he saw a bright light, and he knew that Thalia had answered his prayers. He died at peace with himself.
