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.
