The Doctor is Coming to Town - Part 3

* Katherine's POV *

 "Can't we just teleport to the..." I try to remember how they had pronounced it, "Yggdrasill?"

We have been walking for a while now and we have just entered the still quiet city. After all, it is still early.

Loki who is walking in front, falters in his pass. "Well, we could have teleported to the secret tunnel. But from there we had to walk anyway."

"How come?"

"We can't use that kind of magic nearby the Yggdrasill. It is protected."

I let out a sigh. Of course it is.

"And no, it is no use to teleport now," Loki continues before any of us could suggest it. "We're nearly there."

"Really?" Megan asks who is walking next to me. "That was quick."

"I think he was talking about the secret tunnel," I point out and I see Loki nodding his head.

"Yes, from there is still a long road ahead of us to get to the Yggdrasill."

"Too bad," Megan says.

We continue our walk through the city and I feel like we're some kind of an escort, because we keep an eye on everything. Every small movement catches our eyes. But there's nothing to be escorted, kind of weird. Well, actually we're escorting the Tardis but no one can see that.

We turn around a corner and we enter a dead end. "Uhm, Loki. Where are we going?" I ask when he keeps walking straight ahead. He ignores our confused calls and keeps walking with big paces. I halt and cross my arms, expecting him to bump on the wall but till my suprise, he walks right through it.

"What the..." and quickly we all follow him. Behind the wall is indeed a tunnel. There's no light at all and Iris and Loki create a little lightorb which lits the tunnel in front of us. I can't see how far it goes but Loki has said it'll be quite long. The tunnel is wide and high so it is no problem for Diamond to keep the no longer invisible police box hover above our heads.

"Kind of a strange place to put a secret tunnel. Everyone could stumble across it by accident," I say.

"No, not really. Who walks into a dead end and tries to get through a wall?" Loki comments.

"Well, perhaps if you like Harry Potter..."

"Harry what?" He throws confused a look over his shoulder.

"Never mind." After all, Asgardians don't know about that.

We continue our walk in silence and I notice we're going deeper and deeper under ground. While our long walk I try to imagine what the Yggdrasill would look like. The Doctor had called it the Tree of the World, but would it actually be a tree? Or perhaps something else? The most spiritual place on Asgard is a tree... Well, alright. I suppose that could be. Strange, but possible. The Navi's from 'Avatar' had a special bond with trees too, so yeah... Possible.

After an hour or so I notice the tunnel starts to go upwards again, hopefully we're nearly at the end of it. I like adventures but this walking in the dark is kind of boring. Elizabeth, Skyler and Iris are trying to get as much information out of the Doctor about the series; if they're actually right, but since I don't know the series, I'm not really interested in his answers. But by hearing some shrieks and squeals coming from them, I think they are very pleased with his responses.

Finally we step out of the tunnel and the rising sun almost blinds me. I squint my eyes a bit and when I'm used to the bright light, my jaw drops a bit by the sight. The field all around us is impossibly green and it smells like it has been mowed only a few moments ago. I breath in deeply, enjoying the soothing smell. A cool breeze blows over the field but it isn't really cold here. Nor is it warm, the temperature is somewhere between it and it is just right for everyone. In the distance I can spot a huge lake but no matter how much I look around, I cannot see a tree. Not even one. Everywhere are amazing flowers and bushes with colorful flowers, but no tree. Perhaps the Yggdrasill is a bush? I chuckle in myself, now that would be something. The holy place is a bush.
