The Time Lord Part 2

The Doctor sat quietly as Grayson, Mia and Drake explained their world to him, magic, of all things, of all the places The Time Lord has been to think he would find himself trapped in a dimension of magic. Like a child's, The Doctor's curiosity and excitement took hold of him and he jumped to his feet. "Come on explaining something isn't the same as experiencing it!" Then before any of the others can say anything he ran to the TARDIS'S door and pulled it open, he stepped out onto the damp grass of a forest. The sun shined down on him through the trees, from where he stood the world seemed no different from the early days of the Earth he knew.

Grayson and Mia came out with Drake close behind them, The Doctor spun around towards his new found friends. "I'm stuck here anyway so no reason you can't show me this dimension of yours! This is new to me and nothing is ever new to me!" The Doctor mumbled on speaking too quickly for the others to understand. However, they got the gist of what he was asking, he wanted to stay and look around. Mia looked down at her feet saddened by The Doctor's excitement, but when The Doctor stopped talking she looked up to find him standing right in front of her looking at her face as if he was examining it.

Grayson spoke up to The Doctor "It may not be a good idea for you to stay, " he said it level voiced but The Doctor saw through it and found worry maybe fear in the meaning of his words.

"You should leave as soon as possible, " Drake added. The Doctor looked over the three in front of him, he noted how each one of them had scars physically and mentally. Pitty for the group made him want to save them, but what was he supposed to do against things he deemed myths?

"Why is it that you want me gone?" The Doctor asks. The three looked at each other there glares trying to get each other to say something. Grayson soon looked away without moving his head into a thicker part of the forest, Drake also noticed something which seemed to alarm him.

                      "Grayson, " Drake lowered his voice. Now with his attention was on the job of finding something wrong he realized someone was watching them.

                        "I know, Mia, Doctor we need to get out of here quickly, " The Time Lord nods towards the human in agreement.

                         "Mercenaries?" Mia questions.

                          With surprise, The Doctor repeats her question "Mercenaries!?"

                           Grayson sighs and is about to explain something when darts hit each of the explores, neither with the immune system to fight off the drug Grayson and Mia both fall to the ground. The Doctor pulled the dart out of his skin, the drug didn't seem to have any effect on him. Quickly digging through his trench coat for his sonic screwdriver he scanned his two fallen companions, Drake dazed by the drug, however, he still managed all his attention on his two friends. "It's only a sedative they'll be fine in a few hours, "

                   "That's if we can get them out of here, " Drake comments. The Doctor looks up to find himself surrounded by humans wielding a ride range of primitive weapons. Those with bows shot at him and the mage with arrows that meet a force field of some kind that Drake seemed to be keeping up around them. However one of the last arrows flew right passed The Doctor's head as the spell dropped.

                    He looked worriedly at his hybrid friend "Sorry Time Lord, but that drug of theirs just put my magic out of commission, " Drake stayed kneeling next to his two unconscious friends as the Doctor sprung to his feet.

                    Pointing his problem-solving sonic screwdriver at the assailants he warns them "Put your weapons down or I'll use this... Very very deadly weapon!"
