Dragon

The universe was burning. He was burning. He could feel the planet, Gallifrey, burning across his back. The pits of despairing children screaming lava-filled cracks into his skin. The adults' kindness turning to cruelty stabbing into his eyes. The planet, the silver trees, the red grass, everything was being ripped to shreds and razed to the ground and it all pulled at his ribs, stretching them to odd angles. And he was alone, alone, so very alone. He'd never felt such all-consuming pain before. He was used to slow torture, the gutting of a planet prickling across his skin and pulling at his joints, but this was agony in an instant. He curled up on the ground, the people of the city passing him by without pause as the young-looking man sat doubled over in torturous pain. His arms wrapped around his middle and clamped down, if only to hold himself together. To keep his body from splitting in two like he felt it would if he let go. He forgot to breathe or blink or think as his mind shattered with the force of the collapsing planet. Then the blackness took over. That feeling of something important being forgotten as his mind raced to protect itself. Something that never should have happened occurred, and the remolded shell of what was once the most powerful being in the universe was left behind on that dirty London street... and *she* was still alone. Ripped down to the very core of what she once was, she searches for meaning in life, for someone to point her in the right direction, but she finds a TARDIS with a rather eccentric Doctor and Martha instead. Little does she know, she may have just found the one man who can heal her.

*This book is in the FUBAR family, for any who know/care about that.
