Start of a New Year: Fae'th Friday

Well it 2009 and the begining of the New Year. Speaking of begining I am going to start trying my damnedest to post something everyday. In order to help with this I am going to have themed days. Today marks the first of those days.
I have always loved to create things, part of the reason I love doing video work so much. One of these ways I like to create is to write. I can say I dabble in writing in that I do not do it as a profession, though it would be nice, and I have not gotten my self in the discipline of writing everyday. I know a published writer or two and i can only hope to one day reach their level once before I pass away.
Of the course of the years in this dabbling I have come up with a series of fantasy stories set in a World called Fae'th. The world is one I hope can establish its own identity. There are many many influences that went into this world including influences from my published friends. You will probably find a lot of similarities in the world, if you choose to read the story, with many other fantasy elements. I am not trying to rip off but more honor some of these great fantastical elements.
I am also a Doctor Who fan, not as devoute to some, but a big fan none the less. I wanted to write a Doctor Who story for awhile and finally the insipiration came too me. A Fae'th and Dr Who crossover. This story will play a part in the Cannon of Fae'th, you'll see, if you continue to read said stories. I shall stop babbling. I hope you enjoy and of course Constructive feedback or even praise should you feel it is deserved. I will post 2-3 pages or so every friday. Possibly other days as well but Friday for sure. ALso this is still rough, hence the encouragement for feed back.
Things to note: The Doctor and his Companion are from the fan fiction stories written by a good friend of mine Steve Wolterstorff. Also my Grammar bites.

"Fae'th In Time"
by Mark Krawczyk

She watched him, as she had done many times, work the controls of the TARDIS like a conductor directed an orchestra. He moved around the hexagonal saucer shaped control panel with such familiarity that it was almost like an extension of himself. Julie had managed to find a love seat while exploring one of the many storage rooms of the TARDIS and the Doctor said he did not mind if she tried it out as long as it did not get in his way. She had found a perfect place in one of the corners of the large console room to put it. As she stretched out on the love seat she yawned and continued to watch the Doctor at work.

The up and down movement of the cylindrical Time Rotor in the center of the console had a very hypnotic affect on her and she knew if she continued to watch she would eventually fall asleep. She decided to turn back to the paper they had picked up from their last visit to earth. It was an early issue of the National Inquirer and Julie found it quite amusing.

“Listen to this, A man was found in Norway with the decomposing body of his wife in his bed. Authorities believe she had been dead for 5 years and the man loved her so much he always wanted her by his side. Apparently he covered her body in rose petals and brought her breakfast in bed every morning.”

“And who says romance is dead.” The Doctor quipped.

“Oh please now that’s …..waaaaH”

Julie fell off her love seat as the TARDIS seemed to come to a very abrupt halt and in the next moment felt as if it was falling. The console had managed to stop the Doctor from falling to the ground and he frantically tried to bring the TARDIS back under his control. The TARDIS stopped with a thud as abruptly as it had started its apparent descent. Julie picked her self off the floor and dusted off her jeans.

“What was that Doctor?”

The Doctor at first didn’t respond but instead turned dials and muttered under his breath. It was a few seconds before the Doctor responded, like the question had to travel a great distance before it reached his ears.

“It appears that we fell through a temporary hole in time/space and have landed on a planet.”

“A planet? Do you know which one?”

“No I do not and at the moment neither does the TARDIS. That never happens. Hmmm I wonder if there is problem with her mem…” the Doctor’s comments trailed off as he dove under the console and removed a panel. Julie meanwhile pressed one of the few buttons she was familiar with on the TARDIS control panel, it was the view screen button.

A small square part of one of the TARDIS walls slid down to reveal a video image of what was outside of the TARDIS. From what Julie could tell, the TARDIS had landed in the middle of a field and in the distance she could see small buildings that looked as if they were from mid-evil earth.

“Doctor take a look at this. It looks like earth”

The Doctor stood up continuing a conversation he had started with himself while under the panel, “…well whatever it was scrambled her space/time orientation system. No worries it will be back aligned in a few moments, I am sorry what were you saying?”

“We are on mid-evil earth or someplace like it. Can we take look around?” Julie’s eyes seem to fill with light as she asked the question. The doctor scratched his sideburns for moment before he answered.

“Well I don’t see why not. Give the TARDIS a rest while she sorts things out, besides I would like to find out what caused the hole.” The Doctor went to grab his tan trench coat from off a coat rack near the door, he never went exploring without it. He then made a motion to grab something off the hook that was next to the one his jacket had been on but there was nothing on it. I miss my hat he thought to himself and then shook it from his head. Julie opened the door and headed out with the Doctor right behind.

The TARDIS from the outside looked like a police box from the 50’s. You could not tell that it held much more than a phone and a compartment for a person to stand in. It always seemed out of place wherever and whenever it landed, even when it would land in the 1950’s. At the same time, the TARDIS also seemed familiar enough that most people rarely questioned its reason for being there. The two stepped out of the TARDIS. The Doctor spun around and immediately locked the door. Just as the Doctor stowed his key in the pocket of his red vest, a familiar scream made him spin around again.

“DOCTORR HELP!!!”

The Doctor saw Julie being hauled off over the shoulder of a very large Humanoid creature. It was 7 feet tall and all muscle. Its pasty white hairless skin stood out against the dark brown leather armor the beast wore. There was a large sheathed broadsword slung across the beast’s back and throwing axe hung from a thick leather belt. Julie pounded on its back while she yelled at it.

“JULIE!” The Doctor yelled back as he made to run after her. He did not go anywhere for his arms were immediately grabbed by a pair of large hands. Two more of the humanoid brutes stood next to the Doctor, one on each side, and held him in place. He looked up and got a better look at the face of his captors.

The brutes looked almost exactly alike in their features. They had no facial hair and their eyes look like white marbles with a large red dot in the middle of them. Their pointy crooked ears stuck out from the sides of their head as if they had just been tossed on for the sake of having them. Their sharp pointy teeth stuck out on an angle from their jaw , making it look like they had a boxer’s mouth piece inside their mouth when their lips were closed. The two brutes that restrained the doctor only had a short sword strapped to each of their hips and he suspected they were of lesser rank. One of them made some low guttural noise followed by a click and what could be best describe as a coughing sound. The other made a different pattern of noises which the Doctor could not understand. The Doctor regained his composure though his muscles were still tensed, ready to go after Julie as soon as he could break free. The brute on the Doctor’s right pulled out his sword and pointed its tip at the Doctor’s throat.
