The Time War.
I watched as the world burnt. I watched as everything I ever knew was turned to dust. I watched as my friends and family were murdered before my eyes. I watched the time war begin.
It started with screams and ended in silence. No one won that day. We all lost. The Daleks, their planet. Me, so much more. I walked among the ruins left after the first day. It was truly tragic. We were all so young. We were all forced to fight. Every man, every woman and every child had to fight against the Daleks.
We were all sent into the front line. We had no choice, it was either we fought or we died. The Daleks had billions, we only had millions. Before the war even began it was clear who would win. The Daleks were stronger than we ever could be. They were fearless, they were nothing more than the perfect killing machines.
A child stands next to me, he is no more than 10 years old. Yet he still carries a gun. He is afraid. "We're going to die aren't we? Even if we survive we have nothing, they took it all away from us."
I look into his eyes. "No. Not today."
"But we all die someday, right? Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day we will all die, just like the others. One day we all fall down."
I kneel down to his height and say "Unfortunately that is true, but this is not living. I don't want to survive, I want to live."
He looked at me in shock. We both knew that it was unlikely either of us would survive, this was war after all. It's a war that'll never stop until one side has eliminated the other. This is genocide.
So many Time Lords lost. We are living on a battlefield of a war no one can win. This is no longer a war, this is survival.
NO MORE.
It's time. Nobody deserves to win this war. It is time.
As I walk away from it all holding the end of the war in my hand I can't help but wonder if this is right. All the innocent children who would die... All my family and friends. Can I do this? Do I have the right to destroy the only home I've ever known?
If I don't do this we will all die anyway. The Daleks will destroy us, and then the universe. This would be double genocide and I would be the cause. Could I do that?
My home is burning. The Time Lords are dying. Doing this will cost me everything. I need to decide. If I do this Time Lords and Daleks alike will die. If I don't the universe just might. It is decided. I have no choice.
NO MORE.
I don't have to destroy Gallifrey. I can save it. I never realised before, but now I know I can. This time there are three of me. We can do it.
GALLIFREY STANDS.
I watched as my world burned. I watched as everything I knew turned to dust. I watched as my friends and family were murdered before my eyes. I watched as the Time War began... and I made it end.
