Prologue

Some people say it's just a myth, some say it's real, and some even claim to have seen it.

That mysterious blue box, popping up throughout all of time and space, with a lonely old man inside.

Some say that it's real, and some even claim to have traveled in it.

However, the box is not the real mystery, but rather, the man inside the box. The man who can change his face, the man who can sense danger from light years away, the man that always steps in at the last second to save the day and then he leaves. Nobody ever thanks him; most people don't even know he's there. He is the silent guardian that has been watching over the entirety of time and space since the beginning, and he will be watching until the end of it all.

The old man and his box, protector of the human race, destroyer of worlds, keeping us all safe on the Earth below.

This time he's the one that needs to be saved, but there will be no one there to help him, not this time.

This time he will be all alone; not even his box will be there to protect him.

The Doctor, alone in the universe for the first time since its creation, and it will tear him apart.
