Terra 28
("Balancing Act" or "Time Anchor Lost!")
Feir-dalen D'Honaire- Think of Fred 8, but at the critical moment in time when offered the choice to betray those who trusted him, a new elfin heart reached out and touched his, causing Fred to see the folly of what he was about to do. His senses for a short time lifted to those on par of an elf, he saw that this demoness was actually an evil version of himself.
Enraged and ashamed of what he'd almost done, he strikes down the Brazen Man.....and wounds the fell creature enough so that the Beings who arrive seconds later to finish the Brazen Man can easily do it.
Fred is whisked away to meet the transformed elfin woman who his heart now belongs to (and vice versa).
Agreeing to become a Champion to the Rules and Agents, he also was transformed into the splitting image of Gilmuriel.
Now, heart rejoicing at the change, the new elfin lovers are happy as can be.
Renamed Feir-dalen, the new elf loved what he'd become.
Before they were sent to Terra Prime to join the other Champions there (and join the House Thessamer/D'Honaire/John), they were gifted with a young elfin girl that they named Ti'mma.

Kethiani D'Honaire - Think of E'eysha, but instead of going through the door that lead out into the underground river and eventually to Fred outside, she chose the grandfather clock....and got turned into a young child and sent back in time.
It soon became necessary for her to have her Anchored, for she was in danger of drifting throughout time until nothing of her was left. So, the mage who was trying to do this tapped into the life stream of alternate Astra...and tapped the wrong source indeed!
This excerpt explains:
Myrddin pulls aspects of Astra from a timeline in which she was
transformed into an elf by a strange shaman, and.......oops!
Princess Astra of Aqualaria felt a strange tingling as the ceremony
continued. She
should have felt memories pouring into her head, memories that she had
never
had before in her life, and yet they felt completely natural to her. She
should have
remembered this:
She remembered being freed by Lord Frederigo D'Honaire, going to Doctor
Vincent's tower, and being sent to a strange place by a miscast spell,
just as
she had in her own reality. But, in the other reality, instead of walking
into
the grandfather clock, she had walked through a demon-ornamented
archway into astrange passage which lead to an underground river. And
that had made all the difference.
She dove in, knowing that it would lead to freedom and, her strength
finally
gone, she'd washed up upon a beach and found Frederigo, evidently
marooned her. She smiled a faint smile as she passed into unconsciousness.
Later, she awakens and both she and Fred head away from the water, into
the woods in a vain hope that they will be able to find some shelter and
signs of civlization.
Instead, they find an elven path that leads deeper and deeper into what
turns out to be the fell Forest of Xythryx, home of strange magics,
monstrous spiders and other less desirable creatures, and often a place
of
no return and tragedy. Fred accidentally walked head on into a nearly
invisible giant web, and Astra had gotten ensnared also as she tried to
get
Fred's sword to drive off the maker of the web.
She SHOULD HAVE remembered this alien memory.
She should have remembered Fred desperately activating a magical ear-ring
that
summoned the wizard (shaman to some of his friends) Pronklezilch.
She should remember tricking the indifferent wizard into helping them
against the
approaching monster spider. She should remember the wizard turning them
into
elves (she and Fred) and leaving them to their own fates, still deep within
the
Woods. She should remember basically everything that is told in episode
7366!.
Should remember meeting strange people and eventual friends. Should remember
meeting an odd person who travels in a blue box that's larger inside than
out
AND travels through time/space and between several universes. She should
remember becoming immortal due to her and several others becoming
Champions to beings called Rules and Agents.
These memories should be coming from her twin from the other time stream,
but
due to the special nature of a Champion, such information is not forthcoming!
On
the conscious level, that is. Some parts do get through.
Most doesn't due to the fact that the Agents and Rules take care of
their own.
They do not allow tampering with their Champion's personal Timeline in
anyway,
shape, or form. In doing this, they protect the very integrity of their
Champions
lives and existence from those who otherwise could reach back into time,
somehow, and erase what is a most vexing obstacle. This protection is
wide and
broad, and even prevents what COULD, if used for other......less benign
and
more malign.....means to majorly screw with their Champions (how, exactly,
is a
tale for latter, if ever).
Instead in memories, Astra is puzzled in the extreme when the arcane
phrase of
ACCESS DENIED!! flashes through her mind as her body tingles and
changes.
She changes. Her child frame blurs and shifts, losing the form of childish
youth
and taking on the curves of majority.....of womanhood. She does not grow
much
in size, for the elves of present day do not grow over four feet in height.
She does
lose a bit of mass as her musculature turns from human to elfin, becoming
stronger
than what her small stature suggests, but much lighter. Her hips widen
and she
finds herself filling out her silk chamise in a manner that has become
routine since
the onset of puberty. Her hair shitfs and changes, grows. But that is
only true for
the hair on her head (elves don't have any body or facial hair of note).
Her hair
takes on the tufted, but beautiful form, that her analog has chosen. She
finds that
her ears wiggle and then grow in size.....then become extremely pointed.
She
revels in the immensity of the new sounds, smells, and sight her vastly
increased
sense bring her....much in excess of anyting she's known before as a mere
human.
She'll find that her reflex have increased dramatically. Shell find that
she needs not
sleep, only rest to regain stamina (sleep is for humans). She'll find
she's unaging
(death only from unnatural causes). She finds her outfit shifts from the
silk chemise
she came in with have changed into the well fitting outfit of green and
brown
leather jerkin, pants, and boots. She'll find her ears have been pierced
and she's
wearing golden hooped ear-rings. She'll find she's equipped with the equipment
that her counterpart is presently carrrying over in what some would call
a
Whoniverse.
Presently, she staggers right now as the transformation reaches in and
begins to
change her mind from human to elfin. The transformation doesn't change
her
fundamental nature. Astra is still Astra, but it's an Astra who's an elf
with a few
human quirks....but will react and act like the elfin lass she now is.
The transformation reaches what some call the "heart." It is not the
organ that
pumps life giving blood. Rather, it reaches into the part of the
mind that feels love.
Her human "heart" changes from human to the fey thing that all elves have.....and
the fey, wild thing reaches out (like it's twin inside the one who had
been called
Astra in another universe before a "shaman" had transformed her).....and
suddenly screams in horror as it finds that it's other part.....the animus
to it's
anima......the other part that is found in this world version of Fred......isn't
where it
thinks it should be!
Astra's heart had mirrored her other sister's heart, and had reached
out to find
Fred's heart and soul......
Problem is, that Fred is back uptime....and is in a bit of a pickle.
The cry of
Astra's elfin heart begins to reach out, magically and psychically, to
find it's other
part....
"Fred...." Astra whispers softly, weakly, as she falls to her knees.
Myrddin, meanwhile, knows very well that something is amiss, and is
fighting
desperately to stop what he thinks is imminent disaster for Astra. Why
isn't his
spell working? He'd said it was a dodgey process, but it seemed to have
been
working....until just a few seconds ago!
A flash of light and a tremendous tug is the last thing that both the
now elfin Astra
and the seer feel as an alerted Rule responds to a frantic alarm caused
by what
appeared to have been tampering.....
Meanwhile, the elfin heart of Astra is still reaching out throughout
time
(piggybacking on the very process that Myridden had been trying to use
in
his search of a timeline to use) and reaches forward.....and finds Fred.
United with her love and with a lovely daughter, she is happy indeed at what she has become.
She joined with Fred in becoming a Champion and tool the name of Kethiani to celebrate her new form.
Lives with her love in the Elven Nation.
