"That's me and Gilmuriel!" E'ysha whispered. "Back before we were transformed
into elves!" The elves then give encapsulated stories about themselves.
Gilmuriel and E'ysha had been humans named Fred and Astra on their version
of Terra before running afoul from a mad mage and then teleported to Terra
Prime (re: 7366 and 7376 ). Elrondir and B'ellana relate their stories
(re: 7377 and 7379).
That then lead up to the revelation about magic and Dr. Who learning
about the arcane arts from Sigin and a few other dragons. Protest at this
being absurd are silenced by the same equation that had astonished several
other Doctors. The Fourth Doctor just stares at the equation, and then
begins to laugh in delight. Romana looks a bit.....stunned.
"Jelly baby or crackers?" Dr. Who offers the young Time Lady and the
Fourth Doctor, at a bit of a loss on how to exactly help here with this
young woman who looks like her world has been turned topsy turvy.
The Fourth Doctor pauses and then shakes his head at the befuddled look
Romana gives Dr. Who.
"No thanks for the first," the Fourth Doctor smiles as he places a comforting
hand on Romana's shoulder, "As for the second.....only sometimes."
"Similar line from the show with that last crack," Inquirer mutters
as she goes over to a door nearby while the others quietly discuss the
next best course of action (with inputs from Betty and Ragan).
She then makes a shushing noise, pointing towards the door.
In the next room, a council chamber, several Council Members seem to
be talking to somebody.....called the Master!
Something about the evil Time Lord going into the Death Zone and rescuing
the Doctor......
-
Meanwhile,
back in the Death Zone with the First Doctor and his companions and such.....
Go Back
