Prologue

The waves of Time and Space lap at the beaches of our progress all too often. You move past all you thought you once were, only to regress. There's sadness, fear, anger, and acceptance. But you stay strong, pushing forward. Life isn't a straight path, much like time. It's open like space and spreads far and wide with infinite possibilities.

Don't fret if the waves haven't reached you yet. Either they find you, or you find them.

"Why must you make me wait?" a sorrowful Woman with heavy green eyes and tanned skin asked, her Gallifreyan garb flowing behind her.

"This all you will do after what you've done," another Woman with burning amber eyes and pale skin replied, her anger seething as she moved toward a War TARDIS. "A great ferocity is untapped. One brought on by the mistakes of our past. You must be here, ready for him to arrive. He'll want the one thing that can undo it."

"But you know what that means," the sorrowful Woman replied. "My connection to the Greater Key! When he enters the vault he'll be killed by — "

The Angry Woman raised a metal gauntlet that held a glowing staff. "You will do exactly as I've told you, should you wish to see him one final time. Should you wish to undo it you will say and do everything I've said." She scowled. "This is but a mercy, a mercy that is a mere predecessor to the horrors that await us when the War starts. I must seek out what was lost before we can face our Enemies. Both old and new."

"Quite," the Sorrowful Woman said, defeated. "I'll await his arrival."

The door to the War TARDIS slid open, and Time Lord Soldiers moved out to await the Angry Woman. "Lord President," a Soldier addressed.

"You are merely a Keeper to me," the Angry Woman exclaimed, eyes set upon the Sorrowful Woman. "After all you represent, you are lucky you don't find yourself in the Chamber Lanes with her."

The Angry Woman strode into the War TARDIS, followed by the Soldiers. Standing there, the Sorrowful Woman felt the waves of Dematerialization Circuits from thousands of War TARDISes crash into her as they all leapt into the Time Vortex.

For a moment, the Sorrowful Woman felt her hearts drop. The implications. Something was coming. An anger that all will feel. A predecessor to what will tear this Universe apart.

Chapter 1 — Sorrow

Explosions racketed around the failing ship, sending debris and the walls of safety off into the vacuum of space.

A figure cut through the fragments, leaping forward to hold onto a bit of the ship's framing. It was a strange figure, wearing a long green patterned coat adorned with a Robot Yeti lapel pin, a groovy mock-neck cream sweater, and some nice corduroy pants. It seemed though the figure was having some trouble with his Particulate-Formed Space Helmet.
