First Life
The Capitol, Gallifrey
It was the beginning of an incredible night on the continent of Wild Endeavour, and as the glorious main star set behind the mountains of Solace and Solitude, a scream erupted over the Capitol, rapidly muffled by the hand of a women dressed in an outfit that stuck out like a sore thumb next to the long red and gold robes worn by every other Gallifreyan inhabitant, even those hailing from other planets.
"Do you want every Castellan and Commander this side of Mount Perdition to know you're here?" hissed Leela, instantly feeling guilty as she looked at the sorry excuse for a Timelady lying beside her, whimpering in pain as another contraction racked through her body. "I'm sorry, Romana, but I can't help being worried, can you imagine what would happen if the High Council discovered this, what they would do to the child, of course I will do my best to protect you and the child, but there's only so much that Janis Thorns can do".
The Timelady on the floor, weakened by the pain of labour, tried to nod in an attempt to reassure her only friend, but her head lolled to the side, Leela was so naïve, the council would already know she was here, they knew everything happening in the whole of the seven systems, but they were keeping their distance, this though, only made Romana more scared for herself and for the baby. She had tried to stay away from Gallifrey, but in the end when she first felt the pain of labour and nearly fell to the floor, she knew she would need help.
Hours later, after the birth, she had barely enough time to write a note for the child, a girl, whom she had named Katrithetarelundar, and in the nick of time seal it with an isomorphic lock before the pain caught up with her, and she regenerated.
While she was unconscious after the strain of regeneration, a group of castellans arrived to take her, Leela and the sleeping infant, wrapped up in a plain white bed sheet, away in different directions, the Timelady in the direction of the High Council, the child and Leela towards a house where Leela and her Husband Andred were to guide her through infancy.
