Here's a new story based on a question from a friend about a character I introduced in Alternities: New Beginning. It runs parallel to Alternities and does involve Rose and the Doctor. Enjoy!
BTW – I do not own Doctor Who, but love the inspiration the show has provided!
Please review!
Prologue
When the Lord President of the High Council asked me to commemorate the life of Mai Li, I considered the task set before me. She touched many with her visions and saved countless lives. Her training was unconventional in that the bulk of her training took place on Earth and not here on Gallifrey under the tutelage of another universe's Doctor and a unique young woman named Rose Tyler. Mai Li had a true gift and used it to the benefit of all life. She was unassuming, although she knew how important and rare her talents were.
Ultimately, she was human and she never lost that gift of humanity in all of her long life. Her life with Rose and the Doctor shows that they thought it important that she never lose her humanity as well.
In assembling her memoirs, which she would never have approved in life, entries from the journals she kept throughout her life are used, augmented where possible with recordings of the actual events from both her memories and public records within the matrix. (It turns out that my gift of the memory recorder was useful after all.) The Doctor understood what it was and actually helped her to learn to use it as a tool to record her visions. I must thank him for that when next I see him although I think the only reason they ever came back to Gallifrey at all was to see Mai Li.
She lived a fruitful life and bore several children – such a gift to us all! – to her only husband, Lucianistalaxipetalinon.
I have tried to select those journal entries, memories, and records that are relevant to her story.
