On Trenzalore, inside the Doctor's Tomb, in the former Tardis control room where the console used to be, there was a massive temporal anomaly. It used to be a wound in the Doctor's timeline, but that was before he cheated death at the battle of Trenzalore. As a result it became a powerful paradox. It was left untouched for many years, until multiple species discovered it, and started to fight over it. There was an unending battle over it, and the people of Trenzalore were caught in the crossfire, which resulted the loss of many innocent lives. Then the Courier arrived in a Type 40 Tardis, the very Tardis that used to belong to Doctor, until his sudden and mysterious disappearance. The Courier discovered the Tardis in the Mojave Wasteland on Earth, and after unlocking Space flight, he discovered Trenzalore shortly after turning himself into a Time Lord. The Courier eventually was able to stop the fighting by using a Time Lord weapon called the Moment, but instead of using it to kill everyone, he used it to put the battle in a Time Lock. The Courier was able to accomplish it by sacrificing 10 regenerations to the paradox, which made it possible for the Moment to create the Time Lock. Although it prevented him from ever returning to Trenzalore. What he didn't know was that everything has the price and the Moment is no exception...
PrologueTrenzalore: The Doctor's Grave
Everything was calm and quite in the former Tardis control room. The the Paradox in the center started behaving erratically moving chaotically. Suddenly it started glowing a bright yellow and a loud noise similar to the sound of regeneration energy could be heard. Then there was a flash and suddenly, it was quiet again, except, there was a woman in ragged clothing, laying on the floor, close to the Paradox.
Who am I? Was the very first though I ever had. I opened my eyes and the very first thing I saw the paradox. I sat right up and backed away from it. I shouldn't be anywhere near that. I was confused by this, for I didn't know how I knew that. I pondered on how I knew that. Then I gained memories, and knowledge, but there was...something, wrong with it. This isn't mine. Who's is it? It belonged to someone. I concentrated It belonged to the⦠Doctor. That name brought up an emotion, anger. Anger at the Doctor. Why? Why anger? What did the Doctor do to me? Then I remembered. How the Doctor after discovering that I was hiding on Trenzalore, came back and used the Paradox to erase me. That's when I remembered my name, remembered who I am. I am the...Valeyard.
