Sorry for the long time away. I am back and ready for action. Or time traveling. Something like that. Thank you for your reviews. Feel free to write reviews, it's the way I know I have people who actually care about this story.


Leliana laughed as the Doctor strided in with red and blue glasses.

"What are those?" Leliana asked.

"Well, they're usually known as 3D glasses. How come you don't know what they are?" The Doctor paused with a finger in the air, "Ah! That's right, you guys have absolutely no technological advancements."

"We have magic, isn't that enough. I mean your people can't start a fire without rubbing two sticks together for an hour." Leliana taunted.

"Oh, humans in my dimension have lighters and flamethrowers. Our electronics are our magic."

"Good luck with those. Where are we going next?" Leliana asked.

"I don't know. But we could go to a party. Apparently Duke Prosper threw an amazing party, but unfortunately the 'Champion of Kirkwall' and a 'Qunari elf' stole something."

"Qunari elf? Where have I heard of that before." said Leliana, "And where are you finding all this information, do you have like an encyclopedia?"

"The TARDIS tells me more than any book ever could. But books are useful."

"Back in Orlais, we had this wonderful library. It was big, huger than Kirkwall's Chantry. It was amazing. Too bad it's gone now. We could revisit it." Leliana smiled.

"But right now, we party – Orlesian style!" the Doctor shouted, pulling back a throttle and turning a dial. He leaped over to the other side, typing a bit on the computer and then running back to the throttle. Leliana tried to keep up with him and see how he piloted the TARDIS, but with all the buttons she just gave up.

Once the TARDIS landed they both got out.

"Isn't that going to stand out? Can't you just disguise it?" Leliana suggested.

"Nope, chameleon circuit still stuck. I could fix it but, come on, look at that beauty."

Leliana rolled her eyes, and then ran back into the TARDIS. The Doctor just stood there for a second, until she came back out in a pink gown.

"I'm ready. Let's go enjoy the festivities." Leliana said. They saw the Wyvern in the cage and two people, a human and an elf walking suspiciously door to door.

"Is that the Champion?" asked Leliana.

"Don't you recognize 'em? By the way, the elf is named Tallis. Act like you know her, people have said that you know her, and said hi to her at this party." the Doctor explained.

"If I don't know her after the Champion had disappeared, than how do I know her at this time period?"

"It's hard to explain, I just-" the Doctor looked to his left, and saw the Champion and Tallis. He walked away quickly.

"The Champion of Kirkwall. This is an honor indeed." she said, she was so excited to talk to the Champion before the events of the mage rebellion. Tallis walked over and smiled at Leliana, as if they were friends. "Uh... Tallis?"

"Leliana!" she exclaimed. "It's so... lovely to see you again." her voice got lower, as if she realized she did something wrong.

Leliana knew she had to say something nice. If she really was supposed to know her, she had to keep up appearances, "You look... stunning this evening. You're hair is darling. Did you do it yourself?"

"I get the distinct impression you've met before." the Champion groaned.

"Oh briefly... a long time ago."

"You meet all sorts of people in Orlais. It keeps life exciting." Leliana smiled, trying to convince Tallis that they knew each other. Leliana was happy that she had a chance to put her bard training to use.

"Well I'm glad you two had this chance to chat." The Champion smiled walking away.

"Yes it was very... fortuitous. We shouldn't take up more of your time. I'm sure you have things that need attention... right now."

"That was awkward." Leliana said to herself.
"Don't ask. Time is a bit crazy. You had to do that, or else something might've turned out differently and you could've caused a time paradox. They're going to sneak around at night, get caught, nearly die, and escape in time for breakfast." the Doctor laughed, "She reminds me of this girl on tv. When I was parked in the 21st Century I watched all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and there was this actress named Felicia Day in it. Tallis sounds a lot like her... Oh I wish I could've met her at least once." the Doctor laughed.

"Well anyway, aren't we going to do something fun! Let's go on a walk." Leliana grinned.

They tread through the forest, and were casually talking about old adventures they had.

"There was this one time with Schmooples, my pet nug, I accidentally fed him Mabari Crunch, and he nearly choked on it and died. It was a bit funny afterwards, but Morrigan-"

"What's that?" the Doctor stopped her.

"I've never seen an egg like that before, and I used to know somebody who studied them." Leliana said, looking closer.

The egg was about the size of a hand, and was completely black.

"No... no no no." The Doctor said inching back.

"What is it?" Leliana asked.

The black egg began shaking and began to crack. It shimmered as a grey, qunari sized robot came out.

"Leliana..." the Doctor said.

"What are you?" Leliana asked.

"Identify yourself." the robot ordered.

"I am Leliana." she said.

"Those are Cybermen. They're probably more interested in killing you, now I'd run." the Doctor said.

"No, he's harmless!" Leliana said, looking closer.

"Do not belittle us, tiny human." the Cyberman said.

"Leliana, there is a reason they're here, and a reason why it's now, but for the moment, run!" the Doctor said, taking off.

"You will be deleted!" the Cyberman yelled raising his arm.

Leliana turned around and began to run, and realized the Doctor dropped his sonic screwdriver. She picked it up and ran with it in her hand. She fumbled with it in her hand, trying to find the button. Once she found it she looked behind her. Still running, she pressed the button, and the sonic whirred into effect. She knew the Doctor used it with his thoughts, so she thought of the Cyberman's legs malfunctioning. She let go the button and slapped it against her hands and asked herself, "Why isn't this working?"

Leliana stopped dead in her tracks and faced the Cyberman. It walked toward her and once it was about a few feet away, Leliana pointed it at the Cyberman and pressed the button. She closed her eyes and imagined the Cyberman falling over, pulling at it's legs. As she opened her eyes, the Cyberman's legs began to spark, and he fell over on his side.

"Malfunctioning! Malfunctioning!" the Cyberman yelled while thrashing his arms.

"Leliana! GET HIS WRIST!" yelled the Doctor running back towards her.

The Cyberman raised his wrist at Leliana, but quickly pressed the button and aimed it at the weapon, disabling it.

"I'll take that." the Doctor said.

"If it's so easy to use, why can't I have one?" Leliana asked.

"Because, you can't, now help me with this thing." the Doctor knelt down in front of the Cyberman, who was still yelling "Delete! Delete!" The Doctor drew the sonic along the sides of the center circular plate.

"What is that?" Leliana asked.

"Cyberman. They're humans, humans who no longer have emotion." The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to scan the robot, and his eyes got wide.

"What is it?"

"The egg originated somewhere on this planet, which means these are any of the Cybermen I've encountered. Somebody from your dimension developed this.

"It can't be. We don't have much technology. Our most advanced things has to be magic and crossbows." Leliana said.

"Maybe I should make you your own sonic screwdriver." the Doctor huffed, standing up.

"Is this bad?" asked Leliana.

"Yes!" the Doctor shouted, "Yes! It is bad! These things killed a lot of people and have caused me to lose people I love. People could already be dead and we don't know why. I don't get the Cybermen could be in this dimension unless... they could've followed the TARDIS and ended up here too, or they could've set me off course, or it may be completely unrelated, but still..."

"Is there anything we can do right now?" asked Leliana.

"We need to get back to the TARDIS," the Doctor determined, "It's quite possible this egg has been here for quite some time, or maybe it just arrived. We should return here in the past.

"Who's Tallis?" Leliana asked as they walked back.

"I have no idea. But on the TARDIS computer, there was a book written about someone. I can't say who though, and it mentioned you at the party and mentioned that you knew Tallis personally, at least by the way you spoke to her." the Doctor said.

"Why would that be a fixed point in time. It doesn't make sense. It has no purpose, me acting like I know Tallis."

"Like I said, if it is a fixed point in time, there is probably an important reason. Plus, since they were robbing, one second differences could be the difference between them getting caught and a time paradox. Time works in strange ways, and is in no way linear. Let's say I'm alone and in danger a long time ago. You go back and save me, but the thing is I haven't met you yet. I haven't known you yet. But if you didn't save me, I never would have met you, yet it still happened."

"I still don't understand."

"You probably won't, but at least you're trying." the Doctor smiled to comfort her.

Once they got to the TARDIS the Doctor faced Leliana.

"If the Cybermen indeed deliberately made me come here, or if they followed me, or if they're after me, we're in danger. You should have this." The Doctor handed her a key on a thin rope, "It's a key to the TARDIS and I think you should have it."

"This is such an honor! Thank you for bestowing upon me this great trust and gift." Leliana said as she hung the key around her neck.

"Don't get all mushy on me, now open it!"

Leliana smiled as she took the key off her neck, plunged it into the lock, and gave it a good twist. Her smile widened as she opened the TARDIS and went inside.

"Good job!" The Doctor grinned, closing the door behind him as he made his way to the console. The Doctor typed things into his computer, and smiled, "It'll take only about two hours for it to continue scanning the planet to find any other signs of the Cybermen. I should be able to locate a source of it or something. I think I've amplified it's power to be able to identify it it's origin through it's first appearance in a timeline."

"A timeline?"

"Yes, because if I tracked it to it's earliest known appearance, it could just be somebody holding up a Cyberman part who had a vortex manipulator and made it back to the stone age."

"It can do that?"

"I think, I'm not sure. I just trust that it will... Uh... oh..." The Doctor said at the screen. "It isn't working... I think it's time." the Doctor grabbed a few tools and began to work."

"What are you doing?" asked Leliana.

"If you truly are the only person in this dimension I trust right now, and you also know this dimension a bit better than I do besides a few points, so I think I should give you a sonic screwdriver. Just so you know, you're the second person I've ever given a sonic screwdriver to. Actually you're the first... so far. Long story." The Doctor said going to work, "Now, what's something light and concealable, that you could carry around here and nobody would know, it could be anything!"

"Shoes! I love shoes." Leliana smiled.

"There's no such thing as sonic shoes what do you do, click your heals and lift your foot up."

Leliana's eyes widened.

"Stop it!" the Doctor said.

"Fine, fine. But what would I use. I mean a sonic dagger is a bit bulky. A sonic arrow is a bit impractical. I mean what do you think?"

"I give up." the Doctor said, "But we have to just keep going, and we can't do anything but wait. If we go back before the egg was placed there we might accidentally make the egg not show up there. We have to let the Cybermen catch up with us. It's all we can do. So where do you want to go next, I'll build your sonic screwdriver later."

"Well," Leliana said, "Why don't you pick."

"I want to go to the future." the Doctor said, "But we have to watch out. You're no common citizen, you've a bit instrumental, so you have to avoid spoilers. Once you know you're going to win you automatically slack off. If you slack off during a war you get dead and change time. Not a good thing. But oh well, maybe finding out spoilers is what makes you fight harder and win, who am I to know. Ha, let's go!" the Doctor said as he began scurrying around the TARDIS spinning buttons.

The TARDIS shook as it entered the Time Vortex, and then a voice came out.

A big, ambient, loud voice echoed "You. Are. Not. Alone."

Suddenly the TARDIS was stuck, and the Doctor and Leliana were thrashed to the ground. The Doctor ran out of the room and soon came back with two things.

"Take these, you'll need them." the Doctor handed her the blaster first, "Sonic Blaster, it can be used against enemies. I've also made it so it has more power, so you should be safe to use it like a sonic screwdriver. If this is an attack by the Cybermen to throw us off course, it's likely we'll be split up. Which means you'll need this." he grabbed her wrist and wrapped it around, "A vortex manipulator. Lift up the flap and you can program in a year to travel to. If we get separated and you can't find me, you should go back to a time when you found me and do what you were doing before you met me. It also can teleport, you'll need that. Now be careful."

The Doctor opened the door and saw out of the corner of his eye Cybermen with blue ribbons wrapped around their ankles.

"They've stabilized themselves to fly through the Time Vortex, this is a lot worse than we thought. We have to find out what has happened.

"What do we do?" Leliana asked.

"We jump at one of them, it's the only way to know what could've happened. Get to one of them, scan their memory bank. As long as these aren't deadlocked than we're safe. Allons-y!" the Doctor said, jumping out of the TARDIS at the Cybermen. The Cybermen still chasing the TARDIS ran right into him, and the Doctor veered the Cyberman he landed on away from the group's formation. It went out of Leliana's line of sight and she saw the rest of the Cybermen's raising their arm. They all shot at once, hitting the side of the TARDIS. Leliana closed the doors so she wouldn't fall out as the TARDIS was flung to the side. She opened the TARDIS door and saw herself in a large bathroom. She closed the door of the TARDIS behind her and looked in the mirror.

"Where is he?" she asked.

She opened the door and walked outward only to be yelled at by an elf.

"Great job! That's what they get for relying on a human for the new help."

"New help?" Leliana asked.

"Did you get drunk and just wake up here. Now take this dish." the elf ordered.

"To where?"

"To King Alistair's bedroom."

"King Alistair?"


Hope you liked this chapter. As I said before, your reviews and kind words are my inspiration to go on. Honestly I was thinking about giving up with this story for a little bit but then after writing this chapter I realized how much potential this had. I've tried writing chapter 2 for awhile now, but this chapter is the only one that made (a little bit of) sense.

Draft 1: Leliana visits the Battle of Kirkwall and is instrumental in it's ending. I had already started writing it before uploading chapter 1 but I decided to just make them visit it for a second in chapter 1.

Draft 2: Leliana and the Doctor go back to watch Leliana get betrayed by Marjolaine but get stuck in a type of Time Paradox. What was supposed to happen was that you were supposed to find out Marjolaine never was going to betray Leliana but stabbed her to end the Time Paradox and set her on the direction to the Warden. Due to the Time Paradox it changed Marjolaine personality into the hardened betrayer. I know it doesn't make sense, that's why I scrapped it. Especially because it was a lot of older Leliana said younger Leliana said.

If you truly are enjoying this and are reading this, please leave a review. Reviews only take a minute to do and they really do encourage me to go on.

Hope to see you next chapter! By the way, I rushed while proofing this one, so please if I made any mistakes please tell me and I will edit. Thank you!
