"Uh, I don't know."

"I hope to see all of it as well," She smiled brightly to him showing she was hopeful for his words, but unsure if they would come true. She lowered her hands slowly and chuckled. "Come, follow me, I will show something I can only hope you haven’t seen yet…" 

She stepped out onto the water and where her feet touched the surface, the water froze over at the touch of her feet. She put her hand out to him and smiled brightly.  ------------------------------------------------------

An awed smile spread across the Doctor’s face as she stepped across the water. He took her hand and felt like a child instead of the thousand-year-plus creature that he was, carefully daring to step across after her and hoping dearly that he wasn’t going to slip over on his face. He wondered what it would be that she was to show him. It was bound to be better than a Dalek this time.

----------------------------------------------------------

A kind of current passed through his finger tips as soon as he had touched her. She smiled brightly as his feet touched the water only to do the same as hers was doing. Keeping hold of his hand, she walked with them out to the center of the lake towards the waterfall. 

"Look down…and tread lightly." She whispered.

Below there feet, the wild like was glowing in some sort of reaction to the light around them, the farther down, the more intense the glow. Fish glue all different types of colors, plant life swirled together like a painting. Along with the ripples of the water, it all most looked like water colors out of an old style piece at a museum somewhere. Larger animals towards the surface circled closer to their feet where they stood curious of the temperature and the odd light it gave off.

Their current position also changed the outlook about the surface of the water. Things were heard better, the sounds off the waterfall amplified the air and showed him a new perspective. The winds played a better song, the butterflies danced to the tune, the soft echoes of the birds chimed along, giving him a since of true peace.

Gomon closed her eyes listening to it all, has she had done many times before. This was the result of the power she had brought to the world. Landing in this crater that had created such a beauty and wonder tuned her into the planet, into its true nature of things. This brought her to an understanding not many get from the universe and should have been dubbed as a fluke in the timeline. No where else in his travels would this even be listed as existing in history.

--------------------------------------------

Mouth half open in concentration, the Doctor wobbled after her upon the lake’s surface. He wasn’t a particularly graceful incarnation except when he was focusing on an art such as dancing or playing at sport. His eyes grew wide at the sight of the colour display beneath their feet, an old acquaintance certainly springing to mind. My friend, now I think I can see the things you see. Tears collected in his eyes - a rare thing these days for a Gallifreyan to do so from joy, but the power from this place tugged at his hearts and seeped into his skin. It was almost too much for his psychic sensitivities.

"I almost never want to leave…" he breathed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is the way my world once looked, graceful, beautiful. Until the rise of Ryu, the planet was taken over by war and destroyed by his greed. When I came here, part of my home came with me and grew within the crater I made." She looked down at her feet seeing the yellow glowing fishes curiously watching their foot steps. 

She smiled before looking up at the Doctor. Her hands still holding onto his. “Only Coraw, Alacard, and Draco have been able to come into this place, and now you…It’ll be under all of yours protection after I am gone.”

If there ever was a possibility she wouldn’t make it through, she would leave it all to them. Although she had promised to do her best to get through it to go with him, to see the wonders he had spoke of.

(And that is where we left off, remember the lake? I hope you do lol)

His hand squeezed hers gently. "You will return to this place, Gomon, and I shall protect it even if I cannot always stay near in person. I promise, and I always take my promises seriously." Even when I so often break them by mistake. "Thank you for making me a part of this. I am honoured to have seen it."

The Doctor continued to stare in awed fascination at the waters and the life they sheltered.

He settled the blanket more snugly about them, letting her rest against him. “Yes, yes I would, and when I do, there is so much I’d like to show you. This me, I’m afraid I’m a little bit scarce. Waiting times for adventures can be a nuisance, but there are plenty of me’s about in the meantime who I’m sure can help. Plus -,” he tapped the side of her head, “there’ll be one of me in there, and he can take you anywhere you like whenever you like. I may exist in another’s mind, but that doesn’t have to mean I’m not real. I’m talking to you, ain’ I? But yes, I will take you and/or Holly. As for stories..” The Doctor puffed his cheeks. “So many to tell. It’s vast and empty, and yet beautiful and filled with chaos and patterns and cultures and sunrises and tiny, wonderful civilizations. There are kingdoms built on music, cathedrals beneath oceans, caves carved out of diamonds, and amazing, ordinary, extraordinary, struggling and fascinating peoples. More than even I will ever see.. but we can go catch a glimpse. Wha’d’you say?”
