Preface: The End
Peril. The Doctor had heard the word many times before, he had even taken part in creating it, but never before had the Doctor ever really thought about its definition.
Loss. Destruction. Grave risk. Jeopardy. Danger.
Now, with his daughter dying at his side and a piece of shrapnel digging into his skin, dangerously close to one of his hearts, the Doctor knew the meaning of the word only too well. He had tried to save everyone, to keep them all safe, but only now was the Doctor realizing that it would be impossible to continue his balancing act between preserving the universe and protecting it. Everything comes to and end.
