Izzy awakens in a bizarre court populated by grotesque animal/human hybrids who believe her to be the Primatrix Destriianatos, daughter of the Matriax Scalamanthia - a violent matriarch who orders her “daughter” to prepare for her coming wedding. Outside the court, the TARDIS materialises in an urban wasteland festooned with skulls, on a world which isn’t listed in the TARDIS data banks. Fey sets off in search of the real Izzy, but the real Destrii then flees, telling a group of passing peasants that the Doctor is from the castle. The angry peasants attack him, but he is rescued by the leonine Jodafra, Destrii’s uncle, who detected the arrival of the Doctor’s TARDIS. Jodafra is also a scientist who built the chronon capsule that first enabled Destrii to escape Oblivion, and as her test flight has proven that his theories are sound, he needs only a suitable power source in order to escape the planet himself. | [[Izzy Sinclair|Izzy]] awakens in a bizarre court populated by grotesque animal/human hybrids who believe her to be the Primatrix Destriianatos, daughter of the Matriax Scalamanthia - a violent matriarch who orders her “daughter” to prepare for her coming wedding.

Fey enters the palace, where Scalamanthia, assuming that she’s trying to help Destrii escape, orders Helioth and Hassana | Fey enters the palace, where Scalamanthia, assuming that she’s trying to help Destrii escape, orders Helioth and Hassana, the twin energy-based beings who kidnapped Izzy from Kyrol - to destroy the intruder. With Shayde’s guidance, Fey survives the assault and retreats to safety outside the city’s protective dome. Outside the city, the twins are no longer bound to obey the Matriax, and instead they greet Fey as one who is like them, two minds co-existing as one. Fey explains why she’s here, and the twins return to the city to “fix” the broken Destrii. | ||
Destrii learns that this is the day of her wedding and rushes to the palace, unwilling to see her old body destroyed. Izzy is shocked when she’s marched into a killing arena where she must prove her worthiness to wed by fighting a duel to the death with the vengeful Lady Tetronnia. At the last moment the real Destrii arrives and stabs Tetronnia in the back, and then Hassana and Helioth arrive and use their powers to switch Destrii and Izzy’s minds back into their own bodies. In the process, they momentarily share each other’s memories. Destrii sees how Izzy withdrew into herself after learning she was adopted, and was never able to trust herself or reveal her feelings for other girls; Izzy sees how Destrii was punished and abused all her life, forced to fight duels to the death in the arena and treated with reverence and fear by everyone but her uncle Jodafra. | Destrii learns that this is the day of her wedding and rushes to the palace, unwilling to see her old body destroyed.
