In the [[2010s]], Harry and [[Naomi Clarke|Naomi]] are working for UNIT after the [[Fourth Doctor]] returned them to [[Earth]] more than thirty years after their own time. Harry decides to investigate the matter of [[elf]]-like creatures encountered by [[Harper (London Orbital)|Harper]] and a woman behind a vanishing wall in [[Clerkenwell tube station]], believing them to be connected to the [[massacre]] at 17 Foxworth Drive. Back in the day, Harry had reported the bodies he had found there to the authorities, but the house had completely vanished by the time they arrived and the house numbers reshuffled. He looked into it and came into contact with [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]], who hired him as UNIT's [[medical officer]]. | In the [[2010s]], Harry and [[Naomi Clarke|Naomi]] are working for UNIT after the [[Fourth Doctor]] returned them to [[Earth]] more than thirty years after their own time.

Harry and Naomi go to Clerkenwell and speak with Harper and the woman, who describe the sense of dread they felt as they approached the wall and show them the patterned [[tile]]s they found on the other side. They see the swordsman chasing the [[foreman (London Orbital)|foreman]] over a monitor and Naomi calls the [[police]] whilst Harry goes to help, but the foreman is shot in the arm with an [[arrow]].

Having read the UNIT files, the two of them know who he is and tell him what has happened. | The Doctor realises who he has just saved and is surprised to see how young Harry and Naomi look.

The Doctor, Harry and Naomi step through the wall, which the Doctor explains is an [[Álfar]] enchantment vulnerable to [[iron]] and [[wood]] which can be removed if the pattern drawn on the tiles is erased. The Álfar live in [[Realm of the Álfar|a realm]] connected to Earth and have their own [[science]] which is indistinguishable from [[magic]], a concept that Naomi struggles with. She and Harry tell the Doctor about how he left them in the wrong century and he promises to make returning them his priority once this situation is dealt with. | |||
The trio find an abandoned [[Dökkálfar]] settlement and are followed by the police. The Doctor escapes on a [[boat]] on the [[canal]] whilst Harry and Naomi are arrested for wasting police time, the security footage having shown Harry fighting with thin air on the platform. They are taken by [[Sarya]] to an impossible [[garden]] in a [[skyscraper]] and brought before [[Agrandir]], the Elf-King of London, who tells them that his people are the [[Ljósálfar]] and that he lost his son, [[Balmaris]], to the Dökkálfar. Harry recognises a portrait of Balmaris as the man he saw at the hospital in the [[20th century]]. | |||
Knowing that the Doctor wants to prevent a war, Naomi advises Agrandir not to fight the Dökkálfar, but he commands her and Harry not to interfere. As Sarya prepares to drive the two of them to [[UNIT HQ]], she is killed by the swordsman, [[invisibility|invisible]] to the other [[human]]s, and Harry and Naomi are surrounded by Dökkálfar. | |||
