A Forgotten Language
Every single word in the alternate language is completly made up by me. This is a mix of Gallifrey Falls and Sander Sides. If you have not read my book, Gallifrey Falls: It has Just Began..., then you will not understand what is going on. Thank you.
********************
Roman's POV:
I was looking around in my room for a certain paper that I had written down a brilliant idea. I was looking under my desk when I saw a strange envelope out of the corner of my eye.
I picked it up tentivly. It was quite old and worn and crinkled in my hands. How did it get here? I certainly never put it here. I opened it carefully, curious about what could be it's contents.
It contained a long paper. It was explaining how to speak an entire language. I wondered what language, but then I saw a faint scrible of 'How to Read and Speak Ancient Gallifreyian'.
Ancient Gallifreyian? Never even heard of that language before. I decided to study it, forgetting about my previous search.
A couple weeks later, I could speak 'Ancient Gallifreyian' fluently, thanks to studying hard. I was gonna blow the others away. I popped into the real world.
"Hey Thomas! I just came up with an idea for a video!" I told him, excited.
"What?" He asked me. "What if you did a video about different languages from around the globe? You'd be honoring people who don't speak in English!" I told him.
He nodded. "That will work. Thanks, Roman." He said. I nodded and sank into my bedroom to study more. I couldn't be more excited.
Kelly's POV:
I was finishing off some breakfast when I felt a tugging feeling in my chest. I groaned. Why did Thomas have to start filming a video now?
I sighed and appeared in my normal place, leaning against the wall between the TV and the stairs. Roman was already there, while Logan, Patton, and Virgil were coming up.
I murmured a greeting towards the sides. Logan greeted me as well, then turned around when Patton cracked a dad joke. It was something about a doctor hating pears, but I didn't really listen.
Thomas explained that we were talking about different languages to contribute to the people watching who couldn't speak English. We found out that Logan could speak Spanish, Patton could speak French, and Virge could speak (and curse) in Gaelic.
After a little, Roman's turn had come. He looked excited. More excited than on average, I'd say. He then began somehow speaking in... Ancient Gallifreyian?! "¤◇€ ◇¥€'▪ ♧₩■■•♤¥ □♤●》€ ¥♧♤■《?" He asked smugly.
"Wha- how- what was that?" Thomas asked. I gasped. "Impossible. There's no way you could.... He asked if you could understand him." I translated gingerly, winning a shocked look from Roman.
Roman's POV:
I spoke in Ancient Gallifreyian smugly. Right after, I had a vision. A memory from a long time ago played in my mind. A planet floating in the sky called Gallifrey. Three siblings surrounded by war. Two sisters that looked alike. A dead brother.
I came out of the vision, but before I did I saw a glimpse of an old photo. Two girls that looked so much like each other. One with brown eyes, one with bright green. Just like Kelly. And a brother. Somehow I knew all three could speak Ancient Gallifreyian, their main language. A voice spoke in my head.
I realized Kelly was explaining what I said. She turned back to me. "¥●♧ 》◇▪¤《 《♤¡□¤ ♡●£¡♤¤◇." She stated. "What language is that?" Logan asked.
"Ancient Gallifreyian. Roman, that language is long gone and long forgotten, as well as the people who spoke it. How di-" "You're still around. That language is gone, yes, but not completely, because you still remember it and speak it." I said cutting her off.
Kelly's eye widened. "How do you even know about them? They were destroyed so long ago that no living mortal could possibly remember-" She began to ask, before cutting herself off.
"Wait, mortals?! Only someone who wasn't human would say that!" Exclaimed Thomas. For the first and hopefully last time in my life, I ignored him and answered Kelly's question.
"Right before now, I had a vision. There was a fiery orange-gold planet floating in the sky. Next I saw three siblings. A brother and two sisters. The sisters looked exactly alike, the only major difference between being their eye colors. One set of eyes were chocolate brown, while the other set was bright green, just like yours.
"Somehow, a voice spoke in my mind and explained that your planet was called Gallifrey. It said that Ancient Gallifreyian was their main language.
That's how you know it. Because you're a gallifreyian, in fact one of the last." I explained.
Kelly looked baffled. Then her shoulders slumped. I suddenly regretted it, but I couldn't take it back. Not now. The other sides exchanged confused and worried looks.
"You're right. I'll tell ya my story, but it's quite long and no walk in the park." She said. Thomas nodded. "Guys, that wraps up this video, I guess. See ya later, guys, gals, and non-binary pals!" He said to the camera then turned it off.
Kelly's POV:
I can't believe I'm doing this. Welp. Here goes nothing. "Long ago, there was a planet called Gallifrey. It's people were called Gallifreyians and were known as the strongest race in the universe, as they each had two hearts. There were some gallifreyians who had 12 lives instead of one. These were called Timelords. A planet that floated near was called Skaro. A man named Davoros took the people on the planet and turned them into machines called Daleks, each one connected to his life source. One day, the Daleks attacked the gallifreyians without warning or mercy.
"The gallifreyians were peaceful and would much rather make peace than fight a war. But the Daleks attacked and a war called the Time War started. I was born on the first day. Two years after me, my sister, Ruby, was born. And three years after her, there was my brother, Cal. Anyway, our dad was always away fighting in the war, so when we were older, we were trained to fight and each of us got our own weapons. Me, a sword. Ruby, a bow (and arrows). Cal, a spear. I was also given a dagger, which transforms into the ring I wear. We fought in the war for many years, then Cal...... died.... I took his scarf to remember him by. One day, Gallifrey exploded, with me, Ruby, and our two new sisters escaping. We landed here, on Earth about 7,000 years ago. We set up camp in our new world. Then one night, me and Ruby had a fight. We slept apart. Then a dark figure came in the night and put a spell on them, a curse. Their eyes turned red as fire. They lost their memories, replaced with hatred for me and my last sister.
"The next day, I heard screaming coming from a nearby clearing. I came to see what happened, but I didn't see anything but a empty clearing. A few days later, a glowing, exhausted woman stumbled into my camp. I gave her some food and a place to sleep and she explained that she was searching for her lost daughter. She said her name was Demeter. I told her my story and she explained about the Greek Gods and the basics of your planet. Seasons, for instance. I promised I'd help her find her daughter.
"When she went to Zeus, I came as well. He asked who I was. I gave him the short version. Afterward, I explained my entire story to the twelve Olympians. I became a friend to them, even got a place on Mount Olympus for me and my sister. I trained her to fight just like our mother trained me. When Typhon, a storm giant who's head scraped the sky, struck, all the gods ran except foe Me, Carly and Zeus. He easily defeated Zeus, leaving only me and my sister to fight. Though his head scraped the sky, we fought. This didn't last long, though. We were the size of regular mortals. He had the main advantage and my sister and I were forced to retreat. Later, we helped trick and defeat Typhon.
"Years later, I looked down and saw two races, human and monster, fighting against each other in war. I knew this was not the monster's choice, as their king, Asgore, was very kind to humans and would not attack without good reasoning. I asked Zeus if we could help them fight or stop the war. He said that we couldn't play with fate. His reasoning was if the humans died, then no one would honor the gods. I got mad and fought in the war on the side of monsters in it. But only after three days, the humans won, and the monsters were locked away with a magic spell. When I returned, Zeus kicked me and my sister out of Olympus because I had disobeyed his orders.
"Afterwards, me and my sister went to Gravity Falls for sixty years. 4 years before we left Gravity Falls, I met a man named Stanford Pines. He had a rare birth defect, six fingers on each hand and had been bullied and beat up for it when he was younger. In fact, any time I entered the room without him knowing, he would instinctively hide his hands behind his back when I suprised him.
"I helped him with his research in Gravity Falls. Four years later, me and Carly had to leave Gravity Falls. We lived in an abandoned shack on a hill. One day, we went into New York and tried to steal food from a castle. But we were caught. I could've easily killed the mortals and take over the castle. But I knew they didn't deserve it. Before we could explain, they knocked us out and took away our memories. We believed that we were princesses of their kingdom. I only got my memories back because I fell off a rollercoaster and it, quite literally, knocked some sense into me. All of my memories flooded back faster than you could snap your fingers.
"I woke up in a hospital bed with my returned memories. I started crying because those memories came so suddenly, it was like a punch in the face. Carly didn't remember at all and helped me. I tried to speak, but I couldn't because my throat was damaged from my fall. Therefore, I couldn't yell at my 'parents', though I tried. Carly found the cure for my throat, but I didn't yell or scream at the queen and king. Not the best idea to yell in a room full of patients. They never figured out that I knew. In the meanwhile, my other friends, Carly, and I keep getting attacked by Ruby. But my friends thought, and still think, that Ruby was my clone. And that Cally, who had grown up, was Carly's evil clone.
"It's been a few years since I remembered, and I know Carly should know who she is, was, but I don't want it to come at her all at once." I finished, taking a deep breath. I wasn't prepared for a suprise hug from Patton. "I'm- we're sorry that happened to you. You should have never had to go through that." He explained. I patted his back, but then Vir- Anxiety hugged me too.
"Bit clingy, aren't we?" I asked them, but hugged back. They went back to their original spots. Roman raised his eyebrow at the negative trait. "I didn't take you for being one to touch, let alone hug someone." He explained.
Anx blushed slightly. "Eh. I'm not evil. And as much as I don't like physical contact, when someone has a story like that, it's kinda hard not to want to hug them." He explained, shrugging. Roman looked suprised by this answer.
"But Kelly. Did you ever see Gallifrey not in war?" Anx asked, turning to me. "No. I was born on the first day of the war and it ended only when Gallifrey exploded. I never got to see Gallifrey at peace." I explained. Virge nodded and snapped his fingers. The scenery changed, and I opened my eyes and gasped.
We were standing in a valley with tall, silver grass and flowers dotted throughout it, with tall mountains, light of the twin suns of Gallifrey. Trees decorated the hills, the sunlight filtering through the silver leaves. The sky was orange and clear. The City was only half a mile away.
Virge nearly fell down, but Roman caught him. I felt a wet tear slip down my face and a smile, a genuine smile, slide onto my face. Patton looked around. "Where is this?" He asked. "Home." I replyed. He realized what I meant. "This is Gallifrey?" He asked. I dipped my head. At last, I felt at peace.

1 week later
"CAILLEACH!" Could be heard throughout the Mindscape as Roman ran away from an angry and confused Virgil who had bubblegum pink hair and had no idea how.
