As the Master's plan unfolded, Lyra found herself trapped in a nightmarish labyrinth of fear and uncertainty. The weight of her captivity bore down on her like a suffocating blanket, threatening to crush her beneath its oppressive weight. Desperation clawed at her insides as she pleaded with her captors, her voice trembling with raw emotion.

"My name is Lyra Evangeline Stone," she cried out, her words echoing off the cold stone walls of the fortress. "I'm 25 years old. I was born on November 5, in Arcadia. I'm from Arcadia, Earth. My mom's an explorer and my dad teaches galactic history. Their names are Marcus and Helena Stone. I don't have any siblings. I've barely lived. I'm not finished yet. No one's loved me yet. Please, please, I'm so... someone's child. I'm a person. I'm a person."

But her pleas fell on deaf ears as the Master's minions dragged her deeper into the bowels of the fortress, their hearts hardened against her cries for mercy. They knew that their master's plan was far more important than the life of a single individual, no matter how desperate their pleas.

Meanwhile, aboard the TARDIS, the Doctor and River Song raced against time itself as they searched for any sign of Lyra's whereabouts. Their hearts pounded in their chests as they navigated the twisting corridors of the Master's ship, their minds ablaze with a thousand thoughts and possibilities.

"We have to find her, River," the Doctor said, their voice filled with urgency as they pressed on through the darkness. "We can't let the Master get away with this. Lyra needs us, now more than ever."

River nodded in agreement, her eyes alight with determination as she followed the Doctor into the heart of the ship. "Don't worry, sweetie," she said, her voice tinged with confidence. "We'll find her. And when we do, we'll make the Master pay for what they've done."

With renewed determination, the Doctor and River pressed on, their resolve unwavering as they fought back wave after wave of doubt and despair. For they knew that as long as they had hope, anything was possible—and that together, they could overcome any obstacle that stood in their way.
