Morgaine foretells the war's end

Morgaine stands in the castle, her tone dripping with cold certainty as she surveys the escalating conflict. The Doctor and his allies have been hunting her through time and space, but now she openly declares the conflict is nearing its end—her end. The Doctor’s carefully constructed strategies are about to collide with her decisive move, and the balance of power shifts irrevocably as she prepares to summon the Destroyer. The stage is set for a final confrontation where the fabric of time itself could unravel if her victory is not prevented.
