George Vanderbilt: How long has William known about time travel and when did you tell him the truth?
Lyanna Asher: Well.
Location: Biltmore Estate Outdoor Pavilion Floor January 9, 1907
Lyanna Asher: You see when I was born. I was born on December 18, 1993. Eighty-six years into the future. That room I was in it was called a Neto care unit. It's a place where babies stay at so the doctors can keep an eye on you and take care of you until you get stronger after a rough birth or other complications. I was there for a few days until I could breathe on my own and to make sure there weren't any other complications from my birth. William? Say something?
William Vanderbilt: I believe you.
Lyanna Asher: You do?
William Vanderbilt: Yes I do. Lyanna I've been having dreams about you my entire life. I know that you're from a different time period. I just don't know how you got to my time in the first place.
Lyanna Asher: It was a through a pond here on the estate.
William Vanderbilt: Wait are you talking about the pond inside the forest?
Lyanna Asher: That is correct.
William Vanderbilt: If you don't mind me asking what made you jump into the pond? Did you know that it had the ability of time travel?
Lyanna Asher: To be honest I had no idea at all and also I didn't jump in there by choice or by accident. Someone from my time pushed me in there. So they must have known that it was special and knew that I could travel through it.
William Vanderbilt: Who do you think who would do that to you?
Lyanna Asher: To be honest I have no idea. That's something that I'm going to have to figure out. That's for sure.

George Vanderbilt: I'm sure. But I am proud of my son that he handled your truth as well as he did.
Lyanna Asher: I agree.
George Vanderbilt: But I do have another question that I want to ask you. If that's ok with you of course.
Lyanna Asher: Of course what do you want to ask me?
George Vanderbilt: How did you and William know each other? Even though that night was the first time that the two of you had met.
Lyanna Asher: Well you wouldn't believe me. Even if I told you.
George Vanderbilt: Try me.
Lyanna Asher: Ok well.
Location: Biltmore Estate Outdoor Pavilion Floor January 9, 1907
Lyanna Asher: So I'm guessing we have a lot to talk about. Don't we.
William Vanderbilt: Agree.
Lyanna Asher: Where do you want to start?
William Vanderbilt: How about we talked about the dreams that we've been having about each other.
Lyanna Asher: How long have you had dreams about me?
William Vanderbilt: I've been having dreams about you ever since I was three years old.
Lyanna Asher: That's how old I was. When i started having dreams about you as well.
William Vanderbilt: What was your first dream about me? If you don't mind me asking.
Lyanna Asher: My first dream of you was when you were a young man meeting your adoptive mother for the first time.
William Vanderbilt: That was definitely one of the most stressful and most nervous times in my life that's for sure.
Lyanna Asher: I'm sure it was. I would be to if I was meeting a possible new mom for the first time.
William Vanderbilt: But she turned out to be a very kind woman towards me. She was also very patient with me when it came to about what I should call her.
Lyanna Asher: I believe that is the kind of person she is.
William Vanderbilt: You're right about that.
Lyanna Asher: If you don't mind me asking. What was the first dream that you had of me?
William Vanderbilt: The day you were born.
Lyanna Asher: The day that I was born.
William Vanderbilt: That is correct. I never forgot that dream. It has been with me ever since I was three years old.
Lyanna Asher: What did you see. If you don't mind me asking.
William Vanderbilt: Well the first image that I saw of you. You were born in a strange color.
Lyanna Asher: I see. Well please bare with me when I try to explain this. I was born as a blue baby. A blue baby is a child born when you were deprived of oxygen for a certain period of time.
William Vanderbilt: How did it happen?
Lyanna Asher: It happened while I was still in my mother's womb. The cord that I was attached to. Some how it managed to get wrapped around my neck and it choked me which was the cause of me being deprived of oxygen.
William Vanderbilt: How did you manage to survive all of that? If you don't mind me asking.
Lyanna Asher: If it weren't for the heroic efforts of the physicians. I wouldn't be alive today. So I am grateful everyday.
William Vanderbilt: I can understand. That's a good way at looking at things. That's for sure.
Lyanna Asher: What did you see after that?
William Vanderbilt: The next thing that I saw was a strange kind of bed and there was all of these strange things all over your body. The room also looked very strange as well.

Lyanna Asher: Yes. He and I have been having them for as long as the both of us could remember.
George Vanderbilt: That's incredible.
Lyanna Asher: I agree. But I do have one more question.
George Vanderbilt: An what's that?
Lyanna Asher: Does William know the truth about his mother?
George Vanderbilt: No I've never told him the truth.
Lyanna Asher: Maybe you should tell him the truth. I think he deserves to know who's mother was. Especially about her being a time traveler.
George Vanderbilt: You're right. He deserves to know who his mother was.
Lyanna Asher: So when are you going to tell him.
George Vanderbilt: I'm going to tell him tonight during the wine party back at the Martell Estate.
Lyanna Asher: Ok I won't say anything to him because he should hear it from you.
