Griffon of Canterlot
Chapter 46 – The Dream Adventure of Gale and Discord Part Five
Discord eyes snap open, he sits up quickly looking around to have Crane put his wing over his shoulder. “Your safe.” Discord looked at him noticing the injured other wing, the vision clear up a bit to see he was in some sort of jail, in one of the cells were a Ox and a crocodile staring back at him.
Discord push the uninjured wing off his shoulder, standing up he noticed Tigress kneeing to Po. “The idiot panda hiding something about Shen, it the second time he froze with that symbol.” Discord bluntly said to the other members of the Furious Five.
“What does a symbol have to do with him freezing up?” Monkey asked looking up at Discord.
“Deep scared memories is most likely the answer to that.” Discord answered. “But you have to let him reveal it though when his ready, he most likely will comprise the rescue of Gale.”
They watch as Tigress tells Po to stay and the masters will keep out of danger. “You took a blow from those weapons and yet you seem fine, how is that?” Viper asked slithering around his body.
Discord watching her movements around his body. “Chaos, nothing more, nothing less.”
“Wow, you either a good liar or you really are telling the truth.” Mantis said.
“Oh course.” Discord turn walking up the steps. “Tell me when the panda and tiger done with their little dance so we can get right to the point of saving Gale.”
“Your worried.” Crane said looking up the steps.
Discord glance back at him. “No beak brain, I am terrified, if Shen get Gale to some how share his magic with him, kiss everything goodbye.”
They all looked at each other as Discord went to the door standing by it peering out to the street through a tiny opening. “Tigress No!” He quickly turn the sound of Viper's voice to see Tigress was hugging Po, Crane beak drop open.
“Well, now that a nice bit of chaos.” Discord raise his talon with energy coming off it slightly. “That just what I needed.” Discord chuckled.
Tigress walked towards Discord passing the others. “Maybe you can't watch me by killed?” Crane said nervously.
“Stop being a wimp.” She coldly responded.
Discord heard a few thuds from outside, quickly looking into the street he saw four wolves. “If what that antelope said is true, they must of come this way.” One said as they walked towards the door.
“We'll ask the Ox and Croc if they seen them.” Another said.
Discord quickly moved away from the door. “We got to hide now, wolves incoming.”
Tigress and the others stopped. “We just knock them out.”
“No you will not, they here to talk to those in that cell, I rather find out what they are going to ask rather you knock their brains out.” Discord walked up to her towering over Tigress. “And I will use all of the chaos I have left to make sure of it, so make your choice, either hide or I force it upon us all.” He raised the paw.
“Make your choice.”
Tigress sighs. “Fine, we go with hide.” She turn to Po. “I got a idea how to hide Po.” She look over to Master Ox, who saw that look from her.
The doors open fully moments later, the four wolves walked down the steps to the circle central part of the jail, they head right for the masters. “You Ox.”
“Yes?” He calmly said making eye contact to the wolf.
The others looking around keeping their guard up, even one looking around at the ceiling. “We were directed in this direction, there a rouge wolf, goat and griffon fled from Lord Shen, have you seen them?”
“I know of the Soothsayer if you speaking of her, but haven't seen her since Master Rhino was killed by your weapon.” He said with bitterness in his voice. “Not sure what a griffon is though.”
“It a bird-lion hybrid, a child.”
Ox blinked. “Closest thing to a hybrid I saw was some weird mixed up creature made up of at least ten races by my count.”
The wolves were on their guard more than ever now. “That freak was here?”
“Was? Yes, now no.” He answered.
The wolves relaxed a little. “I don't think they seen them.”
First wolf sighed. “We have to keep moving, if we don't find them Lord Shen make sure we won't see the next day.” He turn to leave. “Come we better get a move on.”
“Yes sir!” They said together quickly leaving the jail with the first wolf closing the door to the street behind them.
Coming out of the other cells and out of hiding the Furious Five emerged, Discord step out from behind a pillar, Po emerged from behind Master Ox. “It look like a rescue mission no longer required.” Crane said.
Tigress nod. “Indeed, we can move on with taking out the weapon factory, making sure none of those weapons get out of Goneman City.”
Discord closed his eyes focusing and his eyes snapped open. “I know where Gale is, thanks to Oogway and keeping a bit of that energy I can teleport myself directly to him.”
“Take Po with you.” Tigress said to him.
“Not happening.” Both Po and Discord said together.
“I am not taking no as a answer, your doing it Discord.”
Discord pokes her in the chest. “I have enough to teleport directly there for myself, if I take something like him.” Discord point to Po. “Who know what his weight would do to throw my magic off!”
“Hey!”
“It not a insult it a matter of fax!”Discord snapped back at Po. “Do you know how chaos magic work?” He turn back to Tigress. “Are you now a expert in it now?”
Tigress grows and didn't answer. “How about one of us that light or small go with Discord see if Gale okay and come back?” Crane suggested.
Discord look directly at him. “Skinny tall legs, big wings, long neck and beak, feather weight...” Discord walked around him giving a good look, Crane nervously follow his movements, the others had a feeling what was about to happen. “Yes you can come with me.” Discord put his griffon arm around him.
Crane eyes widen. “No I didn't mean m-” With a snap of the lion paw both of them were gone.
“Wow, they just gone!” Monkey waving his hand over the spot they stood.
Tigress cross her arms. “What do we do now Tigress?” Viper asked
“We wait...”
(Line break)
Gale using charcoal on a piece of paper, drawing on it close to the lit flame dancing around before him, Alpha leaning on a beam support watching over him with his eye, Po laid on a make shift bed while Soothsayer was preparing the medication for Po when he wakes.
“You are tense Alpha.” Soothsayer calmly said with her back to him.
Alpha turn his eye to her direct. “Can you blame me for not?”
Soothsayer holding the bowl filled with the medication. “No I can not, yet you stepping back here wasn't something I saw, not till recently.”
Alpha turn back to the wasted village. “I can agree with you on that, I did what I done because of Lord Gale...”
Gale looked up. “I didn't do anything special, I was just being me... Well the me I am now and not what I can't remember... I think...” Gale went back to drawing. “It confusing...”
“Just don't let what you were before become what you are now.”
“Huh?” Gale paused in his drawing now looking to Soothsayer. “What do you mean by that?”
“Do you want to return to who you once were?” She asked putting a hoof hand under his beak lifting his head slightly.
Gale gave a thoughtful look, taking a moment to answer. “I would like to know my past, but also it is the past and the amount of time that past I can never reclaim, just remember...”
Soothsayer smiled removing her hoof head. “Indeed, four thousand of them is too vast of time that past is it not?”
Gale beak drops open staring at her, Alpha glance back with confusion. “You lost me goat.”
“H-”
“How?” Gale nods. “Soothsayer not just my name is what I can do, plus your mind remember.” She tap the top of his head.
Gale realised what she meant. “Oooo...” Gale went back to drawing.
“Are you two going to fill me in?” Alpha looking between the two of them, he heard slight movement Po's direction, Soothsayer raise her hoof hand to her muzzle, giving him the signal to do nothing.
Po reopen his eyes to turn his head and be face to face with Soothsayer getting a shock as he quickly sit up to cringe in pain, laying back down slightly rubbing the side of his head while Soothsayer held out the bowl of medicine for Po to take.
One look at it and her he spoke. “Yeah... Like you can make me drink th-ahhh.” With a poke of a needle on his forehead, Po open his mouth up, eyes inverted cross eyed and she toss the liquid into his mouth, pulling the pin out of his forehead Po closed his mouth whooshing it around his mouth before swallowing.
He groans in disgust at the taste of it as Soothsayer walk back to the fire sitting down in front of it. “If I wanted you dead, I would of left you in that river.”
“Why save me?” He pull out a needle from the side of his head.
“So you can fulfil your destiny.”
Po continue to pull the needles out. “What are you talking about?” He looks around. “Were am I?” He saw a ruined village. “What is this place?”
She looked over at him with sadness, Gale and Alpha not moving listened and watched. “I'm surprised you remember so little Po...” She look back to fire. “You were so little when it happened.” Soothsayer glance to Alpha, he shifted uneasily from the look.
Po started to hear screaming in his head and breathes heavily before pulling the tear shape bottle off his head, falling forwards on his hand paws and knees crawling outside. “Prehaps you do remember.”
“Now what? It just a stupid nightmare.”
Alpha finally spoke. “It was no nightmare panda... I was here... I helped Shen do all this...” Alpha push off the pillar looking around sadly, Po looked at him with confusion and anger seeing who it was. “In all my years I never thought I would step back here let alone strike at Shen...”
Po looked at the water, he started to remember his past recalling the moments before Shen and the wolves attacked, he step down the steps and Gale got up walking up beside Alpha as Soothsayer spoke. “This was a thriving village, young Shen was in line to rule Goneman City, but he wanted more...”
Soothsayer roll the pot around in a circle motion. “I foretold that one would stand in his way, a panda...” She glance over to him and ahead staring off into space. “I never would have foretold what came next...” She roll out a stick from the pot into the fire.
Po instantly recalls the attack of Shen squawking out with spear pointing out, wolves attacking, Shen turns seeing the child Po. “Get them all!” The two wolves charge right at him bouncing towards young Po.
His father runs in front and hit the two wolves with a mallet of his own knocking the wolves back as well taking one of their eyes out. “Take our son and run away, go!” His father put a paw hand out to his wife as she pick up young Po running away, he drop the plush panda on the ground bouncing to the burning out to be buried.
Po walk up to the very ruined house pushing some wood away to show the plush panda picking it up, Alpha place his paw over the closed eye, the eye Po's father took out. Po had a flash of his mouth putting him down and turning away, holding his head breathing heavily. “Stop fighting, let it flow...”
Alpha slowly look to Soothsayer. “Soothsayer...” She nods to him.
Alpha walk towards Po as he put the plush down, Gale felt the hoof hand on his shoulder. “Watch...” He nods.
Po look up at the rain than to Alpha, the wolf look back to the panda, no words said between them but a clarity of understanding suddenly flowed through both of them, compelled Alpha follows Po's movement shifting right paw foot back moving the right hand paw past their own faces with eyes closed.
The left hand paw over across with both apart from each other holding nothing but air they shift to the left with both paw hands moving in sync, lifting their right paw hands up a droplet rolls down the palm fingers to the palms of their paw hands.
Po start to remember the final moments of his mother carrying in as a child, Alpha recalling the moment he ran with Shen after them. They shift around in motion moving the droplet to the other paw hand twisting them around, from one arm to the other.
Gale watched with surprise as the droplet seem to just roll around with the strange motion of movement coming from Alpha and Po.
Po open his eyes for a moment recalling his very last moments with his mother as she saves his life by hiding him in the box of radishes, she run up the mound and wave the wolves with Shen to follow as she flees.
Their final act letting the droplet roll of the paw hand onto a plant leaf.
Po breathing heavily, Alpha fallen backwards on his rump breathing also heavily tears falling from his only eye. “Nothing I do can be foregiven... I am sorry for what I did that day and how much more blinded I am really are...”
Gale walk up to him putting his talon hand on his shoulder. “Alpha your not blind cause you protected me.”
Alpha turn to Gale. “I did, didn't I?” Gale nods with a smile. “How can you even smile at me when I did all this bad stuff?”
“Because you have a heart silly.” Gale pat his chest were the heart is a few times.
Po closed his eyes with sadness turning it away. “Your story may have not a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are, it is the rest of your story who you choose to be.”
Po start recalling all his time with his dad to becoming the dragon warrior, making friends with Master Shifu, the furious five and defeating those that would bring harm to the Valley of Peace. “So... Who are you panada?”
Po gets up. “I am Po and I am going to need a hat...”
In a blinding flash from the climenting words from Po appeared Discord and Crane.
“Eeeee...” Crane looked around getting the glare of the flash out of his sights, first thing he saw standing before him was- “Po how did you get here and why are you all bandaged up like that?”

.5 chapter will revile that but the answer quite a simple chaotic one hehe ^^
Interesting... More of this...

Yep logic error. I think our Author was a littel bit over eager...

The answer to it is very clear, just take a peek back into the past chapters.
My guess is that a day for gale and discord in the dream is as an hour in the dream cavern.

I make the comparison, but the main difference is that with Celestia the harm has already occured. Instead of causing the harm, she knows of it and does nothing to address it in a manner that undoes or heals it. She and others know he was stolen from his home, and had both his body and mind stripped from him. There's been investigation into him but no helping him, instead focusing just on adopting him and raising him. Raising him would be fine if there was efforts being made to hel him that seemed genuine, but without that adopting him becomes abusive and undermines the premise of the story. The only real reason why nobody would do anything to help him is because nobody wants him to be healed and returned to his home, so they choose to do nothing and say his home is destroyed. If he was healed, he would have memories that exist before being found in Canterlot, and would thusly view someone else as his mother. Without any of this his life effectively starts at being adopted, and so he bonds to her alone.
Tl;dr Celestia adopts an abducted, polymorphed, amnesiac child and doesn't do anything to solve those three problems because she wants to keep him and not know anything before her.

Did you miss a few chapters? I dont mind marking em for you. They established hes origin, his way of getting to Canterlot, how to teach him and cope with it. Also that he will never full recover by nature of Grogars manipulation.
He has a dedicated doctor, a dedicated teacher and Celestia did it out of protective instinct. I think you mix up another Celestia with this one. ... ... Happen to me from time to time to...
