"So their like visions that let you view into the past or future?" Twilight asked, unsure about her wording on the subject. Skye huffed.
"Yes, That's essentially what it is. It's very vague even to those of us that have it and we're still unsure of it's properties." Skye finished. Twilight immediately said something that Skye wanted to shut down, immediately.
"We've got to tell the Princesses about this!" All the other girls murmured in their agreement, but that quickly turned into confusion, mostly due to Skye's answer.
"No, WE don't! I told you this in confidence, but now I'm doubting whether or not I should have. You cannot share anything about that ability! It causes bad things to happen even with the vaguest detail given!" Twilight began to speak only to be cut off.
"If people were to know about my ability I would be hunted relentlessly so they could understand a gift that not even the Warriors of Light understood! Twilight, could you tell me in good honesty that my mind wouldn't be probed to try to understand it, or even worse, take it from me?" Skye finished. Twilight looked unsure as she searched for the answer but a response came from the party mare who had remained silent through the whole confrontation.
"What do you mean by gift Skye?" She said springing up to him.
"I never said gift, now-"
Yes you did silly! You said 'so they could understand a gift that not even the Warriors of Light understood!'" She said, mimicking his voice. Skye thought back on his words and sighed, before going into more explanation.
"Almost all Warriors of Light possess the Echo, and it's regarded as a 'gift' from Hydaelyn." He said, smiling awkwardly when he noticed that they still had confused faces.
"Whatever is this Hydaelyn character you speak of, you mention them quite a lot darling." Rarity said, expecting an answer. Skye racked his mind, finding the answers in his muddled mind.
"I don't know if I explained it before but, Hydaelyn is the Mother-Crystal. She guides us Warriors through commincating with our mind. She's also the one who bestowed the Echo upon us. Does that explain it enough?" The man inquired. He was swiftly met with nodding heads.
"Alright. If that's enough questions for now I'd suggest that we all get ready to turn in for the night, seeing as it's getting dark. Though, I do wonder what it meant..." Pinkie Pie leaped back into view.
"I betcha it's something that'll come later. Like maybe there'll be two of you!" Skye quickly distanced himself from the mare as Rainbow spoke:
"I hope not! It's already a handful with him around." She said sarcastically while pointing to the cat eared feline of the group. Skye responded just as sarcastic, if not worse.
"Hahaha very funny. You all know that you'd be dying to see more of this!" He said while faux throwing his hair back.
"Please. Like you could ever pull of a better look than Rarity!" She said as everyone voiced their agreement. Skye tsked, as he decided to get the topic elsewhere.
"Fine, fine. I have a better idea" They turned to look at him. "A race, between me and Rainbow here. Last one at the library, get's to carry the luggage to the train station when we leave back to Canterlot!" Rainbow took up the offer.
"Alright! This'll be a piece of cake! Seeing as I can fly and you can't." Skye looked at her sideways.
"Who said I needed to fly?" Skye said, re-donning his mask and falling into a swift movement. Rainbow was surprised at the determination but nevertheless she took up a position beside him, they didn't notice that everyone else had already left, probably teleported using Twilight's magic. She stretched her wings that were placed along her back, using her hands to smooth out any rough feathers that were misaligned.
"I'll see you at the finish line then!" She screamed taking off into the air, aiming to be the first back, while Skye quickly moved below.
