Griffon of Canterlot
Chapter 46.5 – A Picture in Time
The reaction Crane got wasn't something he or some of them was expecting, with a exciting gasp and pointing Po speaks. “I get what you meant Crane! When you returned to the prison coming to the village!”
Crane bend his neck backwards slight with a raised confused eye and expression. “You were at the prison just a second ago...”
Po pull out a piece of paper from his pants opening it up showing Crane the drawing. “You gave me this and told me to open it next time we met!”
Gale looked at his drawing and at the one Po held, it had three finger claws marked in charcoal like the one with the drawing he held having the same marks. “You realised haven't you Gale?” Soothsayer takes it from his talons, Gale nods silently. “Let me handle it.” Gale nod again.
Soothsayer walk up to Crane. “I didn't give you anything Po, not that picture!”
“Not yet.” Soothsayer speaks and he turn to her gasping with a jump back as she was right next to him. “This.” She show the drawing and folds it up. “Is the one and the same that Po has, when you return you will give him this.”
She place it in Crane's wing. “I don't understand...”
Discord rolled his eyes about to say something but Soothsayer hit him in the leg with her stick causing Discord to yelp in pain. “Not your time to speak Lord of Chaos, be patient.” Discord humpths with arms crossed.
Alpha took the picture from Po seeing it slightly water damaged. “That means your from the past events that came... I heard tales of this but didn't know it was true...”
“With chaos anything is possible.” Soothsayer calmly said turning to Crane. “When you return, for us it the past but for you in the present, this moment is the future yet to come.”
Crane groans. “This is giving me a headache...”
“It mostly does, when Discord returns you Crane, do not speak of seeing Po, tell him to show you when you meet again, which be this very moment, if you do not who knows what could happen.” Soothsayer smiled warmly. “Even you know now Po doesn't listen to Tigress to stay, you have to let it happen.”
Crane look over to Po. “You didn't stay in the prison? But how can that happen already yet it haven't?”
Po shrugs. “I don't know, but it awesome! So you know that what happens to me and what most likely happened to you guys I be there to get you out of it.” Po smiled warmly giving Crane a hug. “See you soon Crane.”
Crane looked around. “Sure... But where am I exactly?”
“That we can not share, just say we in a abandon village.” Soothsayer said to Crane. “Just say these exact words... Gale is okay with the Soothsayer and the rouge wolf in some abandon village, I am not sure where it is but Soothsayer told me to give this to you Po, also to show me it when we meet again. In that exact quote.” Soothsayer said to him.
“Bu-” Discord snap his lion paw and Crane vanishes.
Po look at the spot Crane once stood at. “How do we know it worked?”
“Because we are still here and exactly how it happened before, now and future.” Soothsayer said turning to Discord looking to his head. “I believe Po need a hat.”
Discord look up and back down to the Soothsayer. “Get your own!”
“It is yours that he need.” She calmly said back, they look into each other eyes staring for a few moments before Discord gives in.
With a groan Discord took off the hat. “Fine... Here Po, you wanted a hat have mine.” He toss it over to Po.
Po caught it putting it on his head. “Alright! Now it on!”
Alpha eye shift left and right. “You do what you need to do Panda, Lord of Chaos you help him, Gale I am going to need your help with something.”
“Who are you to-”
Soothsayer speaks over Discord. “Talk to me like that? That one that knows Shen's plan, go and help Po, Alpha and Gale will do what they need to do.”
Alpha give to picture back to Po. “See you at the city Panda, make sure to save your friends and stop those boats from getting into the harbour.”
“You got it Alpha.” He closed his fist out to Alpha, he bumps it with his own fist.
Gale turn to Discord. “Guess we going our own ways again.”
Discord shrugs. “It all part of the plot of a dream adventure, nothing goes as one thinks it might do, unless they they complete control of said dream.” Discord poke Gale on the end of his beak with a smirk.
“See you soon I guess and Discord.”
“Yes Gale?”
“Be careful okay?”
“You too...” Discord muttered, he watched Gale and Alpha leave.
Soothsayer stood by him. “Dream adventures are a interesting twist of chaos is it not?”
“Yes it-” He turn to Soothsayer seeing that look. “You know?”
“From the beginning.” She walk over to the fire leaving Discord having his jaw drop.
Po slap Discord on the back. “Ready to say Tigress and the others?” Discord put his jaw back in place.
“Sure, whatever you say...” Discord raise his paw. “Time for the final chapter to turn.” With a snap of the paw they vanish.
Soothsayer put the fire out. “Now let's see if Shen's fate can be changed... Yet I feel it most likely not going to happen... Oh Shen...” She sighs walking away from the fire towards Goneman City.
Alpha and Gale having re-enter the city arrive at the ruins of the palace, standing before the large stone mallet they stared at it, a eerie feel came in the air where this was the last moments of Master Rhino, Alpha turn and knelt down to Gale gazing into eyes with his only eye.
Silently looking at each other they soon heard the sound of howls, turning to that very direction they could see the large mast with the sail of the peacock on it. Shen was making his move as dawn started to come, the time for action was now and Alpha was going to need Gale's help to help Po.
Alpha place his paw on Gale's shoulder. “Use your gift Lord Gale and let's end this nightmare before Shen can unleash it.”
Gale turn to Alpha and back to the sails, he finally turn to the stone mallet of Master Rhino.
