Griffon of Canterlot
Chapter 84.5 – Celestial Conversation
Celestia after her sudden teleport found herself in the Ascended Plains between realities which she haven't been in since Cadance ascended to an Alicorn, she walked on the star sparkling path with stars and cloudy magic all around, she soon noticed a whitish blue figure emerge.
“Who are you and are you the reason I am here?” Celestia demanded with a stern look at the strange avian creature now stood before her.
The avian lift her wing arm up with a talon raised, rectangle images flow in to the left and right of her down the path, each showing different events that happened through out the past, even showing possible futures. “I am the reason to bring you here, and I am Avatar the... avatar of the Tree of Elysium.”
Celestia instantly stopped taking a few steps back with shock. “Th-that not possible!”
“You are aware of me, curious.” She took a look at the windows of time, seeing events. “None show you should be aware of me, how can this be that you are?” She turn her whitish blue cool calm eyes upon Celestia.
Celestia kept a good distant from her. “The avian that look like no other, the avian that can see what was, what currently happen and what to be all at once, the keeper of the tree that shows the actions you could of taken but haven't or could take.” Celestia said in a firm tone. “There are those that seek you out for all their lives, but never found you.”
Avatar's eyes showed a questionable look, eyes half open, pupils shifting left and right. “I am not aware of this, how am I not aware?”
“It also says, those that seek you are hidden from your sights.” Celestia walked slowly around her. “Why did you bring me here?”
Avatar still trying to understand how she could not see those that seek the power of seeing through possible points in time. “I brought you here to talk about-” She slowly turn to Celestia. “What else does this legend speak of?”
“I-”
“This is serious Celestia, Princess of Equestria, Avatar of the Sun, mother of Gale and Nightingale, sister of Luna, Princess of Equestria, Avatar of the Moon, tell me please.”
Celestia hearing that lengthy title was serious. “The legend said that you gifted a feather to the first to come to you, in the rash actions you took to discover how this soul found you, there been many to seek this First for longer than I ever lived, all the way back to the three pony tribes lived apart.”
Avatar was startled. “Th-that impossible! I gifted the First as you call it only two weeks ago! H-” She froze. “Oh no... I caused this... I am the reason!” She showed the feather she had on the forewing. “The one I gave the feather to exchange for one of theirs! The connection to the tree is so much clearer! How can I not have seen this!? Wh-”
Celestia put her hoof on the wing arm of Avatar. “Calm down, breathe, take deep breaths and tell me.”
Avatar took a few deep breaths, inhaled and exhaled slowly. “I created a temporal event that rippled out not only through out into the future but back in time...” Avatar wave her free wing arm showing a ripple going outwards. “I caused a Time Ripple... Everything in the past was shifted so ever slightly out of what should of happened, I created the legend in the past, I...” She slowed looking at Celestia in the eyes. “I am the reason for you have a son and daughter... I am the cause of it all...”
“How can that be? How can you be the cause of something that happened in the past?” Celestia removed her hoof from the wing arm, she then realised. “The Chicken and the Egg Paradox...”
Avatar's actions weighed on her. “Yes... Before it happened it did happen, before I met the First as you call it, which I won't divulge for the safety of that soul.” Avatar walked with Celestia beside her nodding as she understood the safety of that life. “I have a lot to think about now, path in time is very uncertain within this very timeline I exist in now and part of.”
“What is it you wanted to speak to me about before this all happened?”
“I intercepted your teleportation to bring you here because of events to come.”
Celestia stopped. “Events as in we can not avoid?”
Avatar turn around. “Correct, they are bright, so bright I can not see beyond it or see what to come from now till than, or ever in this timeline, only what is and what had been, but other timelines, other realities I can.” Avatar showed her as a example.
Celestia saw different timelines she never experienced. “So... Each time we do something different to what we thought, a new reality is created?”
“Correct.” Avatar than show the branch with what look like a sun shimmering with different colours of the rainbow. “This is our timeline.”
“Our? As you are part of us? You move forwards into the unknown?”
Avatar shuddered a little. “Yes, it is unknown and strange to experience and one I am still getting use to.” Avatar stared at the light. “Two events are to come, one after the other. The Day of Chaos, and the moment over the Isle of Flaputa with the Past and Future will collide”
Celestia walked around the glowing sun like orb. “How do you know of the names of said events?”
“That are written into the stone of time...” Avatar showed every civilisation that come and gone. “Each speak of it through out the past, there are exactly at this moment 4000 references of it.”
“That very specific...” Celestia turn to Avatar. “When will it happen?”
“Unknown.”
“So... It will happen without warning, no real way of knowing what it is, what we can do to prepare, no answer to what is coming?”
“Correct.”
Celestia hummed slightly. “It seems there is nothing we can do, just live, be prepared best we can and hope that it will be enough to enjo it and break through it.” Celestia walked through the image to Avatar. “Thank you for coming to me with this, even it is very little and to discover together how this all came to be.” Celestia gave her a hug. “And thank you for everything.”
Avatar with arm wings out, frozen. “Y-you welcomed...”
“Now I have to go to my son.”
“Very well, this conversation didn't exactly go as I thought it would.”
Celestia smiled slightly. “It never does.” Her horn glows.
Avatar smiled back. “No it doesn't.”
“Next time though, contact me first, I am in a rush to get to my children.” Celestia teleports.
“Why did she not start that from the beginning? This could of waited...” Avatar curious asked herself staring at the spot Celestia once stood, she turn walking away.
“I am part of the legend... I am part of this timeline more than I ever realised...” Avatar disappears, and appear before the Tree of Elysium. “I am a creation of your making, is this a gift or a punishment creator of mine?” The tree glowing leaves rustle with a single bulb growing.
It shot off the branch of the tree over to her, she caught it with her talons for it to open up into a flower. “Curious...” She stared down at the glowing rose like flower now held in her talon hands. “A conflicting answer that can go either way, thank you creator of mine.” She bow to the tree
It gave a shimmering musical tone in response.
