Rise of the Creators

Luna's Prophecy

Jason's POV

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Luna yelled, jumping in front of me, "You can't! He did nothing wrong!"

Prometheus laughed, "You really think he is kind? He admits the Void destroys this place. Why else would he be here if not to cause it?" he asked Luna.

"To stop it? Or warn us? If he really wanted to hurt us, why hasn't he hurt me?" Luna countered, her voice getting stronger with each word.

"I doubt it." Prometheus simply stated. "All in favor of banishment?" Prometheus then raised his hand. But to my surprise, no one else did.

"I say we give him a chance to prove himself, and a chance to go home." A new voice said, echoing around the room. Everyone went quiet when the owner of the voice stepped forward.

He was a bit rounder than Prometheus, and a few inches shorter. He wore long blue robes trimmed in gold with dots of silver, making it look like he wore all of space on him. He had shoulder length white hair and a white beard that hung past his belly.

"My king, why are you here?" Prometheus asked the newcomer.

"Because I am the King of the Creators, and whether or not you like it, Jason is one of my subjects." The man answered, turning to me with a smile.

"Odin, who will be willing to take a semel mortali in? Surely they want to avoid him?" Prometheus countered, sounding rather nervous.

"I will." Spatium announced, stepping toward Prometheus and Odin. "If the king wills it, I will watch after this new creator, and report anything suspicious to the king only."

"Then I, Odin, King of the Creators hereby decree that Jason Wright will be put under the scrutiny of Spatium and her household. Until the day that she believes him to be no threat. All in favor?" Odin asked, to which all the Creators except Prometheus raised their hand.

I sat in disbelief at what happened. Luna cheered and hugged me furiously. But all went silent when Prometheus yelled.

"You all have chosen your demise! You listen to what? A semel mortali and the brat whose prophecy foretells her betrayal? You are all fools!" And with that, Prometheus ran.

I looked at Spatium, and saw her gaze at Luna. Her face showed grief and despair. Luna was looking at her hooves. What was in that prophecy?

Somehow, Sarai answered me. "Every time a creator is born, I read it's future, and tell all who are in attendance. Luna's is one of the saddest."

"Sad how?" I couldn't help asking.

Sarai gave me a long stare. "She is to betray her sister."

I looked at Luna for a time before speaking, "Well excuse my language but I call balderdash." Everyone looked at me, and I continued regardless. "On Earth, my people believe that the future can change, as long as it hasn't happened."

Luna gave me a questioning look, and I continued. "There is an old tale of a queen and king. On the day their son was born, a prophecy about him was given. The son would kill the father, marry his mother, and own all his parents worldly possessions. Hoping to stop the prophecy, the king and queen sent their son away. Many years passed and the son met a wealthy man on the road. The man acted rude, and the son killed him. The son traveled to a nearby city where a rich lady had been widowed. Years pass and the son realizes that the widow is his mother, and the man he killed was his father."

"And how is that supposed to make me feel better?" Luna asked me in irritation. I put a finger to my lips, and continued talking.

"The point of the story is that because the parents believed the prophecy and tried to stop it. And that if the future s told, let it happen, don't try to stop it." I explain, getting Luna to raise an eyebrow. Sighing, I explained further, "No matter how bad or dark or scary a prophecy gets, you have the power to ignore it. You have the power to change it."

Luna smiled at me. "Thanks."

"Jason, in two months time, find me at the gazebo." Odin whispered as he walked past me.

I looked over to Spatium. "Guess we're going to your place." I said.

Spatium smiled at me, "Yes. Follow closely."


Twilight's POV

"No, no, no!" I yelled, throwing book after book across the room. Where is a book on time when you need it?

"Just give it a rest Twilight, you've been up all night with this." Spike, my dragon friend, said from across the room.

"You don't understand!" I barked at him, "Every moment we don't find him is another moment he spends in a strange world!"

"Twilight, he can take care of himself." Spike assured me, putting a claw on my shoulder, "I mean, how many ponies do you know that jumped into a kraken?"

I gave him a small smile. Spike was right, Jason could handle himself. I gave Spike a hug and whispered thank you. But it was only seconds later the Rainbow Dash flew in.

"Twi! You need to see this!" Rainbow shouted, flying out the door.

"It better not be a-" I went to say as I opened the door. But the words caught in my throat.

Ponyville, was under attack. And leading it. . .

Jane Wright had returned.
