Phoenix is building her city as she planned and Celestia is sending the elements to it where they will be safe.” Discord nodded slowly. “Yes, and as an added bonus she is sending their families along too. That’s quite important too. We still have plenty to do girls, we can’t break out the lyre and boxes of bonbons yet.” I nodded, sitting down with a smile. “True, but for the moment we can be relived we have made one change in the… One! You’re leg’s back! You don’t lose your leg now!” One blinked, looked at her rear legs and smiled, “Maybe Five’s sight will be restored as well.” “I doubt it.” Five muttered, “The fact remains that as long as I am blind, the Elements will die. Unless I was blinded by something other than Grogar’s bell in this new timeline we managed to produce… It’s hard to remember. Being outside time is rather annoying.” Two trotted over to Five and gave her a tight hug, “Don’t worry! We’ll fix everything up lickitysplit and you’ll get to see again! We just need to keep influencing ponies to do just the right things. It’s working! We made a safe haven for everypony.” Three nodded. Her face held a grim expression. “I hope Kaily is successful in raising an army.” Discord gave her a questioning look along with the rest of us. She pointed to the Array. “I’ve discovered why our ability to effect the world is limited. There is another person DMing as well.” “Who?” I asked quickly. “I can’t tell who, what, or where, but if you look here you can see that power is being split between us and them. If you look here you can see-” “They are helping the remnants of the Tribunal! Tartarus’s Flames! Everypony, we need to get back to work.” I said focusing on the spell to resume my slim connection to the world. There was still more work to be done.
