Chance for Change

PART X

Swiftly riding, and drawing closer to the cub, the wind blowing in the their faces, they arrived.

Dismounting their unicorns, the few knights and Councillors looked up to where the cub was staying, and could distinctly hear, crying, fulfilling the sky.

Sir Plucki turned to the following knights, and ordered them to stay and look after the unicorns whilst he and the two Councillors went up to the cub.

Going forth, and starting to climb the tree, they soon reached the top, on the platform, the entrance to the house in front of them.

Immediately they noticed that the crying had stopped, and so walking in, and looking around, they couldn't see the cub anywhere, and wondered whether he'd flee'd from sight when they arrive, but the gummi captain chose to differ.

"He's here" he said.

Feeling a bush of wind, from a sudden movement in the corner, Sir Plucki turned and said.

"Lad, show yourself".

Silence greeted them, and all movement seemed to have halted, not a whisper was heard among them, when Wesley still didn't appear, but they could hear him as he spoke.

"Why?" asked Wesley.

"So that we may speak with you" said one of the two councillors.

"But I don't want to talk to you" said Wesley distastefully "Why did you hide it from me?"

"Hide what?" they asked.

"Of what I truly was" Wesley replied disgusted.

"We didn't hide anything from you, just thought it best for you to find out on your own" the councillors said.

Silence filled the room again, no one uttering a word, just waited.

"You haven't come to take me back, have you?" asked Wesley suspiciously.

"No, lad" replied Sir Plucki.

*Good, they finally realize that I detest the place* thought Wesley.

"Lad, why don't you show yourself"

"NO!" shouted Wesley as quick as the gummi captain had finished speaking.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because...after finding...out the...truth," Wesley's voice cracked, and tears came to his eyes "I...didn't want...to be...seen this...way again"

Fresh tears came and rolled down his cheek, staining them, and he appeared in sight to everyone, looking dishelved.

Everyone in the room, held their breath at the sight of him, he was a mess. The cub's hair was a mess, and looked clammy with sweat, his eyes bloodshot through continuous crying, he was distraught.

It was funny to think, how Wesley could appear and act very much like them, even in emotional ways, but then again he was no ordinary ghost.

"Wesley" said Sir Plucki.

The cub looked like he was going to burst out crying again, but didn't, just stood they're staring at him, with teary eyes.

"Young one" Wesley heard Councillor Berryboum say.

"We have a spell, which may change all this?" said Councillor Wooddale.

The cub looked interested, but afraid at the same time, and he waited for them to give him more details.

"This spell, will allow us to go back in time" she said.

The cub by now, looked very interested, but at the same time again saddened, knowing that if they were to perform the spell, that everything he knew now, would be forgotten, and he wouldn't remember the time he spent with them. He would be living back in his own time, and die before he saw them again in 970, which is now.

"Do you want us to do it?" they asked.

Wesley didn't say anything, only looked to be considering, when he finally nodded, agreeing to under go the spell, and change time.

Watching as the councillors, brought out their medallion, Wesley watched intrigued, as they murmured a few words.

"Gumo bumako ino tami" they said, and immediately a light surrounded them, and everyone in the room, before it dimmed, and disappeared, no one now stood in the room.

Bright and sunny was the sky, the breeze calm and smooth, and passing through the forest. A slight thud could be heard near the forest edge, as the party arrived where they wanted to be.

Standing up, and looking around, they soon noticed the village of Wesley's not too far away, and saw the cub beside them, look up to them, sadness reflecting in his eyes at the sight of it.

Walking towards the village, Wesley told them it wouldn't be too long before the humans arrived, and he guided them towards the place where he was knocked out.

Though as they walked, the group noticed Wesley looking back at his village, and there they spotted him, playing with the other cub's, playing chase.

Stopping in his tracks, the rest stopped, knowing now that this was the place where he was knocked out, and no sooner had they stopped, did then hear, the familiar sounds of an arrow being shot, and watched as it landed an inch above Wesley's shoulder.

Wesley however stayed calm, just watching the scene unfold and the truth revealed to him. Watching the traitorous humans come running over the hill, towards the village, firing their arrows, and torching the houses, Wesley shook slightly, at the sight of his parents being killed before him, again.

Feeling someone's paw on his shoulder, Wesley looked up, to see Sir Plucki looking down at him, before he then turned to watch the rest of the attack.

Now seeing his other former self, running towards the forest, Wesley watched as the knight beside him walk away from him, preparing to change history.

About to enter the forest, Wesley knew any moment now his former self from what he remembered would be knocked out, instead he died.

Wesley did not budge, or seemed shocked when he saw a human charge towards his former self, armed with many kinds of weapons. Saddened, figuring out how he died, he watched as the knight became visible to the human, and fighting against him, weapon upon weapon, Wesley's former self managed to escape into the forest.

Smiling weakly that he had been saved, he saw Sir Plucki knock out the human, then go invisible again, as he came back towards them.

Reaching the group, the Councillors nodded at Sir Plucki, the deed done, and history changed, now it was time to go back, but not before something caught their attention.

Wesley started to vanish, and reappear a few times, something was happening to him, and they all knew what, he would disappear, and return back to his timeline, and only be a memory to them.

"Bye" whispered Wesley to the group, and he disappeared.

Staring at the space where Wesley had stood just moments ago, the two Councillors then performed the spell, in order to return back to their timeline, and everything would continued as normal.

***

Peering through the bushes, Wesley a five year old cub, who had just escaped from his village, stayed at the space where a knight, he recognized as Sir Plucki, stood. He scratched his head, wondering how on earth a Gummi Knight could be here, they'd vanished into thin air, only three years ago.

Turning his attention was drawn to the group, which had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and he smiled, recognizing them all instantly, despite what was going on around him, he ran forth to meet them, and see if they could help, save his village.

***

"Rectum bakimo" the councillors said.

The spell, began to take affect, and they felt themselves slowly disappearing, from sight, and away from this timeline, when they saw a young cub, they recognized instantly as Wesley confront them.

"Sir Plucki" Wesley said.

The gummi captain smiled at the cub, who had confronted him, when they felt the spell shift, and give off a slight high pitched squeal, drawing attention of the humans in the village.

"Charge!" the human leader said.

Something was happening with the spell, but what they did not know, not even the councillors knew, as this had rarely happened.

Now reappearing, and disappearing, the group finally disappeared, returning back to their own timeline, though they didn't know that the spell, had caused more problems than they first thought.
