-1A/N: This is the most important chapter yet and probably in the entire Fic. Because I discovered the Review Reply feature I have already answered your questions. Enjoy!

Lethor opened the door and even though Meliain was expecting a cool blast of air none came. The contents of the room were impossible to see through the resounding black from lack of light.
Lethor entered his room before Meliain could say anything. Then with a soft pop the room was lit with a stunning green aura and while the room dimmed down it was shown that it was decorated in mostly greens and blues. On the table in the center of the room sat a mirror. The mirror was not altogether large, only about the size of a plate but what made it stand out was the fact that it had an orange border.
"Meliain you may sit down if you wish, this may take awhile." Lethor stated while sitting down on one of the two light blue chairs himself. He watched as the only other occupant of the room sat in the other chair.
"Why do you wish for me to try to read the future? Why not Torest or Govax? Why not Dordain or Yurak?" Meliain decided to ask just as she sat down.
"You think the most logically and you ask the right questions to get your information, you also look for the right connections between points of information, you don't act rashly in moments of confusion and you do not panic. Yes Dordain thinks logically but he would have asked different questions than you in seeking strait forward answers. There truly is no strait forward answers in this. Torest would have asked the right questions but she would not have made the right connections between the facts. The wrong connections could lead to disaster. Govax would have done neither and in hearing what I am about to tell you he would have acted rashly creating more harm to time than good. Yurak would look at the situation and be stunned to silence and after she would get over the initial shock she would panic and thus she would be unable to act upon the problem. As for the reason why I want you to attempt to read the future, it is because it has everything to do with this and more." With every sentence Meliain was about to speak but Lethor held up his pointer finger to momentarily silence her. After wards her face showed signs of both confusion and realization.
"So I was the only one who you could tell, but I still don't understand what would cause that type of reaction from the other Prophets."
"Meliain, try to use the mirror on the table to read the future. This information needs to be seen by you to be believed by anyone." Meliain leaned over the table and closed her eyes. The Orange rim of the mirror began to gather it's own aura before the reflectiveness of the center showed black. It was then that Meliain stopped and leaned back in her chair.
"I, I can't. All I saw was a, a black void. Lethor. Is this the information that would cause the other Prophets to have reacted so badly? The inability to no longer read the future. This has happened to all of us many times and it usually just dumps us into watching the present we just ignore it." Meliain quickly responded with surprise highly evident in her voice.
"That unfortunately is not all. Now that you know somewhat about what I am about to tell you, what I am about to show you is going to be less of a shock. Meliain will you please follow me." Lethor led Meliain towards a light blue door and opened it. "This is called the Time Stream. This is an accurate model to our current time stream. The model also shows us what we are going to be allowed to see and what we are not going to be able to see." The room was filled with golden beams of light going every which way imaginable some even hitting each other and either bouncing off or branching out. Two lines were highlighted in a deep shade of blue while ten were white. "Each line represents a being, a single being. The blue lines represent the beings who are in the room at the moment while the ten white lines represent those beings who exist outside of time. Four being the other Prophets."
"Then who are the other six Lethor?" Meliain said in a questioning tone.
"I believe that three of them are the next set of Time Guardians. Two of them are the same ghost. The last I cannot say. His line is not developed well enough to tell." The response from Lethor led to a few seconds of silence before Meliain answered.
"Lethor you said that two are the same ghost. Each line represents one being. Does that not mean that each being represents one line?"
"Yes Meliain. It does. Now think about how that might be possible." Lethor wanted Meliain to come to her own conclusions before he said anything.
"The only way I can think of is Time manipulation. The being would have been trying to make absolutely sure that he would exist but made a mistake while doing so. Making another branch off from his own line at the point of decision. Creating two of himself at all points of time. What does this being call himself?"
"Dan or Danny Phantom depending on which one you are talking about. He is also the last Half breed created or born, I believe. Much like Pyro and Grim were before Dan Phantom abused his Out of Time Existence and manipulated Time so that he could Kill them."
"You mean that the series of events leading up to Grim's and Pyro's death was guided along by Dan Phantom?" The astonishment in her voice was evident in every syllable that Meliain spoke.
"Yes. However this is not the information that would cause near panic among the Prophets. If you look closely at the lines you will notice blanks in the Time stream. Or dark patches that become more and more frequent as you look into the near future. These blackouts are times when we cannot see the future but merely the past and present. With each of these blackouts the lines become entangled until this black cloud. The cloud is the starting point for the next group of time guardians. You remember when the last group faded. We were set with the job of guarding time until fading ourselves. The real question is do you remember the transition period of the one hundred years after the collapse of Atlantis?" The conversation between the two finally was beginning to get to the point that Lethor wanted to make sure Meliain got.
"After the collapse of Atlantis the two realms fought until they split. The War of The Living and The Dead. The saying History Repeats itself…"
"Is quite applicable in this case." Lethor interrupted.
"So, we, the Prophets, are losing time. Soon these new Out of Time Exsisters will show up. In the wake of our disappearance from the time stream as Out of Time Exsisters the Realm of the Dead will erupt in chaos like it did when Atlantis fell. Nothing will be certain for anybody." Meliain started to pace circles while getting all the more anxious.
"Meliain." Lethor stated calmly and with precision.
"We were each chosen by our people. What will become of our homelands?"
"Meliain." Lethor repeated her name trying to stop her rant.
"True I am one of the powerless Dragons, I was nearly exiled at five decades."
"Meliain." Lethor said while trying to hold back his impatience.
"Why was I chosen by my people to be a Prophet when Pariah found the book. Why were you chosen to be a Prophet at the same time? Why were any of us chosen to become the greatest sorcerers in the Realm of the Dead?"
"Meliain." Lethor nearly yelled her name this time.
"Yes." The female spirit turned to look Lethor right in the face.
"You are rambling."
"Oh"
"We must prepare for Grim entering as our student… As for why, no one knows, perhaps it was fate."

A/N:OK I know. EVIL! But I wanted to at least get up a chapter. I am sorry that you were hoping that Grim would start the Magic lessons this chapter but I am having Writers-block problems on Reaper and Definitely Harmful. Please review anyway. I enjoy your reviews more than you could realize. Especially Esme Kali Phantom, SquirrelGirl13, and Phantomshadowdragon. Your reviews keep this going. Next Chapter I promise will be Grim's meeting and first lesson. So one review and this will get updated, eventually.
