Chapter 8

Danny was silent as his cousin was standing there in person. More like floating in his fairy form. Something small Danny had noticed is that every few seconds Timmy's wings would dip before returning to where he was. He wasn't sure if his cousin was nervous or it was something that fairies did. In fact until just now Danny had only met with his cousin on a handful of occasions. Jorgen Von Strangle was a silent man staring at Timmy with the look of terror. On Jordan's face was a long shaggy gray beard and he was extraordinarily thin. It was clear he had been living in this cave for quite some time, probably centuries. "Well," the Old Man began. "I can tell you a few things, but not a lot. I have mostly experience and both of which are limited." The Old Man sat in his chair with the wooden cane he always walked with by his side. After Jorgen had left on some mysterious venture out of the cave to return with his collusion, the older fairy was just as confused as they were.

"What is going on? And where are we?" Timmy asked.

"In the future," the Old Man said. "Over a billion years into the future. Since the Death of your human parents."

"Oh," Timmy said. "Wait what?"

"Indeed Turner," Jorgen said. "It's been over a billion years since your death and the start of this brutal war. A war without end or sight."

"What?" Timmy asked, "War? Future? Can someone explain to me what's going on?"

"I think that I should be the one to do it," The Old Man said. "As we have established Timmy Turner we are over a billion years into the future. I am also from the future not this far into the future, but the future nonetheless. You may refer to me simply as the Old Man, gramps, etc. My real name and history is not important. I have had some ruins with wand-wavers such as yourself. On only 2 occasions have I ran into Melody and if I may presume she is the reason you are here."

"You know her? I ran into her in this strange place and said…things," Timmy said trying to explain the confusing set of events that lead him to Jorgen.

"Time travel," the Old Man said. With that the old Man looked at the young fairy. "I am in need of a white board."

"What?" Timmy asked. Jorgen sighed and with that a white board appeared in front of them. "Oh that's what you meant." Danny kept his tongue at his cousin's moments of stupidity. Then he had to remember that Timmy was just a toddler.

The old Man didn't come, just grabbed a marker and drew a line on the board. "Take reality as a linear, every flowing line all going in one direction. It would be easier to think of it as a river all going in one direction. Each piece of the river bed is everyone and things that have happened. Each piece is tiny, insignificant , but all play a part in keeping the river the way it is. This is how time should work however someone or thing threw a giant rock in this river of time. Disrupting its nature flow sending reverberations across the timeline. This has caused a timeline disruption that explains many of the strange periculatires we now find ourselves in. Its why we've been unable to find Danielle, why your cousin is a fairy and so on."

"How would you know?" Valerie asked.

"I was born long after you and Danniel perished," the Old Man said. "By that time humanity was plainly aware of magical and ecto primordial beings in existence. The Fairies had devoured into a civil war and everyone knew that cliff was known as Turner ravine. Well Timmy was supposed to die, but he didn't. Reverberations and now Blonda more proof. If she's looking for the other half of the visage…"

"What's the visage?" Timmy asked.

"A weapon," the Old Man said. "Long ago before man, ghost or fairy there was nothing, but a silent dead universe. Without reason or rhyme the universe erupted to life in an event we call the Big Bang. What came before? For simple even we do not know for that is before time itself began. What I do now is only hours after the big bang occurred the first instances of magic appeared. Small, but grew to decompose magic unlike anything that has come since. It is believed that all life magic based life such as fairies, anti-fairies, genesis and more are descendents from the Visage. A perfect creation it was said at one point to be the brightest star in the heavens. Though that is lost in myth. What I do know is that Melody and Blonda attempted to recreate it and failed. Some believed it was an attempt to win victory over the Fairy Council. Nonetheless if Blonda is looking for the other half. That means she's attempting to revive her daughter and you Timmothy are the key."

"Wat?" Timmy asked.

"Blonda, sometime after your death Timothy, or the day you were supposed to die. She disappeared for over a decade unaccounted for. With the youngest fairy to ever exist, how the baby came to be is mysterious. No one knew the father other than Blonda. The child was the first fairy to die in millions of years which set the fuel that lit into the ongoing civil war which has raged for over a billion years. Blonda was given a gifts unlike any other fairy as she found a way to sifen magic without the need of wands and she has a very special gift. The ability to foresee the future. A gift she used to extraordinary effect, but as time crawled on insanity set in. I believe that the reason you are a fairy, more accurately I speculate that Melody's or Blonda's interference in the timeline is the reason you are a fairy."

Timmy looked at the Old man, "Your not only the one whose facing timeline shifts. Daniel and I are chasing our own phantom. A creation of future Danny whose power is weaker than Blondas, but not to be underestimated. We need your help to fix things and set them on track. If we can stop Blonda from achieving her goals we can save your families life, even be able to prevent your parents, human parents from dying."

"So now what?" Valerie asked.

"For now we rest," the Old Man said. "Then tomorrow I have an idea, but we all need to be in our best shape."

Danny walked over to his cousin who was asking Jorgen several questions. The boy looked worried, but he didn't get too close. "And then the next thing I know I find Blonda's winged angel." His cousin explained to the man who was rather quite about the whole fare. "Oh hi cousin what's up?" Timmy asked.

"Thinking," Danny said.

"So how did you discover you were a fairy?" Danny asked.

"Well…" Timmy explained the entire situation of his life since his human parents demise.
