Chapter 5: dream and seven years of cropping
Both the imps slowly woke up as they helped one another up as they noticed a branch on the ground as thunder rumbled loudly as they noticed a leaf on it…a chance to be something…more
I thought I did what's right.
I thought I had the answers.
I thought I chose the surest road,
But that road brought me here.
Blitzo took the first step and lift the branch up, but it Fell but he held it up as Barbie got a stake and placed it against it as it stood upright as Blitzo used his kilt to strip off a cloth and tied it on the branch as the two siblings studied the branch
I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now, just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear
Later the two gathered water and grew the branch as it grew slowly into a tree
You know better than I.
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why.
For you know better than I.
The two worked together as they pick up a rock and one by one they placed the rock near the tree as memories flashed in there minds
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing "I don't know"
Is part of getting through
The two remembers the images of there birth and then being sold and to now being imprisioned
I try to do what's best,
And faith has made it easy.
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you.
Rocks are formed around the tree as it grows as they placed more forming a rock barrier around it as they studied there work
For you know
Better than I
You know
The way
With there efforts the tree was growing more and more
I've let go the need to know why.
For you know better than I.
The two sat on a rock as they studied what they made together to help a tree prosper.
(Years later)
Both Blitzo and Barbie were now full grown imps with Barbie wire growing hair as Blitzo poured water on the now growing tree as the two smiled at the now growing tree that was now sprouting fruit thanks to there effort
I saw one cloud and thought it was the sky
I saw a bird and thought
That I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird to fly.
If I let you reach me. Will you teach me?
For you know better than I.
They placed a few more rocks almost completing the barrier as more memories appeared for both of them as later Blitzo used a rock to cut off the longer hair on barbie to a manageable amount
You know the way
I've let go
The need to know why
I'll take what answers
Both smiled softly at the tree as they were proud at what they did together.
You supply. You know better than I.
Later a older and ashamed looking Eclipse shine carefully opened the prison door making the two turn to him "Eclipse?" Asked Blitzo as Eclipse sighed "My father…the mayor said you both interpret dreams" he said surprising the two imps "That's true me and my brother can and?" Asked Barbie as Eclipse took a breath "The mayor is tortured by a dream, none of his advisors can explain it, I'm to bring you both to the palace" said Eclipse as both the imps smiled gratefully knowing how it happened 'thank you Angel dust' they thought in unison the two were lead out before stoping "Eclipse?" Started Blitzo as he and Barbie smiled at him "Its good to see you again" he said as the fox looked down "How could I ave allowed this to happen? My wife…" started Eclipse as Barbie placed a claw gently on his shoulder
"Its ok we understand lets go" said Barbie gently as the two imps looked at the grown tree in the prison as well as Eclipse shine as the two departed as the door closed.
In a room a silver fured 9 tailed male fox sinner kneeled at a shirine with various deities "For the sake of pride relive my suffering" he prayed as the statues he prayed to glowed a bit as the servents dressed him in a beautiful kimono of red and blacks and whites, he was White meteor the father of Eclipse shine. Once dressed he turns to where Eclipse shine and Blitzo and Barbie wire, now cleaned up and Barbies hair cut as they were dressed nicely approached "Mayor…father?" He asked as White meteor looked at his son with a serious look "Are these two imps the one you spoke of?" He asked as Eclipse bowed "Yes…father" he said politely as the older fox looked at the two imps "I'm told you two mearly need to hear a dream and you can explain it" said White Meteor "Not us your lordship, the explanation comes from Lord Satan" said Blitzo "He is the one who guides us and tells us what the dreams mean" said Barbie as White Meteor sighed and looked to the side.
"None of my wise men or any of my dream interpreters or none of my gods from when I was alive could help me *Gives a serious look* what makes your hell god is any diffrent?" Said White meteor "Just give us a chance Lord Mayor" said Barbie softly and gently as White meteor studied them "Please tell us your dream Mayor" asked Blitzo as he sighed rubbing his forehead "Every night its the same" he said
Dream sequence
It shows white Meteor looking like a nine tailed fox on all fours as he was at the river near the farmstead
White meteor: I am standing by the river of pride, seven healthy hell cows graze peacefully on the banks
Seven hell cows were grazing near the river calm and happy…just then a terrible storm commenced as the poor cows brayed as thunder struck the ground as seven sickly cows rose from the waters walking close
But then seven horrible sickly cows came from the same river, the most horrid and wrecked sight I have ever seen since my fell to hell
The sickly cows then pounced on the healthy cows ripping into them devouring them whole as the fox watched in shock as blood pooled as they were ripped to shreds.
Suddenly they began to devour the healthy cattle and yet…the cows remain as sick as before
The fox was horrified as it fast to black
End dream sequence
"And then I wake up" said White meteor sadly "Is there more?" Tell us" said Barbie softly as White meteor nodded 'Yes another dream always follows" said White meteor
Dream sequence
The same silver fox was seen in a filed of grain but there were seven that were tall and proud
White meteors voice: seven years of grain, full and golden growing from a single stock
The fox sniffed as suddenly there was a grand rumble as seven rotten stocks of maize appears from the ground
Suddenly seven ears hardened and scorched spring up on the same stalk and kill the seven good ears of corn
The weathered and worn stalks of corn ate the healthy stocks leaving everything dead and barren
End dream sequence
"All that remains are shriveled grains unfit to eat, and nothing else" said White meteor as he looked serious at the two imps "Well?" He asked as the two shared a look and nodded in realization what the dreams mean as Blitz spoke up first "The dreams are one Mayor White Meteor, the healthy cows and ears of grain are seven years of abundance, the sickly cows and the withered grains means seven years of famine will follow and destroy the land" said Blitzo as the others gasped in shock "Pride and Wrath may not survive as they are to be the most affected then the other rings" said Barbie knowing how enterlined the two rings are "Can this be stopped? What can be done?" Asked White meteor as Barbie gently touched the table and saw a plate of grapes as she and blitzo shared a look and nodded as she picked up seven berries "You must find a man or women you can trust, during the years of plenty have them collect one-fifth of the grain from every field and store it under guard, then during the years of famine give it back to the people" Said Barbie "its only then will both Pride and Wrath survive" said Blitzo
The old fox nodded in understanding as he looked at his son "Eclipse do you trust these two imps?" Asked White meteor "WIth my life excellency" he said as the crowd muttered a bit as later White meteor came to the balcony with Barbie and Blitzo behind him with Eclipse stepping forward "Through these two imps I have seen the future of pride and through there deeds we shall prosper." Said Eclipse shine as the crowd cheered
White Meteor then placed a necklace on both Blitzo and Barbie "I am giving them power over all of Pride, only the mayor will be greater" he said as the crowd cheered and aplaougly wildly.
"You shall call them Oracle and Sage, for through them the patron god of Imps speaks through them and they speak for them" said White meteor as Blitzo (Oracle) and Barbie (Sage) were amazed and proud as the crowd cheered there new names as they smiled softy as they held there hands happy for what had happened.
Later Blitzo and Barbie were walking down the hall as they stoped at the doorway noticing Stolas and Stella with Stella holding a Sylvyon with a familiar ribbon in her arms and Stolas holding a familiar dough sinner hand but now with a more humanoid shape due to emotional age (AN: think how KatelynnthG made a Dohy Gijinka) as the two smirked as they poured a bowl of milk and got a plate of fresh cookies as the two noticed and sniffed as Dohy smiled in realization as he ran over with Primrose as Stolas and Stella giggled seeing them "Come on now you two come back" they said as they stopped noticing two familiar imps as they smiled "Oracle/Sage" said Stolas and Stella "Actually my name is Blitzo" "And mine is Barbie wire" they said as the two birds and imps looked at each other as Dohy and Primrose smiled seeing that "you really are a messenger of your god" said Stolas as Blitzo and Barbie smiled sharing a look "We are indeed" said Blitzo as they smiled as Blitzo took Stolas hand and Barbie Stellas as they walked down the hall and then kissed on another as music played as time passed it shows they are married as the crowd cheered.
A single voice is joined by multitudes in songs
With every verse they're finding harmonies
Later blitzo and Barbie were seen planting seeds on the ground in preperation for the 7 years of plenty
That rise to hevan sure and strong
The two notice several females as well as Bella and her mates as well as Stolas and Stella "We have come to help" said Stolas "if you will allow us" said Stella as the two smiled "That will be great" said Blitzo "The more the marryer" said Barbie
Richer and richer the soil
Each were seen in asssiting in growing the crops even some of Bella and her mates children helped out as well.
On which they thrive
Higher and higher a hymn of what it means to be alive
Time passed as the crops were grown and harvested by the farmers
You've got to give a little more than you take
You've got to leave a little more then what was here
Later Barbie helped a pregnet Stella up as he pat her belly as a little silver furred she-hellhound and a owlet joined to pat there aunts Belly as Blitzo, swollen with his own babe watched. Over time Blitzo and Stolas took in a lost hellhound pup they named Loona and a owlet they named Octavia as the future is bright and happy
You may be prideful of the strides you will make,
But keep one thing clear.
You're just a player in a much bigger plan,
And still you have to give it all that you can.
Soon the grass was cut and cured and the fields were filled with beautiful fruit that was plucked and prepped
The very measure of your soul is at stake, you've got to give a little more then you take
The construction builders are seen making giant statue vaults as Blitzo and Barbie examine the blueprints
The seasons fly
A man stands a boy once stood
His path unfolds
And unafraid he walks in service
Of a greater good
Later a imp with snowy patches of snowy skin and a swan imp hybrid named Yuki and Hedwig were in Barbies arms as a Pregnet Stella smiled as in Stolas arms was a hybrid owl named Stolizo as Blitzo, now having a pregnet belly watched the progress and feeling happy at his growing family as Loona and Octavia joined the group
Deeper and deeper, the lessons he has known.
Soon all the grains and fruit were seen harvested and stored properly into each giant statue
Over and over, the message he is surely being shown.
You've got to give a little more than you take.
As both families watched Blitzo, Stolas, Barbie and Stella smiled proudly as a older Loona and Octavia and a slightly older Yuki, Hedwig and Stolizo came to there parents with there younger siblings/cousions held hands watching as well
You've got to leave a little more than was here.
You may be prideful of the strides you will make,
But keep one thing clear.
Through the handwork of each citizen as they grunted and struggled a bit through hard work to do it as they filled the statues with grain
You're just a player in a much bigger plan,
And still you have to give it all that you can.
The very measure of your soul is at stake,
You've got to give a little more than you take.
(Seven Years Later)
The last statue with grain was filed as the time of plenty was over
The very measure of your soul is at stake,
You've got to give a little more than you take.
Once the last statue was sealed..harsh winds and a dangerous sandstorm was seen blowing around. Far in the distance in the wrath area, a imp took out a bucket from a well…only to find mud instead of water
The seven years of famine had begun
As at the vaults the guards opened the first statue vault…
Authors note: though satans will Blitzo and Barbie has saved Pride and Wrath with there power of dream interpretations and had guided pride through seven years of plenty and have started a family with Stella and Stolas as things are peaceful.
Next chapter the time of seven years of famine begins as the rations are passed out however a familiar face soon arrives from wrath that tests both Blitzo and Barbie
