Conclusion
1565 Words
After the whole group of people before me had gotten their anxiety and worries slightly extinguished by the move of the subject on new designs of arrowheads and plated armour, I moved on to the next topic which was quite uncertain and I do not know where to start in the first place.
"Listen up guys, during that time I had a chat with the future Eagle and I did ask him on what happened after the Hundred Years War that provoked those creatures to come and attack humankind."
"Although I do not have a specific answer form him during the time in my dream, I clearly remembered he mentioning about the suppressed beings wanted to avenge their oppression and freedom, so that's the reason why they retaliated in this way."
I went over to my seat and slumped back slowly and slouched back as I called out to Eagle to organise a research team to look further into these beings such as goblins, gnomes, orcs, imps et cetera and even fairies too.
Some of the pioneers stifled their laughter since I had emphasised too much on my dreams as a state of emergency well ahead of its time and was even scoffed by the mere thought of it.
"To do research on these beings are not for the sake of researching but we would try to communicate with them as much as we can. Michael, you have the ability to conjure Minerals from the earth and from anywhere else in this world back to your pan."
"But do you have any means to contact these creatures or have any forms of interaction with any of these beings before? How about Earl, Walter or even Penelope? They dwell with the earth as well, I am sure they had some kind of glimpses of them around?"
I asked Priest Michael but he shrugged his shoulders and would ask the rest when he got back to the Guild later on. At this moment, everyone took it as a lighter note as I mentioned mythical creatures that not even anyone had seen before.
Besides the mutated armadillo a winter ago.
"You can't change fate and destiny, Sam. But you can alter the present to have a different outcome in the future."
The words rang out clear and crisp in the conference hall and everyone can't help but stated at Samuel that had stood and spoken up with a blank look in his face and with dilated pupils as he stated blankly ahead after he had said his piece.
Soon after he sat down and recovered as he saw many faces were looking at him as he asked what was the matter. "Samuel, you called me Sam. It's a name I once heard in my dream. Are you trying to tell me something since I had heard the sentence quite a few times already about changing fate and destiny."
"You even said, wait... What did you say earlier? Oh yeah... Alter the present change the outcome in the future."
As usual, Samuel could not give me a definite answer as he shrugged his shoulders and twiddle his fingers since he knew that at times, actually, most times he would be in a subconscious state when he spoke some words that he had no recollection of.
This was one of the weird mannerism of a Seer but only certain times he would be aware of certain thing such as mentioning to me about being reborn and also the scar on my upper left arm when I was...well, Robin Hood.
When everyone had gotten their specific tasks, the calmed Heather spoke up and asked, "Did it really happen in the future, I mean that I had died with the twins that time?"
"What about what Samuel had said earlier about unable to change fate and destiny but the ability to change the present in order to change the outcome in the future?"
As far as I remember, the portrait of us had smudges on their faces which meant that the possibility of things happening in the future could be altered right now?
If the future was clear, then their faces would be clear too and I could view how the twins looked like in the future. But instead...haish... it is so hard to even explain to myself.
"I did not see it happen, dear, at the start of my dream, I was in the battlefront and behind a mantlet. I had a few words with Clayton that time and that was it as he was surprised too that I didn't recall the timeline stated here."
I pointed to the slate and everyone noted of it. If they regard it as part of my dream, then they would not be able to see some new knowledge that I had drawn up on the slate.
If they regarded it as a premonition, then serious considerations need to be made so that they could somehow alter the present to have a more positive outcome in the near future.
"Then it could be considered as part of your dream, am I right? Dear... You should scare me and the twins with your rantings, you know...! Even if its a dream, it is still not real and I wonder how you can come up with those dates before you."
Heather was flabbergasted and was exasperatingly tried to dismiss the whole thoughts and discussions that we were having that evening. Not only was it harrowing for her but also for the pioneers and their children as well.
Inadvertently, this could not be avoided since I explained that the dates were being provided by the future Eagle by then.
Everyone heard this sighed but many marked my words as they would treat this as a premonition on the future that could be altered for now.
"Your Majesty, according to your dreams or foretelling of the future, does it mean that if we were to deal with those beings now, they would not come and sneak attack everyone when it was least expected, am I right?"
I pondered for a moment before I replied, "That's a definite affirmative solution but does annihilation be used to settle the matter at hand or have a peace treaty instead?"
Everyone shrugged their shoulders because ideally, they thought that if annihilation would be in process, it would hasten the town to be sneakily attacked but how would they be interacting with mythical creatures that if now had only appeared inside the journals and books?
No one could tell for sure but one thing was that on the other side of the universe or dimension, a holographic Max and a guidance system called Ceres were listening intently on the discussion that evening.
They were planning on how to enter the mind of Sam, also known as Audemars Macleod and interacting with him directly and not through someone whom the people knew as Samuel the Seer.
"Ahem... Alright, guys, I guess what His Majesty here had mentioned is worthy to take a second, third and fourth look. He had never been in this state before and what he had shown to us on the future arrowheads and future armour kit that he had worn in his dreams do indicate that his dreams were partly true."
"Since he had not seen our demise and his dreams had only started on the 9th August 1453, he seemed not to have a recollection of any other past events."
"Child, what else do you remember when you had that dream?"
Old Jack cleared his throat before he began to arrange his words carefully so that it would not offend me or any others. Besides, he and Old Kayla would have nothing to lose if they were to die on that day in the future as they had no descendants to worry about.
After much careful forming of sentences and speaking his mind, he waited for the words to sink in as everyone waited with bated breath on what I would say next.
"When I entered the easternmost gate, I find a lot of homes had been filled up. To say, we had a lot of inhabitants that formed the community and their homes and crop fields were not harmed in any way."
"The residents were thankful to the Almighty when they saw their husbands, sons or nephews among the soldiers that walked through the gates and only broke down and cried to find their loved ones not among us."
"I saw the dead had been arranged and in the process of getting them shrouded. Prior to that, I saw all the essential service buildings here had been bombarded by the gnomes, I guess by means of a fireball that struck the top of the buildings."
"By the way, Michael, you would have many more companions that what we have right now. It's enough to fill in a three-storey Guild and each and every one of them were assembled before me and was answering some queries before I fell and woke up back here in the present time."
"Well, Old Jack... That's all I could recall on the day I met future Clayton and Eagle that day." I tapped lightly on the table and pointed to the date that lay suspended within the timeline and only 2 people knew how to explain the reasons behind the drawing I had made.
