Once again the calling summoned him from Homewood away from the studies he had been soaking in. The world was simply reforming, creating Vykeli into something only one of the Others tried destroying. Those crumbling cities, decaying from neglect were signs that Tsarine noted something went terribly wrong at some point. Now with his hooves carrying him to the edge of the barrens once more, he realized that his time to shine. Thinking back to the ruins, the adventure in the barrens even gave him a sense of responsibility. To learn more about his gift he had to dive deeper giving Olelander more to work with.
Ayala had had left behind to watch over Pippen in explanation she couldn't be there for this amazing journey. To be granted an honored gift of the great tree was something only dreamers could fathom. If you contained the courage, your steps, achievements, and mostly your desire to heal Vykeli would bestow you a magical element worthy of healing your world around you.
Hooves moving steadily he headed in the direction of the great tree without haste. A simplified journey with greater importance then the younger version of him in the ruins could of ever of fathomed let alone dream. His first vision had brought him back to the ruins so, he wondered where he'd be taken to this time. It hadn't felt like a dream beforehand rather, it was exceptionally real though he never saw the true Cat Beast (if that is what it was).
Some could argue it was just his imagination but, he knew otherwise.
He had forgotten how long it was to reach the tree or was his determination swirling in thoughts once more about the Barrens, the ruins? Simply all of Vykeli in a whole combined together was swirling in his mind as soon as he saw the Great Tree ahead of him. As he approached he slowed down to a simple walk approaching in honor of the great creation that had granted him an amazing gift beforehand. Once again his breath grew heavy as his hooves stepped toward the Great Tree giving him that warmth and determination he carried within. Standing there he felt humbled looking upward at that Magnificent tree that gleamed among the barrens like a beacon.
Stepping forward his voice stayed steady addressing the tree whom he knew listened to those that answered it's call, "Oh Great tree I have heard your call once more leading me here".
Dipping his head once more he laid his horn against the mighty base of the tree closing his eyes. Like the Barrens, the ruins, he would prevail. He had to if he continued to strive for healing Homewood.

Grandfather tree sways toward Tsarine as they approach, as if in recognition. The ground around its roots hums with ancient power.
Choose one of the following prompts for Tsarine's dream vision.
Quote:
Everyone has a place in the community, as the responsibilities of adulthood set in, you must determine what you`ll do with your life. Describe your noulicorn figuring out their place in society and what role they’ve chosen.
Quote:
You find yourself in your childhood home, a foal once again. Even though you know this is only a vision, you have free reign to do anything you’d please while you’re in the dreamscape. How do you spend your time? Do you try to fix something from your past, relive joys, or visit with someone who has since passed on?

Sometimes difficult choices must be made. You find yourself in the bog. Ahead of you, two noulicorns are being swallowed by the mire and face drowning. You only have time to save one. The first is an ascended noulicorn who can and has contributed greatly to healing Vykeli. The other is a young, giftless foal. What do you do?

As Tsarine closed his eyes a light flowed around him like a soft blanket. It grew so incredibly bright that his head seemed buzzed from the sheer illumination surrounding him. Then in an instant it flickered out, dying into darkness. As he reopened his eyes, Tsarine was greeted once again with the entrance to the ruins. Standing there blinking he realized somehow he was but a foolish foal ready to make a foolish move. In the distance his parents called after him as before when he remembered leaving them straggling after him as he entered his life in the ruins. They were nearing his stationary spot right now which could immediately change everything that happened. He could just forget about the ruins and return being scolded for his disobedience. Simply, change fate, time, and essence of his memories. But, what would he of become if the Erli ruins hadn't beckoned him into her womb to be raised by her nurturing water and sanctuary? Having this powerful inkling put Tsarine in a deliberate debate among his other thoughts. Being a foal he longed to be with his parents once more even if they were cross with him. Yet, he knew the course of the past being changed would only hinder the present possibly injuring Vykeli in the process.
Stamping a hoof he waited for them tossing his small head then he entered the ruins.
Being a foal left him to the whim of chance as he slowly walked into the darkness causing him to gulp in fear. Just the other day he returned here in another dream strong and able enough to grow on his own. Even if he was a foal he could still try and stop what happened or somehow pause it. As they came up behind them he took off in a faster walk, though this time keeping them nearly behind him. Somehow he knew the path, the destined way to his sanctuary even if things were distorted and overly broken around him. Determination pushed him onward keeping out of reach of his father who was nearly upon him, desperate to yank him back to his worried mother.
"I can't.... not yet" he murmured leading them inward winding through the twists and turns of dilapidated buildings. In the back of his mind he knew he couldn't keep up this charade. Fate was a fickle mistress leaving him only time to repair damage before rights were righted. Deep within he longed to keep them chasing him no matter how long it took to know they were still there with him. Continuing to weave inward he saw the room where he uncovered his bucket. Oh, how he wanted to dig up his friend and show his parents just how much of an impact he himself had on the ruins. As he paused he felt a strong grip on his tail pulling him backwards. His father had caught up with him finally as the bucket still echoed out toward its friend.
"No.... not yet" he cried out jerking himself from his father's grasp.
He had to make it to safety so he could explain his reasoning for disobeying his father. Scrambling out of that forced grip he took off in a strong run as his little hooves could carry him. Now his father seemed further away causing him to scramble over collapsed rumble that carried him to his sanctuary. Breathing heavy he cried in spite of being found by his mother and father here in this sanctuary. Then things grew eerily quiet leaving him to wonder where they were. He had changed the past yet the quietness of their spirits caused worry. Perhaps things had not changed for he stood panting hearing an echo of something caving inward. "I can't change the past no matter how much I wanted to, even if I had a chance to. You're both still lost here in the ruins" he cried sniffling.
A bright light suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the room leaving a lost foal some hope with two glittering forms.
"I can't change the past no matter how much I wanted to even if I wanted to" he cried sniffling,
A bright light suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the room leaving a lost foal some hope with two glittering forms.
"We know Tsarine. Your mother and I are so very proud of how you've grown over the years", spoke the taller light.
"I've wanted to nuzzle you close and keep you safe in this horrid place. But you, my son have showed us this is a mystical place", a softer voice chimed from the smaller light.
"Tsarine, my son there's not much time but, I want you to continue being brave and compassionate as I always hoped you'd be'.
"We will always love you, Tsarine", they spoke with prod voices together.
Then they faded away leaving him alone standing next to his blue bucket. It had seemed so incredibly real and somehow Tsarine once again felt stronger. Seeing them once more left his heart beating passionately for there wasn't any remorse in the past. They were exceptionally proud of their son because he chose his own path not what was expected of him.
As the vibrant light reappeared once more he saw a shadowy figure in the corner watching him. Tsarine wasn't quite clear but he was certain that Cat Beast from before nodded his way. For a split second he saw his parents standing behind the creature smiling before everything became so bright he closed his eyes.
When the illumination seemed normal he opened his eyes to see the Great Tree standing there before him. Tsarine resonated with the vision he'd been given which he nodded to the tree, "I will do everything in my power to help Vykeli".
Deep within he knew his stronger power would impact the world around him. That's why the Great tree had chosen him once before.
