Although, you soon found yourself in the woods with the hawk hovering beside you. You looked around. Everything was dead still and deafeningly silent. The world was of a slightly gray color, but nothing near to the mind scape. Birds were hovering midair and the trees stayed indefinitely tilted from unmoving wind. "What's going on...?" you asked quietly, as if everything could suddenly spring to life at any moment.

"I am the hawk, dear goose, and I stop time. I am the messenger. The reason I was in that book. I am to send you the message to help change the fate of this world. You have seen the carvings, yes?" the hawk answered, its pure white, glowing eyes boring into you.

"Uh... yeah. Mt. Hood erupting. In Altsoba's carving theres a triangle floating over it and monster things coming out of the crater..."

"That is the fate your choice has sealed. There is no changing this destiny. But, perhaps, you can end it swiftly. The demon is not aware how close of a watch we spirits have kept. The Symbols stopped his first reign before we could intervene, but we cannot intervene this time."

"But, why? Why can't you fix this now?"

"Change is coming. A great one. We are prophets, dear goose, and we live by our visions. We did not intervene when our humans were slaughtered by those of their own kind, who believed our humans, the natives of this land, were savages who needed to be either taught or killed. That was the beginning of a revolution. We have not intervened when your kind destroy our humans' rivers and our humans' lakes, create manmade craters in forest land and in mountains. You are a result of merciless slaughter, both man and nature. The demon is a result of his own intent. If you can change what you were born into, he can change what he has made himself to be. That is why we mustn't intervene. Our intervention could result in one or both of your deaths. And one cannot live without the other. The demon would once again lock away his feelings and take his revenge on this world. You would no longer see point in anything. You would, too, lock away your feelings. A shell of what you had potential to be. So I hope you do understand why you are the catalyst of change, and I am sorry, but I cannot relay much more than that."

"Is that all you needed to say? What was the point of coming here?"

"I am here to show you the result of your choice. Understand that I hold no intention of making you feel like a betrayer."

You nodded, "Of course."

The hawk began to fly off, and you followed after. It wasn't long until you came to a perfectly still, floating triangle. You expected to see a red tint in his color, but instead saw blue. Did Bill turn blue when he was upset? It did make sense.

"Come. I will begin time once again. He must not know we are here. He will destroy me and capture you, and then an endless reign of terror will be unstoppable."

You quickly nodded once again and hid behind a tree. The hawk shrank to normal hawk size and hid in one of the tree hollows. Slowly, but surely, time began to flow again and the clouds rolled by lazily. The birds resumed their chirping and the wind blew across the earth again. Last to come back into the flow of time was Bill, who flickered for a small moment before reanimating.

"-thing. Everything! After everything I did for her she trusts those idiots instead of me! Does a deal mean nothing to humans?!" Bill resumed his rant, flashing red each time he threw down his arms in anger. "I should have killed them when I had the chance... Then this malarkey would have never happened!"

There was a long pause as Bill played with the fire that sprouted out of his hand like a large, blue flower. He swirled it around, just gazing into the fire until finally snapping out of his daze and looking back at the ground, hands behind his back. "I mean, I had no intention of fulfilling that stupid little prophecy. I'll spite those stupid 'spirits' of the Oracle dimension! Shove it right in their stupid little faces that I don't conform to any of their stupid rules!" Bill looked around angrily for a moment, and your heart sank, thinking Bill knew you were there. He then returned ranting, acting as if his glare gained the attention of the trees. "But what's the point if I have no one to laugh about it with? Quill spilled the ink and now it's staining the floor! Ruling this dimension will be even better without that stupid magnetic field of Gravity Falls or whatever the hell the old man was talking about! And if any of them think for one moment that that'll stop me, THEY'RE WRONG! I'll throw them right into the vacuum of space! Burn the town to the ground! Cause a forest fire! Take the human route and drop a bomb on them like a shoe to an ant!"
