Will:
Oracle, we are honored to...
The Mage:
[passionately embracing the Oracle (another man to who Will thought was the Oracle)] My dear Oracle!
Yan Lin:
That's Tibor. Cute one is the Oracle.
Will:
Er... right!
The Mage:
I remain your humble servant.
The Oracle:
And yet, somewhat more affectionate than I recall. But I share your enthusiasm. We have all waited years for this day.
Hay Lin:
Isn't this exciting?!
Irma:
Isn't WHAT exciting?! I mean, I'm sorry, when can someone tell us what is going on?
The Oracle:
Now. Tibor, if you please.
[Tibor uses his powers to create a purple viewing globe, which visually depicts The Oracle's speech ]
The Oracle:
Since time immemorial, it has been the Council's task to protect the Infinite Dimensions. But thirteen years ago, Prince Phobos came to power. The threat he posed was so grave, we were forced to quarantine Meridian from the other worlds, to prevent the spread of his evil. And so, the Veil was raised. But now, Phobos has been defeated and a new day is about to dawn!
[The Council use their combined powers to create a ball of blue energy, which shoots up into the sky and turns Kandrakar blue]
Taranee:
Woah squared.
The Oracle:
It is done. The Veil has been lowered. May the need for it never rise again
Will:
[To Elyon] What are the Guardians of the Veil, if there's no Veil, to guard?
[Later]
The Oracle:
[To Yan Lin and The Mage] You would both be valuable additions to the Council.
Yan Lin:
I'm very flattered, Oracle, but also very retired.
The Mage:
I do accept this honour, but on Meridian, I am also tasked with keeping Phobos in his cage. The minion Miranda has already escaped.
Elyon:
Miranda escaped?! Why am I only hearing about this now?! Never mind, I have to go! I have to get her.
The Oracle:
I sense disharmony on Meridian, but your powers, unchecked, my young Queen, presents an equal danger. We have much to meditate upon, before you can return to your kingdom.
Caleb:
Your Highness, I will capture Miranda, no matter what it takes.
Elyon:
What it takes is teamwork.
[Cornelia looks away, angrily]
Will:
[shocked] Who? Us?! But I thought...
The Oracle:
You are now the Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions!
Irma:
Does that come with a raise?
Taranee:
Um, just one teensy-weensy glitch. When the Veil went poof, didn't all the portals poof with it?
The Oracle:
The Veil's passing opens up the old ways of traversing dimensions. Mage?
[The Mage uses her ring to shoot a blue beam of energy, to create a fold in space, through which they can see other dimensions (currently, Meridian)]
The Mage:
Will, what I do with my Mage Ring, you will learn to do with the Heart.
The Oracle:
And what they do with talismans, you may accomplish, simply as part of your birthright.
Elyon:
So, no new jewellery?
The Mage:
This, child, is a fold in space.
Hay Lin:
Next stop - Meridian!
[The Guardians go through the fold, appearing in the now smoking Meridian.]
