[@Master-Works]

Something Tavra learned the hard way

[@Eragarev]

Auhgra is so much like Gandalf. A wise wizard, who is so much more than they appear, who gets brushed off as being over dramatic when they foretell doom.

[@yiledute]

The issue here is that Auhgra is only telling them to wait until a prophecy happens. The Skeksis would've continued tormenting them regardless, them fighting or not wouldn't prevent their massacre.
Besides, for Auhgra's vision to become true, the destined gelflings wouldn't embark in their journey if the gelflings hadn't been in the brink of extinction. This conflict was inevitable, either they died at their homes or at the castle.

[@jeremytung1632]

And what is Kira, I want to say Vapran.

[@myrin265]

@@jeremytung1632 she’s most likely vapran, but there are theories that her background is a mix of vapra & stonewood/grottan. it would make sense; some of her features set her apart from most vapran gelfling (ex. darker eyes, hair sometimes has a greenish hue rather than pure white-blonde). it would also create another link between the series & the movie: kira being related to rian, deet, and brea somehow would be a really interesting connection!

[@Commanderziff]

"Can't say Aughra didn't try!"
You can say that Aughra gave them nothing useful. Run away and Skeksis will just die out on their own somehow. How exactly?
"Somehow! Not sure, but somehow!"
It's not like Aughra has ever gotten things horribly wrong before, like when she gave the Crystal to the Skeksis in the first place.
"Aughra sees all, just... not all of the all... IT'S VERY SIMPLE! STOP ASKING AND JUST TRUST IN AUGHRA'S VAGUE RAMBLINGS!"

[@windhammer1237]

Aughra told them not to attack the castle.
You didn't get it.

[@efaristi9737]

don't think they are supposed to know that she is responsible for that cristal story.
Seeing all paths doesn't mean necessarily "seeing everything with clarity", imagine seeing several tapistries each displaying a different futur, so many details to register. If you focus on one, you might miss out what happens on the others. It's even worse if the futur isn't set in stone and events can change it.

[@Amadeo790]

@@efaristi9737 very nicely out about seeing the future. Honestly it’s the explanation that makes more sense.

[@efaristi9737]

@@Amadeo790 thanks^^

[@Razgriz85]

Didn't think she saw how the Skeksis would use the Gelflings as a means to gain eternal youth, along with how they'd taint the crystal after she gave it to them for safe keeping while on her spirit journey around the universe, which the Skeksis tricked her into going on.

[@MrGojira95]

@@angelobrattoli4663 ​ Deet’s vision pretty much gives an idea on what Season 2 would’ve been. The show would’ve had their own take on the Garthim War, Deet was sitting on a throne, consumed by the darkening, she would’ve maybe (maybe not) used as an “ultimate weapon” for the Skeksis to maybe mind control Gelflings to be sacrificed, Rian would be searching for the shard that would make the Crystal whole, but it turns out he puts the wrong one in, which causes a Great Catastrophe. We would have seen who Jen and Kira’s parents were as well. In Deet’s vision, there was a Mother who hid her child from a Garthim. That’s definitely Kira’s mother.
Honestly, as much as I love this series, making it 2 seasons would make more sense than giving it multiple seasons, and cancelling it before the full story could be finished is disrespectful given how many horrible adaptations we’ve been getting back then and even now.

[@kaazimsheikh9034]

No...she literally said she wants them to survive. She told them to avoid the skeksis in order to live for as long as possible. The gelfling didn't listen to her, and went to war anyways. And how did that end up? With only two survivors remaining.

[@Dreamwriter4242]

She's a scientist and theologan who can see bits of the future. From her perspective a whole bunch of living Gelfling would reinforce the planet against the evils the Skeksis are perpetuating, since the Skeksis aren't from the planet. If those Gelfling all died, it would kinda doom the planet for a long time...

[@lochness5524]

Everything Aughra has ever done in this series was to ensure that the best possible outcome she could make would be the fate of the Gelfling. The one we got may not have been her first option, but at least the Gelfling’s avoided extinction

She's probably why the Darkening isn't bothering Jen and Kira since the Darkening can only go away until Jen heals the Crystal. But right now, we can't be sure of her ultimate fate. We just know that the Darkening isn't one of the threats Jen and Kira face.
