~The Kingdom of Soteria~ V.2 Pokémon rp! Completed

[agathokakologic]

Valor flinched as if someone had struck her at Lucina's words. A scene flashed through her head- one of the scenes that scared her most of all... she suddenly felt cold, hard weights wrapped tightly around her wings, making them feel as heavy as lead... she was weighed to the ground, trapped in chains, tied helplessly to a stone floor... sneering guards circled around the room, which seemed to be closing in on her, about to crush her into nothing... Lance was sprawled on the ground, and a Bannette was standing over him, a black orb in hand... it seeped into his forehead, and his closed eyes slowly flickered open... those soulless, black eyes, dull and lifeless... and that flashing, fanged grin... the figure seated on his throne... cruel laughter... and then she was whisked away to a hidden clearing. She felt weakened and battered... water and fire blasted around her... she felt cool wind against her side, and she turned to a vast wall of glittering ice... "I'm sorry, Valor, but he's too smart for that... I'll go with him..." The words echoed in her head, and she saw Icy being whisked away, in between a victorious Kiba and a mindless Lance... a picture of a barred, iron room, padded with colorful material, filled with wooden toys... an immense feeling of weakness... a hopeful eevee and umbreon... a weak, stumbling Lance, covered with purple sludge... and then the cold was replaced by intense, sweltering heat. A small blue figure was falling, falling, falling, into the abyss, lost forever... and then she was snapped back to the future. Valor closed her eyes and took a few shaky breaths, her chest heaving. She was shaking, and she could still feel the chains that had held her way back then. She'd been unable to save Lance then. Would she be unable to save him now?

Well to be honest my intention wasn't to kill, at least not yet. The purpose was more like to maim in order to get the answers I wanted then probably let you die on your own but whateves." Icy shrugged . "I'm sure you had no intentions however since it was so easy to knock you over like that." He gaze lowered and a smirk crossed her facial features as she would have gladly took her up on her offer if akino hadn't set her straight. She continued to walk behind them as the other talked about thrall which then made a question appear. "Hold on i thought you guys can only be reincarnated like yomi. If yomi appeared when the last raikou died then how exactly are you here? Does that mean that thrall will die soon or has already died?" She asked with a tilt of her head as what she had also said about the ancient language brought up the memory of lance whispering that strange word into her ear. Was that the word melyss was looking for? She began to think that it was but how exactly did lance know it and why did he tell it to her and not the others. "What does the phrase do exactly? Like what will the gate lead to if it is spoken?"

Crystal braced herself as the blast practically shifted her back slightly. She watch in shock, with tiny bits of amazement as the two royals duke it out. "D-do you think Leon has the strength to take down Melyss?" She questioned. "What if he doesn't prevail? What if... if she's able to defeat him and take over the kingdom?" Her voice began to have panic within it, feeling her muscles tense up. "What if..."
"Calm down Crystal. There's no reason to panic like that. Just stay calm and prepare for what may happen." Geno spoke as he adjusted his armor to a desirable position. He then faced towards the battle, examining every attack, block, and counterattack they execute. "Though Leon looks like he has the power to take Melyss down, that doesn't mean that Melyss has her own tactics. He lowered his head down for a moment, wondering in thought. "If she was able to plot all of this without a flaw, then I wouldn't be surprised if she pulled off a devious plan to defeat Leon..." He then pulled his head back up, glancing at the pokemon suspending over them. Though he would have easily snuck over and at least took out one of them, but that would have easily draw attention towards him and the others, putting them in peril. Geno prefers to wait. Wait for the perfect moment to strike.

Lucina could not help ,but fall silent at what icy say, slowly looking up as Akino stumbled over to Valor in an attempt to comfort her. She watched him put his neck over her shoulder and murmur to calm her down and Lucina looked away, her lip quivering, fighting back tears before she could no longer and she allowed her head to bow and cry. She made no attempt to quiet herself and she spoke in a blubbering sob "I just need to save him!" She whimpered "I am no gaurdian- I could not save the world that Melyss made it to be! So I need Thrall to stay alive-" she clutched the vial in his paws, 'even if that means I'll never exist!" Tears were streaming from her eyes and she went to stumble away from the group and went into the wall where she slid down to the floor. Akino blinked quickly and looked up at her. Akino pulled from Valor and stared at Lucina. "The only way... That could explain what you are saying is that you are-" "That I'm from the future." She rasped, only looking at them all for a moment before looking down the hall. "I am the guardian after Thrall and the gate is the portal to the world Melyss is trying to reach. It's how I got here. But she does not know the word, it can only be spoken by royalty" Akino looked up and stared at Lucina, eyes dark and he whispered "She is trying to make sure that what ever she does will allow her to dominate the future..."

(I just want to rp that this is common knowledge for everyone. Lucina is very upset and said that if she saves Thrall that she will never exist for this reason. When a guardian is living, there is an randomized outcome of who will be the next one. Every year, this outcome changes. To explain this it means the year the characters are living in, was to be lucina's year, and when this year ends (which it will soon since its winter) Another guardian will be choosen that is not lucina. So it all depends on the year Thrall dies which will decide who the next guardian will be.)

(U AND UR COMPLICATED PLOT TWISTS)

Valor took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes, forcing away the stream of memories that had tumbled along. "So Melyss wants to see the future to know if her plan will work. But the gateway needs a phrase that only the guardians know, so she's controlling Thrall to get it? And if this goes on, then Thrall will die, and you need to save him, even though it means that you won't exist?" She breathed shakily. She had always thought that it would be years and years before someone as cruel as Leviathan would come along. But Melyss... it'd been six months, and was she crueler than Leviathan? Valor tug her talons into the floor, her lance scraping against it. Suddenly, it felt like her hatred and rage at the queen had been fanned. First Jace, now Lance. First Leviathan, now Melyss. She wasn't going to let her take anything else away from her. "Fine, then. Let's go. Hurry!"

Icy went silent and watched Lucina start to cry. She didn't really know how to sympathize with her since Se have never been in that sort of situation. Would it just be best if all that knew the word to just dissapear? Therefore melyss would never he able to get access to the portal and I will never fall into the hands of evil ever again.. she thought be for e shaking her head. "We better hurry then as valor said. There is not telling how much time thrall has left and it seems that the main priority is to keep him alive and away from melyss.."

Sky had stayed clearly silent, choosing not to speak or reply. It was truly not her place to speak at all right now. Her eyes flickered to put Lucina into her vision and she just stared at the mass of brown fur. So, in her time, that was when Melyss took over. She would sacrifice her life for the other. Gave a short glance to everyone that was there before she looked down to her paws. Lost in her thoughts. So many things were happening, going past in a gust of wind. The sylveon solemnly shook her head, closing her eyes. She didnt have much to say at all. There was nothing for her to say at that point anyways.

Lucina made a lousy attempt to compose herself after her childish blubbering and Akino waited a moment before asking quietly "Lucina...how old are you?" She lifted a large paw and wipped her tears away and whimpered "I'm eleven..." Akino showed no emotion to this response and he nodded slowly "You're very mature for your age Lucina..." He murmured and placed a paw on her shoulder. She pulled away and franticly wcleaned heralded up and muttered, starting her way down the hallway "I had no choice..." She went on without seeing if they were following

Melyss used roar as Leon was closing in on her and blew up away with the strength it reverberated. Leon did not land on his paws this time and rolled violently before his body skid to a stop. Melyss was somewhat harmed as well but not nearly as Leoniddas."I trained the entire kingdoms guards to fight. You would expect I'm going to trump you right? Or are you that dense?..." She slowly approached him and kicked his side in which he groaned in pain at before he opened his mouth and shot Fire at her feet, making her jump up and out of the way, but while in mid air she had no where to escape and he leaped up, his body glowing white with the power of strength and he hit her hard to slam her into the ground

Crystal felt a sense of guilt in her guts. She felt ashamed that no one, not even herself was assisting the king. But, if she were to help, that would signal the pokemon to rain down and ambush them. Since the others haven't arrived yet, leaving them outnumbered. What's taking them so long?
The stone, sitting on the pedestal, casting its glorious glimmer made Geno wonder. What was it there for? What was Melyss planning with the stone? Probably something malevolent, of course. But what is that particular plan? If Thrall wasn't in her grasp, maybe he can give out some pointers on its function.

Valor followed Karai, deep in thought. She could remember when she herself was eleven. She'd spent her days learning simple sparring techniques and being taught how to use other basic weapons. She'd shot arrows, threw spears, slashed swords, spun nunchuks... Her primary weapon now was a sword. She still knew how to use the other weapons that she'd tried... just not too well. It seemed so simple compared to Karai's. She'd hung out with Jace, sharing creamsicles and icepops and sparring with eachother in her free time. They'd perched together in the sturdy, oaken branches of their favorite weeping willow, listening to the calm rush of the nearby creek and the soft rustle of willow leaves as they swished in the cool breeze, talking about their day and usually sharing a treat as they stared at the lilac dusk. Karai was leaping into portals and going into the past in an attempt to save someone and free him from an evil queen despite fading into existence if they won. Valor shuffled her talons- it was far from relaxing on a thick limb, relishing a cool breeze while nibbling on a creamsicle with your brother beside you.
