Eclipson

Prologue

A swan-like being raced through the deep, dark forest at midnight, a bright light had caused this sudden burst of speed. A light that can only mean one thing, a light that could only ever appear every thousand years. She was heading for a little, old shrine in the forest, a shrine modelled after Jirachi, the wish Pokémon. She hadn't ever believed that the shrine could help your prayers, but at the light's signal, she could at least hope it could be true. Can't hurt to try, right? Cresselia was her name, giver of good dreams, a being that could push nightmares away.

She had often spent time when she was bored chasing her counterpart, Darkrai. He was the bringer of nightmares, and she chased him away to retrieve the person's happy dream. He could gain energy from fear and sadness. Cresselia could gain energy from happiness, they were like complete opposites.

The shadow of Darkrai was also flying through another dark forest at speed, heading for his homemade den in the middle of a giant, hollow tree. He had known that he would live until this day, but never could be bothered to actually prepare for it. He had been dreading for when the light was to come, as it meant he had to team up with Cresselia, whom he had never gotten to know.

It was this light that they both feared. Only Cresselia and Darkrai knew the meaning, and only they knew they were the only ones to stop it. This bright light was the start of an apocalypse. It was the start of Eclipson.
