He looked out the large window that watched out on the entire capital city. Large red roofs sat on tall gray buildings that stretched high into the air, looming majestically over the trees and roads.
Citizens were missing from their usual chores of daily activity. There were no shoppers strolling the streets, or elders lounging about.
That was perfectly explainable, though. A great plague thought to be brought by migrating Yanmega had settled upon the great capital.
He was undeterred, however.
His strength was much, and his power grand; a mere disease would not bring such a strong man down, he said to all inquirers. Instead, he looked over piles of notes he had collected in his years.
He sat on the third floor of the royal palace, his dark hair merely brushing over his intense wine-colored eyes. His white gloved hands moved over his shield over and over in an almost loving fashion as he shined and polished it in the sun's rays.
That shield was the sign that showed his accomplishments, his honor, his ability as a knight of Jota, even more so than the fancy white cape that hung from his neck and flowed past his strong knees, and the large golden-hilted sword strapped on to his waist along with his multiple glimmering Pokeballs.
The door was locked behind him, so that no unexpected servant or maid might walk in on him as he studied and pored over his strategies and plans.
If he did this, then that happened...and if he did that...
No one disturbed him throughout the afternoon, and no one would. If a man of his caliber requested as to not be bothered, not even a lord or lady would dare to bother him. He was content.
What happened if—No, then that would stop this which wouldn't work for him at all...
The two portraits that hung in front of him were of the King, His Majesty Dayan and the Lady, Queen Jade. Two candles—green, as that was the color of the Lady's namesake, and therefore both of their favorite colors—sat burning on the table directly below them, representing his hopes in them recovering.
As he sat reading, both King and Queen laid on their deathbeds as the plague took its tolls on them. They had no heir.
Yes, it would be an interesting year indeed.
This is the prologue of an idea I had while reading a medieval times book. Other chapters will be longer. I promise.
Yes, this takes place at the beginning of the regions. However, since it was such a long time ago, things are different and some things do not exist yet. I will do my best to give you the basic idea so you can understand.
The region names are different (as it is very possible that they just changed over time) and the newer regions such as will not have been discovered yet.
Johto is called Jota, now. Her capital is Ecruteak.
Sinnoh is Sinnoa, with her capital as Celestic Town.
Hoenn remains the same; the capital is Mauville.
Kanto is named Kantus; with Viridian as the capital.
The Orange Isles are not islands yet, and are called Oran.
That being said, if there's anything else I forget, I'll put it on my profile under my current fics. Extra info, announcements, etc., all that will be on my profile. Btw, I already have the first announcement up, so feel free to check that out~
Reviews are widely appreciated. ;D
