Latius shook her head drowsily as she woke from her slumber. Her violet eyes searched around and she nearly fell out of the tree she was in. This wasn't where she lived! She was in the most beautiful garden she had ever seen, and she lived in one of the darkest, dirtiest alleys in all of Alto Mare. She didn't feel…dirty either, and when she looked at herself in some water below, she was clean! Instead of the mangled brown Latius, she was a shining white and a lilac purple Latius. She hadn't looked like this in ages.

"Hi!" A small voice piped up behind her, making her crash into the water. She looked around, and found the sister of Latios looking right at her. "Um…hi? Where am I?" Latius asked. The Latias giggled. "You're in my home, and now it's your home too!" She bubbled, zooming in circles around Latius's head until they both were dizzy.

"Why?" Latius asked. Latias stopped. "You were living in a dark and dirty alley, and that's no place for a pretty little Latias like yourself! Plus, I need a companion, I've been terribly lonely ever since…Latios died." Latias explained. Her amber eyes started to water, and Latius floated over to comfort her, she didn't like crying, it was loud and a little obnoxious. This Latias was very young, Latius doubled in size compared to her.

Latias looked up and smiled. "Thanks…I'm sorry, it's just that, his death was so recent…I haven't gotten over it." She snuffed, wiping an eye with her paw. Latius stared at her awkwardly. "I'd be surprised if you ever did…" She murmured. Latias smiled again, and then her eyes widened. "Oh! My name is Latias! Is yours Latias too?" She asked suddenly. Latius raised an eyebrow space. "Er, my name's Latius, with a U. I don't like getting confused with others." She pointed out. Latias nodded her head ecstatically. "Hey! Wanna see the soul's drip?" She bubbled, already tugging on Latius's paw.

They arrived at one of the most exquisitely carved fountains Latius had ever seen. They peered down into the crystal clear waters, and there, in a small holder, was the most beautiful jewel Latius had ever seen. "It's…extraordinary." She breathed. Latias looked at her and smiled. "I know! I always thought Latios's soul would be beautiful." She said, reaching into the waters and stroking it gingerly. Latius reached out towards the soul's drip and paused, looking at Latias inquiringly. Latias nodded, her eyes sparkling. So Latius reached out and stroked the precious jewel.

Cold pain instantly shot up her arm, and she howled in pain. Her howl sounded like a lonely Mightyena, and it curdled Latias's blood, making her shiver. Latius tried to pull her paw away, but it was stuck to the soul's drip, as if some force was keeping it there. Another shot of pain was sent up her thin arm, and she yelped, but she instantly paused. Her eyes started to glow a purplish white, and she went into a trance. Latius frantically floated over and started to try and budge Latius, but she wouldn't move a millimeter.

XxLatius's ConsciousnessxX

Latius was floating in what seemed like a void of nothingness, but as the darkness cleared, she saw stars and galaxies around her, constellations twinkling and suns glowing with vibrant fire. Stars constantly became white dwarfs or black holes, and she shivered looking into the depths of nothingness that other stars around it were pulled viciously into.

Latius turned around, and she was staring into the eyes of Latios. She gasped, he wasn't gray and blue, and he was a pale blue allover, with a faint glow. And he was translucent and ghostly. He stared at her with those intelligent eyes, it was a warm and friendly gaze. "So…Latius…" He said, his voice echoing around her. It was ghostly but welcoming, it didn't push her away.

"How…how do you know my name?" She asked timidly, shrinking back. Latios chuckled. "There is only one Latius, is there not?" He said, smiling. Latius scowled. "No! I'm a Latias! I was just a genetic defect, a mistake! So they gave me this accursed name!" She shouted angrily, bursting into a fit of tears. She looked up at Latios, tears streaming endlessly down her cheeks, unchecked. Sympathy took up Latios's features, and he wiped away the tears. They floated like up like the twinkling stars around her into oblivion. She watched them in wonderment, but she was pulled into a tight embrace by Latios.

"You're special…" He said, his voice barely a whisper.

Her eyes widened, and she looked up at Latios, his eyes were closed, and she timidly returned the embrace. "Please…" He said, his voice pleading. "Take care of my sister, make sure she doesn't get hurt."

XxBack In The GardenxX

Latius was about to speak, but she found herself back in the garden. Latias was clinging to her chest, weeping, and calling her name continuously. "Latius! Latius! Please! Talk to me! Come baaaack!" She wailed, now starting to pound on her side. Latius put a comforting paw around her neck and looked down, Latias looked back up, relief and anger playing across her face. "Don't ever do that again!" She said, frowning.

Latius patted her on the back, chuckling. "'Course, but let's go for a swim, I've never been in waters as clear as these! The water by my old alley was always muddy and littered with trash, I couldn't keep my head under there for a second without revolting." Latius explained, tucking her arms to her sides and rocketing into the water. Latias stared after her for a moment before racing after her.

As they swam, Latius replayed the embrace with Latios over and over in her head, thinking…was it really real? Or was it longing?
