"Come on, come on!" The sound of a young girl's voice echoed through the forest as she sprinted past the trees. Behind her, a young boy of the same age was chasing after her. He was clearly exhausted, but the girl refused to let him stop. "C'mon Hiro! Catch me!" The girl said, clearly enjoying her brother struggle after her. "This is unfair, Yeo. You're way faster than meeee!" Said Hiro, sweat beads developing on his forehead. They were wearing very peculiar clothes. The boy was wearing a silver breastplate over a black t-shirt made of some sort of durable substance. On his shoulders were plates of black metal that had gold lining. He had baggy white pants on and his forearm had long black sleeves. He had bronze horns sticking from his brown hair. The girl had her hair in a long ponytail. It was the same brown as the boy's. She had the same bronze horns too. She had the same shoulder plates of black metal with gold lining, but had a red cloth stretching from her white tunic to the topic he blades. She wore a short skirt, similar in colour to the boy's pants which was also the same colour as her tunic. She had a pink bandana with white spots tied around her waist. She had gloves with black metal plating on the outside and had some of the same red cloth sticking out the top. The two siblings were twins.

After about five more minutes of running, the girl stopped and looked behind her. Her twin was nowhere to be seen. "Hiro? Hiro where are you?" There was no answer. She looked behind the nearby trees, expecting him to pop out from behind one, but he didn't. "Hiro! This isn't funny!" She said. She was about seven years old and had deep blue eyes like the ocean. They were wide open. Her lips began to tremble when her brother didn't respond.

"Yeo! Yeo come back!" He yelled, but it was no use. She had already gone too far. He began to walk which broke into a jog which turned into a sprint. "Yeo?! Yeo, where are you?!" Just then, Yeo's head jolted as she heard her brothers voice. She wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks and ran in the direction of his voice. "I'm here! Hiro, I'm here!" She yelled. Hiro ran towards his sister's voice. She sounded scared. He should've kept chasing her. "I'm coming Yeo!" Although it was only by four minutes, Hiro was older than Yeo and he felt it was his job to look after her. Their parents were always exploring different lands, so they were the heirs of a kingdom in southwestern Ransei called Aurora. Their grandad was currently Warlord, but he was getting old. Soon it would be time for them to take over.

"Yeo?" Hiro was looking upwards, expecting her to fall from a tree. "Hiro!" She yelled, looking behind her. THUD! The two crashed into eachother and fell to the ground. They both started laughing uncontrollably and hugged. Once the laughing subsided, Hiro looked at her, his eyes serious and gazing into her's. "Yeo, that was dangerous. You could've been attacked by the wild Pokémon, and I would never forgive myself if that-" Just then, a deafening screech came from above them. They looked directly up and saw a figure fly over them, blocking the sun from their eyes momentarily. "SCREEE!" There it was again! Yeo put her back to Hiro's and they slowly rotated, looking around, unsure of what was happening. "SCREE" Was all Yeo heard before Hiro grabbed her and ran.

"RUN YEO!" He booked loudly, she opened her eyes and saw the monstrous bird racing towards them. She immediately released herself from Hiro's grasp and screamed, now running alongside Hiro. Although she was faster, he was stronger and she thought he should protect her if this Pokémon got too close. "What is that thing?" She yelled, panting like a wild dog. "I think it's a Staraptor. They're really rare in the wild, especially here in Aurora." He responded "Why is it chasing us?" Yeo asked again. "We must've gone too far into its habitat. Let's just hope it's a male." Yeo nodded and raced ahead. Hiro allowed himself a glance behind him which he immediately regretted. The Staraptor was inches away from his neck. He yelled loudly and closed his eyes, his calves were burning and his lungs felt as if they were about to explode. Yeo was the same. They thought it was all over until they heard a loud cry. "Eve!" And then the Staraptor toppled to the floor.

Hiro turned around to see two Eevees attacking the Staraptor. One had used Quick Attack to knock it down and the other had Tackled it before it could recover. Another Quick Attack and another Tackle and it seemed the Staraptor had been knocked out. Hiro sighed in relief, the Staraptor couldn't harm them any more. He felt like he was forgetting something though. He spun around just in time to see Yeo catching up to him. They both looked at the Eevees, grateful for what they had done, and then it happened. Yeo and Hiro kneeled down and a yellow light surrounded both of them as well as the Eevees. They had successfully linked. "Oh my Arceus." Hiro said. Yeo stared at her new partner in disbelief. She didn't know she'd link with a Pokemon this early in her life. She thought she'd just have found one when she became Warlord of Aurora. "Let's go home and tell grandad!" Hiro said. They raced in the direction they came, the Eevees running by their side. This time Yeo made sure to stick by Hiro's side.

The Aurora courtyard was eerily quiet. No one was outside doing work, the Warlord wasn't in his hammock. What a strange sight. Yeo and Hiro walked through the huge wooden doors and into the castle. It was a fine building, mostly made of marble on the outside. The roof was a black wood and it had the same style as a Japanese tower, just much shorter. It had three stories. The first was twice the size of the other two, having a kitchen, a relaxation room, a steam room, an indoor pool, two bathrooms and several other rooms that served no purpose as of this day. The second floor held the throne room and the Warlord's office. It also had a bathroom. The third floor had five bedrooms, one of which was shared by Yeo and Hiro, another which was used by their grandfather and the others were used by visitors who had to sleep the night there. There was also a basement, but Yeo and Hiro didn't want to know what was kept down there.

They raced into the Warlord's bedroom to find him sleeping in bed. Yeo went over to him and looked into his face. He was soundless, how odd. She couldn't feel any moisture on his lips and that was when she realised he wasn't breathing. "HIRROOOOOO!" She yelled as loud as she could, tears welling up in her eyes and her throat becoming dry. Her heart was racing, she didn't want him to die. In a few seconds, Hiro was at her side, looking at the old man. He would now sleep for an eternity. Hiro put a consoling arm around Yeo's shoulder and she shoved her face into his chest. The tears had come, and Hiro could feel them. He hugged his sister, tears now welling up in his eyes. It was so sudden. They decided to take it to the police. In the space of twenty minutes, the castle went from having three people in it to thirty three. Guards were checking every floor for any sign of an assassin. Nothing. A doctor had come in to inspect he body. No wounds. Apparently he had suffered a heart attack while asleep. Yeo and Hiro locked themselves into their room and silently sobbed on Hiro's bed, the Eevees nuzzling them. It was a sad day for Hiro and Yeo.

Okay, that went better than I thought. As you can probably tell, this is a Pokémon Conquest fanfiction. We have our two main characters, Yeo and Hiro. More will be introduced as the story goes on. They represent the male and female protagonists from Pokemon Conquest. Hopefully you guys like it. This is an epilogue to the story, the next chapter will have a huge timeskip to where Yeo and Hiro will already be Warlords. The following chapters will also be much longer. Okay, I'll stop now. Hope you like this. Louis out!
