The Heart of a Dragon

by Vingle

All beings, alive or not, have feelings. They each have their own heart, which beats with the strength of Arceus herself. You can hide it, you can deny it, and you can lie about it, but that won't change this fact. Every single individual has feelings. Everyone, and anyone. Even if they are gods.

I do not own Pokémon, or any of its characters. This was just a story I wanted to right. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Chapter 1: The Beginning of Existence

My life began in the darkness.

At first, I was quite content. But after a while, I started to feel cramped, claustrophobic. It was like this place was getting smaller each day.

I started to feel around. I felt a wall in every direction.

I yearned to be set free, to see what lay outside.

After pounding against a wall for what seemed like hours, I sank down, exhausted. When I regained my breath, I tried again, to no avail.

Months passed. Maybe even years. There was no way for me to keep track of the time.

I felt that my sanity was slowly slipping away with each passing second. Soon, I would go mad.

Suddenly, there was a voice. It was powerful and commanding, ordering me to free myself from this shell, to see what lay outside. I gathered up my strength and rammed against the wall as hard as I possibly could. I heard something crack, renewing my hope. I felt a strange power build up inside of me. I opened my maw and released a bright blue ball of energy that exploded when it came in contact with the wall.

Excited, I jumped at the wall, only to crash into it. Filled with despair, I collapsed into a heap. I punched the wall in disgust at my own incompetence.

Suddenly, the wall cracked, light pouring through the tiny hole. The light hurt my eyes, yet I still looked.

Then it fell apart, every piece making a ringing sound when it hit the floor.

I felt myself tumble into a new place. I opened my eyes slightly.

I found myself in a bright place, neither cold or warm. There was a pool of liquid beside me that aroused my curiosity, but it was nothing compared to what I saw next.

A majestic being of great power loomed in front of me. It was white with gray lining its underside and face, with a long mane and had eyes similar to mine, when I saw my reflection in the water.

It leaned forward, and touched my head with its head.

"Rise, child. Rise, for you are needed. I have been expecting you." The voice said. I now thought it sounded slightly feminine, but I could not be sure, as my hearing was not very precise. It was gentle, yet commanding.

I looked up at her.

"You have been asleep for a long time. Do you feel ill?"

I shook my head.

"Excellent. You may rest for today. Tomorrow, I will bring you to your home. There, you will learn how to fulfill your duty."

I nodded.

"Now, I need to give you a name. I believe you shall approve of this" She bent her head down so close that her head was inches away from mine.

"Your name shall be…Giratina." she whispered softly. Her voice sounded like a lullaby. The name seemed to make me feel more confident, more complete.

"Now sleep, child." whispered her voice. "Your destiny awaits."

Then, sleep finally claimed me.

Your destiny awaits.
