Order
Zygarde observes what life and death means. Nothing to him or any of the others like him, of course - but what it means to a human.
I had been observing him for some time. Observing was a strange way to put it. Humankind didn't think I had eyes, but that was because of their own limited vision. Their limited vision was what had drawn me to him. I could feel the fear exuding from this boy in powerful waves. He had set out to befriend Death - Yveltal. He hadn't wanted to die when his journey began, and he thought that to join Death meant to conquer it.
We had jobs to do. Yveltal was a cold, ruthless pragmatist - he would have had no qualms about removal. The boy should have focused on life - Xerneas's embrace was all- encompassing and compassionate. And I was to make sure neither of my companions overused their powers. I was intrigued by human approaches to our effects- some hid away, horrified by the fact they would never be able to exist forever. Some openly expressed their will to join us, and some reversed it, accepting death, but continuing to live even while mortally wounded. It takes all of us to bring a person back from the brink or into the abyss - not just one element.
So as the boy, Calem, joins Death, he begins a search for Life. He doesn't understand that one cannot exist without the other, and that the two cannot be the same. He spends the best part of his young life searching out what will, one day, finish it. He grows close to Yveltal. I almost believe Yveltal returns this caring.
Xerneas is found. She genuinely cares before he does, but I know, almost smugly that he will return it. He does. I also know he will not search for me.
He does not.
He lives a full life.
He releases all his Pokémon, including Xerneas and Yveltal. What did he expect? Favours?
Well, he died. And went on to the next life.
If there is one, I wouldn't know, would I?
What a waste.
Some kind of dark material there... Just thought I'd put it out there for people to read. This does not reflect my personal views, and should not be thought of as such. Also, no offence was intended, as death is a pretty difficult subject...
