I welcome to a new story, this one is an OC story to replace the one I deleted. Hopefully this one will get more attention than that one did.

The OC submission form will be on my profile, but it will be at the end of this chapter too. I think you should get a taste of what's yet to come.

But enough about that, on with the chapter.

I hope you enjoy The Aura of Darkness and Light

My fingers trailed against the puddle on the ground, when I lifted my hand up to look at it, even though dirt was mixed into it, the crimson colored gave away was the puddle was, "Blood." I said to myself. I looked at the area around me. There were footprints everywhere, pokemon and human alike, "There was a battle." That much was obvious, the slash marks, the craters, the blood, the evidence of serious movements. "Wouldn't you agree?" I said to my partner. There wasn't an answer, "Eclipse?" I looked around for the dark type that was my only friend.

"Absol!" I heard my friend bark was he came rushing through the bushes nearby. The Disaster Pokemon stopped as he neared me, there was a knife in his mouth.

"What's this?" I asked as he put the knife in my hand, I recognized the insignia, the golden face of the Renegade Pokemon gave it away "The Aurean Empire," I sniffed the air, a pungent scent hit my nostrils, it was the scent of a successful attack, which means no survivors. I put the knife into my leather pack and ran off towards the scent.

The ruins of burning village were in front of me when I came out of the forest, some of the building had burned to the ground, others were still on fire. I walked through the ruins on the closest house to what I could find. Most valuables were gone, most likely taken by the Empire. Finding nothing I headed toward the next house, again nothing. What did this village have to cause them to take everything then burn it all to the ground?

"Absol, ab ab soul!" Eclipse ran up to me and pulled on by traveling cloak with his teeth.

"What is it boy? Found something?" the dark-type nodded, "Something good?" he nodded vigorously, "Take me to it then."

The stone structure of what was once the Town Hall was now missing all of one wall and had a large hole in another. I climbed through the hold to find Eclipse digging at the ground. It was a trap door, "Good boy, now let's get this open to see what's inside shall we?" I did my best to clear any rubble covering the trap door as Eclipse kept digging, it would've gone a lot slower if Eclipse didn't know Dig.

After minutes of labor the trap door was completely uncovered, but it was locked with a heavy padlock and chains, "Eclipse, you think you can handle this?" I looked at my friend, he looked exhausted from all the digging and running, "You take a rest, I'll handle this one." Eclipse nodded and backed away slowly.

I inhaled through my nose and slowly exhaled out my mouth. I closed my eyes and began to concentrate, I raised my hand and a long blade of silver-white energy formed around it turning my hand into a sharp blade. My eyes shot open and with a shout I released the energy and a sharp wave came from my hand and cut through the chain and the lock.

The use of energy made my stance stagger and the blade around my hand faded. I took a minute to catch my breath before kneeling down to grab the handle and open the trap door. There was a ladder leading down into a tunnel, "You wanna see what's down there?" I asked as I looked toward the Absol, he was sleeping. I smiled at the scene, "Don't worry, your instincts have never gotten us in a tight spot before, why would they now?" I went into the hole and climbed down the ladder.

By the looks of the webs and dust, the tunnel gave me a feeling no one had been down here for a long time. When I landed on the floor of the tunnel which revealed to be a long hallway, the cloud of dust my feet made caused me to sneeze a few times. Shaking it off I walked down the hallway until I can to a strangely ornate door, I tried the handle. It turned and the door opened, why would it be unlocked?

The room wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. Unlike the hallway I was just it, this room was completely devoid of dust and webs. At the far side of the room was an alter with a Shrine of Arceus on it. The main body of Arceus was made completely out of white opal with and the grey parts of him were made of grey moonstone, the crest/wheel attached to Arceus's body was made of pure gold along with the other features of its body. The emerald eyes stared down at me as if Arceus was in the room and watching my every move.

I walked around the room trying to find anything that would interest me, I couldn't take the statue it's taller than me, but the chest in front of the shrine caught my eye. It was made mostly out of silver with several designs made of gold swirling around the exterior of the chest. I walked toward the chest and examined the lock on the lid. The keyhole was shaped differently that the others that I've seen, and I've seen a lot. It was shaped like the crest(or is it the wheel) of Arceus. It was almost shaped like- wait o minute.

I reached into my shirt was pulled out my good luck charm, and my most prized possession. It was a solid gold key with a white handle with a ring at the end for a chain to run through. What was interesting about the ring was the part you put into the lock, now that I look at it, it did look like the hole for the lock. I could her my mother's voice echoing in my head.

"This key is a gift from your father, don't lose it. It will help you find your destiny."

Is this chest what this key is meant to open? Can't hurt to try. I kneeled down and slid the key into the keyhole, it was a perfect fit. I turned the key clockwise until there was an audible click and the chest opened. I looked inside and found only one thing, it was mostly wrapped in a white cloth, but the hilt sticking out told me it was a weapon, a sword possibly. I reached my hand in and closed my hand around the hilt, but the second my fingers touched the hilt there was a blinding flash and I blacked out.

When I woke up I wasn't in the room anymore, I was in a grand white and gold room. I looked around as I stood up, "Where am I?" I thought out loud, "Wait, how did I get here?"

"You're dreaming, but you're also not." I jumped and turned towards the voice. It came from a man sitting on a golden throne. He stood up and walked towards me. He had the appearance and feel of a king, but not the one currently ruling my home.

He was taller than me and was built like an elf would, tall, strong and graceful. He had fair skin and an ageless face. He had long white hair that went to his back and deep green eyes that stared deep into my soul, but he was smiling at me, as if he was happy to see me. He was wearing an outfit similar to a king, a white robe over a grey tunic with green trim with grey pants and formal shoes.

"What do you mean?" I asked not meaning what he meant, "Why am I here? Who are you?"

Rather than answering my questions he chuckled, "So many questions, just like your mother."

I was taken aback, "You knew my mother?"

"Yes I did," he turned around and walked back to his throne, the crest of Arceus was on the back of his robe. He sat down in the fancy gold chair, "I've know every human that has ever lived, but your mother caught my interest."

"Who are you?" I asked again, but I had a feeling that I already knew.

"Can you only ask questions Wolf? Or should I call you Celebrant?" how does he know my real name, only my mother and father did.

"You're Arceus aren't you?" he smiled and nodded, I kneeled down, "It is an honor to be in your presence."

He made a gesture that asked me to stand up, "Normally I would want people to bow in my presence… but you're the exception."

I looked at Arceus in confusion, "And what makes me so special?"

Arceus didn't answer for a few seconds, "I told you that your mother caught my interest," he sighed, "You're proof that she captured my interest." My jaw dropped. Is he serious, di he just say what I thought he said?

"Y-you're my…" I couldn't finish my sentence.

"Father?" I nodded, "Yes, yes I am." 17 years and all along my father was Arceus?

"How-? Why-?"

"Like I said, your mother caught my interest. I decided to examine her more by entering the mortal world, before I knew it. I had fallen in love with your mother. I knew it couldn't work, but when your mother told me she was pregnant, I knew I couldn't stay."

"So what happened?" I asked, "What did you do?"

"I told your mother who I was, like you, she had several questions." He replied, "So we agreed that you could never know who I was until you were old enough to understand,"

"Why?" Maybe I do ask too many questions.

"I'm not the one to answer that, all I have left to tell is this. Only use what you found unless there's no other option." His voice was serious, "There are people that would go to great lengths to take you down and capture or kill you."

"Okay, so for now I trust nobody, been doing that most my life. Shouldn't be too hard." Finally I don't ask a question.

He chuckled, "Don't worry there are some you can trust," before I could ask he continued, "Look for people that don't seem normal. If you find anyone, follow them or they'll follow you, but when you're alone say these words, 'If the wolf howls during an eclipse.' If they answer, 'Then there is silver in his blood.' You can trust them." I nodded, "You have a long journey ahead of you, I can't tell you what, but you will meet someone very soon that will." The area around me started to fade, "Good luck my son." Was the last thing I heard before I blacked out again.

When I woke up again I was laying on the ground with Eclipse watching over me. I noticed that I wasn't in the room with the shrine, how did I get outside?

"Eclipse?" I asked as I tried to stand up.

"Don't move," a new voice said, "You still have to regain your strength, you've been asleep for quite a while." I looked toward the voice to see a man poking a fire with a stick. He was leaning against a sleeping Arcanine. He was wearing a black leather outfit with a traveling cloak wrapped around his shoulders, the hood was down so I could see his face in the firelight. He has messy tangled black hair with specks of grey, his face was stern with a rough black beard.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"A friend." He said without turning his head to look at me. His voice was old and sounded rough.

I was still suspicious, but then I remembered what my father told me, "If the wolf howls during an eclipse."

This time he looked at me, he had orange eyes, "Then there is silver in his blood." He replied. I pulled down my hood to reveal my messy white hair, he looked me over, "You look just like him," I gave him a questioning look, "17 years ago Arceus came to me in a dream, told me that I would meet his son one day, and I was to help him get to a safe place once he found out who he was." The fire started to die, the stranger threw a couple sticks on the embers. When the fire didn't start back up, he pointed one of his fingers at the sticks. His finger glowed the color of blood and the sticks burst into flames.

"You're an aura user?" I asked.

He nodded, "My name is Dagmar and this is Ithilagar," he patted the Arcanine's side, "And yours is?"

"Wolf, at least that's I want people to call me." I replied, I stroked Eclipse's fur, "This is Eclipse."

He nodded, "Get some sleep, we have a lot of traveling to do tomorrow."

"Where are we going?" I ask as I lay down noticing how tired I really was.

"To visit some friends," he said, "I'll tell you more in the morning, just get some sleep." I slowly nodded and I slipped into a deep slumber.
