Two Pokémon, an Espeon and an Umbreon, met together in a space where the light met the darkness.
"It is time for you take over, Sister." the Umbreon said to the Espeon, as he passed onto her a black and white baton that split the colours from the middle.
"Very well, Brother." the Espeon nodded, aware of her duty. "It must be done so, without fail."
As soon as the Espeon received the baton with her mouth, everything faded into white.
Looking at the edge of the eastern horizon, a tiny ball of yellow light began to glow. As it mixed in with the darkness of the night sky, the sky lightened and emitted brilliant hues of orange and purple. The stars, having fulfilled their purpose, began to quietly slip away into the light.
As the sun began to hover just above the horizon line, it began to shine upon the residence that housed our characters Xis the Quilladin, Kate the Braixen and Cordon the Frogadier, whom were all fast asleep in their beds.
Xis was sound asleep in his bed of hay, with his blanket sprawled messily on himself. He was breathing calmly through his mouth, and his eyes were peacefully closed. As the sun was high enough to shine above the wall under the windows, the sunlight shone directly on his body, causing him to stir in his sleep. However, that wasn't enough to wake him up immediately; it will take some time for his body to react accordingly.
In the bedroom located south of Xis, Kate was asleep in her bed that had a thin fabric covering over the hay. She was just as tranquil as Xis, but her blanket was much neater and less creased. And when you looked closely, you could see the rise and fall of her blanket every time she took a breath. Kate's window was facing southwards, so when the sun shone its sunlight, the rays began to strike the west wall, and it slowly inched its way towards her face. It would only be a matter of time until she could taste the warmth that would land upon her tongue.
In the bedroom located west of Kate, Cordon was dozing in his hammock. I may be mistaken, but it looked like he had only just tried to fall asleep. He frequently tossed and turned, and his hands were rather fidgety. He was also mumbling a bit too. As Cordon's window faced westwards, the extent of the sun's power weren't to be fully realized on this Frogadier at this time. But light is a clever thing; using the power of diffraction, it would give Cordon his own little dose of sunshine (even if he really needed it or not.)
As the Morning Sun hovered ever higher, it painted the sky with a light yellow coat, with a full blue overcoat waiting to be applied. With the next hour quickly approaching, the time until our characters' awakening grew ever shorter.
AN: Excluding the Author's Note, there is a strict 1000 word limit per chapter. The purpose of the chapter was to quickly establish the setting and its characters; any more in my opinion might deviate from its purpose.
Even though this chapter was very short, it took me a long time to write it as I had a difficult time trying to describe a sunrise in a way that would leave a decent impact.
