Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 11: Ruler of the Afterlife
Zelda and Diasol take Link, Rucas and Navi to a secret room at the end of a stair. This room looks like a normal bedroom. There is someone sleeping on the bed.
Zelda and Diasol walk up to the bed. The one who is sleeping on the bed is a Pokemon that looks like blue deer. Her horn is glowing with seven colors.
"Wait… Isn't she Xerneas, the Pokemon that possesses the power to control life?!" Rucas says when he sees the body of a sleeping Pokemon.
"Yes. Her name is Princess Xynnia the Xerneas. She is the princess who rule the Lumina." Zelda says.
"Lumina? One of three land in the Afterlife?" Navi says.
"Yes. She is my elder sister." Diasol says.
"But… What make the ruler of Lumina and Soulyn to come here?" Navi asks.
"… Lumina is under siege by the evil creature." Diasol says.
"What?!" Rucas and Navi say.
"While we were having a tea party in the Lumina Hall, the army of evil creature appeared and tried to conquer the Lumina Hall. They destroyed everywhere in Lumina and captured the Luminian. Xynnia became unconscious after she saw the army destroyed Lumina. I had no choice but took her out of there and got back to Soulyn. But while we were going back to Soulyn, the evil army chased us, so I had to go to human world instead of going back to Soulyn." Diasol says.
"A little while after the rain poured down, Diasol appeared, carried her sister's unconscious on her back. She asked me who am I, after she known that I am the princess of this castle, she asked me for a sanctuary for her sister, so we hid her sister here." Zelda says.
"While we were talking about what happen back in Lumina and what to do next, you appeared." Diasol says.
"… Is she… alright?" Navi asks and looks at Xynnia.
"Don't worry. She is just falling unconscious. She will awake soon." Diasol says.
"… Who are those evil creatures?" Rucas asks.
"They are the Darkian!" Diasol says.
"Darkian? You mean the resident in the Darkon?" Navi says.
"Yes! It must be them! Because recently, Darkon and Lumina had broken their friendship, making them becomes the enemy toward each other." Diasol says.
"Why? I thought that Lumina and Darkon are the two sides of the same coin…" Rucas says.
"… Countless years ago, Xynnia was getting married with Prince Yterval the Yveltal, the ruler of Darkon. But in the wedding, Xynnia couldn't control her power and started to disrupt the life cycle of soul. Yterval tried to help, but it ended up that Yterval was almost to kill Xynnia. This event made Luminian became very angry toward Darkian, so they refuse to communicate with Darkon, as well as the wedding that is over." Diasol says.
"Because of this, Darkian becomes angry and wants to get revenge on Luminian, right?" Navi says.
"I think so." Diasol says.
"Then, what will you do next?" Rucas asks.
"I think that we must hide here until Xynnia regains her consciousness or when we know what to do next." Diasol says.
"By the way, Link, do you found any clue about the legend?" Zelda asks.
Link nods and picks the Stone Tablet that he found in the Royal Family's Tomb and gives it to Zelda.
Zelda takes the Stone Tablet and starts reading it. After a while, she says.
"Oh, the brave hero of time, you will go to the Palace of Legend to meet the god and a group of Sacred Children at the …" Zelda reads.
"What?" Navi says.
"It says that we must go to the Palace of Legend to meet the god and a group of Sacred Children at the current time." Rucas says.
"What are the Palace of Legend and a group of Sacred Children?" Navi asks.
"Palace of Legend is the place where the god of Pokemon is staying, and a group of Sacred Children is a group of five children who will open the gate to the new world." Rucas explains.
'Sacred Children…' Link thinks. He is sure that he heard this word from someone before…
"But when?" Navi asks.
"This part of the Stone Tablet is very hard to read, so it will take me a little time to read it." Zelda says.
While they are talking, they notice that the rain starts to pour down again.
"Rain? Again?" Navi says.
"Strange…" Zelda says, but then.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
"What?!" Everyone says after they hear the roar of something.
"That roar?!" Diasol says and quickly flies back to the Secret Garden.
"Hey! Wait!" Rucas says, and then Link, Navi and his follow Diasol.
When they arrive at the Secret Garden, Diasol is there, standing in the rain. In front of a Diasol is another Pokemon collapses on the ground. That Pokemon looks like a bird with two horns on his head, black wings and white collar around his neck.
"Who is this Pokemon?!" Navi asks.
"… It is him…" Diasol says.
"Who?" Navi asks.
"… The ruler of Darkon, Prince Yterval the Yveltal." Diasol says.
"What?! The ruler of Darkon?!" Rucas says.
"He must come here in order to capture Xynnia for sure!" Navi says.
"But… while he is collapsing on the ground? And there are no army of evil creature follow him too…" Diasol says and walks up to Yterval.
"… …. Di…. Dia…. Diaso…. Sol…" Yterval says.
"Yterval?" Diasol says.
"Xyn….Xynnia…. take…her…away…. You….two….escape….before…too….late…" Yterval says.
"Escape?! What does that mean?!" Diasol says.
"Go… Don't…. Come….Back… Or…You ….Will…Die…" Yterval says before he falls unconscious.
"Yterval?! What does that mean?! Escape?! Hey! Answer me?! YTERVAL!" Diasol roars.
