if I've forgotten guest mentions, I'm sorry, but it's been so long I'm forgetting my own storyline. Just... forgive any mistakes. I've been in and out of hospital for how long now and it's tiring.
Post is short, but, it's something.
A broken hand reached above the smoldering rubble.
"I-I live...! Cygnes C-Colatia lives...!"
The young woman forced herself to move in the space she was encased in, surrounded by death and pieces of concrete, managing to get her second hand freed. She pushed, pushed hard, scratched and bloodied arms quivering from exhertion, but finally, she pushed the main piece over her head off to the side, panting, managing to grab onto the edges of two other pieces and pulling herself out of her stone prison. There wasn't much else around- nothing was left of this building, flames clinging to the pieces that were left, sending a shiver down her aching spine... was she really the only one that had lived? She knew that Jane and Palkia had gotten out in time, but what about everybody else were they okay-
...no, her mind tells her moments later as she finally gets a grasp on her surroundings.
"I... I am all a-alone."
And she got up, stumbling to her feet, rushing towards the treeline, her hands ripping the chain around her neck off, clinging to it for all she is worth as she runs, runs, and never looks back...
She was as good as dead to everybody. She would be no use in the war...
She had to run. Run away and start all over again...
No more blood. No more wars, no more battles, no more everything...
She leaves the smoke and flames and the dead bodies of those she had loved and cherished not even months before far behind her.
"Ugh."
Long, inky hair is pulled back, white skin violated with scratches and splatters of blood, blue eyes distastefully watching the disappearing wisps of darkness vanishing beyond the doorways. "That's right, you little whore, you *stay* out! What kind of fucked up fantasties have you been having?" The ice rapier within her grasp started to fade into nothing more than cold water, melting within her fingers, becoming nothing within moments as she turns away from the scene, cold hands reaching out and gently touching the dark Legendary's skin. "...are you okay, Rai? At least you're still with us- he did fuck you up pretty badly. Well, his hands didn't get down your pants, at least."
"Oh, shut up," The man managed to grit, a hand touching the wounded side he bears, the other running over the swell of his stomach, where his daughter's body quietly rested... there was something in that girl's eyes that strangely gave him chills, nearly literally. And not just because of her temperature...
They were cold. Unfeeling. Devoid of all emotions.
If she really had wanted to, she could have just let Nyx kill him. After fucking him up, and quite literally at that.
And it was then that he could finally bring himself to speak, pushing her hands away from him, wrapping his arms around his waist, as if meaning to say 'I can handle myself', spitting out, "Just who are you?"
She offered him a chilling smile.
"What, you don't see any resemblence? I'm Princess Dezember.
...or, at least, what Anna tried to replicate. The body, at least... this really is a wondrous body. Just how far science has come..." The young lady took her skirts up into her hands, offering him a little spin, as if savoring the swish around her bare legs, the feeling of the cold air, blue eyes closing... a look of near rapture on her face. Being able to feel again...
But just like that, the moment ends. The feeling, the look fades away...
Her voice resumes its normal low tone.
"Your little daughter attracted my soul to this place. And I came, following her call, and Anna stuck me in this *body*. Quite the little Mary Sue Vespera is, isn't she? A death magnet, a bringer of catastrophe, a mix of beings that never should even be *together*-
Ironic, isn't it? She sure seems to be quite the *angel of death*, doesn't she?"
A chuckle builds itself in her throat, low and dark.
"I'm sure you've heard from Anna or Arceus, but, if you haven't, I'll tell you. I was the past Judge, the forbidden child of Russian royals. Did they show you photos of me, when you went there?"
(-How could she have known of that?-)
"Let me tell you this. They were all *fake*. Little false plants, and all the information you got from Alexandra was most likely bullshit. Those pictures? *Fake*. That info that my nickname was Vespera? *Bullshit*.
And you know why? Because when I was young, I had a dream. A dream of destruction, of death, of utter ruin, *and that little thing in your gut is going to be the cause of it*!"
By now she's pointed an accusing finger at the 'thing' in speaking, the man's stomach, quickly covered by a sleeve and followed by a growling of "That can't be true! She-", and here, she cuts him off, swirling back to look at him, cyan and blue meeting...
She's serious. She's dead serious, to the point it shuts him up. "You think I'm a liar? I *knew* the next Judge would be her, and so I planted all of that for my mother to find, to make her believe that was my real name, what I really looked like- how would she know, I lived with my grandmother! And how easily fooled she was!
I knew that one day, someone would find those pictures, that information, figure out what I was saying and go after her and *kill* her! But now- but now-
Now it's all too late! And now I can't decide if I should kill her now or help her bring the Purge or let her live-!
That... That girl... she doesn't seem to want her powers. How strange is that? She doesn't want that position your *God* just shoved on her, she- she was going to be Arceus's pawn, her little tool to wipe out humanity! But then he, she, whatever the *fuck* she takes, got cold feet after realizing that she was warping beyond her control, her spirit couldn't be contained, after your God fell victim to the poison called *love* for Giratina! Love, the very thing she wanted to keep *out* of the Legendaries!"
All that's in the air are her deadly truths.
"Arceus was supposed to *kill* Vespera, surely you realize that! You're having a bastard child, you're breaking *laws*, she was supposed to kill her, or at least use it as blackmail! The only reason she's alive now is because she changed her mind and decided to use your *child* as the Judge, to get her revenge on humans for destroying, corrupting her planet! For torturing her children! She gave her the power to use the All-Light Crystal, so that way when she was born, she could rise and *kill everybody*!
But then she changed her mind yet again. She let her little mistake roam free, and now she's regretting it.
It's either that she'll kill us all or save us all. I'm going to meet her and teach her everything I know and we'll just roll from there."
Silence.
"...how do you know all of this?"
A smile.
"Anna was a rather smart lady."
