A double update as a New Years treat.
Hold My Hand
He stood before me, and all I could think about was the choice he gave me. To see the world, or stay back here. I was working in a shop. But what was wrong with that? What was wrong with my very simple life?
To accept his deal, I would have to leave all of that, everything, behind. I didn't know if I could do that.
But his words of the glistening caverns of Mt. Moon, the calm waters of Lake Verity, entranced me. He painted me a picture of snow capped mountains, and the cries of strange Pokémon in the distance. I listened, my mind filled with the images he showed me. Traveling, into the wide world beyond my hometown.
All this, but nothing in return.
It would be dangerous, but I could fight.
We might get killed, even.
But there was something that I knew that made me sure I wouldn't.
He reached out with a paw, his red eyes showing me the world in themselves. My flaming tail danced, my heart pounded.
"Come with me."
The psychic words gave me a deal that I couldn't refuse.
I took his hand, and it was sealed.
"Hold on tight." He smiled at me as I held his hand.
Kind of Doctor Who inspired.
