Requiem of the Fallen Dragon

Part 2: Fenrir's Tale

Chapter 54: Sorceress of Existence

"Arrr…"

Rucas woke up and rubbed his head. He remembered that he was at the Desert Prison when a Mewtwo named Iris appeared and put a spell on them to make them fell asleep. So this must be…

"Hm?"

Rucas realized that his hand and body are free. They didn't tie up him. Rucas looked around himself and found that he is lying near a bonfire. The night is still dark. All of his other friends (Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Keldeo, Sharon, Joshua, Julia, Ellisk, Lumiere, Magnus, Riftblade, Leonel, Blazus, Nyxier, Snow, Kamui, Zira, Tyrus, Skelethal, two unknown Zoroark, Fenrir and Garland) are also here.

"What?" Rucas looked around. He is in a green and abundant place with a lake beside. But as he looked further into the darkness, he realized that this place is in the middle of the vast desert.

"What is this place?" Rucas mumbled.

"…You awake?"

A familiar voice came from behind him. He looked back and saw a Mewtwo in the sage uniform. She is the same Mewtwo that puts him into a slumber, as well as the Mewtwo that appeared in his dream.

"You…" Rucas mumbled.

"…I was sorry that I had to make everyone fell asleep, or else they will not let us out easily…" Mewtwo spoke with a calm voice.

"W…Who are you?" Rucas asked.

"… My name is Iris Mysteric the Mewtwo. I am the Archsage of the Order General, but I'd want you to call my nickname "Sorceress of Existence" instead." Mewtwo answered.

"Sorceress of Existence… The Archsage… of the Order General?" Rucas mumbled.

"…I knew what you are thinking… Two of three Order Generals made your friends and you to become the traitors, so…" Iris spoke, but Rucas interrupted her.

"No. Iris the Mewtwo, you aren't a bad guy, right?" Rucas spoke.

"? What made you to think like that?" Iris gazed at Rucas.

"Because of 3 reasons. First, your eyes tell me that you aren't a bad guy, second, you are once the Hero of Legend who saved this land, right? And the last one is that I… Never mind." Rucas spoke before he decided not to tell Iris about his dream about her.

"Hm… Your heart and soul reminded me of that Lucario… The one who led the group of 13 Hero of Legend…" Iris spoke.

"So you are truly the living legend, the Hero of Legend who held the power of life." Rucas spoke.

"Yes. This is the prove…" Iris said and showed Rucas the back of her right paw. There is a Mark of Legend there!

"I see…" Rucas shook his head yes.

"Rucas, the Hero of Justice, are you still alright?" Iris asked.

"Yes… I think." Rucas spoke.

"Then, I have something that I want to tell you and your friends…" Iris spoke. Then Rucas realized that some of his friends started to gain their consciousness.

"It seemed like the time has come. Let me begin." Iris spoke.


The group had divided into two groups. The first group is The Sword of Justice who is taking care of Julia, Lumiere, Riftblade, Blazus, Snow, Skelethal and Fenrir's sibling, Hel and Jormungand.

The second group is sitting around the bonfire. They consisted of Rucas, Zira, Joshua, Ellisk, Magnus, Leonel, Fenrir, Nyxier, Kamui, Tyrus, Sharon, Garland and Iris.

"Hm… It seemed like all of us are here…" Iris spoke.

"What do you want?" Ellisk asked.

"Calm down, Ellisk. She is on our side." Rucas spoke.

"How could you be sure about it?" Leonel asked.

Iris said nothing and showed everyone her Mark of Legend.

"That! It couldn't be wrong. You are truly the Hero of Legend!" Nyxier spoke.

"Yes. I came here to join you. I am sorry that I didn't know before that the new generation of the Hero of Legend are trying to deal with this chaos." Iris spoke.

"Don't worry! This is not too late!" Zira spoke.

"The next thing… Here you are."

Iris gave everyone back their belongings that were taking away by the guards before the trial. Rucas could see everyone's weapon and instrument, but there is a weapon that he hadn't seen before, a long and slender whip made from a purple sturdy material. It also seemed like it is seeping a dangerous poison.

"What is this whip?" Rucas spoke.

"Um… That's my Beryl Whip." Sharon spoke.

"Hm… Your weapon is very nice…" Fenrir spoke. Her word made Rucas felt bad about something…

"Everyone got everything, right?" Iris asked, and everyone nodded.

"Yes. The weapon for the Hero of Legend…" Nyxier said.

"For now, we have at least 8 Hero of Legend of our team! If only Rucas, Zira and Fenrir's Mark of Legend could appeared…" Joshua spoke.

"What?!" Rucas and Fenrir spoke and looked at the back of their right hand. The Mark of Legend is there!

"Our Mark of Legend?!" Rucas and Fenrir spoke.

"How could it be?!" Zira asked.

"…It seemed like it appeared after Rucas was able to control his power…" Iris spoke.

"…And me?" Fenrir asked.

"I am sorry… I have no idea about you. But all I know is that it seemed like the time has come for both of you to show your true potential." Iris spoke.

"That meant that 10 Hero of Legend are here! So if only my Mark of Legend appear…" Zira spoke.

"So, we need four more Hero of Legend…" Joshua said.

"…Actually, I knew who three of them are." Iris's word surprised everyone.

"What?! Please tell us!" Zira spoke.

"First, allow me to explain something for you. It may be a bit boring, so please be patience." Iris spoke and looked at everyone.


"…Looking at you all reminded me of the time when all 13 Hero of Legend are still alive. I could recognize most of you by just looking." Iris spoke.

"Like what?" Joshua crossed his arms.

Iris looked at Joshua. "Hm… First, please forgive me if I say something that offended you… Your name is Joshua Floratree, right? You are the son of Jedi the Sceptile. You and your father are quite different. Your father is a crafty and pervert Sceptile while you are a calm and compost Sceptile…"

"What about me?" Ellisk asked.

"Hm… Ellisk Sparkvolt and Dyabolt the Heliolisk… Both your father and you had endured a grudge from getting bullied by everyone, right? The different between your father and you is that your father is a quite intelligent yet cheerful Heliolisk while you are a bit more serious and mature than him." Iris answered after looking at Ellisk.

"And me?" Magnus asked.

"Magnus Aquamarine, son of Scarley the Feraligatr, right? You are nearly identical to your father… Being a mood maker of the group and be a powerful Feraligatr… Except the fact that your father is a son of merchant while you are a pirate…" Iris answered.

"Dame Iris, I'd like to know more about my father too…" Leonel spoke.

"What?! You… Leonel Novaflare… You are almost completely different than Ordin the Charizard. He is very short-tempered and detest the old-cultured thing like worship the god… However, you and your father shared one thing in common, both of you are a good blacksmith." Iris answered.

"Then, how about my beloved mother Glacier?" Nyxier asked.

"Nyxier Tundrafrost and Glacier the Aurorus… Both your mother and you are beautiful and well-mannered… The different thing is that your mother is a bit…down to earth than you." Iris answered.

"What?!" Nyxier spoke, but Kamui interrupted her.

"I knew that my family isn't the part of 13 Hero of Legend…"

"Hm… Kamui Rusteel… I assume that you are the son of the dojo master at the Solar Village, right?" Iris asked, and Kamui nodded in respond. "Then… You are pretty gentle for an Aggron… But you still have the heart of steel."

While listening to Iris's talking, Tyrus turned his face away. Iris noticed this and called him.

"Tyrus Orestone… I also knew your father… He is General Kohaku Orestone the Tyrantrum, right?"

"… You must be wrong… I don't know anyone by that name…" Tyrus answered without looking at Iris.

"I see… Then you and General Kohaku are both stubborn and pretty rigid, but you and he had chosen the different way of life… That may led both of you to…" Iris spoke, but Tyrus interrupted her by letting out a roar.

"DO NOT TALK TO THAT MONSTER IN FRONT OF ME!"

"…Right. I am sorry for making you upset…" Iris crossed her arms. Tyrus seemed to calm down. "…Never mind. I am sorry too for scolding you like that…"

"Hey! What about me?" Zira asked.

Iris looked at Zira and Rucas for a long time before continued speaking. "… I wonder how are your father and mother now… I missed both of them…"

"What?! You knew our parents?!" Zira and Rucas asked.

"Yes. Rucas Couraura, you are truly the son of the Lucario that was the leader of 13 Hero of Legend. Both of you held the justice over everything. And Zira Hylia, you must be the daughter of the Eevee of 13 Hero of Legend. Both you and your mother possessed the pure heart and soul…" Iris spoke.

"Yeah! Oh… I am so happy… We finally learned the identity of our parents… Oh… Senpai, I am so happy…" Zira spoke.

"Hm?" Iris looked at Zira.

"What's wrong, Iris?" Zira asked.

"…Never mind…" Iris spoke and moved her sight to the Zoroark that is sitting beside Rucas.

"You…"

"…" Fenrir said nothing.

"Are you the family of Ravenoir the Zoroark?" Iris asked.

"…I am sorry. I do not know any of my family by that name… Actually there is one that is pretty close…" Fenrir answered but she lowered the voice at the last part of her speech.

"I see… And your surname is Illunight, right?" Iris asked, and Fenrir nodded in respond. "Then… If I compared you to that Ravenoir the Zoroark, both of you are very creepy, crafty and like to have a secret, but also possessed the heart and soul of good…"

"…Thank you." Fenrir answered.

"Now I have analyzed all of you, let's move on to the main topic. If I compared us to the power of 15 Hero of Legend. Then… Rucas is Light. Zira is Dawn. Joshua is Forest. Ellisk is Thunder. Magnus is Water. Leonel is Fire. Fenrir is Darkness. Nyxier is Snow. Kamui is Techno. Tyrus is Ancient. And I am the Life. The rest are Dusk, Earth, Sky and Dragon…"

"And you said that you knew three of four…" Ellisk spoke.

"Yes. The first one is Dusk. I knew that she is the Dusk just because I saw her Mark of Legend…" Iris spoke.

"Then, who is she?" Rucas asked.

"…Sharon Venomist the Dragalge." Iris's answer made everyone surprise, include Sharon who didn't speak even a bit. All she did is just staring at the bonfire.

"M…Me?!" Sharon spoke.

"Yes. At your limb. That." Iris grabbed one of Sharon's limbs. There is a Mark of Legend there!

"Sharon?! You are the Heroine of Legend too?! Why didn't you tell me before?!" Rucas asked.

"I… This mark… One day… It appeared from nowhere… I thought that… it was the Mark of Sin… So I kept it hiding because… I am afraid to let anyone know…" Sharon answered.

"Sharon Venomist the Dragalge… I am sorry to say that I don't know who or where are your parents, but I know that they are both good Pokemon. Also, I could tell that the power you possessed is the Dusk." Iris spoke.

"M..Me? Dusk?" Sharon spoke.

"Yeah! I am the Dawn and Sharon is the Dusk! We are the pair!" Zira spoke.

"Then… That equal to 12 Hero of Legend… What are the others?" Leonel asked.

"The rest is easy to guess since among 13 Hero of Legend from the past, there are the one who possessed the power of Earth, Sky and Dragon." Iris said.

"And…" Kamui said.

"The formal Hero of Earth, Tersoul, is a Garchomp, so his descendant must be a Garchomp too…" Iris said.

"A Garchomp… The descendant of the Hero of Earth…" Everyone spoke out before they realized that other than 12 Hero of Legend, there is one more Pokemon among them, and he is…

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZ…" Garland is snoring out loud. He fell asleep not too long after Iris started the meeting.

"WHAT?!" Everyone spoke out without thinking. Their voice woke Garland up.

"HEY! Didn't your parents teach you not to interrupt the sleeping dragon?!" Garland seemed to be upset.

"HE IS THE HERO OF LEGEND?!" Rucas asked.

"Did you see any other Garchomp around here? And I wouldn't call him to join us without any reason…" Iris answered.

"The Mad Demon?!" Magnus spoke.

"Shee… He is no more the Mad Demon. Now he is just an ordinary Pokemon like us, and he is now the Black Sniper." Iris spoke.

"Me? Nah…. That's nonsense…" Garland spoke.

"Why nonsense?" Iris asked.

"You don't have any prove that I am the son of the Hero of Earth, and I have never seen my parents' face in my entire life, so don't blame me without any prove or else I will shoot you with my rifle." Garland crossed his arms. But his action made Iris giggled.

"Giggle… Are you sure that you don't have the Mark of Legend?"

"Of course! Look at my body! I don't bear one!" Garland spoke.

"What about that?" Iris asked and pointed her paw at Garland's left eye that is covered with bandage.

"This? Nah…" Garland said.

"If it is truly nothing, why do you have to conceal it? And let us take a look at it…" Iris spoke.

"Are you sure? I don't want little puppy Rucas to wet his bed tonight for having a nightmare…" Garland spoke.

"What?! Don't call me with that name!" Rucas spoke.

"Hm! Fine! Don't say that I didn't warn you yet."

Garland slowly removed the bandage that covered his left eye. Upon the bandage is removed, everyone started to act differently, but all could show their disgusting feeling toward what they are seeing…

"Zira! Don't look!" Rucas quickly covered Zira's eyes with his paw.

"Yuck!" Ellisk spoke.

"AGH!" Magnus who was drinking the water got choked up and splited the water out.

"What?!" Joshua and Leonel quickly got away from Garland.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Nyxier screamed and hid her face at Tyrus's chest, which annoyed Tyrus a bit.

"…" Tyrus and Fenrir said nothing, but both couldn't look at it too long.

"ARRR!" Kamui covered his eyes with his paw.

"Ah!" Sharon quickly turned away just a bit before Garland removed his bandage.

"…" Iris is the only one who could stared at what is hidden behind the bandage.

"See?" Garland spoke.

"What happened to your left eye?!" Rucas asked after seeing that Garland's left eye is completely ripped off, like if something very sharp was piercing through it!

"This? Just the fee for my second chance." Garland answered.

"And it seemed like I was right." Iris spoke. Because near Garland's left eye is the Mark of Legend!

"Hm? I have one too?" Garland spoke.

"Yes. I knew it" Iris spoke.

"Hm… I didn't know that that red giant bird could do this to me… He is such an axxxxxe." Garland mumbled with a very low voice so no one could heard him.

"Um… Before long, COULD YOU PLEASE KEEP THAT THING CONCEALED?!" Nyxier screamed.

"So annoying…" Garland mumbled and wrapped the bandage around his left eye.

"That meant that you are now one-eye blind?" Iris asked.

"Yes, but do not underestimate me. I am the Black Sniper. My shot is still perfect, even thought I have only one eye left." Garland spoke after he finished wrapping the bandage.

"So… Garland… You are the Hero of Legend too…" Rucas spoke.

"How could someone like him to be the Hero of Legend?!" Magnus spoke.

"Hey! I didn't say that I want to be this!" Garland scolded.

"But you are. The blood of legend is flowing through your vain and will carry on toward your descendant, Garland Quakersand the Garchomp." Iris spoke.

"We won't cooperate with him! For us, he is the murderer!" Joshua, Ellisk, Magnus and Leonel spoke.

"Unfortunately, you will have to get use to this… And maybe more…" Iris said.

"What is that 'Maybe more'?" Nyxier asked.

"YAWN…" Zira suddenly yawned out.

"Hm? Oh! This is very late. Let's end our meeting for today. We will continue it tomorrow." Iris spoke.

"If you say so… Then let's call a night." Rucas said.

"Don't drink too much water or else you will wet your bed, puppy Rucas." Garland spoke.

"Garland!" Rucas scolded.


Everyone started to leave Iris and went back to join their friends. The only Pokemon left are Iris, Garland and Sharon.

"Sharon, let's go." Garland spoke, but then…

"Wait, Garland." Iris said up.

"What?" Garland said.

"I think that you are not sleepy now. Please come with me. I have a very important thing to talk to you." Iris said.

"But Sharon…" Garland said.

"Don't worry about me… Garland… I am fine… I will stay with The Sword of Justice tonight." Sharon said.

"Then, let me escort you to them, Sharon. Iris, wait here."

Garland took Sharon to The Sword of Justice. He still didn't talk to them very much. After he finished his business, he came back to Iris.

"What do you want to talk about? If it isn't important, get lost!" Garland crossed his arms.

"…" Iris stared at Garland's eyes for a long time before she spoke up. "I was longed to meet you, Garland, and today I could do it!"

"Just only that?" Garland said.

"Garland, what else do you know about your parents?" Iris asked.

"Hm? Cobalion told me that my mother is 'The creature whom the god never cares'. No one loved her, even her parents had abandoned her since she was a baby. The only one who didn't hate her is my father. What is his name again? Tersoul? Hero of Earth? Whatever, he is the only one who loved and cared my mother. They finally got married. But one day, a terrible thing happened to my father, causing him to become berserked. He couldn't remember anything, and the worst is the thing that he loved most, my mother, turned into the thing that he hated most. Well… Just before he died, my father regained all of his memory and apologized to my mother. And then, he died. I don't know much after that. But my mother gave birth to me. Like what she is, I am 'The creature whom the god never cares.' Too. I don't know much about what is it, but I knew that most Pokemon preferred not to get close to me, well… It even happened before I was sent to the Desert Prison." Garland said.

"…That's… true… That's what happened to your parents…" Iris said.

"Do you have anything more to say?" Garland asked.

"… Did Cobalion told you that there is someone who shared the same blood with you?" Iris asked.

"Of course. 'The creature whom the god never cares' like me is very rare, but it existed in this universe…" Garland said.

"No. Cobalion didn't mean like that." Iris said.

"What?!" Garland looked at Iris.

"…Garland… The sin from your parents… You aren't the only sin that got birth from your parents…" Iris said.

To Be Continued…


Dragon of Vale: At last, we gained three more protagonists, Iris, Sharon and Garland. All of them are the Hero of Legend. And we learned that Sharon used a Beryl Whip as her weapon. Garland's and Iris's weapon is still didn't get revealed yet, as well as Iris's, Sharon's, Garland's, Kamui's and Tyrus's instrument.

We learned a lot about the Hero of Legend from the past. And… We learned some more past of Garland. Iris said something strange again, well… It will get revealed soon.
