The moonlight filters softly through a window in the dark tower bedroom. In a deep blue bed is a teenage girl, maybe eighteen or nineteen. An older woman walks in. "Zorua."
The girl does not respond, for she is soundly asleep. But it is not a peaceful sleep, for she is curled up into a tight corner of her blue bed. The woman sighs.
"Zorua, if you don't wake up now your breakfast will be cold." Hearing the familiarity of these words, Zorua jolts awake. "Grandma? Are you there?"
But these are empty words, for her bedroom itself is empty. She sighs and curls up underneath her blue comforter.
"Wait."
Zorua almost leaps out of her bed. "Who's there?"
This time, she can see the blue hair in the darkness. "Mac, if this is a joke, you will be in for it tomorrow."
"Mac isn't here," her grandmother reassures her. "He's at his home in Normalia City."
"Normalia…" Zorua falls back asleep.
"You cursed her, Amaura," says a man with silver hair. "You cursed her, thirteen years ago."
"Silvally!" his wife shouts. "I had the same powers. She will be fine."
"But you didn't know until you were twenty!" Silvally argues. "She's known her whole life."
"No, she hasn't," replies Amaura. "We've never told her."
"She knows she's special."
"So?"
Silvally sighs. A ginger-haired woman walks into the room. "If it's okay with you two, we're going to call a meeting."
"Okay, Technetium," Amaura replies. "Just go over in that corner."
"Actually, we were going to include you two," Technetium tells her.
"Really?"
Technetium glares at Amaura before shaking her head. "We don't have to."
"Radium!" Amaura calls. An older woman with long blue hair enters the room.
"I am a Zirconium," she says. "Adedle Zirconium."
Amaura smiles. "There is nothing deadly about Zirconium. Radium, though…"
"I understand," says Adedle drily. She is one of the few of the Crystal Realm who has chosen to appear in her older years. "But I am Radium no more. Please call me Zirconium, even if I am not by blood, but by marriage. Or Adedle if you desire."
"How's your granddaughter?" Silvally asks. "She is family to all of us."
"Not me," Technetium points out.
"She is well," Adedle sighs. "But I'm afraid we'll lose her."
"Lose her?" Silvally is startled. "What do you mean?"
"Lose her to her father."
"No, that won't happen," Amaura mutters. "She's got her love from me, her courage from Silvally, her persistence from you… She's a Zirconium, after all."
"More like a Zircon."
"Her last name doesn't matter," Amaura argues. "Just look at the Iron family. They are so close, even though not all of them are Irons. I mean, last name isn't all that matters."
Silvally stares at his wife. "You're always telling me what it means to be a Zirconium."
"Because you are a Zirconium," she replies. "And you always will be. And you need to know how."
Silvally sighs and marches away.
"Don't you think you're being too lenient?" Adedle asks. "I watch over her all the time, at least since I died a year ago."
That doesn't matter. Adedle might be watching, but Zorua can't see her. Is it really useful to watch someone when you can't change their life?
Amaura sighs and leaves the room. But Adedle stays. She is remembering something she read almost ten years ago.

Professor Zircon's writing. Adedle's writing. Are they really so different?
No, says part of Adedle's mind. She sighs. Because as much as she hates her son-in-law Zygarde, part of her loves him too, as if he were her actual son and not by marriage. And she knows that Diantha is the same way.
And even though Zygarde is very wicked, she thinks, trying to destroy a region and all that, surely it would be better than her marrying Dave Arbok, who accidentally murdered Russet Technetium, or Lysandre Actinium, the leader of Team Flare.
Dave Arbok tried. But eventually he gave up and married a water type, then had a daughter named Jessie, who is twenty-two now. All of them are extremely dedicated to Team Rocket.
But the handwriting. It catches her off guard. She is the one who taught Zygarde to write like that. It is deemed too beautiful and ancient for many people to write on a daily basis. Most can't even read it. But Zygarde picked up the talent naturally, like he was part of the Radium family.
He wasn't. Zygarde was a Chlorine.
The Chlorines were a powerful family. Most of their fame has fizzled out now, but they remain distinguished in an ancient way. Maybe it is because of their long history of Pokémon training, or their famous naming system, typically after Pokémon starting with the letter Z. Maybe it is because old memories are never truly forgotten. You don't have to be Annie Zinc to unearth these hidden treasures.
Maybe there is an ancient magic of the Mica Realm. Not the kind where you wave your wand, but the kind that makes you remember. The kind that whispers to you, from you, or even straight through you.
The kind that makes you feel.
The kind that drove Zygarde away from the Chlorines.
Only Adedle knows why he is now a Zircon.
