Author's Note: Sequel of Sword's Fate and Darkness of Psychics

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

The Grass-type was breathing heavily, feeling like she had suffered a powerful Thunder in her centre. Mew had not been exaggerating when saying others considered it a discomfort, she could certainly agree with it. Taking some more deep breaths, she rose to her feet somewhat unsteadily, looking down the mountain.

She half-wondered if she should visit Cobalion while she was still here. While all four of them had settled into the relationship, she knew him well enough that sometimes some flashes of Aburion still lingered in his mind. Who knew how he'd react to learning that this could have been hers just as much as it was Virizion's.

The female Sword slowly descended the mountain, taking her time as a bad move would make shots of pain shoot through her body. She had heard mortals complain about 'periods' before and couldn't help but wonder if those felt like this. If so, she gained a new bit of admiration for them for regularly going through this.

Closing her eyes, she tilted her head a bit. Someone was coming up the mountain. Even with the discomfort it took her only a moment to disappear in some nearby vegetation. Ahead of her some humans broke through the trees lower on the mountain. They wore mountaineering-gear and seemed not to care at all that a Legendary had his home nearby. Instead, they were discussing something as they walked. Whatever it was, it was quite heated from what she could tell.

Slowly making her way deeper into the trees, she then followed at a distance to hear what they were talking about. At the very least, it would be interesting.

"I'm just saying. They are not telling us stuff." The man in front sharply pointed out.

"You see conspiracies everywhere." His friend muttered. "Not everything is an evil plot to keep the common people stupid, you know. Just because an Elite Four is sick and they have to suspend challenges doesn't mean they are suppressing you. It only means an Elite Four is sick."

Virizion rolled her eyes, turning to leave. Humanity was still quite weird, that's for certain.

"Virizion." A mental voice called out to her halfway down the mountain.

"Cobalion." She send a short confirmation, turning to head down towards his cave-entrance.

"I felt your pain." He informed her. "I guess that was what Azelf told me about."

"Mmhmm..." Deciding she might as well, the Grass-type entered the cave-system, making her way through it to the Steel-type. "How likely were you to storm out with sword drawn?"

"The fact that I felt no surprise or anything of the like stopped me." The blue Legendary appeared out of another corridor to greet her. "Barely."

She chuckled warmly at that, briefly rubbing her head against his. "Always nice to know."

"You do realize Terrakion wouldn't have considered that." Cobalion turned to head deeper into the cavern.

"He would have gone straight up, I bet." She followed, both their hooves clacking in the stone hallway. "That would have been awkward with those humans that are currently scaling this mountain."

The normally quite stoic male couldn't quite suppress a chuckle at the mental image of their quartet-member breaking through the rock in front of some random humans. Or knowing their luck, under a human.

His companion outright laughed, following his line of thought. "So what did you think of this plan of the Elder Legendaries?"

"I can see the need." He mused, laying down on a comfortable spot on the ground. He looked her over, eyes lingering on her midsection. "Though I am not sure we are the best group. We do travel a lot."

"There are some that never touch down." Virizion reminded him, stretching lightly. "The Forces of Nature, for one. Those as parents will get interesting."

He could only agree with that assessment. "I wonder what the others think of it."

"Keldeo is probably panicking and Terrakion… Terrakion is… I actually don't quite know what he'd do. He'd probably not complain too much about a youngster. He did quite like the raising of Keldeo."

"Very true." He smiled at her. "We'll see in detail at Roshan, I guess."

"Should we meet up earlier with them?" She wondered, shifting to lean against him. "We didn't really expect something like this happening when setting the date."

"We could or we could give everyone thinking-time. I think I prefer that, actually." He leaned his head against hers. "This will be a big change… for all of us, regardless of who is the father and when we do it."

"Or if we even do it." She pointed out softly, getting comfortable for a late nap.
