Disclaimer: I don't own pokémon. Aliet Faslami started the entire thing, and I am starting off the story after her second book (the Fire stuff) ends. All mentions to the Jha'ik, Fslami, Shietaor, and Fire Element belong to Aliet Faslami. Don't worry, I have her permission to do this. Most of the human characters are mine, as is the Water language. Flames will be put out by Blastoise. Thank you.

Prologue



A being of great importance swam among the water depths, thinking about his people with hopelessness. He continually wished that they had listened, and had not been brought over to the evil side to become servants of the darkness. The being sighed as he thought about the oncoming future, and suddenly felt a strange feeling of knowing. He could feel that there was one of his people nearby. Understanding that his people had turned away from the teachings that were important in life, the being ignored it. However, something else told the being that this one was different. This one still believed in the old sayings and beliefs. Who had not strayed from the true ways.

The being was thrilled that one of his people still honored the true pokégods and did not enjoy warfare or killing. Yet the being also knew that if that was true, the evil would attempt to take the child away.yes, this one was still a child. It was the time of that child's life that would over go many changes, and it was the perfect time for Krethuyr to strike. Krethuyr, known to many others as Shietaor. No, the child had to be protected. There wasn't much time left before the great prophecy of the sacred treasures, and legendary birds, and chaos would begin, but even before that, Krethuyr would try to take the child. The being understood that, and only hoped that this child could bring back his people. Back to true knowing.

A strange darkness filled the being's mind. The being immediately recognized who it was.

What are you doing in my head?! The being practically snarled at the darkness, Get out!

The darkness sneered at the being. Of course I will. You were always too good for me to take you into my grasp. It would be soooooo much easier if I could bend any of the gods to my will. Then I could take over, and darkness shall reign. Fortunately for you, I can't.

That, the being actually agreed was fortunate, and was glad could never happen.

I would like to tell you something though. The Jha'ik are mine now. Forever. The people of water shall soon all be mine. There is nothing you can do, besides give up on regaining your people's trust, the darkness snarled before leaving the presence of the being.

The being sighed. Hopefully the darkness had not noticed the feelings of the child who was now the hope of her race. The being knew that the darkness would stop at nothing to make all of the Jha'ik to bow under its control, and the child would become another victim of Krethuyr's temptations. Therefore, the child would have to be protected.

Lugia, the Guardian of the Sea, knew that its time was near for the legends to start.
