Queen's feather

Chapter 3

-Author notes-

Third chapter down~! Alright, this chapter has a hint of something sexual but nothing else. As stated in the previous chapter, this chapter comes in two parts; One for Reshiram and another for Zekrom. This chapter is for Zekrom. So you all that have read the previous chapter can skip to a label that says Dream Sequence. I'll have Bolded, Italicized, and underlined so you can see it. Also, German names are at the bottom. That language will popup here and there in later chapters, so I'll put translations either up here or at the end. Also, this chapter says its 6000 words, its not. Chp 4, the real one is in the works.

N yawned as another day came and went with little means of his dream becoming true. That girl's speech in Accumula town rendered the populace to not release their Pokémon as she had given them something to grasp at. People knew their Pokémon better than the next person; knew what they liked, hated, loved, feared, etc. But it didn't make much sense about the girl…She held an air about her that spoke of experience in battle, yet she seemed so caring of her Pokémon…Not one of them looked abused, neglected, or sign of trauma. Nothing!

Yet…He felt a surge of emotion, akin to meeting a long-time friend or rival, but there were also his dreams. Zekrom and Reshiram were calling out to their heroes but whom did he belong to? Which dragon would help him fulfill his dream of all the world's Pokémon free of humanity? He closed his eyes briefly before the cry of Sawsbuck lookalike caused him to snap his eyes wide open to discreetly look around for the source, before he pulled his hat down a tad to sigh lightly.

There was also that Pokémon of that girl…it seemed to be haunting him with its cry, likened to a forlorn lover seeking her/his lover after so long. It didn't help that said noise oft accompanied a melody. A soothing ancient melody, making everything stand still to listen to its powerful tune. But the song always ended abruptly when it began to go into a feminine voice, screams always ended the once soothing melody to sorrow filled cries of a Pokémon mourning its trainer. Its cries were echoed by an echolike bay and a deep scratchy roar, one filled with as with sorrow the other filled with rage, before the raged filled cry drowned out everything. The result of these dreams caused him a couple problems, one was just now wilting away, while the other caused him to have will of steel when it came to those dreams.

They filled him with foreign emotions, making him thrash about in his sleep, crying out softly before waking up screaming or choking back a scream. They seemed to draw him in, trying to tell him something, but once he tried to reach for the answers they had, the foundation on which he stood on in the dreams fell away. Leaving him with those sounds as an afterthought, and causing a number of headaches of trying to research on what the sounds mean. He had discovered one of the ancient songs from his family was actually shared with another family, in Kalos, but they became dust and the ruling family was just now looking into those songs while they, the Harmonia family, retained those songs, albeit more recent than they.

"Something amiss, my lord?" One of the grunts…Anatta, said, concerned for her lord's wellbeing. He had been uncharacteristically more agitated and tired than before Acculmula Town. They had all heard of the 'successful' attempt of one girl's words against the Sage Ghetsis's. The words seemed to ring clearer in those horrid trainers' ears than the Sage's. How could one girl manage to dissuade so many abusive trainers to releasing their Pokémon? Yet, their king seemed more set on not gaining much sleep after a few nights of 'nightmares'. From certain people in the camp, those 'nightmares' weren't horrible at all, but actually premonitions of feeling the legendary dragons trying to call out to their heroes. Just one detail that didn't seem to add up with all this…The cries of a sorrowful Pokémon in his dreams.

"Just tired is all." He said, adjusting his hat to not lean on his face. He had a glint in his eyes, and determined if he could get information on things. But first, the girl and her friends were surely in Striaton city by now. And would luck have it, they were close to said city, with the sage Ghetsis preparing to give another speech though making sure to be on the lookout for the blind girl. He had orders to not interact with the girl, but he wanted some information that she seemed to only have, and he will get it.

Striaton city, a few hours later, Aerowen

Aerowen wanted to slap Bianca silly for suggesting trying to go without Lixue for a few hours. He was her seeing eye Pokémon and she couldn't be without him guiding her. Sure, she could see blurry things that she could make out to be shapes and people but even glasses couldn't cure it. She began to weave through the grass, muttering apologies to any small Pokémon she stepped on. She stopped in the middle of the place and looked around with her limited sight before giving a small breath of triumph through her nose, before sitting down in the grass and laying back with a sigh of relief.

She was never able to do this sort of thing back home. If she did, she would be swarmed by beedrill like reporters wanting to get the latest scoop on her life; romantic or private. Here in Unova, she was an unknown to this place and could do things she wouldn't be able to do in peace. Like make Pokepuffs~! Now that required some major shopping to do. She couldn't even begin to count the number of times Shadow Jr. got into the batter of a batch and just gobbled it up like no tomorrow, before having to throw it up because it didn't settle well in his stomach. She looked at the blurred blue sky above her with a small lift of her lips, as she listened to the numerous Pokémon roaming around the place, just talking about daily things and other things. She closed her eyes and just listened…

A piercing scream had her sitting up in a second. She looked at the sky, finding the sun was beginning to set, cursing Bianca for not trying to find her after so long, but she also cursed herself for letting the time fly by so fast. Getting up, brushing the grass particles from herself as best she could, she took on tentative step before the other with her hands ahead of her, to ensure she didn't bump into anything or anyone in this place. She placed a hand on a crumbly concrete wall, and looked around the corner to immediately snap her head back from looking. She looked again, and saw blurred outlines of a couple people and a pink blob being hit by said people. She backed away from the corner and adjusted her cap, and softly patted her left side to make sure she had Mimosa's ball, before stepping around the wall to confront these idiots, or at least intimidate them into leaving the Pokémon alone.

"Huh? What are you doing here kid? Run along…?" Person on the left said, blurry dressed like one of those plasma grunts at the rally in Accumula town. Aerowen remained silent as she brought up Mimosa's ball, narrowing her eyes as she did. She had the wrong ball, but she had to deal with consequences later. For now, she'll have to intimidate them into leaving, if they didn't want to deal with a legendary…And said ball opened before she could even toss it out, making her see Xerneas with its head bowed, ready to attack the grunts. It gave a cry, pawing at the ground. It seemed it wasn't above hurting humans when wanting to help Pokémon.

"Release the Munna or else you'll get mine horns in your gullet. It'll not be pleasant way to go, but humans have done worse to garner mine ire." Xerneas said, staring at grunts with eyes brim with determination. Aerowen knew once both people pulled out pokeballs to release their Pokémon, it was over. Her legendary wasn't a pushover, but she had to abide by Unova laws, and she didn't know where her bag was…She softly slapped her right hand to her face. She left it with Bianca. This has just been one mess after another, and to top it off, she didn't even need to command Xerneas on what to do. She would let the fairy legendary deal out justice itself, barring goring and limb ripping. And something caught her attention with hearing noises rushing towards her, to only see blurred outlines of a few Ariados, looking mighty peeved.

She gulped and looked at the battle seeing Xerneas preoccupied with low level Pokémon, toying with them, before looking back to the Ariados. They crawled forward slowly, paying no attention to her legendary at all. A short bleeping cry went up, making her eyebrows raise in surprise at hearing a Kalos Pokémon cry in Unova…And sure enough, an Meowstic walked daintily out from the dark grass and it was followed by espurrs. She really wanted to rack her head with how a Kalos Pokémon had come to Unova of all places, but she was witnessing something quite odd…

She shut her eyes and clasped her hands over her ears as one of the espurrs unleashed a Disarming voice towards one of the Ariados, one on the far left. They, the Ariados, went running in different directions; one went closest to Xerneas' left, another went zigzagging to the right, and the last one came running straight towards her and the Meowstic lifted its ears, lifting center Ariados with little effort before tossing it into a protruding metal pipe, effectively killing it but the psychic made sure it was truly dead as it pulled the body from the pipe before slamming it back onto it at a different angle, pulling the body once more off the pipe, though it flung it into deeper into the place, possibly in the woods.

Its ears closed before it turned towards the fight on the right, looking on with its little arms crossed. Aerowen looked at Xerneas' fight, seeing the blurred legendary handling the fight well, though it was prolonging the fight just to possibly teach the Plasma grunts what folly it was to mess with it, before looking to the fight with the Espurr and Ariados. From how it looked from her opinion, along with her limited sight, it was very much one-sided. It was faster than the espurr and was dancing around it, landing a minor Bug Bite here and there. But the little psychic was keeping up with it by landing Disarming Voice every chance it could. It was not to be…The Ariados decided that it was done playing with its 'food/prey' as it sped towards the little catlike psychic with more speed than it could turn to its advantage, and tried to bite its head off. A meowing like cry from the Meowstic beside her told her much.

"Quite foolish, that one. Gifted he is, but inexperienced with battle. He would be dead if the mean one followed through with her attack, but a lesson was learned. The other one…is more foolish than my little mons."

"I figure that Ariados attacking your little mon right now is…?" Aerowen said, lightly slapping a hand over her mouth to begin berating herself mentally for talking with the Pokémon when people were present. The Meowstic seemed amused, or the tone it used next indicating it.

"A friend, gifted one, one who helped this old one with settling after being abandoned by her trainer. She does not kill my mons like others do. This old one has had many mons with her when she was abandoned but that has been long ago, and she is grateful for a few of her mons still alive today. She is happy to be here, away from annoying trainers, but gifted one seems to have much in store for her. This one may not be gifted in foresight as other types are, but she wishes to have both her mons go with you."

Aerowen blinked in surprised at the request and tapped her chin once. "I promise on my life, and your mons life that they will be treated with the utmost respect deserved of them. And once this is over, I will bring them back here, if you wish."

The Meowstic shook its head, "This old one has a few other mons that need tending to and in need of caring of. She needs not more mouths to feed if they know how not to fend for themselves. She does wish to have gifted one a gift as well, once this is over."

It said, looking over to the scene with the Plasma grunts, and seeing something odd happen. Aerowen looked as well and blinked in surprise as the pink blob was floating next to a different colored blob, seemingly unharmed. A small cry next to her had her looking down to one of the Espurrs with something in its paws. She knelt slowly down and held both hands out, not moving them from their position until the espurr placed the item in her hand. She couldn't quite make out the colors, but it seemed like a smooth gem. She closed her hands slowly around it, to ensure the psychic wasn't trying to play tricks and lifted the item to her chest before bowing her head to the Meowstic, keeping it like that until it tapped her head with its right arm, and she stood slowly. She bowed her head again and looked at the two Espurrs waving their little arms at their Memma.

"We'll miss you, Memma. Where gifted one is, this young one will be."

The Meowstic waved back, bubbling emotions echoing in her tone, "And I too will miss you. Wherever the winds blow, and your feet lead you, this old one will know that gifted one will take good care of you. She will take you to this one's homeland but be good for her as she will to you. Bonded she is to Lady Xerneas, she will not allow any harm to come to you while in her care."

The catlike psychic said before leaving her with two little Espurrs to place in her team. She smiled at them both before placing a pokeball in front of them.

"This is what I catch you with. Once it's done, I'll release you from the ball and place a ribbon on your left arm, but may I know your names or do you wish for me to give you names?", She said, looking at the two little Espurrs, one a shiny, her left, and the other normal. They looked at each other before giving a, "Name us!" cry said it all. She smiled brightly at them, knowing what name to name the shiny, moving her hand gently to poke its little nose.

"I'll name you Lady Drachensonne* or Lady for short. How does that sound?", she said, gaining a resounding happy "Yippy! This young one has a name!" before looking at the male, "And I'll name you Sir Heiliges Vertrauen* or Sir Vert for short."

"This young one accepts the name of Sir Heiliges Vertrauen with pride. Its sounds better than Blue.", the male Espurr said, his sister nodding in total agreement, "Memma wasn't very good at naming us so, this one was named Blue and she was named Pink."

Aerowen gave a nervous chuckle before hearing the sound of running feet, and scooped up the Espurrs into her arms to look towards the source of the noise to see Bianca and Cheren running towards her, but they stopped a few feet away from her as they stared up at Xerneas. Said Pokémon gave a toss of its head and rubbed the top of her head, skewing the hat a bit. Cheren pulled out his dex, wanting to know what it was but got an unknown error, before putting it away with a slight frustrated sigh. Bianca focused more on her and held out her bag with both arms.

"I'm so sorry! I forgot you needed your seeing eye Pokémon to get around normally and…Oh, those Pokémon are so cute! Did you just catch them?", she said, bouncing from one subject to another. Aerowen didn't know how to broach that subject just yet, she just didn't want to constantly be asked what they were saying or anything. She found it tedious, knowing from experience of outright saying she could talk to Pokémon. She gave a soft sigh and smiled at both of them, but the little psychics beat her to speaking.

"Hello, these ones are gifted one's Pokémon. This one and her brother haven't been caught yet, but she can now catch us and take up her promise.", the female Espurr said, and she had to mentally sigh at how Cheren and Bianca couldn't understand the little psychic but a gasp from Bianca and, "What in the…?" from Cheren, confirmed that the Espurr was actually talking.

"Gifted one, will you now catch us to allow us to travel with you?", the talking female Espurr said, moving in her arms to look at her. She nodded before setting both down to reach into her bag, held by Bianca, before tapping both with a pokeball. The ensuing twitching balls and tension was near cuttable with a scyther blade. Cheren pushed his glasses up his nose a bit and turned to her.

"What's this talk of a 'gifted one', Aerowen, and why did that Pokémon call you that?", he said, tone demanding yet asking.

"Its…something I don't talk about, Cheren. It's an ability I have, much like that man we met at Accumula town, but I know not to mention it.", She said, still holding the little gem the Espurrs gave her and held it to her chest.

"Then why not mention it when N told us?", Cheren said, and regretted it almost immediately. Aerowen's head snapped up to look at him with angered eyes.

"It's because of people like you and others, judging me whenever I talk to Pokémon, that make me hesitant to even talk about it. It sickens me that when I mention the ability that I get asked nearly every day about what some random Pokémon is saying. I love this ability of mine, but if I have to choose between having friends of Pokémon or humans, I would've choosen Pokémon. They understand better than humans can, but I don't sink that low. I was raised to accept my ability with dignity and continue marching forward, no matter what consequences may come from it.", She said, tone stern and infallible.

The statement had Cheren thinking over his questions, realizing that trying to poke and prod the Champion of Kalos to tell him her secrets wasn't the way to know her better. Being nice wouldn't cut it either, being truthful or honest was her game with people. If someone lied, she played them like they would try to play her. His eyes began to widen at the realization of what she could possibly do with her experience and how to best give advice to someone like him.

"It's understandable that you would distrust someone wishing to know more about you, especially with that type of ability, but it doesn't mean we just want you around to look good or be better than anyone else. Cheren's just being himself, inquisitive and hardheaded. I maybe flighty and a bit dumb at times, but it doesn't mean that I will sit down and allow someone be bullied or push around like that.", Bianca said, leaping to her own defense but also lightly glaring at Cheren for being a hard ass on Aerowen. Cheren only coughed at his own slight idiocy for acting like that to her, but he needed every advantage that he could have to become champion. If it meant trying to get a more experienced trainer to become his rival, then so be it…A couple clicks had them looking at the pokeballs with varying emotions; Cheren was apprehensive, Bianca was happy, Aerowen was wary. A flash and both were out with a cry of relief.

"What happened today isn't mentioned at all. My ability is kept a secret, and no one will be taking Lady from me." Aerowen said, reaching into her bag to pull out a royal purple ribbon, complete with a tag. On it said, 'Pokémon Captured by Aerowen Artemidoros', and she tied the ribbon around its neck lightly, and it tugged on it once before saying, "Gifted one, this young one adores this ribbon. It matches well with her color." She then reached into her bag to pull out a steel blue ribbon, presenting it to the male Espurr. He reached for it and she laughed lightly before tying it around his right arm. She'll probably transfer the ribbon to a different place to be more secure, but for now, it'll do. Another flash and Lixue's announcement of, "I'm here bitches!", had her giving a blazing smile at Cheren and Bianca.

"Lixue, meet Lady Drachensonne and Sir Heiliges Vertrauen, or Lady and Sir Vert for short.", she said to the male Sylveon, before placing the gem in her bag and picking up Lady and placing Sir Vert on Lixue's back, "Let's go to the pokemon center, it's almost dark and the gym will possibly be closed by the time we get back.", She said, to Cheren and Bianca, who nodded before walking alongside her but not before she recalled Xerneas to its ball.

"Aerowen, how long have you been Champion? I've been wondering how long you've held the title since you don't seem much older than us.", Bianca said, placing her left pointer finger on her chin as they sat in the waiting room of the Pokecenter.

"I've held the title since I was thirteen, so six years.", Aerowen said, smiling when Bianca's jaw dropped and Cheren did a spit take from his drink, nodding when he opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out other than sputtering gibberish. Bianca was imitating a Magicarp, with how her mouth opened and closed like said fish. Lixue gave a slight tug on her left wrist and she got up from her seat, and went to the counter be given a room for the night. Holding Lady in her arms, she went to her assigned room and released all but Xerneas from their confinement. Placing her bag on desk, she went about getting ready for bed, even though it wasn't nearly time to go to sleep yet. And once in her pajamas; a white t-shirt and a short short pair of shorts. Arthur already had her holocaster in his beak and laid it down on her right side, poking her with said beak lightly.

"Thank you, Arthur. Collin must want to know how I'm doing here.", she said, petting Arthur on his head a bit before turning the device on and dialing said person. It rung a few times, and she nearly had to hang up to call again before Collin's image showed up, bed tossed hair and shirtless.

"Hey, Aero. How's Unova?"

"It's good, Collin, but one problem, I was roped into going on a journey with some kids here. They are quite a pair, super greenhorns those two are. One wants to become Juniper's assistant, while the other wants to become champion. The assistant one, is blond and is a fan of mine, while the other is trying to gauge how best to defeat me if I decide to do the gyms here."

"Well shit. You got your work cut out for you, Wen. And just to let you know, before Malva decides to tell you. A plasma rally happened outside yesterday, 18 people and 14 pokemon were injured. I don't know details of how injured the pokemon or people are, but this couldn't wait until team Plasma was done with its goals or defeated. Many of the other gym leaders here in Kalos want you to come home to try to get things organized and straight, but we had just gotten word from Unova's professor, Juniper. She told us that you went along with a couple of novice pokemon trainers to journey around. Whether you are going to challenge the champion or just wonder around Unova, be careful. I don't know what's going to happen but don't try to do anything stupid, dangerous, or get another legendary that may or may not involve risking your life to obtain." Collin said, brushing some of his bedhead to resemble something more natural but it still looked like bedhead. Aerowen just shrugged before pulling her long black hair for someone to braid, but stopped as she remembered that no one was there with her to braid it. She'll leave down to brush it out in the morning. She scrunched her face up a bit, making Colling notice, "Hey, something wrong?"

"I usually braid my hair before I go to bed, but I haven't learned how to braid it before I came to Unova…Oh well, something I can add to a list of things I need to relearn.", She said before lightly slapping her cheek, "Forgot to tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"The two novices learned today that I can speak with pokemon, from a talking pokemon no less.", she said, twirling a strand of her hair in her right hand, looking at the blue blurred outline of Collin, possibly slapping himself for something like that to happen. A knock at her door had Lixue opening the door, and exclaiming at the top of his lungs, "POKEPUFFS!" making her look to see who it was, and there was Bianca with a small bag of pokepuffs in her hand as Lixue seemed intent on getting them from her.

"Seems like Lixue hasn't changed one bit with his addiction to pokepuffs. And I still have small nightmares of that guy bowling me over just to get those little treats."

A clang of a bag hitting the floor had Aerowen once more looking at the door to see Cheren's outline. He was possibly shocked to find out Lixue was actually a male and it had her giggling like mad, making Collin chuckle as well. Bianca seemed to have slight trouble with trying to get the male Sylveon off her since she held his coveted treat. An "EEP!" went up from her and Lixue soon was digging into the bag of pokepuffs with delight, "This shit is amazing!"

"Well, someone's going to have stomach problems when he wakes up tomorrow.", Aerowen said, looking back to her holocaster. She waved goodbye to Collin before shutting it down, yawning as Shade laid Xerneas' pokeball on the bed. She patted the female absol on the head, paying no attention to Bianca and Cheren. She did however smile at them when Cheren left the room, as Lixue locked it, prompting Bianca to ask, "Why do you lock the door?"

"You never know if team plasma would come through that door while we sleep and steal our Pokémon. I've had my stuff stolen before, but they were given back promptly after since Xerneas was threatening to disembowel him for taking it away from me. I'm going to get some sleep since trying to sleep while rocking on a boat doesn't do you good." Aerowen said, getting underneath her covers and wrapping her left hand around the ball that Xerneas was kept in, its presence leaking out and soothing her slightly frayed nerves of the day…She didn't hear Bianca's questions on whatever topic she wanted to discuss, all she could hear was the ancient melody of long ago echoing in her mind and she dreamed.

Dream Sequence

Her dream eyes opened to a sight befitting her title as princess. Her favorite flower, Edelweiss, was blooming all around her and Xerneas was laying with its head next to her right leg, its legs folded underneath it as it exuded a calming force. She smiled at the fairy legendary before hearing the roar of thunder and fire in the distance, looking in every direction to pinpoint where the origin of the sound was coming from. She looked to the sky and found it covered with black lightning and white flames, looking to dominate the other. She felt Xerneas lift its head to look at the sky and stood, she followed suit before a gale ripped apart the flowers leaving naught but ash and char. She looked to her state of dress and found it in tatters, like her favorite flower.

"What ails you, mine trainer?" Xerneas' words echoed, a calm backdrop to the chaos brewing around them, and she looked at the fairy legendary with sad eyes.

"I know not what ails me, Xerneas, but I feel uncertain of how mine dream became a chaotic warzone." She said, looking at the legendary's eyes as it looked at her, before its head looked back to the sky, becoming defensive as two different roars resounded in the sky. It sounded like a deep garbled roar against an echoing roar. She felt a thunderous clash in the sky and closed her eyes as she braced for the shockwave from the attack. Brightness flashed before her eyelids and feeling of heat seemed to touch her skin until she felt nor saw the heat or the brightness again, looking to the sky for answers to find it split between fire on the left and lightning on the right. Another clash and a bright light blinded both her and Xerneas.

She reached out to touch Xerneas, to ensure it was ok, but she felt something akin to scale and sandpaper. She opened her eyes to see black lightning dancing alongside her, making her think the lightning and her were old friends, but she couldn't see Xerneas. She looked at what she was touching and didn't see anything of the scale and sandpaper, but empty space. She felt her hair raise up as she felt heat charge the air and a path was torn through the lightning, white flame lining the path. A figure appeared in torn pathway, heading towards her, making her feel like she had to meet this person midway. She took a quick glance at her attire and found it wasn't in tatters but a flowing black dress armor. It reached her ankles yet still allowed for easy movability. The designs were perfect, right down to fingerless gloves. She felt she didn't deserve to wear something this otherworldly, but she pushed it aside to begin taking a step but, "Do not follow him."

A deep scratchy voice said, making it sound both feminine and masculine. She turned to look at the lightning behind her and saw they had dimmed, before seeing a tree akin to Xerneas' slumbering form and thought the fairy legendary was burning, but it wasn't and the heat had intensified in the air, making her look back at the approaching figure, now closer.

"The time approaches for us to reunite together."

She felt the scale and sandpaper again from behind and turned to look into a red eye with yellow pupils. In looking at them, she saw the entirety of her dress, along with a few Edelweiss in her hair with black leaves. The black lightning still danced around her, but it danced around this Pokémon as well. An odd familiarity seemed to echo in her head, making her tilt her head to the right, before she reached out to touch the eye or the scale sandpaper, but it blinked, disappearing into the lightning.

"You'll come to accept me, mine friend…"

Friend? Did she know this Pokémon before? That odd feeling echoed in her head again, making her feel like she had met an old friend after so long of being away from each other. Joyous rapture and delight echoed but also sadness. How long has it been since they had seen each other? A world without them was likened to walking in the dark, she wouldn't know where she would go without that light.

"You must accept thy destiny in thy hands alone."

Alone? Without them in it? She briefly thought of Xerneas and what joyous rapture she had was intensified nearly tenfold, making her wince as she placed a hand on her head. She would accept her destiny if it meant seeing her friend again in this world, along with Xerneas.

"Look at the sky, mine hero."

She did as ordered and gasped at what she saw. The moon hung full in the sky and it held no fire or lightning in it, but it seemed to be descending.

"You will know me by mine form. Hurry! Time rushes against us!"

The voice said, becoming softer as the lightning seemed to die down as the flames roared with more life than usual. She looked back at the figure, almost seeming reaching out to her with white alabaster skin, holding his hand out for her to take. She was hesitant, where was Xerneas and where was her other friend? She couldn't take her heart breaking again.

"Do not follow him."

The red eye appeared before her and instead of her dress armor, she was in her normal attire. She reached out to touch the eye but began to fade, and the figure did as well, but not before she saw his face. She blinked at the clarity of his face but a bright light shining on her face forced her from her dream to reality.

She woke to seeing Bianca rubbing Kanaloa's head as she hummed a voiceless tune. It reminded her of the melody she had heard from her grandmother, and she began to hum it. She blocked out everything to remember a faded memory of her grandmother's words. How sweet and kind she was as queen, she was remembered harshly for her decisions against development and advancement.

"Now, Aerowen, remember. Some members of our family have become blind in the past, but it never stopped us from ruling Kalos. This melody has passed down from generation to generation. I was just a young girl when my mother sang this melody…a sweet and lovely melody that our Ancestress sang to the ruling family of Unova. How sad her story was, stricken from history, never told in full of how it ended. I may teach you the entire song one day but not today."

Oh, how she wanted to know how the song went, or what it meant to her family. She sighed before getting up to start her day, unknowing of the small edelweiss flower laying on her pillow next to her head…
