Well, this chapter will showcase some minor references to death. No blood though. Thank you to all the readers who haven't stopped yet. Enjoy
Chapter 2: Xatu's Presage
One. Such an odd, lonely number. One needs acompany of another to make two. The only such thing as two in my life is the past and future, as I view both at once.
But this power is not as good as it seems. You see, there are terrible truths in the world that you cannot run from. It appears in many, both in past and the future. This truth is death. Even for I it will come, but whom I'm most worried for is my beloved trainer.
He has always told me that his goal was to become the greatest pokemon trainer. But what if he could never accomplish that feat, with that as his last thought before life ends? It terrorizes me to no end.
I wish I could protect him from his fate, yet death is inevitable. Is there a way I can alter this, to have him die knowing that a dream has been fulfilled?
Maybe there is a way to at least make him happy... No, he'd never love me like that. He has always known me as his friend and pokemon.
Fine, I'll admit it; I'm in love with Will. We've been friends since I was a Natu, when he was a child. I would have already taken him as my mate, but he is a human, and I'm a pokemon.
Will's the only friend that would listen to the doubts of my powers no matter how philosophical I sounded. But I never told him about our deaths.
Whenever I convince myself to tell him, the imagery of Will's motionless body tears me back.
I look to the sky. Few clouds hung above and the sun shone brilliantly. How must such a lovely sight cast upon days of darkness? Or perhaps does it show to guide us, a light through dark?
That's it! The sun is guiding me to make the right decision, and that decision is to tell Will my feelings. I cannot just stare in horror without any enactment, which is such a fault for my species.
I have decided that at sunset, I will confess.
~End of Chapter 2~
Have you noticed that some of the sentences I've used in the first chapter? I wanted to make it feel like they have a similar way of thinking, which adds to their similarities. I like writing in Xatu's mind. Anyhow, stay tuned for the climax!
