Chapter Eleven up! Yeah! Um…sorry to those who feel Ash and Co. shouldn't be in this story. I was writing and it just seemed to fit, the prophecy and all. Don't worry though, in this story, Ash won't make an appearance, I will be starting a sequel in a few chapters, once Kiara escapes. Thanks for the review, favorites, and follows!
"Human Talking"
"Pokemon Talking"
Realization
"We're all doomed!"
I screamed at the top of my lungs. My friends, they had been there for me, and now they were going to be brought down, by me.
"Kiara, calm down! Kiara!"
Meloetta, Dragonite, Lucario, Alakazam, Zorua, Bulbasaur. Every single one of them, they still believed in me.
Despite me being a monster.
I was destined to destroy the world, I may fly higher, but I was the bringer of darkness.
"Meloetta, what happened?"
Bulbasaur sounded afraid, afraid for me. Why would it care?
I was worthless.
I should be left alone.
"Bulbasaur, this girl, is the Destined One."
A collective gasp met my ears. It seemed they knew the prophecy.
"She's the Destined One, she's the savior in the prophecy!"
No. I am not a savior. Did they not see? I'm a demon!
"Yes, but, her past is...horrible."
The understatement of the century. Meloetta couldn't sum up my past in one word, it was impossible.
I forced my eyes open and faced my friends.
"I am the Destined One, but I am no savior."
"Kiara! What are you talking about?"
Meloetta's eyes shone with tears and concern. Tear stains streaked it's dirty face.
Dragonite's eyes conveyed concern, and my other friends, they were all in the same sorry state. I had caused this. It was all my fault.
"The prophecy you know, is longer. I have seen it, in, in my past life. In a ruin, of an ancient people."
"Kiara?"
"Meloetta, the prophecy, it's actually longer."
Chosen One, born from fire
Destined One, the one who flies higher
Meet, they will, soon to see
Together as one, they'll never flee
Fighting the darkness, bringing the light
With powers of legend, they must unite
Chosen by Arceus, to save the heartless
Destined for doom, to bring the darkness
They will meet, starting the war
Hurry they must for if they don't restore
the Protectors of Peace, the dames
The world will erupt into flames
As I explained, my friends eyes widened, and I saw them back up.
They now understood, my pain, my sorrow.
"Kiara, we can help, it says you can save the world, with the Chosen One."
"No! Don't you see! I am the evil, if we meet, the war will start!"
I screamed at them, my aura visibly flaring.
Why couldn't they see? I just told them! I wanted them to leave, to save themselves. To get away from me.
"Kiara, please, forgive me."
Meloetta started to sing, and this time, it reached me. I was back in reality. Lucario approached me and sent aura with positive emotions towards mine.
Upon contact, a brilliant purple swirled around me. Anger, fear, hurt, worry, my red-tinted aura shining with a vengeance.
Happiness, relief, comfort, hope, Lucario's blue-tinted aura brightened with faith, in me.
Next was Alakazam. It approached me and hypnotically twirled it's spoons. Drowsy waves emanating from it's body.
It was all too much.
Aura, psychic, music, and exhaustion. The Sweet Scent from Bulbasaur was the finishing touch.
I felt myself falling, falling into the pleasant dream world I called my own.
Before hitting the ground, muscular orange arms, Dragonite, caught me.
"Kiara, you were always strong-willed, but, please, let us help you now."
I saw it's big blue eyes shining with tears, then felt mine close.
Upon closing my eyes, I felt like I was opening them again, and did a double take.
I was in a gleaming white hall, emblazoned with gold leafing. Marble seats lined the wall, with small symbols on each one.
A rainbow flame.
A swirling blue and white whirlpool.
A brilliant, blue gem.
A white flame.
A purple strip of DNA.
A nagging feeling told me they meant something, but I didn't know what. They seemed important, but I had a headache.
"Welcome, Destined One."
A deep voice echoed throughout the room, blocking out any other sounds. It was commanding, yet gentle, and I could feel the power it possessed. I flipped around and gasped.
Arceus.
"You seem to know me."
I could only nod dumbly, I was in the presence of a legend after all.
"Destined One, you have lost your way. I have summoned you to right the wrongs you see."
Lost, my way? Right, the wrongs?
"What?"
"You were Destined to go through this, Destined for this life. You must embrace it."
"How? How can I accept my past? I am worthless! I am Destined to bring doom to those around me! Arceus, you may be a legend, but you can't save me! I can't be saved from my past."
"Child, you are my creation. I had a feeling you were the Destined One from the time you came into being. It is not your fault, it is fate at work."
"Fate? Fate is not it, it's my fault! I'm a monster, demon, darkness. Ugh!"
"Child...please...try to forgive yourself...do it...for your friends. Please."
"How?"
"That is for you to find out."
Arceus turned and strode out of the room. I was left to my own thoughts.
Well, now I knew what the symbols were.
I was in the Hall of Origin.
What was I supposed to do? How do I forgive myself?
Pondering these thoughts, I barely noticed the room swirling. The gold merging into the white, signaling my awakening.
I would have to face reality once again.
"Kiara? Kiara? Hello? You there?"
"I think she's coming around."
"Look! Her eyes fluttered!"
"Good."
I groaned and forced my eyes open. Bulbasaur and Zorua were standing over me peering down, while Meloetta floated above me. Dragonite was standing off to the side, Lucario and Alakazam flanking it.
"Kiara?"
Zorua seemed nervous, yet relieved.
"Yes?"
"Um...who was in your dream? You were seemed to be talking to someone, like they were giving you advice."
Should I tell them? Should I confirm their beliefs? Let them know I met with Arceus?
"Well...um...it was..."
Meloetta seemed to squint as I said this, then gasped.
"You...you met...with...Arceus! You are the Destined One!"
Well, there goes my choice. Might as well roll with it.
"Yeah, I met with Arceus, big deal, right?"
I wanted to change the subject, no use continuing on about my destiny.
"Oh my god, seriously! You met ARCEUS!"
Zorua and Bulbasaur's eyes were bulging and their mouths were hanging open.
"Yeah, I guess, it was only a dream though..."
"But that's how Arceus communicates, even with us!"
Meloetta seemed to be the most surprised. Probably because it knew Arceus the most.
"Okay, guys, it's amazing and all, but..."
"Amazing, are you kidding? This is incredible!"
I glared at Bulbasaur, causing it to immediately stop talking and hang it's head.
"As I was saying, now that we know that I am the Destined One for sure, we need to escape!
"I have modified the plan to accommodate our newest member."
I nodded gratefully towards Alakazam. At least someone was listening.
"Good, now, can we please focus on that!"
All the pokemon, some more reluctantly than others, nodded their heads.
"Now, let's get out of here!"
Well, there you go, now Arceus is on the scene, Kiara is now refocused, and they will now be focusing on escape. YEAH! Please give some feedback, through a review, favorite, or follow. To those who have, THANK YOU!
Zorua signing off.
