Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 22: Angel and Demon
-Nighttime, at Hyrule Castle, Secret Garden.
Diasol, Iris and Zelda are looking after Princess Xynnia, who is still staying unconscious.
"When will she regain her consciousness?" Diasol asks.
"Not after the sunrise tomorrow." Iris replies.
Zelda is looking at the Stone Tablet that Link found in Royal Family Tomb. She had been trying to solve the puzzle for several days, but she still have no clue about it.
"… Zelda, you should go to bed. You had gone to bed late for several days." Iris and Diasol say.
"It's fine…" Zelda says.
"No… If you have not enough sleep, you will end up being a forever sleeping-princess." Iris says.
"Okay, good night." Zelda says and walks back to the castle area.
"So, Princess Diasol, how about them?" Iris asks. She is asking about Link, Rucas, Navi and Yterval.
"They? They were training in the Hyrule Field today. I think that they are staying at the inn in the town now…" Diasol says.
"Then, Diasol, can I ask you for something?" Iris says.
"What?" Diasol says.
"I need to go back to my place now since I need to gather my ancient scrolls… It may be a good help for solving the puzzle of that stone tablet. But because I have so many books about it, I may be able to come back here tomorrow. So, can I leave Princess Xynnia to you for tonight?" Iris asks.
"Sure! I shall guard her with my life!" Diasol says.
"May the god bless you." Iris says before she disappears.
Diasol moves to Xynnia's side. She looks at her sister. Xynnia had been sleeping for many days now, and she will wake up soon…
"Yawn…" Diasol yawns. Before Iris left, she is very energetic, but after she left, she feels so sleepy…
"What happen to me? Yawn….Z…Z…ZZZ…" Diasol mumbles before she quickly falls into a deep sleep.
After Diasol falls into a deep sleep, someone appears…
"Hm! Finally! I have been waiting for that Mewtwo to leave this place in order to make my sleeping spell work!" Mysterious Demon says.
Mysterious Demon enters the secret room in the Secret Garden. He is looking around the room. Princess Diasol had fallen into a sleep due to his sleep spell, and Princess Xynnia is still sleeping.
"Hm! My master ordered me to find those things. I failed to find it at Lost Undersea City, Mysterious Mansion and this place. Now it is the time for me to search for it again." Mysterious Demon says before he starts searching for something…
Finally, he found a necklace with a locket near the Stone Tablet. This necklace is the one that Zelda always have with her, but before she left this room, she left it near the stone tablet.
"Finally…" Mysterious Demon mumbles and looks at the locket.
But then…
"Ar….Where…am…I?"
Mysterious Demon looks at the source of the voice and realizes that he isn't the only one in this room that still have their own conscious…
In front of him is a very beautiful princess who had been slept for several days, Princess Xynnia the Xerneas.
"Where am I?' Xynnia says and looks around the room. She doesn't notice the sleeping Diasol, but she notices the Mysterious Demon. She becomes frightened when she sees him.
"D…Demon?!" Xynnia says with her frightened voice.
"… Yes. I am the Mysterious Demon." Mysterious Demon says. He is still holding Zelda's necklace, but his eyes are looking at Xynnia.
"…Your tribe fought with people in Lumina… I assume that you had your victory over my land, and I am present here as a hostage, right?" Xynnia says.
Mysterious Demon says nothing and looking at Xynnia.
"I don't care what do you want to do with me, but please, don't hurt my citizens. Their lives are more worth than mine…" Xynnia says.
"…. Angel from Lumina, you have your guess wrong. I am not same demon who invaded your land of Lumina. You didn't get captured by those demons." Mysterious Demon says.
"Then, you are the one who rescued me?" Xynnia asks.
"Of course not, because I am the demon, not the angel. If you desire to seek the one who rescued you…" Mysterious Demon says and looks at the sleeping body of Princess Diasol.
"Diasol?!" Xynnia says.
"Thank her." Mysterious Demon says.
"… What happen to the Lumina?" Xynnia asks.
"Don't ask me. I am here because I am trying to steal something from your friends…" Mysterious Demon says and shows Xynnia the necklace. "… But since you had seen me, I will not take it…" Mysterious Demon says and places the necklace near the Stone Tablet.
"I shall leave this place now…" Mysterious Demon says.
"… Mysterious Demon, can I ask you something?" Xynnia says.
"Hm?" Mysterious Demon says.
"Who… are you?" Xynnia says.
"… I am the demon who serves the god." Mysterious Demon says.
"No… The thing that I want to know is what is your true face." Xynnia says.
Mysterious Demon turns his attention to Xynnia again. Because he is wearing a mask, so no one can see his true face.
Mysterious Demon says nothing and… removes his mask.
Upon seeing the true face of a demon, Xynnia's face turns frighten.
"Do not fear me, angel. The one that should fall into a fear is me… I am a demon, so I should be afraid of the angel…" Mysterious Demon says and puts on his mask again.
"I am sure that we shall meet again, angel. And… just forget everything about me…" Mysterious Demon says before he disappears.
After Mysterious Demon disappears, Diasol wakes up.
"How did I fall asleep?!" Diasol mumbles before she notices that her sister have finally woken up.
"Xynnia!" Diasol says and rushes up to her sister, and then she hugs her sister.
"Diasol!" Xynnia says.
"Oh! My dear sister… You had been sleeping for several days! I was worried about you very much! I am glad that you finally wake up!" Diasol says.
"Diasol, what happen to Lumina after we left?" Xynnia asks.
"Don't ask about it now, dear sister. This is near the morning now. Let's wait until everyone comes here." Diasol says.
"Everyone?" Xynnia says.
"Our new friends that assist us after we left the Lumina." Diasol replies.

Pokedragon: Fine.
