Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 37: Day I; My Life As the Dragonqueen
Pokedragon: Well… The story of Link and his friends are in the Day IV where they need to find three more pieces of the Mirror of Nightmare. But we will stop the story of them for now, let's move to the story of the other character. Okay, back to Day I!
Far… Far away from Hyrule… Far away from Irtha… Far away from every place in the world… In the middle of time and space, there is a lonely kingdom located there… It is the kingdom of the dragon type Pokemon, the Kingdom of the Dragonking. This kingdom is blessed by the god of dragon type Pokemon… He laid the curse on this kingdom… Those who enter this kingdom, unless they are the dragon type Pokemon, will have only three days to live in this blessed kingdom. If three days had passed, and they still here, the curse will kill them. Once upon a time… This kingdom is located in the world, like the other land… But one day, the dragon type Pokemon invaded other land and tried to get rid of the god, Arceus, because the dragon god is the god's greatest enemy… The god decided to judgment this kingdom by sending it into the place between time and space… The only way to get into or get out of this kingdom is to use the warp portal that located around the kingdom…
Once the Dragon God established the Kingdom of the Dragonking, he became the first king who rules over his kingdom, known as the Dragonking I. After the age of his reign, other dragon type Pokemon became the king or queen of this kingdom… The current ruler of this kingdom is the Dragonqueen XV.
Before she became the Dragonqueen, the Kingdom of the Dragonking had fallen into ruins because other Pokemon invaded this land. So the Dragonqueen XV is trying very hard to restore her kingdom to the formal glory…
However, the road of the Dragonqueen isn't easy…
Many obstacles always get in her way…
-At the Kingdom of the Dragonking; Palace of the Dragonking
Today there is an important meeting of the great commanders of the Kingdom of the Dragonking about the restoration of the Kingdom of the Dragonking. The meeting is very long and full with quarrelling because the dragon type Pokemon is prideful and aren't easy to accept the other's idea.
After the meeting, most commanders of the Kingdom of the Dragonking leave the room and go back to their position, leaving only three dragons in the room.
"Whew!" The dragon who is sitting on the chair of the head of the meeting mumbles and whips her sweat. She is the Dragonqueen XV, the current ruler of the Kingdom of the Dragonking.
"Dragonqueen! Are you alright?" The female dragon that looks like a red plane asks.
"Are you alright, Dragonqueen?" The male dragon that looks like a blue plane asks.
"… Yes. I am fine… I am just… a little tired…" Dragonqueen XV says in a weak voice.
"But you aren't looking alright!" The red-plane Pokemon says.
"Looking alright, you aren't!" The blue-plane Pokemon says.
"I say I am fine! But… Thank you for worry about me, Latios, Latias." Dragonqueen XV says and looks at her advisors, Latias the red plane dragon and Latios the blue plane Pokemon.
"I think that you should get some sleep!" Latias says.
"You should get some sleep, I think!" Latios says.
Dragonqueen XV looks at Latios and Latias. Both of them remind her of the Dragonking XIV and Dragonqueen XIV. (The age of the Dragonking/queen XV had two rulers.") Dragonking XIV is a Latios and the Dragonqueen XIV is a Latias. She once served them as their advisor and their most trust warrior. But the Dragonking XIV and Dragonqueen XIV sacrificed themselves to protect everyone from the attack of the non-dragon Pokemon who turned the Kingdom of the Dragonking into ruins. Now both of them are gone. And her current advisors, they are very nice, but they always speak in the same sentence but with the difference in order. It is a thing that annoys someone in the kingdom, but not for her. She also trusts both of them with her entire heart.
"I can't, my friends. I have a lot of work to do as the Dragonqueen." Dragonqueen XV says.
"But…" Latios and Latias are trying to say something, but then, they hear the sound of the knocking door.
"Knock! Knock!"
"Hm?" Dragonqueen XV says and looks at the door. Who want to visit her at a time like this?
Without waiting for the answer, the knocker of the door opens the door and walks into the room.
"Sorry for entering the room without your permission, Anna." The Pokemon who had just entered the room says and looks at the Dragonqueen XV.
"I… Iris?!" Dragonqueen XV, who is a Goodra named Anna, says.
"Hi! Long time no see." Iris the Mewtwo greets.
"Oh! Look like we have a guess!" Latias says.
"We have a guess, it seems like." Latios says.
"We will prepare a beverage for you, just wait for us here." Latias says.
"Just wait for us here, we will prepare a beverage for you." Latios says.
After finish saying, Latios and Latias leave the room, leaving only Anna and Iris in the room.
"Anna, you look… tired. I guess that the work as the Dragonqueen is not easy…" Iris says.
"Yes… So many problems to deal with… So many works to do… So many things…" Anna says and signs.
"Hm… That is bad, isn't it?" Iris says.
"… Iris, what brought you to this place? I think that only a very important thing that you have with me could bring you to this place…" Anna says.
"As sharp as ever, Anna. The reason that brought me to this place is…" Iris says before she starts telling Anna about the thing that happened in Irtha, about the Hero of Time, Sacred Children, the meeting with the god, the disappearance of the living creatures in Irtha, and the Mirror of Nightmare.
"… So…" Anna says.
"First, I am worried about you so I came here to warn you about this." Iris says.
"Thank you for your worry, but do not worry about it. Our kingdom is blessed by the dragon god, not by Arceus, so we will have nothing to worry about this." Anna says.
"I see… Well… Let's move to the main topic. The only thing that can stop the god from this apocalypse is the Mirror of Nightmare, which had been shattered into eight pieces. Now Hero of Time had two of them and they are travelling to search for the third and the fourth. I have one with me…" Iris says and shows a piece of the Mirror of Nightmare to Iris.
"…So Mysterious…" Anna says.
"I am planning to give it to Hero of Time once I have a chance to meet him. So the rest is the last three pieces of the Mirror of Nightmare. After I searched for several hours, I discovered that the sixth piece of the Mirror of Nightmare is located in the kingdom that is blessed by the dragon god." Iris says.
"…" Anna says nothing.
"So, Anna, I want you to help me searching for that piece of the Mirror of Nightmare." Iris says.
"… Iris, you know this, the Kingdom of the Dragonking are not relevant to any place in the world, so we will not lend any help to anyone in the world unless the emergency." Anna says. Her word shocks Iris.
"Anna! What had gotten into you?!" Iris asks.
"I am sorry, Iris. In the depth of my heart, I want to help you. But since the Kingdom of the Dragonking suffered from the attack of the non-dragon type Pokemon, the dragon type Pokemon vow to not to lend any help to anyone who isn't the dragon type Pokemon." Anna says.
"Well… I understand your feeling, but this is very important! At least you should search for the piece of the Mirror of Nightmare in your kingdom!" Iris says.
"… Do you have any more clue about its location?" Anna asks.
"Yes…" Iris says and opens her notebook and starts reading it.
The sixth piece of Mirror of Nightmare is under the protection of the blessed kingdom of the dragon god… It is the blessed land of those who are the dragon type Pokemon, but the hell for us the non-dragon Pokemon… I believe that the lost king of that kingdom is guarding it…
"…" Anna says nothing after Iris finishes reading it.
"What do you think?" Iris asks.
"… Iris, you are lucky…" Anna says.
"Lucky?" Iris looks at Anna.
"The lost king… I am investigating about him…" Anna says.
