Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 55: PoLIS; You are free…
-Anna and King Baron's route
Anna and King Baron are walking along a dark path. They do not talk with each other because of some reasons…
King Baron looks at Anna. For some reasons… Every time that he looks at her, his heart feels uncomfortable… It is like that looking at her burned his heart and soul…
Although that he had met her for such a short time, but he feels like that he is very close to her… But…
King Baron sighs. He knows the feeling inside his heart…
He loves her…
But… He couldn't even say that he loves her… He doesn't know if she loves him or not… But… Anna already has a lover… And now her lover had gone… King Baron knows that the love of the dragon will last even longer than the age of the universe unless the love is broken by either the male or female. But he knows that Anna will never break her bond between herself and Baron…
But… what to do? The love that he has for her is burning within himself. He couldn't stand against it anymore… So…
"…Anna." King Baron says.
"Hm? What's wrong, Baron?" Anna asks.
"…What do.. you think about me?" King Baron asks.
"What? Well… At first… you are… selfless brave and doesn't afraid of anything, include me when I acted aggressive toward you, but you also show your soft side too. You are a kind dragon, a brave warrior and an excellent king." Anna says.
"W..Well.. Thank you." King Baron says.
"Then, it is your turn now…" Anna says.
"What?" King Baron looks at Anna.
"What do you think about me?" Anna asks.
'WWWWWHHHHHHAAATTT!' King Baron's heart is beating faster. He calms himself down and answers her question.
"You are brave, prideful and always shows your strong side, but you also have a personality of kind, mothering and also cute and beautiful…" King Baron says before he realizes that last two words that he uses to describe Anna.
"Cute? Beautiful?" Anna says.
"…. Anna… I know that you will hate me for saying this… But I couldn't hold it back…" King Baron says and looks at Anna.
"… I love you." King Baron says.
Everything becomes silent for a short time, but for king Baron, it is longer than the age of himself…
"… King Baron… You are… stupid." Anna says.
King Baron looks at Anna, who is turning her face away from King Baron.
"I… I love you too." Anna says before she starts crying!
"Anna?" Baron says and holds Anna's body.
"I… I am such a bad female dragon! I already have a lover, but I still fall in love with you…" Anna says and cries.
"Anna…" King Baron says.
"King Baron, I sometimes wished that I will never meet you, so I will not fall into this feeling… But… Why?!" Anna says.
"Anna…" King Baron says.
"King Baron… Please… Don't say it again… Don't say that you love me again… Or my heart will break…" Anna says.
"… Anna… I am sorry…" King Baron says.
But then, after King Baron finishes talking, a dark cloud surrounds Anna and King Baron, and then Anna falls unconscious!
"Anna!" King Baron says and tries to wake Anna, but it is no use…
"Hm! Such a pathetic Dragonking…"
A voice comes from somewhere, before the owner of the voice appears…
King Baron looks at the Pokemon in front of him… It is like that he is looking into the mirror. The Pokemon in front of him is a Shiny Haxorus like him. Everything about him is the same as King Baron, but he has so many scars on his skin. He is wielding a double-edge sword with his right hand and a shield with his left hand.
"Who are you?" King Baron asks.
"You have no need to know my name." The mysterious Shiny Haxorus says.
"What do you want from me?" King Baron asks.
"… I come here to take her." The mysterious Shiny Haxorus says and points his sword to Anna's body.
"What?! Why do you need her?!" King Baron says.
"You have no need to know it, idiot!" The mysterious Shiny Haxorus roars.
"I won't let you do it!" King Baron roars.
"You dare to fight me?" The mysterious Shiny Haxorus asks.
"Of course!" King Baron says.
"Pathetic…" The mysterious Shiny Haxorus says and points his sword at King Baron, and the battle ensues!
After a long fight, both Haxorus becomes very tired. The end of the battle seems hopeless… It is like the fight with their reflection in the mirror, because both of them have the equivalent battle skill.
"…That's enough." The mysterious Shiny Haxorus says and puts away his weapons.
"What?" King Baron says.
"I see that you are strong enough… to protect Anna." The mysterious Shiny Haxorus says.
"W…What do you mean by that?!" King Baron asks.
"Sorry for testing you. I am the Shiny Haxorus who was living in the world and the lover of Anna, Baron the Shiny Haxorus." The mysterious Shiny Haxorus says.
King Baron stares at Baron unbelievably. In front of him is the one that Anna loves to the deepest part of her heart!
"You heard my story from Anna, right? Yes, I love her too, but we can not be together…" Baron says and looks at Anna with a sad face.
"… Now our god allows me to come here, but only for a while before I have to return to nothing. I came here and saw her falling into a frustrating because she loves the other dragon, but she still holds a love for me…" Baron says.
"T…Then…" King Baron says.
"So I put her into a sleep and tested you. Now I realize that you are strong enough to protect her… So…" Baron says and looks at King Baron with a determination eyes before says…
"Can you promise me that you will keep her happy for eternity?"
"What?!" King Baron says.
"I will leave Anna to you. So I want you to promise me that you will make her happy." Baron says.
"… I will. With my honor of the Dragonking, I promise that I will make her happy." King Baron says.
Baron smiles, before he looks at Anna.
"Now I have finished a business with you, so the rest is… Farewell, King Baron." Baron says and disappears…
-Anna's Dream
Anna is walking alone in a dark road. The road seems endless…
But then, someone appears in front of her. Anna quickly recognizes him.
"Baron!" Anna says the name of her lover.
"Anna… I am… so happy to see you again…" Baron says, and then Anna hugs him.
"It is not a dream, isn't it?" Anna says.
"… No… This is just an illusion… But it is the real illusion…" Baron says.
Anna looks at her lover again. She understands it…
"Anna, I saw you with other Shiny Haxorus…" Baron says.
"I…" Anna says.
"You LOVE him, right?" Baron says.
"What?!" Anna says.
"Don't lie to me, Anna." Baron says.
"…" Ann says nothing.
"… Anna, I saw you love him, but you couldn't even say that you love him because of me, right?" Baron says.
"I…" Anna says.
"I hate to see you sad by still love the one who now is just an illusion… And… my time is almost out… So… Anna…" Baron says and looks into Anna's eyes, before saying…
"Anna… You made me so happy… Thank you for everything…" Baron says before his body is starting to fade away!
"No! Baron! Please don't leave me alone again!" Anna says.
"Anna… I am such a bad dragon… I love you but I could not stay with you… So… Thank you so much for all the happiness you had given me… Please… Let go the chains that bind your heart… I release you… Give your love to the one who now dwell within your heart… Love him.. As you love me… " Baron says and hugs Anna for the last time.
"I love you… And now… Anna… You… Are… Free…" Baron says and is completely disappeared.
"BARON!" Anna says before she collapses on the floor.
-Back to the reality.
Anna wakes up, she is in King Baron's embrace.
"Anna… You finally wake up… I am so happy…" King Baron says.
"King Baron…" Anna says and hugs him.
"King Baron… I… love you." Anna says.
"Yes… I love you too." King Baron says.
"My lover… he…" Anna says.
"No need to tell me, Anna, he told me everything already…" King Baron says.
"King Baron…" Anna says.
After that, a portal appears in front of them, after they pass through it, they find themselves back to the main hall of the Palace of Legend Inner Sanctum. The sealed door is unlocked again, but still not all of it. King Baron and Anna reunite with Diasol and Yterval, who shares their story with them and vice versa. And they talk about their friends, who still face their trial…
To Be Continue…
Pokedragon: So… Now the love of Anna and King Baron is possible…
LD: Hm… Release from the love… Such a stupid thing.
Pokedragon: Shut up, LD.
