Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 56: PoLIS; Empty Shell
-Xynnia and Frostic's trial
Xynnia and Frostic are standing in the middle of the flower garden. But this is not an ordinary flower garden, because every flower, tree, grass and even the ground and the sky are in the tone of Black-Gray-White.
"This garden…" Xynnia says.
"… It is… beautiful…" Frostic says.
"Beautiful?" Xynnia looks at Frostic.
"Of course… Most Pokemon say that the colorful things are beautiful, but for me, the black-gray-white thing like this is my favorite…" Frostic says.
"… You like it?" Xynnia asks.
"Of course…" Frostic says.
"… Then… Your life… it must be… colorless…" Xynnia says.
"Hm? Well… Maybe yes… But I prefer this live…" Frostic says.
"You like to live alone?" Xynnia asks.
"Of course, because… everyone who lives with me… Their life will always end… with my claw and fang." Frostic says.
Xynnia looks at Frostic with her gentle eyes. Unlike other Pokemon, she does not afraid of Frostic. She knows that Frostic had suffered so much, even much more than herself, so she decides that she will try to help him as much as she can…
"… Frostic." Xynnia says.
"Hm?" Frostic looks at Xynnia.
"…Can you hold me in your arm and let me stay closer to your body?" Xynnia asks.
"You will get cold if you stay with me." Frostic says, but he still lets Xynnia to embrace him. Xynnia places her head on Frostic's chest, trying to listen to the sound of his heartbeat… But what she heard… is nothing…
"You really have no heart…" Xynnia says.
"… It is normal for the empty shell…" Frostic says.
"No, you are different. You are kind… Even kinder than someone who possessed the heart…" Xynnia says.
Frostic says nothing.
"… Frostic… Do you have any sibling?" Xynnia asks.
"Me? Well… I have two siblings, one is a Reshiram, and another is a Zekrom. But now, after talking with both of them, they agreed to lend me their strength in defeating the god…" Frostic says.
"Do you share a close bond with them?" Xynnia asks.
"Of course not. Reshiram and Zekrom are very close to each other, but not me. I am the leftover of their birth and the corpse of the Dragon God…" Frostic says.
"…So… It seems like that you don't trust anyone…" Xynnia says.
"How can an empty shell like I trust anyone? I exist to be the puppet of the god. I am not truly exist!" Frostic roars.
"No! Frostic! Snap it out!" Xynnia says.
"Xynnia, don't stay with me for a long time. After the battle with the god end, we will part, never be able to see each other again. So if we become closer than this, when we apart, we will hurt even more…" Frostic says.
"Frostic, the one who is hurted is you. I know your feeling and you know mine, still, you say something like that." Xynnia says.
"It is our destiny. We must accept this. Soon, you will be the successor of the ruler of the whole Afterlife from Zygarde, and I will continue serving the Dragon God. Our tribe despite each other, so what can we do to change our fate?" Frostic asks.
Xynnia stops talking. She is the princess of the Lumina and the heir to the next ruler of the Afterlife. And Frostic was the great Dragonking and the corpse of the Dragon God. Xynnia was born in the fairy tribe while Frostic was born in the dragon tribe. The fairy tribe and the dragon tribe are well-known for their rivalry. Because of all of this, the chance of Xynnia and Frostic's love will success is very slim… Or maybe it is zero…
Suddenly, Frostic's hand gently touches Xynnia's hoove. Xynnia looks at Frostic and realizes that Frostic's face is red.
"Um… Xynnia…" Frostic says.
"Hm? Frostic?" Xynnia asks. Her face is red too.
"I… love you." Frostic says.
"Frostic… I love you too…" Xynnia says and hugs Frostic.
"The word from my mouth means nothing, Xynnia. Because I am just an empty shell…" Frostic says.
"…" Xynnia says nothing.
"But… Being with you… made my heart warm…" Frostic says.
Xynnia looks at Frostic with a surprise face. She realizes that her love is melting Frostic's frozen heart!
"Frostic! Your emotion gradually returns!" Xynnia cries.
"Xynnia…" Frostic says.
"But… It is too bad that we will not have a chance to say it again…" Xynnia says.
"…" Frostic says nothing.
"…Frostic…" Xynnia says and gives something to Frostic. It is her royal ring.
"Keep it. Although we will part soon, but our heart and soul will never apart because I have your dragon ring and you have my royal ring." Xynnia says.
"…" Frostic says nothing. But then, two dragons appear from nowhere and stand before their eyes!
"Frostic! What have you done?!" The black dragon asks.
"You ruined our culture! We must not associate with the fairy!" The white dragon says.
Frostic looks at his sibling. The black dragon is Zekrom, and the white dragon is Reshiram.
"Don't say something like that, my sibling. You have no right to comment on the thing that I do." Frostic answers his sibling.
"So… You are ready to abandon our kind and the Dragon God… right?" Reshiram asks.
"…" Frostic doesn't answer the question.
"You are the worst dragon in the world…" Zekrom says. But then, everyone becomes shock because Xynnia suddenly roars out.
"ENOUGH! I WON'T LET YOU INSULT FROSTIC ANYMORE!" Xynnia roars before releasing a Moonblast to Reshiram and Zekrom!
"RRRRRR" Reshiram and Zekrom roar in pain before reversing into their stone form.
"…" Frostic says nothing and puts away his sibling's stones and turns his attention to Xynnia.
"I am sorry, Frostic. Hearing them insulting you made me have to unleash my power…" Xynnia says.
"Xynnia, there is something that I must tell you. It is my decision." Frostic says and whispers something to Xynnia. His word shocks Xynnia very much!
"What?! Frostic?! No! You can't do that! It is too much!" Xynnia says.
"I have decided it… Nothing will change it." Frostic says.
"…" Xynnia says nothing and hugs Frostic.
