Requiem of the Fallen Dragon
Part 3: Tale of the Fallen Dragon
Chapter 81: Tale of Fairy and Cyborg
"You…love me?" Rucas asked.
"Yes." Fenrir said.
"…" Rucas gazed into Fenrir's eyes. The sharp eyes of the Jackal-like Pokemon pierced the Fox-like Pokemon's feeling. It is a cold-stare that froze her body…
"…I shouldn't let my guard down… I knew that my idea was right from the start… The darkness is truly evil…"
Rucas's word pierced Fenrir's heart and soul. It was like a sharp icicle that pierced her body… It hurt her heart and froze her soul. She had never felt this feeling before…
"W…What do you mean by that?" Fenrir couldn't control her voice. Her voice was shaken as she tried to say it out.
"…I let my guard down the whole time I was with you, Fenrir. You always play with my body, which I try not to be upset. And now… I just knew the truth… You broke my heart and soul completely. I had never thought that I would sink this low… You deceived me, Fenrir." Rucas answered with a cold voice.
"B…But!" Fenrir tried to speak again. "I truly love you! I still love you to the deepest of my heart until now! I knew that I used the woman you loved as my mask, which I regret…"
"If you truly love me, you wouldn't do something like that to me. Fenrir, if we aren't on a mission that required all Heroes/ine of Legend, I would not hesitate to vanquish the darkness that haunted my life for several years…" Rucas spoke.
"B…But..."
"No more word, Fenrir. Your word disgusted me so much." Rucas crossed his arms.
"!" Fenrir couldn't say anything more. She walked up to Rucas and touched his body, but Rucas quickly slapped her paw away.
"DO NOT TOUCH ME, YOU FILTY CREATURE!" Rucas roared.
Rucas's piercing word was like the hammer that destroyed the last wall of Fenrir's dam of tear. Fenrir kneeled down and started crying. She was never as sad as this. Getting rejected from the man she loved hurt her so much.
"…Fenrir, I hate you." Rucas spoke.
After the incident at the Gamma Headquarter, Sir Glade and Lady Garvoir decided to forgive Rucas for the crime he had committed, so everyone departed from the Gamma Headquarter with a heavy heart. When they finally reached the underground passage, Rucas urged to go to the Fairy Island, the island at the northwestern area of Gamma City in order to 'clean' his dirty soul as well as going to apologize to the residents of the Fairy Island for the Fairy Massacre he committed, with everyone forgave Rucas.
With all of that, the scar between the Hero/ine of Legend was finally healed, but the new scar appeared and acted like a strong wall between light and darkness…
"…"
Zira sat alone near a beautiful lake at the Fairy Village. Now everyone is resting in the Fairy Village, the village of the Fairy Island. Rucas focused his mind to a training to forget about his bad memory. Garland enjoyed beautiful scenery with Sharon. Nyxier slept under the tree with Tyrus. Hawkins and Iris played a beautiful melody that soothed everyone. Joshua, Ellisk, Magnus and Leonel were travelling around the Fairy Island. Fenrir disappeared for a certain reason. Anastasia and Baromyteus went back to Frostic's place ahead because Baromyteus hates fairy type Pokemon. And Kamui…
"…Can I sit with you, Zira?" Kamui appeared from behind Zira and asked her a question.
"Of course…" Zira spoke.
Kamui sat down and looked at Zira. She seemed to be down like before.
"…You still have something on your mind, right?" Kamui asked.
"…When all eight are present, the last will be born… That's the location of my melody, but 'all eight' must meant of all part of Requiem of the Fallen Dragon, yet I found my part. Maybe I was destined not to find my part…" Zira spoke with a sad voice.
"That's…" Kamui said.
"…Not only that… Our work had come this far, yet my Mark of Legend never appears… Maybe I am not the Heroine of Legend like others…" Zira said.
"…" Kamui said nothing.
"And now… Onii-chan and Senpai Fenrir… They…" Zira spoke before she couldn't speak any longer.
"…Zira… You worried too much… You should…relax more…" Kamui started saying.
"…I had to become stronger so I wouldn't be a burden to everyone. I had to be like a grownup, not a childish like I was." Zira said.
"…That won't do." Kamui said.
"What do you mean?" Zira looked at Kamui.
"You don't have to be that serious. You had proved that you are stronger than before… Especially your mind." Kamui said.
"My mind?" Zira said.
"At first, you were very afraid of me, but now, you could speak to me casually. That's the prove that you are stronger." Kamui said.
"..Really?"
"Of course! Plus, everyone will be sad when they saw you looked down. You were a sunshine of our group before. Without that, our group had become darken. Everyone likes you the way you were, include me. I love you the way you were." Kamui spoke before he realized that he accidently told Zira the last sentence.
"You… love me?" Zira spoke.
"W…Well… You were the little sister of my best friend… A…And I found that you are cute…" Kamui spoke. He is blushing very hard.
Suddenly, Zira started doing something she had never done for a long time. She laughed!
"Z..Zira? You laugh?!" Kamui said.
"Heehee! Thank you for cheering me up! Kamui!" Zira smile as bright as before and jumped onto Kamui's shoulder.
"Kamui, I also love you too!" Zira said.
"W…What?!" This time, Kamui couldn't hide his feeling. He was nearly faint from Zira's word and fell down, making Zira fell into the lake!
"Oh no! Zira!" Kamui shouted, but he couldn't help Zira because he couldn't swim!
Suddenly, Zira appeared from the lake, but she is not like before. She is not an Eevee, but she is now a Sylveon!
"Z…Zira?!" Kamui was shocked.
"Kamui… How is me now?" Zira asked as she walked on the water surface back to the shore.
"Y…You are very cute!" Kamui said.
"Heehee! It was because of your affection that allowed me to evolve. Thank you, Kamui…" Zira spoke and started singing a song…

"W…Wait! That song…" Kamui said.
"What?" Zira spoke before she realized that she sang a song without realizing!
"That must be the last part of Requiem of the Fallen Dragon! Zira! You did it!" Kamui said.
"Yay! We finally got all parts! Let's go and tell everyone!" Zira was about to walk away when Kamui noticed something.
"Zira… Your ribbon…"
"My ribbon? WHHATT?!" Zira spoke and shouted as she looked at her ribbon. There is something on her ribbon, something that all of her friends, but she didn't have… until now…
"The Mark of Legend!" Kamui said.
"M..My Mark of Legend… Finally appeared!" Zira spoke with glee.
"When all eight are present, the last will be born… So this is the meaning of your part. 'All eight' isn't all parts of Requiem of the Fallen Dragon, but is all of your Eeveelution form, and the last will be born, meant of the last Mark of Legend that will appear!" Kamui interpreted the meaning of the mystery.
"Heehee! Kamui! You are so sweat!" Zira spoke and wrapped her ribbon around Kamui's body, making Kamui blushed harder.
"Z..Zira! I…If Rucas found you and me like this…" Kamui said.
"No problem! I won't let Onii-chan to see this!" Zira said.
"…Then… It's fine." Kamui spoke and hugged Zira.
-Back to the Garden…
"...Congratulation on finding the whole song." Frostic spoke after Iris told him what happened.
"With this, we can fight the Fallen Dragon now, right?" Rucas asked impatiently.
"Not so soon, the Hero of Justice. You still have one more trial to complete before you can challenge the Fallen Dragon." Frostic spoke. His word shocked everyone.
"What?!" Everyone said.
"Didn't we train hard enough?" Joshua asked.
"…You all had passed several obstacles and trials. It toughened both of your body and mind. However, you still have one more obstacle to pass. If you can past this obstacle, you will be able to challenge the Fallen Dragon." Frostic said.
"And what could that be?" Leonel asked.
"…The final obstacle lied within the head of all of you. Although all of you pushed forward, something within your head tried to pull you back. If you could let it go, you will be freed from everything." Frostic said.
"Something in our head… That we held on?" Ellisk spoke.
"Correct." Frostic said.
"And what is that thing? What is the thing in our head that we held on?" Magnus asked.
"…It is your memory, young heroes/ines." Frostic answered.
To Be Continued…
Dragon of Vale: We completed the tenth dungeon and got the last two parts of the song, and Zira is back to herself before…. And we have a fracture between light and darkness.
The next chapter will be the last chapter of Iris's Tale. And after that… The chapter of the 11th dungeon. (Yes… the 11th dungeon came so soon!)
