Requiem of the Fallen Dragon
Part 0: Iris's Tale
Chapter 82: Unbound
He is already dead…
This is not a lie… Ravenoir is already dead…
I saw him jumped down from the tower, disappeared while falling from the tower…
Although he is already dead, my love will go on…
I will keep our love within my heart…forever…
Until…
Several years after our last mission, all of other fellow Heroes/ines of Legend got married, even Anna finally found a new love…
What about me?
That night…
I was looking at the star… thinking of my precious memory…
The memory of him…
Suddenly, I saw a shooting star! I immediately closed my eyes and made a wish, even though my wish is very childish and will never come true…
A wish to see Ravenoir again.
When I finished praying, I looked at the star again…
"…Iris…"
A familiar voice called me from behind… I was very shocked… Because it is the voice that I couldn't never hear it again…
I turned back and saw Ravenoir stood behind me. He looked at me with a pale face. But he has a faint smile… His cloth… is the same cloth he wore the day he died…
"R…Ravenoir! Oh! Ravenoir!"
I ran up to Ravenoir, trying to hug him, but I couldn't… I passed through his body, like I passed through a mist…
"Ravenoir…"I looked at him again, and he looked at me…
"Iris… Why are you so sad? I don't like seeing you sad…" Ravenoir spoke, with a clear voice.
"Ravenoir… Are you real? Or is this just an illusion?" I asked.
"…This is not an illusion, but this is not real… Soon… I must depart from you…" Ravenoir spoke.
"N…No! Ravenoir! Please! Don't leave me alone!" I cried.
"…Iris, please stop crying… It is not worth crying for a dead Pokemon like me…" Ravenoir said.
"It is because I love you! I couldn't live without you!" I said.
"…Iris I knew is not weak like this. I am already dead, but you are still alive… You must live… for my time I couldn't spend…" Ravenoir spoke.
"Ravenoir…" I said and looked at him.
"Iris… Please unbound your love for me… And gave your love to someone else… Holding a memory of the past will only drag you down… You must discard it and moved to the future…" Ravenoir said, and his body started fading…
"Ravenoir!" I cried and tried to reach my hand to him.
"Iris… Farewell… Please… Use your life in the part of me… And…Thank you for everything…Iris…" Ravenoir spoke and then he faded away!
"Ravenoir…" I looked into the space where he was, but now, he is already gone…
And then…
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Someone knocked the door of my room, I gave the permission, and then he entered…
"Mother, I heard you was talking to someone, who is that?" A Pokemon who had just entered the room asked. He is a small Lugia. He has a cute Espurr doll with him too.
"It's nothing. I just… thinking of the past." I answered.
"Then, I will go to sleep. Cathy didn't like to stay late in the night. Good night, mother." The Lugia was about to leave the room when I call him.
"Hold on."
"Do you have something, mother?" The Lugia looked at me again.
"…From now on, please stop calling me 'mother' because I am not your mother." I said.
"B..But I always respect you as my mother!" The Lugia said.
"Your mother was the glorious Heroine of Wind. It would be bad if you call me your mother instead of Winsol the Lugia. Understand?" I said.
"…I will try, Archsage Iris." Lugia said.
"Then, good night. Sleep well, Prince Hawkins." I said as he left my room.
