Welcome! And I've got an announcement.
The Ember Rule!
If anyone here reads the work of Neonzangetsu then you are familiar with this convenient rule. If not then I'll explain it to you.
I will write a story and if it gets a good reception and reviews then I will continue, If not then it'll be left to the depths forgotten as its embers go out(Fitting).
So now I'll be writing many more stories than I haven't before.
Like Madara in Skyrim, Doom Slayer in Demon Slayer, And even Discord in Harry Potter and An OC in Hogwarts legacy Harry Potter!
And now I take requests so do any Ideas you want to see written by me? Well just message me and I'll see to it.
But a few rules about that are the following: Be original If you want to see a parody of another story Message me so i can message them.
So I welcome you to the first of the Ember Rule, Miraculous: The Lion of Pride!
The Birds cried out overhead as they flew over the ancient ruined compounds.
The ruins of the once-great Temple shone in the sun As if they were the bones of old gods and nature had only grown its divine aspects.
In the center of the main courtyard, Surrounded by the temple, was a circular marking.
The upper right depicted a Pink glowing Creature with wings and a divine nature, it held its hands out with a paw symbol in one and a ladybug in the other.
On the Upper left was a Glowing Serpent with each color of the rainbow in its scales, It towered over the land and yet a strange symbol of what could only be depicted as a symbol for a king was present.
The lower left was covered in scratches but showed a Trio of Dragons, A Pair of Purple dragons, One breathing fire the other lightning bound together by a chain, Fighting against what appeared to be a Towering dragon of Terror and malice. Surrounding them was many other dragons.
The lower right showed a Lion standing in the center of the Sun as it roared at the darkness.
But the center of the marking was untouched by both nature and time.
In the center sat a boy kneeling before his master, His father, who held what appeared to be a type of ink. His back faced his father and his father looked at him with concern.
"Are you sure my son? There is no going back after you accept the burden of the lion," He questioned. "The Lion is No mere kwamii, The Lion is a symbol of Pride and power and represents the best qualities in humanity, Much Like Gimmi and Yurlunggur there is only One Lion,"
"Yes father I am sure," The son thought for a second before inhaling and thinking. "The miraculous of China are in Paris, it is Imperative that Gimmi is returned home to China," He added.
"Whilst true, Ladybug and Cat Noir are doing quite well themselves, They have vanquished Hawkmoth, Scarlet moth, and so much more. Because of Ladybug, the guardians have returned to the world of the living, they can handle this," Father responded downcast without much belief that his argument would hold weight.
The son scoffed, "Ladybug has become the new guardian of the China Miraculous box. Her immaturity will keep her from going to China, and worse yet her connection to her homeland will keep her in Paris rather than returning Gimmi to her homeland," The son scowled.
"I see, son," The father sighed as he started to Tattoo the Ink into his son's back, "The mark of the Lion is a heavy burden, It is the Alpha of the West and has seen many users. Escanor the Lion, David the King, Atilla the Hun. All Felt pain in their life from this Symbol. They did great things, Terrible but Great," He continued to make out a marking with each word spoken as the ink bled like water into his skin, " The Lion is one of the four most powerful creatures across the realms, Gimmi Kwami of Wishes born from the unity of Destruction and creation, Yurlunggur the Kwami of Dreams and Reality, The Dragon Clan wielding Magic unknown, And finally Sol the Symbol of the Sun and Humanity," The form of a Lion's roaring head began to form on the sons back, "The Heroes of the past find you worthy of Sunshine and see that your intent is pure and Righteous, Go forth my Son, Go forth Zander Pendragon!" The father finished his chant as the roar of a lion reached its apex and his son stood.
(Timeskip)
The sun rose over Paris, And a Plane flew with the mark of a famous sword on its side. A Zander looked over Paris and then back to his tablet, on it was the news regarding Ladybug and Cat Noir's trip to New York and the reveal of the eagle's miraculous of Freedom had only furthered his belief in their Irresponsibility.
The Shadows had informed them of the temporary death caused by Cat Noir's miraculous, Then the repair by Ladybug's own. The Miraculous of the Ladybug(Which was sometimes joked to be the Miraculous of Luck instead of Creation) had played a great part in the acceptance of Paris.
In need of information when they first appeared a group of spies called the Shadows were deployed inside of Paris to discover the identities of Ladybug and Cat Noir. The Shadows were specially trained to recognize miraculous traces and see-through secret identities.
Already the Shadows had narrowed down the possible candidates for the two heroes' identities.
It was simple really. Only one group of schoolchildren had traveled to New York that week. A school group taught by a teacher called Miss Bustier had a strangely high rate of akumitization. Yet two were never touched.
Adrien Agreste the son of the suspected Hawkmoth is the most likely to be Cat Noir. Based on Hair Color, Style, Body type, interesting quotes and the lessons he was taught in the past that match his fighting style, Along with the sudden influx of cheese ordered after Cat Noir appeared at the Agrest mansion is very telling. Two times however has a time influx been detected with Adrien's own signature being detected, With a hint of Akumitization.
The other is Marrinete Dupain-Cheng, The suspected Ladybug. Hair Color, Hair Style, body Type, and the general direction when leaving after using up her five minutes. The sudden confidence displayed and security footage cleaned from the Agreste security footage during Bubbler's first appearance. And the fact she had never been akumitized.
There were of course other suspects, Such as the young adult Rei with similar hair color and height. But unlike both Cat Noir and Ladybug she was present in Paris during the New York incident.
All the evidence pointed towards these two teenagers being the wielders of the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous.
Other important evidence included the Bunny Miraculous's user hopping throughout time. Another was the interesting comparison to a love story between the two users, as per usual when opposing or sometimes even the same gender wielders of the two meet. The will to become whole within Gimmi affects them on a small level.
Unfortunately, that was all that the Shadows were able to report.
Zander sat and mused to himself. Sol floated up in front of him in the form of a Golden Lion wreathed in divine flames around his head like a Certain Sun god.
"So what's going to happen?" Sol questioned as he munched on a bit of jerky.
"I think that it's time for school," Zander grinned.
