THE BLUE SPIRIT
CHAPTER 002 – THE VISION
"And that's how it's done!" remarked a brunette girl as she had her pokemon finish showing off their new contest moves to their friends.
Said friends were pretty impressed with what they just saw and one of the three spoke up first. "Wow, that was amazing May. The way you put those moves together, it made such a dazzling display. Where'd you get that idea from and how long till you made it perfect?" she asked May, voicing what was on the minds of the other two.
Returning her pokemon and then turning towards her blue haired friend, May smiled before answering her. "Thanks Dawn. Well, it took me about two weeks to get it down right with the timing and how much power to use. And how I got the idea…well, honestly it was by chance."
"By chance? What do you mean?" asked Dawn, titling her head slightly before looking at the other two in their group. One with long salmon colored hair started smirking while the other with short red hair looked curious.
Reddening slightly and looking off to the side, May didn't know how to say it but tried regardless while tapping the ends of her index fingers together. "Well…it crossed my mind by accident while…I was in a…um…"
"She thought up of the move while having another bottomless pit challenge with Ash during your guys' last group get together at his house," remarked the one with the salmon colored hair with a large grin on her face.
"Soledad!" shouted May in embarrassment as she glared at the older one of the group but it was too late as the other two started laughing while Soledad had a shit eating grin on her face.
"Pfft! Hahaha! Are you serious?! Hahahaha!" Dawn couldn't help it, laughing loudly while holding her stomach.
"Hahahaha! Of course its food that gives you an idea!" remarked the redhead as she leaned against Soledad while laughing hysterically.
May pouted as her cheeks flushed red before crossing her arms and turned away from the three. "You're all so mean!" snapped the brunette while they kept laughing.
They continued for a bit until the redhead calmed down enough to notice the brunette's pouty expression. "Oh c'mon, don't be such a killjoy."
"I'm not a killjoy Zoey!" snapped May as she glared back at her.
"My apologies Princess of Hoenn," said Zoey with obvious sarcasm in her voice while a large smirk spread across her face.
May let out a disgruntled sound over her words. "Damn it, I wish you never heard that," she whined, pouting even harder.
Wrapping her right arm around May's neck, Soledad brought her in closer to her. "Now, now, no need to be all sad and angry at the same time over something like this. Plus, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't mind a certain someone calling you that huh?" questioned the older girl with a devious smirk.
May went scarlet while Zoey became interested and Dawn's smile faded while her expression took on a bit of sadness. "Soledad…p-please…"
"Alright, alright, I'll stop."
Letting out a sigh of relief, May nodded and withdrew from her. "Thanks." Smiling at her older friend, May turned towards the other two and before Dawn could change her expression, she noticed it and became concerned. "You okay?"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. No need to worry!" said the blunette hurriedly with a forced large smile on her face that only one of them noticed. "Anyways, we should continue working on our contest moves!" she said, reminding them on what they should be doing at the moment.
Knowing she was right, the girls agreed and Soledad made up their plans for the day. "Yeah, we really should. Contest is in a couple days. We should practice some battles too. Zoey and I will practice together while you two train together and then we'll switch. Say in an hour or so?"
"Alright. Sounds good to me. See you in a bit, you two," remarked Zoey and she turned to walk towards another clearing with Soledad following after her.
May and Dawn watched the two go before they faced each other. "Ready?" asked the blue haired girl.
"Yeah, but before that…are you really alright Dawn?" she asked her friend, looking at her with a concerned expression.
"Yeah, I'm good. Why do you ask?"
"Well…" May hesitated, debating on something internally for a moment before deciding to just bite the bullet and say what was on her mind. "I saw your expression just now." Dawn's eyes widened slightly. "You looked sad. Is everything alright? You know you can talk to me right?"
The blunette looked away from the brunette, wondering if she should say anything. After a moment's silence, she decided on what to say and faced her friend. "I'm alright May. No need to worry. I just remembered some friends of ours and that made me miss them," she revealed to her with a small smile. What she said was the truth, in a way and she hoped that the brunette would understand and just leave it at that without trying to dig deeper.
Luckily for Dawn, May understood what she was saying and didn't pry too much into it. She smiled a little in return. "I get it. I miss our friends too. I wonder how they're doing?" Before either of them could say anything, May got a call on her Poketch. Looking at it, she became surprised a bit. "Well, speak of the devil. Or one of them." Her words made Dawn tilt her head but before she could ask why she said that, the brunette answered it and placed the call on speaker. "Hey Misty, long time no talk. How's everything?" Hearing her say that made Dawn understand and she smiled a bit as they waited for their friend to reply before getting involved in the conversation herself.
"Hi May, everything's good here and yea, it's been a while," came their mutual friend's voice from the device's speaker with what seemed like running water in the background. "Wanted to see how you're doing and what's new," she said.
"Oh, you know, same ole. Just practicing some moves for a contest in a few days with some friends. Dawn's here too and she can hear you by the way," answered May while letting her know who else was nearby so she can know and so the blunette could get involved too.
Said blunette flashed a quick smile of gratitude towards the brunette for that before she started talking. "Hiya Misty, all good?"
"Dawn! Nice to hear from you too! I was actually gonna call you after talking with May. Looks like I got you both at the same time. Lucky me," chuckled Misty. Both May and Dawn chuckled at that as well. The three of them talked for a bit, sharing what they've done within the past couple of months. Some interesting battles they've had. People they've met. What they've learned. New clothes they've bought and a few other things. After talking for a while about all that, the red head of the three decided it was a good time to ask the question she's wanted to ask for a while now after catching up and talking about their other friends. "Yeah, it's been a while since I talked to them too. I'll probably call them after our talk to see how they're doing as well." Both May and Dawn decided to do the same and voiced it before Misty continued. "Speaking of catching up with friends, have either of you heard from that dense head recently?"
Both girls giggled at that, knowing exactly who she was talking about as an image of a certain raven haired trainer appeared in their mind's eye. "No, sorry Misty, haven't heard from him since seeing all of you at his house a couple months ago," answered May.
"Yeah, I haven't either. Sorry Misty," said Dawn as well.
"Oh, alright." All three girls said their responses with tones coated with slight sadness that was noticeable to each other, yet none of the three were brave enough to address it.
Deciding to say something so it didn't get too awkward, Dawn spoke up after having an idea form in her head. "You know, maybe Iris might know something. Let me try giving her a call myself while you're on the line," she advised while taking out her Poketch and searched for Iris's contact information.
"Good idea," said May with Misty agreeing before waiting for their friend to call the Unovan native.
Dawn found Iris's contact and initiated the call while placing it on speaker. A couple ringing sounds went through before the call abruptly disconnected. "Huh? It didn't go through?" she asked rhetorically.
"Try again," suggested May.
"Alright." Dawn tried again but was met with the same result. "Still nothing."
"Didn't she say her hometown is up in the mountains and they have bad reception or something?" asked Misty.
May and Dawn exchanged looks of realizations on their faces. "Oh yeah…" Both said at the same time before both let out giggles at that while Misty chuckled. "I'll try one more time, at least," said Dawn as she tried again.
"Third time's the charm hopefully," commented May while Misty let out a 'hmm' in agreement.
However, luck wasn't on their side as the same thing happened with the call not going through. "Damn it," grumbled Dawn as she put away her Poketch.
"It's alright. I'll try calling her myself later. It was a good idea though," said Misty.
"Alright. We'll try again later too," said May before a sudden thought crossed her mind. "Oh, we can try Serena too and see if she knows what he's up to."
"That's right, we can!" agreed Dawn, about to call her now.
"You could but we can always try calling them later. Don't you two have to be training right now for the contest?" asked Misty, reminding them of what they were supposed to be doing right now and feeling slightly guilty for taking up their training time herself.
May and Dawn exchanged wide eyed looks at one another before letting out small chuckles. "Yeah, we should get back to that," agreed Dawn with a sheepish smile.
"Yeah we really should," started May, going silent for a moment as she thought of something else. "Before we get back to that, I got another idea though. We should have another group meet up. Get everyone back together again."
Perking up at that, Dawn joined in. "Yeah, that'll be fun! We definitely should! What do you think Misty?"
They didn't know that on the other end of the line, the red head smiled at that and felt excited for it too. "Sure, I'm in. Just let me know when."
"Alright. I'll send a group text later on with everyone in it," said May.
"Okay. Hopefully Iris will have easier time getting messages as everyone else should be fine. I'll let you two get back to training," replied back Misty.
"Oh yeah, we really need to get back to work," chuckled Dawn. "See ya Misty!"
"Yeah, we should and bye Misty! We'll talk again soon."
"Of course. Bye Dawn! Bye May! Take care!"
With that promise of meeting up again soon and goodbyes said, both May and Dawn glanced at one another after the call ended. "Well, time to get back to work," stated the brunette.
"Yeah, before Soledad and Zoey come back and see we're not doing anything," joked the blunette.
"What, scared of them?" joked May as she took out a poke ball.
Shaking her head, Dawn grinned at her as she took out a poke ball of her own. "No, but do you want to tell them the reason why we weren't?"
Face flushing with color over how both of their friends would tease her about some of the things they talked about, she didn't want to go through that. "Not really. They'll do the same to you too though," replied back May with a smirk.
"Oh, shit, you're right." Her response back made May laugh and Dawn joined in a moment later. After calming down, both girls began their training afterwards, working on improving their contest moves with their pokemon. Images of new combinations of moves entered their minds as they worked together and collaborated. As they continued their training, another image, one unrelated to training, popped up in their minds constantly. It was of a certain raven haired trainer, making them smile and feel several different things while using their current activity to hide it from one another.

Almost a thousand feet below the ground, an enormous underground facility was brimming with activity. And the busiest area in the entire facility was inside the research laboratory. It was one of the largest areas built since many scientists were in the middle of many experiments with nothing left on the table. Having no morals or limits on what they could test, these scientists were left to do as they pleased, as long as they showed progress on whatever they were working on. Performance enhancers, new weapons, cloning research and much more. They were allowed to research and conduct as many trials as they wanted to their hearts' content as long as their research could benefit their leader in some way. And said leader only wanted actual progress and results with no care as to how they achieved them.
As they worked, a blonde woman was watching them through the large room window next to the laboratory's entrance while standing in the hallway with several of her subordinates beside her. It was quiet for a few moments until one from the group decided to speak up. "Looks like it was a piece of cake huh?" he asked her.
The blonde woman didn't answer immediately with the others in the group grimacing internally over it. After a moment, she slightly turned to him with a neutral expression on her face, deciding to answer since it was a harmless question from the newbie grunt. "Yes it was." Moving her head to look at a certain group of scientists that were in one corner of the area, she had a small smirk form on her face. "He'll be thrilled to know we were able to take the league's test subjects and research notes. That'll let us speed things up a bit."
He nodded in agreement with her while a thought entered his head after staring at her for a moment. "You're right about that. I hope he's happy since the intel came through. We did good right?" She nodded after his question and he grinned a bit. "You know, we should celebrate accomplishing our mission without trouble," he said with a suggestive tone along with doing something, becoming emboldened from her agreeing with him.
She turned to face him after he said the suggestion with an angry glare. He had moved closer to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. His stupid action made the others in the group stare wide eyed in shock at what he just did. "You're going to regret that." Before he could even respond, he was pushed back with two of his fingers broken, making him howl with pain. "Don't ever touch me again. Only one man can touch me and that's not you. Got it, you fuckin nobody?!" Not waiting for a reply, she delivered a strong right hook to his face that cracked his jaw. She followed up immediately with a kick straight to his groin that made him freeze with tremendous pain that didn't even let him make a sound. And she finished up her assault by grabbing his face with her right hand and slammed his head against the wall near them a few times before letting him drop to the floor in an unconscious heap. "Get this piece of shit outta my sight before I kill him!"
The others that stood there and did nothing as the blonde woman ruthlessly beat down the foolish rookie moved at once to follow her orders. "Fuckin idiot," commented one of them as he knelt down to pick up the unconscious person.
"Newbie should've known better," remarked another as he helped carry him.
Glaring at the unconscious form of the unworthy prick who dared think he could touch her as her other two subordinates took him away, the woman said something out loud to her subordinates while shifting her attention back to the room window. "Tell everyone that the next moron who thinks they can touch me, is gonna die a slow and painful death." The group beside her swiftly left to inform everyone of her new decree.
"Did you break another set of fingers?" said a new voice.
Without even looking towards the person who just spoke, the blonde responded back with a neutral expression on her face as if she hadn't even done anything. "Stupid shit should've listened to the others telling him not to try anything with me. Damn newbie," she replied back without care and the new person chuckled. "Did those psychos do their job?" she asked the newly arrived man
"A little too well actually. Got everything that we needed and more. Dropped them off in Unova before coming back. They're unloading as we speak." The blonde let out a content sound at that and the man nodded. He glanced at the window, looking in on the scientists working inside. "So, with this job complete, that makes it my last flying mission. I'll get a nice desk job now and have several of my own to boss around," said the man with a smirk.
"That's right, you're moving up in the organization. Who's your replacement?" she asked him.
"New guy. Damn good pilot if ever I saw one. Still not as good as me though since he's a timid one. He'll have to toughen up to survive here. He might be able to do it. Kinda obsessed with the red head though ever since he saw her," informed the pilot, not caring about his words. He knew the woman in front of him absolutely hated people who beat around the bush and those who wasted time. He didn't want to ever get on her bad side.
The blonde woman was filled with annoyance over what she heard. "Great. Another simpleton."
"Maybe. But easier to control, right?" said the man and the woman didn't say anything. "So, I'm curious, what's next?"
She didn't say anything for a while, contemplating if she should or not. Deciding she should, since he was being promoted and would probably hear about it anyways from the other executives. "We're going to need some more test subjects," she said. "We have some pokémon from the scientists' labs we took. But we're going to need more. And we're going to need some human volunteers as well," she added with a nasty smile spreading on her face, not going into too much detail.
The pilot chuckled. "I know you'll have fun finding some volunteers. You gonna go for just anyone or certain people in mind? Like one of the gym leaders, professors or popular trainers?" he asked her.
She thought about that for a bit before she shook her head. "No. We can't afford to go after well known individuals. It'll cause too many questions to be asked and many would go searching for them. It's unnecessary anyways with what the boss has planned."
He nodded. "Oh right, the boss's vision. It'll be a glorious day when it finally comes to pass. All will know the boss's will and we'll all live much better lives."
A genuine smile spread on the woman's face that not only increased her beauty but somehow also made her look sinister. "Yes. It will most definitely be a glorious day. With him on top of the world…and with me right there beside him, where I belong." With those words said, she left the man and made to go find the one whose image appeared in her mind. The one who she loved and would burn the world for if he wished it so…

In a massive hall that screamed divinity due to its sublime engravings and decorations on the walls and pillars, several powerful beings were gathered there. Three of them, the reality dragon trio consisting of Palkia, Dialga and Giratina stood together some distance behind the legendary psychic feline. Mewtwo was the one who stood in front of the three, facing upwards towards Arceus, the large white centaur like being. This particular being was half sitting and half lying down upon a golden throne like chair with velvety red cushions. None of them made a sound or even moved as Mewtwo stared at the Alpha Pokémon, his psychic shield still up, but no longer worried about the Dragon trio behind him who were still there.
After a short while, the psychic feline let his shield vanish while taking a calmer stance before he finally spoke. "You have something to discuss with me Arceus?" Mewtwo's question was not answered but he took the silence as confirmation before the psychic feline continued. "If that's the case, then why did you have these fools bring me here against my will with a rather poor greeting? Why didn't you come to me or summon me yourself if you wished to discuss something with me?" The Dragon trio growled at the insult and let out some choice words of their own, making Mewtwo glance back at them and snarl in return over their insults but none of them attempted to do anything else, since the Original One was now there.
"Silence," said Arceus, his telepathic voice booming with power that immediately compelled the four to quiet down at once. "I will answer that but before I do, I must warn you that I will not tolerate any more rude or disrespectful behavior from you in this sacred place, the Hall of Origin, which is also my home. This goes for everyone. Are we clear?" The dragon trio bowed to their father as a sign of obedience, not even attempting to argue back. The psychic feline glared at Arceus, annoyed over the remark since it wasn't like he asked to be brought here. Regardless, he understood and knew that he couldn't argue against the one who created everything. Even he knew that he couldn't go against Arceus. And so, he too agreed with a curt nod. Seeing him submit, Arceus continued on. "Good. Now, Mewtwo, I had them seek you out to bring you here since I was busy with something else. Even I didn't know what actions they would take to bring you here and because of that, I apologize for their disrespectful actions against you." He glared at the trio who hung their heads in shame and slight fear over their father's angered gaze. Moving his sight away from the trio, Arceus set his eyes back onto the purple feline. "Allow me to get to the point of this meeting of ours. The reason I wanted you here is because I have had a vision."
"A vision?" repeated Mewtwo questioningly.
"Yes, a vision of the future," clarified the Alpha Pokemon. "Most of the time, I have designated such things for my most powerful and capable children, the legendaries, to take care of but I made it so only the most important ones come to me instead. I have seen this vision five times already, always the exact same vision and always right before I wake up in the morning, in the past five days. Now, this vision that I have seen, is one that brings me great fear and sadness over what can happen due to it, just by thinking about it."
Mewtwo's eyes grew wide in surprise over the revelation. It must be something extremely terrible to bring the Original One to worry, thought the purple feline. He definitely wanted to know more about this so called vision if it frightened Arceus. "What did it show you?" questioned Mewtwo in a low tone of voice.
The creator of all answered without delay. "A terrible darkness will emerge that will threaten the very world itself. It will carve a path of destruction against all in its wake, and those who survive, whether human or Pokémon, will be corrupted by it. These…corrupted…will help the darkness spread its evil all over the world. Sadly, not even my first children, the legendaries, will be able to overcome the corruption. Except for those who have their own worlds or dimensions, such as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, can run and be safe where the evil cannot reach them."
The reality trio looked up towards their father with horrified faces over what they just heard. They couldn't believe the words that were just spoken by their father. Even their incredible powers will be no match against this coming darkness? They could be affected as well, even with all their strength and reality bending abilities? The three had fear fill them as they shook slightly while rooted to their spots with this newfound information floating around in their heads as they continued staring at their father in horror.
Mewtwo stared at Arceus with a shocked expression on his face as his heart started beating quicker with a cold shiver going down his spine. A moment later he looked down at the floor with many thoughts racing through his mind. How could such a thing happen? What could be powerful enough to overcome all the legendaries? To even affect the deities of space, time and antimatter? How is this possible? But why tell me about this? Unless…wait… He raised his gaze back towards Arceus and asked him what was on his mind. "You said none of your children can overcome the darkness that is coming. Correct?" A nod was his answer. "Alright. And what of myself? I am not one created by you, but by man. And what about you? Can you be affected as well?" asked Mewto, making Dialga, Palkia and Giratina to look at Arceus with even more fearful expressions, the feline's questions breaking them out of their worried stupor as they too wanted to know those answers.
"The darkness can affect you as well Mewtwo," answered the Original One without hesitation.
"No…" A horrified expression showed up on Mewtwo's face, unable to believe that he too can be affected.
Ignoring the denial from the psychic legendary, Arceus continued answering his questions. "As for myself, I am not sure. If I stay here, I will be safe as none may enter here without my permission. It may not be able to affect me if I go out from here to confront it. But I cannot take that chance, for if the darkness does take over me, it will destroy and corrupt absolutely everything in this universe with my powers. However, I do not yet know where this evil will be coming from, what exactly it is or what causes it to emerge in the beginning so I really cannot say. At this moment, I do not know what or who causes the darkness to emerge or I would make sure it never happens," explained Arceus as he kept his gaze on Mewtwo.
"How could you not know?" asked Mewtwo, dumbfounded over what he just learned. "Shouldn't you be able to see everything?" His questions angered the reality trio, thinking that he dared question their father on his vast abilities but still remained silent since a part of them also wanted to know.
Arceus did not immediately respond back as he took a moment to deduce the best way to reply back. "For the most part, yes, I do when I choose to. I don't see everything at once. God or no, even I could go insane from it. I mentioned this before, but I made it so I learn of things as I choose to and am made aware of almost everything that is important." Mewtwo understood and was about to speak when Arceus continued on, unintentionally interrupting him. "However, this darkness could be protecting those that will unleash it. Or it could be the darkness itself that is preventing me from knowing. Again, as of now, I am unsure. This hasn't happened to me before," revealed the Alpha Pokemon.
"I see." Mewtwo went quiet for a bit, thinking of everything he learned. As he thought, so did the dragons behind him, wondering of what their father revealed. Until something popped into his head and made him share his thoughts. "If this is your vision Arceus, why did you bring me here? Why did you want to share this with me? Why am I here? What can I do, if it can affect me so?"
"I did see something else in my vision as well that I haven't mentioned yet."Arceus now stood up and walked forward towards Mewtwo as he spoke, his golden hooves making no noise as they hit the pristine marble floor. "Near the end of my vision, right before I awaken, I see the darkness gathering from all sides to a large mountain along with many corrupted Pokémon and humans. At the top of this mountain, I see the silhouettes of two beings, one human, and one Pokémon, both of whom seem to be fighting the darkness, keeping it at bay." As he finished saying this, Arceus locked eyes with Mewtwo.
The purple legendary's eyes narrowed in realization. "I am the Pokémon you saw in your vision."
"Yes, you are. Even though you were barely visible in my vision, there is no doubt in my mind. You will be one of the two fighting the darkness."
"But you said that the darkness can affect me as well. Why is it that at the end of your vision, it shows otherwise? And why would I fight alongside a human? They are all unworthy and not to be trusted, believing that they are superior and destroy what they deem unimportant in their own misguided beliefs," snarled Mewtwo, remembering all the horrible things he's witnessed humans do to one another and to pokemon, including what they did and wanted to do to him.
Arceus said nothing for a moment until a soft expression formed on his face. "Yes, many humans have acted with such vile actions. You yourself have done certain horrible actions too as I recall." That last comment made Mewtwo look away to the side with both anger and slight shame that he was reminded of his past actions. "However, to answer both of your questions, I merely say this; not all humans are the same. I believe there is a certain human who embodies all the good in the world in great quantities and you have met this person a couple times as well. I believe it is because of him that the darkness does not affect you and that is why you are fighting together in my vision."
Surprised over the answer, Mewtwo couldn't believe it and that made him look at Arceus again. "There is no such human. How can you…" Mewtwo trailed off, suddenly remembering who the Alpha Pokémon was talking about. Arceus nodded as he noticed Mewtwo's realization. "That boy. The one who risked his life for the Pokémon and me…what was his name…Ash? Ash Ketchum? Yes, that was his name. But why him? Just because of a few good deeds, doesn't mean he is the one," wondered Mewtwo out loud, lost in thought.
"Yes, Ash Ketchum. I believe he is the human in my vision. I have a little more information about this vision but before I say anything else, and before you tell me what you decide, I would like to request something from you." Mewtwo looked up at Arceus and after a moment, he nodded. "Excellent. I would like you to find Ash, and bring him here. Do not tell him about the vision just yet, but that I need to see him. We have met before and he will come. I would go myself, but I would like to get something prepared for him while you retrieve him. Plus, it looks like my children like to complicate things for their own amusement so I will not be asking them to go this time." Arceus glanced back towards the dragons, causing the three to immediately stare at the floor. Arceus shook his head in disapproval before facing the psychic again. "Mewtwo, before you leave, I would like to give you this gift." Arceus had a one of his Unown appear, seemingly out of nowhere right in front Mewtwo. It glowed a pure white, causing Mewtwo to glow pure white as well. After a few seconds the glowing stopped from both Pokémon. Once finished, the Unown vanished back to its unknown place it came from. "There. I have given you access to teleport back here once you find him and he agrees to come with you. I shall be waiting for you both. Even though I know you can find him easily, to make things quicker, he is on Mount Silver. I shall see you both soon."
Mewtwo said nothing in reply but gave another curt nod. He glanced at the Dragon trio for a second before facing the Original One. "I will return with him soon." He vanished from his spot as he teleported to Mount Silver.
Arceus turned around to go back to his throne. Giratina took this opportunity to speak up about some things that he, and probably his brothers as well, were thinking about. "Father, why would you trust Mewtwo? Surely you know of his origin, and what he was created to be? And you know what he has done in the past. Why would you trust such a being, one who is filled with so many doubts and conflicting emotions with something so important? One who only cares for himself?" The other two reality Dragons locked their gazes onto their father and nodded in agreement with their brother since they all knew how the psychic feline was and wanted to know why he would be so trusting towards him.
Arceus answered his son as he continued moving towards his throne and sat down on it. "Because he is the one I saw in my vision, along with Ash. I believe the two were destined to meet before. They have shown each other what the world truly holds, both good and bad."
"But how would that help them against this darkness?" asked Giratina, saying what was on the minds of his brothers once more.
Arceus was quiet for a moment before he responded. "You will come to understand in time. Words can only answer so much." The reality Dragons said no more as they understood that the Original One was done speaking about that particular subject.
