  Amaterasu && IssunAmaterasu glanced up sadly at the ruins. It from here that her Father had first sent her to the mortals after her Rebirth. Her job had been one of monitoring, to ensure the safety of the child that fulfilled half the prophecy and to keep her eye on The God of Destruction. She had not expected the trouble from Creaus- to think that both Arceus's Shadow and Light would be trapped in semi-mortal bodies at the same time! Suecra had been taken from his host, the elite hostile, her Father dying. She was powerless to stop events and could only reassure herself that through the hardships they will emerge victorious. It had been promised. She sat down next to the ruins and waited, watching the Sun rise.

  Tolin & Desmond" Good morning, Mother Goddess." Tolin quietly appeared on the grounds nearby. His timing was perfect. Too perfect, in fact; Desmond had been waiting a distance off, his psychic eye maintaining it's focus over the tower. The moment Amaterasu appeared, he had disappeared to fetch the Scyther. The Lugia had settled behind him into a meditative pose, his eyes closed and his voice silent. " I would like to tell you a story. Would you like to hear it?"

Amaterasu && Issun Amaterasu turned her head as the Scyther appeared, watching the bug type with what seemed like a blank expression, like that of a bored dog. She returned her attention to the rising when when he and his friend had settled. She said nothing; her silence was her invitation to continue.

Tolin & Desmond Well, silence, then? He would continue. " Infinitely long ago, pokemon had no special powers. They were mere creatures. And they fought. Long, bloody wars. So Arceus created 17 pendants, one for each type, and cast them to the earth. It was from these that pokemon gained their powers. The typing differences created a crucial balance; it was possible for individual fighters to be much stronger than one another and many pokemon avoided one another all together due to new, inherent weaknesses. And then Arceus gave these pendants to Dialga and Palkia. The two were meant to guard it, yet they did not; they fought. War broke out. Their power filled the pendants, which were cast across the earth. Mortals took hold of the pendants and began to abuse the powers they found inside. Before long, the balance collapsed and Arceus destroyed the universe." Literally, infinitely long ago. " And then he created a new universe. And he created his children. Seventeen of them. Each one bore a pendant and they acted as his soldiers to defend the balance and bring prosperity. Over time, many of them died. A few of the pendants were lost, but many of the pendants were simply placed on newly born members. Eventually, two children were born. A small Buneary and a small Ralts. Each one had a legendary for a father. The latter was sired by a Mewtwo named Archer. The former was sired by Darkrai himself." This was where things changed from what most knew. " Both fathers wanted their children to survive the only way possible. Archer bound Suecra into his child, who he loved so dearly. Darkrai bound Creaus to his, so that she may be used as a weapon. The years passed and the two grew. The balance was steady. But then an abomination came to life. A Weavile named Nico. His existence began to warp the balance. The pendants that were lost to the wild were abused more and more as time went on and the balance began to crumble." And now for what she knew nothing of. " Darkrai then took control of an Eevee. The leader of the Elite. That Eevee served as the mouthpiece of Arceus. None of the others spoke to Arceus directly, only he. So Darkrai began to manipulate them. He gave one of the unused pendants to a Mightyena and had it attack the guilds. He had Creaus attack the guild masters in an attempt to sow chaos and disorder. Eventually, an Espeon attacked the tower in an attempt to reclaim and artifact. Darkrai believed him to be working with the guilds, so he sent an Elite to each one in order to crush them. Creaus herself was sent to the Tower of Rebirth to pluck her brother from his vessel. And she did so." And that was all. " And here we are today."

Amaterasu && Issun
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a minute. Arceus- what? What's this about...Pooch, is that what that Relics you were going after about? And who's...Soo-cra...Cree-is?"Amaterasu shook her head in annoyance in a futile attempt to dislodge the noisy bug. It did shut him up though, for he was too busy stubbornly clinging on. Darkrai. I see. I know little about the current leader of His elites, but I have known for a while that things were not what they should be...The Dark One often yearned for The Original One's position.Issun had made his way to Ammy's head by now, and bounced up and down it like some little green flea as he examined the Scyther and Lugia. "Ammy, do you mean that what had happened-"at the river? Yes. It was unmistakable. It was the taint of an Elite. Scyther, Silver Dragon, what do you ask of me?

Tolin & Desmond She was believing him, then? He could only loosely understand her. It was sort of an uncomfortable method, but Desmond was serving as his "ears" for the moment. Although Tolin couldn't understand a word on his own, he understood it almost as well as Desmond. Which was to say, only a little. " Simply put, I'm amassing an army. I'm gathering as many powerful allies as I can. The world is sick. I intend to purge the cancer that has been allowed to grow. I will slaughter Nico. I will kill the Elite that stand in my way. I will do much more than seal Darkrai. I will see to it that not even a speck of his existence remains." Tolin intended no less than complete annihilation. " But, a powerful army needs to be made of powerful people. So, Amaterasu Ookami, Mother of Us All. I need the help of you and your tribe. I ask two things of you, and two things only. Vouch for my honesty to the tribe and help me restore the peace of this world. When the final battle comes, we shall need all our strength." He spoke without hesitation and with a sense of confidence. He spoke to the Absol as if he were his equal, although she was not. Well, it would do no good to be timid or passive with her. She sought to protect the people, so Tolin would tell her how.

Amaterasu && Issun The Diseased One was never meant to exist and he must be removed. But The Dark One is too much a part of this world. We must stop him but we must never go as far as you say. The Balance requires both Light and Dark.
I will fight for this world, but I will not fight for you. I will intervene when there is the need. As for the Tribe, they will know that I do not oppose you, but they will make their own choice. All of this to normal ears was simply a serious of growls and whines, punctuated by a bark. It had been many years since she had blessed The Tribe. Like children who have left their mother's empty nest, their path was their own to decide.

Tolin & Desmond Half way, huh? Her complete help would have been nice, but in the end it was just a matter of convincing her of the severity of the final few battles. If they staged an assault on Origin, she would likely help if only to try and kill Darkrai and free her master. If they needed her before that, well... They were probably dead anyways. " Then, I receive your help graciously. Thank you for your assistance. However, please make sure to visit the guild periodically so we may update you on the situation. There will come a time when we will have to make a final assault; any missing aid could mean the difference between winning and losing." Though it was hard to say if she could even scratch the leader. " The only other matter is the pendant you hold. I would prefer to keep it within the safety of the guild, but as the holder it is your choice. Do be careful, though. Those pendants warp both the balance and their wielder. Even if it is you, the damage will no doubt be present." The pendant had been in use before. The exact potency was, of course, unknown, but there was the possibility she was abusing the power without thought.

Amaterasu && Issun Amaterasu go to her feet as she felt the end of their meeting to be drawing closer. There is one of The Tribe residing with you. Moon that Falls in Skies of Blue. Keep him informed and I will be as well."You mean that Moonfall kid I hopped a ride with?"Amaterasu ignored him. I will be coming to the guild regardless. There is one who's safety I am bound to ensure that dwells there. Do not worry about the Relic, I understand its power and its ability to corrupt. I will keep it safe and will not draw its power except under the utmost of need. I am not the rightful bearer. At the last comment, Amaterasu glanced at Desmond briefly, her ears flattening in disapproval. She knew that he had worn the Flying Relic at some point. If there is no more I will take my leave.

Tolin & Desmond " Then I shall see you in the coming days." He stepped back to Desmond and put his scythe lightly against the Lugia's skin before turning to Amaterasu. " Guard it carefully. Darkrai himself has taken an interest in that relic, though I do not know if it is for himself or his daughter." And then, he was gone. It wasn't the best agreement possible, but it was helpful. Her refusal to slay Darkrai would be troubling, but when it came down to it they would have to kill his host to purge him. And once they did that, the rest would become comparatively easy. Darkrai was likely weak compared to Orion's brother, especially with the pendant's power considered.
