Heeeere's Susano! Love this guy + his trial.

[lustrous-dawn]

Caelus hunkered down to eye level with Zhen, head place on his claws. Zhen couldn't help but to shuffle on his talons, wary.

“Afraid?” rumbled Caelus.

“Who wouldn't be freaked out?” Zhen frowned. “You're as tall as the tower. One bite and I'm a goner.”

A smile from the dragon, more like a display, revealing rows of sharp teeth that could crunch his bones in a mere snap. “Do try to stay on my good side then.”

“Duly noted. Who would have thought the Great Rayquaza had a funny side,” Zhen said dryly.

A rumble from the serpent as he extended a claw. “To explain the likes of Reiko to you, I must start from the origin. As I said, you are her incarnation.” A small tap on the surface of the mirror before them.

One.

Two. 

Three.

“Incarnation?” A subtle glow from the mirror. 

“Must I explain the likes of reincarnation to you as well?” The dragon raised a brow. “She is you yet she is not.” A cursory glance over the Ho-oh. “You share some of her plumage but not much else. You are clearly more cheeky and Reiko had an elegance you cannot compare to. That tongue of yours will get you into trouble.” 

“Geez thanks. Not only do I suck at this, I'm ugly as well.” 

“I never said you were not attractive.”

Zhen blinked. He certainly did not need to hear that. 

Caelus continued as if nothing was wrong. “You lack the maturity and experience Reiko had garnered over the years. This is easily forgiven. You are still young, barely over four hundred but I expected you to retain some of her memories. This is what I have learnt from handling your elk.” 

“You dealt with others then?”

The dragon closed his eye, vividly recollecting the one filled with zeal. “You all fall underneath my dominion as entities of the Sky. But none was as broken as you are. They had freedom in their hearts, a wild flame I would often have to temper before they would do something foolish. Your kind reminds me much of humans. 

Your lot lives every second as if it is your last. Here and now. Your kind burns brightly, fire brimming with a renewing flame. But when your lives flicker out, you do so with a burst of fiery feathers and you become naught but ash.”

A swallow from the Ho-oh.

Caelus inhaled softly. “But from the ashes, a new life arises. Very few Ho-oh I have come across were small little things stumbling from the ash. I guide a nary few to a safe location. And I have met a few, older, whispering of a life before. This is what I expected from you but you tell me you have no memories to recall.” 

A wistful look from the Ho-oh. “Nothing.” Now he wasn't sure if it was true. Since the first sighting of Susano, something has been stirring, a sort of restlessness formed inside his chest. It filled him with unease, the sensation coming to fore as his eyes focused on the likes of the mirror, “What's so special about this Reiko anyway?” 

“She was the First.”

___________________________

The scene transformed within the mirror to reveal a younger, more slender Rayquaza gliding through the skies. In his prime, Caelus was largely unchallenged and reigned supreme of his dominion. Those who dared to cross paths with him lowered their heads in submission, hoping they would never attract Rayquaza’s attention. 

But partially why he was here. He had sensed a new presence had entered upon his dominion. Strong, powerful. The blood in him boiled at the mere thought of another rising to strength and hadn't the nerve to approach him. His talons hooked, tuck close to his body, he descended from the cloud layer. 

Lightning cracked through the sky, rain like sharp needles pelting against his scales only to helplessly sleek off his glistening scales. Caelus snarled, halting in his tracks as the wind picked to whip around him.

Manipulating his element?! The nerve! 

A wave of the claw and the gale died down to a spitter. Lightning flashed once more, alighting the sky in a glittering flame; illuminating the ominous shadow rapidly descending upon the Rayquaza hidden deep in the cloud layer. 

An eruption of roars as a Lugia collided with the Ray, fangs and claws tangled together as the dragons wrestled for dominance and position. Claws buffered against dense scales and feathers, neither drawing blood as they untangled to fly in skies.

Who is this?! What is this!?

He hadn't a moment to think, wheeling back as the Leviathan's maw snapped inches away from his neck. 

A bright glow to Caelus’ eyes before he banked wide, delivering a whip of the tail to the Lugia's frame to allot space. 

“That is enough!” roared Caelus, maw awide as yellow energy began to amass in his throat. 

The Lugia mimicked the same, their eyes burning with the same intensity-

“Enough!” 

A blur of golden and silver came from above. A heavy weight descended upon his form, clamping his maw shut. He came crashing into the earth, fractures splinting through for the force of their landing. 

Humiliated, Caelus glared at the radiant Phoenix who stood over him, flanked by the Leviathan who battled him in the sky.  

“Children! The both of you!” The Lugia hung his head at her high pitched shrill, recoiling from her shout. “I will not have you destroy the region because of your need for dominance!”

The Lugia muttered under his breath, avoiding the Phoenix’s gaze.

Baffled by the now cowardly nature of the Lugia, Caelus attempted to rise only to find himself thoroughly pinned by the Ho-oh as she sat on him. 

“I am not done talking with you.” Lethal words from the Ho-oh that sent shudders down his spine.

“You show me a place ravaged by the sea itself for what purpose?” Came Silver Storm's grumbling reply as he came to flank the Great Serpent of the Skies. Storm hadn't placed the Rayquaza in a category yet. The dragon wasn't a friend but he also wasn't a foe. 

“I am dropping the protection she had once set over this place. My sister, I mean,” the Great Serpent said, unbothered by Storm's mood. 

“I wasn't aware you had a sibling.” Or family of that matter, a thought he kept to himself. 

“As you consider your much beloved Sun to be family of sorts, the Ocean was much like family to me as well.” The dragon extended his claws, the golden markings along his body emitted a muted light. “Blood relation or not, I still considered her and her counterpart family. Even if her methods were questionable.”

Ending on an enigmatic note, Silver Storm surveyed the surrounding area, the crumbling stone ravaged by savaged waves. “Why drop the protection?”

“Life must grow anew. Her place must be reclaimed to erase the stain she has left here. This place was once a jewel amongst the sea. A pinnacle of sorts. One for safety. She sang for her people and they in turn sang with her and were embraced by her. I want this place to be a jewel once more, not an island of desolation.”

“Her people?”

“She took them to the ocean, Storm. She and her people reside in the sea never to arise again.”

Recently replayed Okami for what is probably a third time, so I decided to finally draw a poster for it. This game has altered my brain chemistry and means so much to me. Can’t wait to replay it again in the future.

MMOs can be a bit tough to get into, but they're pretty fun.
