Aya gently held the young Yveltal, gently stroking her. "You're so soft! And...starry?" After doing this for a few more minutes, Aya carefully gave Twilight back to her dad. "Does she like to play any games???" The Ogerpon asked.

(@asktheoger) Aya @ Dusk and Twilight “AWWWWWW!! Hi hi!!” The young Ogerpon runs up to the Suicune and the little Yveltal. “You’re so cute and small!! I’m Aya! What’s your name???”

Dusk chuckled at the child's enthusiasm, lowering his head to allow Aya and Twilight to better see one another, "She's too young to talk, but this here is Twilight, my daughter. My name is Dusk. It's a pleasure to meet you Aya!"

Twilight blinked at the young ogerpon for a moment before shuffling forward slightly, more on her fathers head and exiting his soft fur. She stretched her neck forward and inspected Aya, snuffing softly as she did. Twilight picked up on the scent of sand and salt, along with a lot of earthy scents. Letting out a soft, pleased chirp, Twilight gently bonked her head against Aya's hand in greeting.

"It would be foolish to lie to the Herald of Truth... so I will admit, sometimes, I am both jealous and lonely. I am aware many, nay, most of my kind have the moon at their side. That is not what destiny had written for me, so, I have learned to take it mostly in my stride like the others before me in this world. We are outliers. Mayhaps that will one day change, and fate will not be so cold to me and my kin; but, for now, the reality is that protecting this world is my task, and my task alone. I... partially wish it was not so. You need not apologize, Fire-bringer. I should insted thank you... I do not think I've ever had the courage to admit those feelings out loud before. It is easy to forget we are but Pokemon too, with wishes and desires and emotions, despite the burdens we carry."

(@ask-dawnanddusk) "Ah, a Spiritomb!" Voxgatum said with a smile. "It's been quite some time since I've last seen one of you. I do apologize for the disturbance, I believe the one who picked you up was unaware of what you were and simply sought to examine what they believed to be an interesting rock." He explained. "If it's not too much to ask, what is your name, little one?"

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Maksviah@Quetzal "It seems life has not been kind to you. Whilst I understand the need for silence, speaking of that which hurts you so can also do well for your mind. Perhaps you may speak of the past now to me, as I am willing to listen? It need not be things which are negative either, should you wish to speak of passed loved one's, such things could also do you well. Only if you wish, of course. I mean not to pry."

Let's see...well, there was my mother, Yohualcoatl. She was made of stars I'm sure of it. Long long ago ancient humans would call her "The Great Sky Dragon", and saw her as the origin of all dragons. When she allowed meteors to fall, it became the first Draco Meteor.

Of course she was more than a myth to me, she was my mom! She doted on me and would take me flying into lower space, and I would fly slower on purpose because I liked watching her tail create small meteors. It functioned like a brush, in a way.

My father, Tonalcoatl, is probably the more well known of them. He appeared to the Draconids of Hoenn and stopped the rampage between Groudon and Kyogre-the first documented Mega Evolution for human history. He was called The Great Sun, doing away with the cataclysmic weather the two brought with ease. Of course he answered to Tano as well, being the first sun of the island and ensuring a day and night cycle with my mother.

I remember him being so kind, never losing his temper. He always seemed to know what to do and could think on the fly. He was very worldly and knowledgeable, and easy to approach too. I remember every once in a while seeing a human or two approach him, and he was very careful with them and eased their fears of being in his presence.

All of them-my parents, my siblings who weren't even named yet, Karaya. They all represented some part of the day in some manner, and as long as the sun keeps rising and setting, they're all with me.

That's one thing I learned from humanity-grief comes in different forms and in waves. If they can handle pain like that, and choose to keep going everyday despite it, who's to say that I can't as well?

(@ask-dawnanddusk) "WOW MISS, YOU LOOK REALLY PRETTY!!" Loraifon shouted enthusiastically, excited to see the giant bird. "You're feathers also look super soft! I mean, not as soft as moms, but still really soft! But I'm confused, aren't Ho-oh not supposed to live here? I mean, I think mom told me that there are already three big strong pokemon who live in… Kanto? No, Kalos! Right, Kalos. An I thought they kinda watched over it, right? So what are you doing here?"

Harumi watched the young one excitedly blurt their thoughts at her. She quite enjoyed spending time with children and this little joy was no exception.

"You are very knowledgeable on such a topic. I applaud your insight!" She ruffles Loraifon's fluff with a wing. "To answer your question, yes. There are three big gods that rule over this land. I am here because one of them is sleeping and needs my help so she can get a good rest."

This, obviously, was a very simple way of putting the situation but Harumi did not wish to trouble the child with the dark details.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Loraifon@Reshi "Hiya miss!" The small arceus chirped excitedly, "You're a reshiram, right? My ma is too! Though she's waaaaay bigger and darker and more starry... But! But but! I have a question! Why wont you go outside? I know it can be scary going to new places full of people, but me and my ma went to a festival recently and it was really fun! If you want you can ask her about places to go."

“That’s uh…besides the point however! I do hope you and your mother have fun at the festival! Thank you for lending your divine ear my way.”

@ask-dawnanddusk

[perish-song]

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Dawn: "Man, It's pretty rare to see a shiny lugia! Well, at least for others. I've seen things way crazier then shiny mons, but that's besides the point. Considering your rare species and coloration, It's very possible that you've had some, uh... less then stellar interactions with humans in the past, especially considering how you reacted to the human nurse. Maybe it has something to do with your memory loss?"

"Is my color really so odd though? Are others of my kind if there are any...not the same?"

@ask-dawnanddusk

[shimmeringtidepools]

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Voxgatum@Ryuki "Ah, another Lugia! It has been quite some time since I last saw one of our kind. Out of curiosity, what is the current state of your Johto, and what role do you play within it? With our vastly different forms, I assume that our duties also vary quite a bit."

“Ah hello there! It is a privilege to meet another of my kind, especially one that is a pokémon! Now I can gain an idea of how stunning I might have been in your world!” He chuckles a bit before continuing.

“I’m pleased to state that the current state of Johto is peaceful. I was just monitoring the waters before I noticed everyone here, in fact! It seems like everything is right as rain.” The silver haired man pauses and contemplates the next question presented carefully, before he continues. “As for my duties, well…thats a bit more complex to explain.”

“Both my friend and I protect Johto and Kanto’s skies and seas. This involves providing aid where needed, making sure no threats are present in both regions, and patrolling both areas we guard well. Often tomes we take turns aiding Kanto since we primarily protect Johto. The region has no official guardian so we do our best to provide the care it needs.”

“I also look out for my assistants, Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres. They can cause more havoc than good often times, but they serve me and provide me information about Kanto as I need.”

[askcapital]

Capital looks around, sheepishly. They remain quiet for a bit, before speaking up.

Uhm. I, uh, should say... thank you.

-> Capital seems to be getting hang of it... slowly but surely?

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Maksviah@Taiji "How wonderful it is that you and your other half once again reconnected. It is so rare that I see the origin of the three dragons alive in any universe, however all guarantee that they are brilliant in their own unique way. Whilst I am not of such origin, it always pains me to see those three suffer."

"Now that you have reinstated your bond and have, ah, 'woken up' in a sense, is there any place in particular you would like to visit? I myself can give quite a few suggestions, and my dear friends have traveled quite a bit as well. It is always lovely to see the wonders of the world. I also do admit that I do not fully understand how your bond works, so I'm unaware how much you have seen over the years."

"Kyu and I were born at the same time, but we didn't really interact until the first time I slept. Then... we met. The connection was established, and we could switch between one another at will. We are very close, so, naturally, when our connection was severed, it was devastating for him."

"Though, trust me, he isn't going to want to talk about it, hehe."

[ask-sarah-and-co]

He smiles genuinely, although it can only show in his eyes. It almost looks unnatural on his usually smirky face. Dawn and dusk, you say? That is quite fascinating. His wings flutter a little, You know, I can see some wonderful possibilities in her. Which means you and your partner must be raising her quite wonderfully.

(@ask-sarah-and-co) sol @ twilight/dusk

“Ah, a young one.” He kneels down to investigate Twilight’s patterns. “You too, are an Yveltal?” He grins, “Of course you are. I can sense your innate talent. One day, you will be big and strong like me, my friend.” He then addresses her father. “She represents twilight, you said? I would like to ask what period of time that is. Typically it describes the sunset, which is your realm is it not? Do you worry that your child will lean towards one realm over another?”

"Ah, in a way you are half correct." Dusk explained, "Many make the same mistake, however twilight, while usually ascribed to sunset, actually encapsulates a bit of both dawn and dusk. It represents the time before sunrise and after sunset."

"It's a bit hard to explain. Only others like us can really understand what it means to embody the changing sky, however by our nature and the laws that rule over us as a species, it would be impossible for her to lean more towards one or the other. She embodies both dawn and dusk in equal capacity, and to suggest that she could be swayed one way or another is paradox to our very existence."

"..."

"But even should that impossibility ever happen… I would love her all the same."

[askthecosmicprince]

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Maskviah leaned forward, taking care not to accidentally knock over the little snowman the mew had made. "Greetings, little light. I am a maker of stars and galaxies similar to yourself, and I was most curious about your culture and traditions. I have not heard of many others like I within mine own realm, and therefore I wonder how it is you all differ from I. What is your culture like? Does all of your family reside on one planet, or roam the stars, constantly travelling?"

“Father is the King of the Cosmos. He’s in charge of this universe and all the stuff in it. Mommas the Queen but she doesn’t do much ‘ruling’ but I think that’s cause she’d rather do other stuff while father handles it. They both live in the palace offworld.

Father is the one who actually makes the stars I just help by collecting the stuff for it. But when I’m older I’ll get to do it all by myself! Sometimes my cousins help collect stuff too but it’s usually my job.”

”Home planets are really small compared to normal ones, usually just big enough for a couple of houses and they orbit within adult territory. Once you’re an adult your free to choose a new home! It can be somewhere on Earth or a whole new planet.

“Earth is more fun to play on though so we all come here often,” the small mew continues to flip through the pages showing off cousin after cousin as he rambled. He soon slows down, his smile slipping a little as he mumbles, “oh uh sorry for rambling. I probably could have shortened that.”

“What about you?” The mew suddenly asked in return, “I haven’t met a star maker that wasn’t a cosmic from this universe.”

[sinnohsiblings]

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Maksviah@Narcissa "Greetings, Lady of Gilded Moon, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. It is so rare I do see another capable of Creation similar to I. I am curious, however, how is it that you have come to hold such high status? Or, more specific, how is it that you came to meet your husband?"

Narcissa: "The story of how Abbadon and I met isn't that complex I guess. More of a freak accident caused by a very angry void worm! But that's a story for another day."

"But rolling back on to my status I am basically serving as a mini Arceus here in my home dimension because of something that happened eons ago. It was that or possibly loose my home and so I am treated with the same respect Alpha is treated for my work here."
