((continued from here))

[The human pauses as if gathering their thoughts. She keeps her voice leveled enough, but a trained ear could pick out the slightest bit of negativity... could it be annoyance? Anger? Disappointment? It was hard to say.]

I had lent out my research to others in different regions, for the sake of collaboration and having more hands reaching towards the same goal. There was an incident a few years ago, a very violent altercation occurred where a portion of it was lost. If it didn't go up in flames, it was stolen...

Everything can be rebuilt however, and the project has recovered. But now I guard it very closely.

[Alruba's attention turns to the tapestry, a thin smile as a hand reaches out to the old and faded chart with fondness.]

I was born and raised in Meteor Falls, and so much of this knowledge came to me in the forms of bedtime stories. Tales of magnificent beasts that resided in the heavens, gracing this world with their presence and holding influence to this very day.

These stars have been catalogued for generations, at first orally before eventually being written down. After the first Draco Meteor, brilliant fireballs rained down at different points-thunderous roars catapulting from the sky into the planet.

Their locations were scattered, but their impacts were nothing short of spectacular. The dragons were nowhere to be found around their impacts, so it was only to be assumed that they began to explore the world.

Their fall gave rise to the dragons we know today.

(@ask-the-fogbound-serpent) Vourison craned his head forward, inspecting the small hybrid for a moment before speaking, "It seems you cherish your scarf very much. It is quite lovely, however I am curious about something. From what I can gather you are a hybrid of Sylveon and Ribombee, correct? I was wondering if the scarf is meant to mimic the ribbons of a Sylveon in some manner, or if they are truly attached to your body." He paused before continuing, slightly sheepish, "Ah, if this seems rude feel free to ignore the question."

[ @ask-the-fogbound-serpent ]

He perked up somewhat at the Rayquaza's voice. He would usually be taken aback that such a massive and powerful Pokemon took notice of him at all; then he realized that Vourison was expressing interest in his scarf.

Lief: "Someone like you wants to know more about my scarf? Well, I'm touched... but the answer is more boring than you're thinking."

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Lief, a hybrid of Sylveon and Ribombee, with a mono-color background. He is shown from the neck up, with his face slightly angled away from the viewer towards the left. He looks puzzled, or curious. His left eyebrow is noticeably raised, while his right eyelid is lowered somewhat. He is frowning visibly. An angular question mark is floating next to his head at the left. End ID ]

Lief: "See, as much as I wanna tell you that it's super special, it's really just a regular scarf. Not attached to my body, and they're not like a full-blood Sylveon's feelers. That would be my antennae."

He shrugged, though he couldn't help but smile a little.

Lief: "It's a coincidence that it suits me so well, really. But I get it. It does look like it was always meant for me, doesn't it~? Even now, in these trying times..."

azel-the-umbreon asked: @ask-the-lywelles Azel Azel would pop out of thin air and kinda float there laying on his back in the air Azel: "So I was wondering, when and where did you get your scarf? Just asking as the local scarf enthusiast." He would make sure his own scarf wasn't slipping off. Azel: "Seriously though, I'm curious about it. You dont usually see scarves that long either."

[ @ask-the-lywelles ]

Lief: "Well if you really must know... it's a gift."

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Lief similar to the previous image, but with a different expression. He appears rather dismissive, glancing away towards the right with even narrower eyes. His face is flushed in red, literally so as the blush is shown in color. End ID ]

Lief: "That's all I'll say."

Event Ask Hints have been updated.

[distortionmewtwo]

(@ask-the-fogbound-serpent) Vourison tilted his head at Giratina in thought, listening to what the other legend had to say before nodding, "I suspected that to be the case." Vourison nodded, "With how Ultraviolet spoke about you, even before this reveal, it was clear to see you both cared for each other very much. You are not the first Giratina to change for the better over many, many years, and I am sure you will not be the last."

"As for this conflict with your siblings, it really is a damned if you, damned if you don't, huh? On one hand battling outright would cause untold destruction and mayhem, but on the other simply doing nothing would jeopardize you and your entire realm. While I don't approve of dragging others into this conflict, I do understand your reasons as to why. Luckily, these choices may even work in your favour in an, albeit, unintentional way."

"Just as you have formed a close bond with Ultraviolet, so too it is possible your siblings have formed similar ones with their champions. As legends I often see many grow grand and arrogant in their power and isolation, so by taking on the care of another you all may have unintentionally humbled yourselves in a way. Perhaps it is possible for this conflict to be avoided, or for another, non-lethal compromise to be made. If you so care for your son, and they also feel the same way about their own chosen ones, then there is hope."

The very world around them was beginning to shift as Ultraviolet's distress grew. The mewtwo was just as connected to the realm as Giratina was at this point, his years spent in it changing his very biological makeup to better suit it. So as he became more and more upset, the world responded in kind. Giratina and Invert shared a concerned look.

"You've explained," UV hissed, tail lashing. "Well and good, thank you for that. But what now?? They think I am your Champion and they aren't going to just let this slide!! What if Palkia's Champion comes for me next??"

Ultraviolet, please-

"Don't you dare tell me to calm down!!" He held his head in his hands. "I am apparently nothing but a pawn in the game of the Gods, I am allowed to be upset--!!"

Ultraviolet. The wyrm stared helplessly at him, his son, terrified and trembling and looking so very small. He didn't know what to do. He'd never meant for things to turn out this way. My boy, you are so much more to me than a pawn in the game of the Gods. You are my son, and this has not changed, nor will it change. This I swear to you. Once you may have been saved for a purpose- but you were raised as mine. I have never felt so deep a love for another being as I have you. Of course you are allowed to be upset, this I do not dispute- but please, do not doubt how high of regard I hold you in.

Ultraviolet listened but did not respond, hugging his arms close to himself- and it was this that broke Giratina's resolve. The wyrm had the ability to use Transform, as many of the legends did. He did not like to use it often, as changing his shape was an uncomfortable sensation, trapping so much raw power in a smaller vessel- but right now he could do no less.

Meeting him on his level, being able to truly look his son in the eye- it felt right at this moment in time. The shift in form surprised Ultraviolet, who shrank back a little, staring at him, but he didn't move away. In this form it was so much easier to see the expression on the face of his father. The regret and sadness and above all, sincerity. None of this had come from a place of malice- at least, not beyond the original pact. Giratina had found himself with emotion and feeling he'd never dealt with before then, and had floundered trying to keep his status quo. Whatever was going on- UV could see that his father loved genuinely loved him, clear as day, and this more than anything quieted his breaking. Silence dominated the conversation then, both beings looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Then Vourison spoke. A comforting presence for UV, and a surprise for Giratina- but a welcome one. He would not dispute the words of the ancient Rayquaza either. The great mediator who held such deep wisdom- Giratina was glad for his input, and his words rang true. As he finished speaking, the two looked back to each other.

"Katharsis did seem to hold Dialga in a place o-of love as well," Ultraviolet said slowly. "At least, that is how it came across to me..."

"They always were the more reasonable of my siblings." Giratina exhaled. "And while it is difficult to see my sister forming such a bond with any being... it is possible she too may see reason, if both myself and Dialga no longer wish to put our chosen through this."

"S-So..." Ultraviolet looked up hesitantly. "There's a possibility, then... th-that I shan't have to..?"

Giratina reached out to place two of his hands on UV's shoulders. "We will speak to them," he said firmly. "The gods shall meet, and their champions will bear witness. We shall see this pokemon my sister has claimed, and we will attempt to call this entire thing off together. I will summon my siblings to Earth for this, and we will work through it."

Ultraviolet stared at him, shaking like a leaf- and then he finally broke down for real, moving forward and falling apart as the arms of his father came around him. Invert too came forward to offer her own comfort. Forgiveness, that would come later, should it come at all... but for now there seemed a way out for the little family, and this was something they could hold onto and hope for.

Asks are open again!

💌 Mayhaps Vourison + Destino? @ask-the-fogbound-serpent

(Destino: There’s a weird fucking arbok outside. Looks like grandma the fucking thing.

So, hear me out. Let’s give Destino an actual father figure in their life. I mean, Destino would absolutely hate it. This weird arbok giving them advice and they’ve taken it and, at this point, who knows how it’s going to turn out. Perhaps Destino will ask for more. Perhaps not. Destino would never say if it was good or bad advice or if it even worked. Not their style.

I mean, it’s not like they’ll have one soon.)

[singularity-and-co]

(@ask-the-fogbound-serpent) Vourison eyed the Arceus warily. While he wasn't the most… fond of creator pokemon due to certain past experiences with them, this one didn't seem actively malicious. Still, to lose so many worlds despite your honest attempts at making them…

He carefully approached the Arceus, marginally more respectful then he usually would be towards others, "Not to be insensitive, but having lost so many worlds where other Arceus have succeeded, have you ever tried discussing with other creators how they make their worlds? Like, I'm not the most fond of creators in general, a lot of em' can be real pompous assholes, but some of them are damn good at their jobs. The only reasons I've seen for a realm to break down are either due to conflicts within the realm, or unstable forces outside it."

"But eh, what do I know. In any case, I honestly do hope this worlds ends up thriving. Both for your sake… and theirs. You do not want to see where they end up when there's no other place to go."

Arceus: I know the reason why he refuses to talk to me and I do, sometimes, wish for his guidance and support. However, he has used his vast abilities to prevent me from ever entering his universe. I’ve tried on more than one occasion, even bringing my children along in the hopes that that would convince him. Alas, he decided that it was not good enough for me to be allowed to see him again. I am hopeful, however, that I shall be successful and I will finally be able to prove that I am indeed worthy of governing a universe.

*The ancient Arceus turns towards you. There’s a mix of both shame and determination on his face.*

Arceus: If you are referring to a more multi-universal form of communication, I’ve only recently been able to gain the ability to allow that to happen. And, at the moment, I regret it. You’ve probably been one of the more polite Pokémon to enter this realm, but others have clearly come to try and make a mockery of me. They will never understand what I have had to do to get my universe to this point. Their lack of experience tells me how set in their ways they are. Perhaps I would be more willing to accept the advice of others more successful than I if they would be more courteous with their words. The youth of today should understand the phrase ‘respect your elders’ if they want to get anywhere in life.

*you can hear the slight frustration in his voice as he speaks. As much as Arceus likes to keep calm whilst speaking, he cannot help but feel annoyance towards those who do not show him the respect he thinks he deserves.*

(@ask-the-fogbound-serpent) Tempora led the both of them over to Wo-Chien, curious and eager. She had never seen treasures of ruin other then the ones who worked for their grunkle! Iter watched, slightly nervous, as Tempora spoke in a cheery tone.

"Hello! You are very fluffy!" She chirped, ignoring Iters 'oh my god Tempora you can't just call someone fluffy', "I also like your cloak! We're cloak buddies, hehe~"

"Oh wait, I have a question if you don't mind answering! I know there are typically four of you, and I was curious if you still chatted with the other treasures? I just ask because the ones back home are super close!… That is if there are four. I'm sure there's some realm with less then that, right?"

Wo: "Thank you~ I like your garment too~ Oh, and don't worry about saying that about me - I hear that from time to time, and it does make me happy~"

Wo rubbed where his chin would be as he thought.

Wo: "Well, Chien-Pao is here with me, as I chose to let him come with us. He is my oldest friend too, so he is the only other Ruin that I interact with. Both me and him really don't know where Chi-Yu or Ting-Lu are, but, one day, me and him are going to see if we can find them."

(@ask-the-fogbound-serpent) Janus did a little spin in the air, curious and playful, "Hello hello! Sorry for the spook, but I was curious as to what this place was and took a sec to pop into this realm and explore! By the way, what is this place? It's verrrrrrry pretty!" Janus paused and actually took a second to look at the group, and was pleasantly surprised by what they saw. These 'Loyal' Three seemed to be kind! Hooray! They did a couple loopty-loops to celebrate.

"Why should we tell you?" Tomo asked, glaring at the Chi-Yu. "How do we know you won't accidentally let the name slip out later on? We're not foo-"

Featuring Janus from @ask-the-fogbound-serpent!

[asktheisle]

(@ask-the-fogbound-serpent) "Hello hello! That sure was a strong swipe!" Janus chirped, floating around curiously, inspecting the two strangers, "Man, is that space energy I sense? That's pretty impressive! Maybe I should ask you to come teach the kiddos how to use it, they certainly need a tutor, haha! Well, if the boss doesn't launch you out of the woods immediately that is."

"Anyway, what are ya doing slicing through space? And where is 'here' anyway?"

[The pair's attention was immediately caught-for Alruba, the idea that there was at least a Palkia out in the world in their infancy was alluring. It wasn't often that deities were young in this day and age.]

[She quickly regained composure, eyeing Janus before they spoke up again.]

I've put many years into research on the subject of dimensions. As of now, I believe I'm on the cusp of understanding in regards to timelines... at the same time, I'm tackling my research on lineages with dragons.

I've worked on a project for many years, tracking bloodlines and finding common ancestry among the current species of dragons and those of the ancient past. All dragons descended from the ones that fell from stars, labeled here.

[She points behind Janus to the tapestry.]

Those colored dots? Those were stars that fell to this world, giving way to the dragons that we know now. I've been in pursuit of understanding these stars since I was a child.

Did you know there was a time where Thuban was the north star? Many years ago, yet not too far behind human history. Through a process called precession, it eventually gave way to the current pole star-Polaris. Some 20,000 years into the future, Thuban will be the pole star again.

[They catch themselves rambling, waving a hand dismissively.]

I'm sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself! You didn't come through that rift for a lecture.

I'm afraid I can't tell you where this is-my research is very, very valuable. If I gave away my location, who knows the motives of those who come here.

I cannot afford to lose the information that I have, not again.

[Perhaps inquire further about the stars, or the lost information?]

(( @ask-the-fogbound-serpent ))

[ask-the-royal-absol]

Destino: Oh no, I totally understand why they all scream in your face. It's all for attention. I could not have someone demanding all my time from me. My time is incredibly valuable. I'm not wasting it on someone else who can barely count to 10.

Destino: I don't think I'll ever not hate the detestable creatures. Do I want to change? Of course I don't. I'm already my best self. I couldn't be better but good try buddy.

*An audible groan can be heard escaping their mouth.*

Destino: Having a conversation. That's the same advice he'd give. Urgh, why does it always have to lead into a conversation? Why can't it just be forgotten? Perhaps I should find someone around here who can wipe memories or something. Listen, I don't think you'd want to have a conversation if you found out your best friend loved you and hadn't told you.

@ask-the-fogbound-serpent

Continued from here

“While I did say that I don’t believe myself fit to raise them on my own, I do feel comfortable doing it with the help I have." He explained. "I am one of their many guardians, not their parents. While I am an adult figure in their lives, I am also a friend and confidant. I would not ever dream of giving them away. Apologies if my wording wasn’t clear on that one.���

No matter how he loathed to admit it, Vourison saw a bit of his younger self in this Absol. A version brasher, even crueller. He didn't want Destino to repeat his own foolish mistakes, so he chose to continue speaking, despite a part of him yelling not to, to end the conversation now and leave the other pokemon be.

He only prayed his advice did not fall on deaf ears.

“However, I think the problem that, not just you, but many others have is that they struggle to see children as people. Sure, they are small and ignorant, but they are people. Reflecting upon yourself and deciding you wouldn’t be fit to raise a child is fine and healthy, in fact I commend you for it! However, if all you see is a disaster and tantrum waiting to happen, and refuse to engage with any critical thinking on why they act the way they do, then it’s going to negatively effect how you perceive them, and your people, overall.”

“Now, this isn’t meant to be an attack on yourself or anything. I applaud your maturity when it comes to knowing yourself, but a bit of reflection would probably do you some good. I've had this same problem in the past. I used to detest children. It's taken me quite a bit of time to break myself out of that mindset, but I am all the better for it."

Vourison paused at that last comment, noting the slight bitterness. “Well, since I don’t know the situation in depth, I can’t give any specific advice. But, if you cherish this friend, if you cared for them? I suggest you ask them why they kept that secret, have a real and meaningful conversation. Once all the details are laid out, then judge for yourself if that reason was good or not. It can be hard to lose someone you’re close with to conflicts like these, so if it can be prevented, you should at least try."

"This is all just my advice though. You can take it or leave it." Please don't leave it. "In any case, I do hope you repair your relationship if possible.”

@ask-the-royal-absol

[distortionmewtwo]

Sugar,

I know I shouldn't tell you this, but there's a chance that your child is going to be killed within a Proxy war between Giratina and the gods of Space and Time. While one of the rival champions pose no threat to the UV, the other might not be as kind and could wind up killing him. Your son is in grave danger!

She thought about that for a moment. Tried to decide how she felt about that statement. But then a very large shadow fell over her, and all rational thought left Sugar's mind.

Whether she took anything said to heart was unknown- Sugar had taken one look at Vourison and fled. She knew better than to hang around, to try and tangle with such a Rayquaza. She had already been smacked to the ground, ridiculed and insulted.... any wise mon would have run by now, right?? Whateve the case, Sugar was gone, and a distance away, Ultraviolet was still sound asleep....

But this wouldn't last for much longer, as unbeknownst to you, night had shifted to dawn, and Ultraviolet awoke with the sun. He stretched and yawned, bright pink eyes falling upon the little gathered and widening with delight, then confusion.

"JJ? U? Vourison..? What are you all doing here?"

Sugar has left and Ultraviolet has awoken.
