Blood of the Covenant - Original Fiction

When I was in high school, we were given an assignment to create a piece that was reverent and horrifying. Something that would make others anxious and live the piece. This was borne from that assignment.

The first kill. It always brings about heightened emotions, heightened senses, adrenaline and regret in several, egregious waves.

The first one feels the adrenaline wear thin, the feeling of sticky wet blood clinging to your fingers makes your stomach churn and a sickly bile to scratch at the back of your throat. You want to vomit, but you can’t, it won’t come. It just sits there, threatening to come and spill from your parted lips. You attempt to take in steady breaths, but you find yourself beginning to hyperventilate, gulps of air coming deep, fast and raggedly ripping themselves from your raw throat and out your mouth again.

The second wave brings an itch. The feeling of regret and fear begins to claw its way under your skin, running back and forth along your hammering veins. The blood roars in your ears as an army of ants trails to and fro through your arms and legs.

Finally, the realization crashes over you.

And you scream. Then you scream more when your hands run through your hair, staining it red with the life force of another. Shaky digits grip at hair, uprooting the strands like trees from a forest.

The final wave, acceptance, doesn’t come until much later. When you’ve screamed as much as you can scream, you’ve cried and mourned the loss of life in front of you. You pull yourself from the pool you’ve created, drag yourself into the shower to finally rinse your sin from your skin and scrub your wrongdoings away. You finally allow yourself to let go, refocus and continue on as if it never happened. Until it happens again. And again.

That’s how your nightmare begins. And it will never end.

Zinnia returned. Suddenly, Bede and Cynthia were here, too.

“...” Cynthia shook her head. “The fact that this was her idea in the first place makes me wonder... what exactly does she have to gain from this?”

“Beats me, really. Maybe she wants to prove herself?”

“Zinnia....”

--

Meanwhile, in the center....

“You know, Zinnia.... Now that I can finally speak to you as myself, may I ask a couple of questions form you?”

Zinnia started stretching. “Sure. Go ahead.”

“So, how are my babies doing? Are you all still isolating like before?”

Zinnia smiled and nodded. “They’re doing alright. Granny’s been keeping ‘em busy, especially during the holidays. We’re still isolated from the rest of Hoenn, but some people have slowly started to leave the village to talk with the rest of Hoenn. We even provide some Dragon-type Pokémon to the trainer school.”

“Good. Good! I am so happy to hear that there is at least some progress towards more interaction with the region.” She sighed. “Oh, how I cannot wait until I see them again.” She glared at Rayquaza. “Lord Dragon willing, of course.”

... I will break the seal to our village when this is over. You have my word.

“Aww~. Look at you. Perhaps your brain is not full of mold, after all~.” Zuki giggled.

Rayquaza groaned.

“Now, this is my final plea: I want for you to be aware that you do not need to do this. From your interactions with Rayquaza, I can tell that the two of you are close -- perhaps even closer than he and I have ever been. I know that he and I are in the middle of a fight over you, and I know that we have put you in a terrible position. For that, I apologize; however, please do not use this wager as a ending position on our matter. While I will keep you to your word, I... do not want for you to believe that I actively wish peril of your bond... at least, not anymore. I... just wish for the truth to be known within my children and to return to them.”

Zinnia shook her head. “Thanks for the change of heart and for the concern, but I’m not doing this for you, or for him. This battle is for myself.” Zinnia shook her head. “I want to prove to myself that I have what it takes to be with Rayquaza... that my bond with him exceeds any obstacle, triumphs over any dragon tamer... even if it means fighting the legend herself.”

“...” Zuki stood there in silence. Zinnia’s words brought back something within her. After all of this time of knowing her, and all of the adventures that she’s been through, there was still something about Zinnia’s resolve the felt... familiar. “Alright then.”

Zuki smirked before switching her garb. It was about to get serious.

“Then let’s see how far your faith goes.”

You are challenged by Lorekeeper Kiku!

Kiwi purred as she was being held, like she was a kitten, but she just nuzzled into him and closed her eyes. She worried too long, she worked almost constantly ,and honestly she just needed to lay there and cuddle for the moment.

“ I need a vacation”

Bede is here to give her a little preen on top of the head and lightly chirrup, Oh he'd been busy but he still had to take time to see one of his favorite people, He has brought part of a wailord for her to enjoy as a gift and his feathers are still dripping just slightly with water.

"Oh! Hello, Bede!"

It was impossible to be down for long with her Bede there, making her let out a purr-like rumble from running his beak through her hair.

She flops down on her side, inviting him to cuddle with her on the beach in front of the partial carcass he's brought her. "My, my, my, is all of this for me?"

@bloodofthecovenants​ Continued from this ASK

He doesn’t bother with a response to his choice in wording, clearly his agitated appearance and slowly reddening face should have given an answer to his current problems. But...he still managed to answer some of that, an obvious low growl leaving his lips in the process.

“Not that it came on quicker....it’s been building up for a little while...finally could’t deal with it anymore...” He admitted, awaiting a scolding from the Guardian at his stubbornness in this matter. Luckily neither him, or Gira would have to wait much longer, being confined to his bed with psychic energy. He knew Gira wouldn’t like it this way, but he didn’t care, he just needed this to stop as soon as possible. He did try to tug at his restraints...there was no way he would be able to wriggle out of them or break the others hold on him. Even if Gira were to take control...being in his body, he wouldn’t be able to do much...even if he could feel Gira shifting around, moving to Sync up with him. 

 “Please...” It was a quiet beg, but he knew the other heard him, trying to shift his hips as soon as Bede got on top of them.

The tiny girl giggled and nuzzled against the Lugia “Me and my pokemon have been great! Heh Were leaning all kinds of battles! But mostly playing”

[mxstball]

“...well at least I can tell he is his mother’s son.” Venus blinked blankly before finally addressing the very being that she came here to summon. “Eh-hem. Hello, Little Lugia... My apologies that we have yet to met until now, but I am your aunt Venus, and this is one of my apprentices, Zuki.”

“...Hello, Lugia.” Zuki bowed.

“I received news that you have recently begun to become active in the region, so I wanted to greet you myself. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

She’ll stay reserved, at least for this first meeting, just to not get Bede startled.

“Well if nobody ELSE is going to stop him from murdering his kidney’s then i shall.”

“Oh? Who is Kidney and does the child need help with the murdering? I am excellent at making bodies disappear.”
