Mere moments after she silently landed right next to a sleeping Light, Nox cast a muffling spell on herself, just in case she was not quiet enough, and gently lifted their mane off their front leg to find Boom's bracelet; but while it appeared to be little more than an unadorned piece of jewellery, now she looked more closely, Nox vaguely sensed the strange enchantment that had been cast upon it.

Though it was faint, and she only just managed to notice anything even through great focus, she was certain that the magic used was Ancient, akin to spells that she had been taught by both her Mother and her Mentor; but although she did not know whether Boom had created the bracelet himself, or had merely found it somewhere, it mattered not, as the foulness within him could not eavesdrop on them.

With great caution as to not wake up either Light or any of the others of their company, Nox placed her paws on the bracelet, and quietly whispered one of the very first incantations she ever learnt, which briefly caused the bracelet to glow with a pleasant warmth, before it dimmed again; and after she carefully snuck out of their small camp, when she got far enough away, she let out a deep sigh.

Unless one was the creator of the magic enchantment in question, it was far harder to break a spell or curse that had been cast upon an item than merely warding its effects, shielding the wearer from the negatives that could affect them; and while she knew not for how long her own spell would last, nor whether it had actually worked, Nox tried to think of a white lie as Nox flew back to the rock.

Fortunately, since he saw how tired she was when she offered to take over the watch, she could tell Boom that she had merely fallen asleep if she suddenly appeared in his dreams, or close to them, if his mind was akin to that of Discord, and forbidden from entry; and in the brief window of time she wandered in the Realm of Dreams, she could talk to Light, and Shining, and all the others, as well.

Although she was not certain that the Realm of Dreams was as safe and isolated as the Spirit Realm, especially since her Mother and she had led beings out of their own dreams before, she figured that it was one of the safest options to see if her idea had worked; so after she made sure that Nuntius was still resting beneath her wing, Nox closed her eyes, and let herself enter the Realm of Dreams.

The array of colours around her almost made her believe she had entered the Spirit Realm again, had it not been for a couple of doors that stood close to her, all unique in their shape, size, colour, and even the material of which they were made; and as she walked past doors of rock, fire, crystal, and wood, she could easily tell which door would bring her to whose dreams, save for a single door.

Some distance past the end of the row of doors stood a foul emptiness, but as she slowly approached it, Nox could tell that it was trying to push her away, and she figured that it would lead her into the mind of Boom, if she tried hard enough; but when she found her balance, and she peered into the darkness from a distance, she saw nothing but a faint figure standing motionlessly in the distance.

While Nox was not unfamiliar with the sight of faceless beings, having studied for many aeons under Grim, something about the faint and featureless figure almost froze her heart, and she quickly dove aside when it slowly turned towards her; and as she crawled away in fear, and hid behind one of the doors, Nox quietly prayed to forget the chilling image of its unnatural movement and hollowed eyes.

Whatever the terrifying figure was, Nox knew that it was not of any Realm she knew, not Waking, nor Spirit, nor the Realm of Dreams in which she sat, where she felt her heart beat faster than she had ever thought possible; and her only relief was that the foul darkness did not seem to grow past the doorway, but she preferred not to wait, so she quickly opened the door that had been shielding her.

As she leaned against the door, Nox waited for her heart to calm down, when she heard a faint echo:

"...bark bark..."

When the little Wisp beneath her wing gave her a simple and quick spin, Luna quietly let out a deep sigh of relief, reassured that Nuntius would not utter a word to Nox, for which she sweetly thanked him as she laid down to let herself and him rest for a while; but it did not take Nuntius very long before he started to stir awake again, slowly wiggling his way to freedom from underneath her wing.

Fortunately, even though she briefly chuckled and quivered at the tickling feeling of his movement, Luna did not awaken from her sleep, and Nuntius turned around to fly the great distance back to his mistress, but he did not leave; and instead, he gently bumped against her forehead, which brought a warm smile to her face, and told her, even through her sleep, that he would be back with news soon.

Although flying all the way across the Eastern Sea would cost far too much time and energy for even the strongest of beings, it took Nuntius but a fraction of that time to return to Nox by travelling through the Spirit Realm; but he swiftly realised that he had spent close to all of the strength he had left, even after resting with Luna for a while, and he would need far more time to recover now.

For now, however, those worries were yet ahead of him, and while he did feel the need to slow down, he safely made it back to Nox, where he reappeared in front of her in the Waking Realm, both to her immense relief, and surprise, before she warmly embraced him; and she held him in her arms for just a little bit longer than usual, as she had started to fear that something terrible happened to him.

Eventually, after she let go of Nuntius, and had cleaned her face of tears, Nox softly asked him if her Mother had given him anything to pass on, only for him to slowly dance and twirl around to tell her that Luna was all right, as were all the others back in the Empire; and he was safe through the Spirit Realm, but since he had so drastically hastened himself hither, he could barely fly anymore.

As he landed on her paws, Nox noticed that his Flame had grown dimmer, and when he shivered moments later, despite her best efforts to hold in her tears, she quietly sobbed, and asked him to rest for as long as he truly needed; and she promised she would keep an eye on him, if not both, as often as she could spare them, before she helped the little Wisp to his most favourite place under her wing.

But when she did not feel anything, Nox realised that he was so tired, he was even unable to tickle her when he nestled himself in, so she closed her eyes, and focused on her breathing to refocus her energy to the little Wisp; and while she knew not how much it would help him, she would keep giving him some energy until she saw with her own eyes that he was strong enough to fly around unassisted.

Even though she would love to join him and rest, she could not, for not only had she taken the duty upon herself to keep watch over the group for the night, but thanks to Grim's interference, she did not even feel tired; but while she would not mind sleeping until the Sun rose again, the silence of the night allowed her to think about what laid ahead of them yet, and what she had to look out for.

What she worried above all else, though, was a way to reach out to the group to warn them about the danger that Boom and the dark presence within him posed to them, but without either of them finding out what she was telling them; but while she could carefully wake up the others one by one to speak with them, the risk of waking up Boom was too great to attempt this, and she sighed in frustration.

Even Light, the only one of the group who had a direct connection to her through the Amulet she had given them, could only be reached through the Void, which she knew was not unreachable for Boom, as Boom had a way to reach out to them, through the bracelet they wore; but when she looked their way, she wondered whether she could somehow sever the link he had with that bracelet to block his Sight.

After some time of debating with herself, Nox took a deep breath, and quietly flew over to Light…

Random Pokemon Legends: Z-A theories

Gameplay

Gameplay will be basically the same as Legends: Arceus, except with Abilities and held items. Maybe you could redesign the Mega Evolution system so that you just need a Mega Stone in the bag, but changing Abilities is key to how a lot of Megas are so interesting and different from their originals.

Starters

Grass starter: Snivy. New regional Serperior will be Grass/Ice type ("its cold and aloof demeanor manifests quite literally"). Signature move will be "Polar Vortex," an Ice-type version of Leaf Tornado (wind move that decreases accuracy). Ability will be Snow Cloak, but change to Ice Scales on Mega Evolving.

Fire starter: Scorbunny. New regional Cinderace will be Fire/Rock type (described as a construction worker that likes to slack off with impromptu soccer games as a working-class counterpart to the other starters being more aristocratic). Signature move will be "Pumice Punt," kicking a rock like a soccer ball. Ability will be Technician.

Water starter: Piplup. New regional Empoleon will be Water/Psychic type (uses psychic powers to command armies of Piplup and Prinplup). Signature move will be "Domination," a psychic move that corrodes the target's willpower. This will lower their offensive stats and/or make them drowsy. Ability will be Stalwart, but change to Supreme Overlord on Mega Evolving.

Other Megas

The Kalos starters will all get Megas. Mega Chesnaught gets Dauntless Shield (alternatively, if they don't want to step on Zamazenta's toes, Battle Armor). Mega Delphox gets Magic Guard. Mega Greninja gets Infiltrator (unless they wanna just retrofit Ash-Greninja into a Mega and give it Battle Bond.

Xerneas and Yveltal will also get Megas. Zygarde will not.

At least one or two new Megas will be for regional variants of Pokemon that already had Megas (example: Mega Galarian Slowbro).

The "A" Pokemon

"A" will be a squirrel based on Ratatoskr. My idea for the name is "Anuntros" (A + nuntius ("messenger" in Latin) + σκίουρος/skíouros ("squirrel" in Greek)). Not sure on the type, but the design of the A in the logo indicates it might be Grass? If you wanna stretch, maybe connect Anuntros to the Ultimate Weapon and have it be made of crystal, thus Rock type?

Anuntros will be based around chaos (vs. Zygarde's order), and have the ability "Chaos Aura," which inverts type matchups--an homage to XY's Inverse Battles and certainly quite chaotic. Said ability will be cancelled out by Aura Break, making that ability slightly more useful and tying "A" to the "aura trio" more.

Papa Emeritus IV - Part 27

Min Heyoka (@TheWitcheswitch89) - Wattpad

You hear the name through the door. 

Your eyes widen and you get up to open it and stand next to Copia. "Where is she?"

Copia furrowed his brow, a look of concern on his face. "Sister Madison, hmm? That's not good... Follow me, quickly."

He started down the corridor, gesturing for you and Terzo to follow. "She's being held in the library right now. We had to restrain her, she's quite belligerent."

You started to run past Copia and Terzo.

Copia and Terzo exchanged surprised glances as you suddenly ran down the corridor.

"H-hey, wait! Don't go alone!" Copia called after you, but you were already several meters ahead of him. Cursing under his breath, he picked up the pace and hurried down the hall after you, Terzo close behind.

You ran fast, worried about Madison.

You raced through the halls of the Ministry, your feet practically flying across the floor as you pushed yourself to move faster. Your heart raced with concern for Madison, fueled by an intense sense of urgency. You could hear Copia and Terzo calling after you, but you barely paid attention. All that mattered was getting to Madison as fast as possible.

You reached the library and stopped. There was Madison standing in the middle of the library, surrounded by the other Papas. They were trying to calm her down, she had a wicked grin on her face, her hair was a mess. She stood there screaming...her voice not her own, much darker, almost a growl. "Non potes prohibere me...nuntium ad liberandum habeo....!" she said in Latin....

Your heart sank at the sound of Madison's distorted voice. The dark, guttural tone was unlike anything you had ever heard before, and it sent shivers down your spine. The realization hit you that she was indeed possessed, and the sinister message in Latin made your stomach turn.

Copia and Terzo caught up with you, panting heavily as they took in the scene.

Primo raised his hands..." What message, demon?"

Madison's menacing grin grew wider, her eyes flickering an unnatural shade of red. At that moment, it became clear that she was no longer in control of her own body or mind.

"Nuntius ad liberandum," she repeated in that dark, sinister voice. Her head tilted unnaturally to the side, almost as if studying Primo intently.

Copia's eyes widen and he steps over to the other papas with Terzo.

Copia, Terzo and the other Papas exchanged worried glances, the gravity of the situation sinking in even more. They huddled together, keeping their voices low so as not to attract Madison's attention. Copia's face was tense and serious, his eyes darting between the possessed sister and the other Elders.

"Do you know what she's talking about?" Copia whispered to the others, his voice barely above a murmur.

Madison's head snapped at Copia.

Copia's blood froze in his veins as Madison's head snapped in his direction with eerie speed. His heart pounded against his chest as those cold, calculating eyes locked on him.

"Cazzo... she heard us," he murmured, his face paler than usual.

Her eyes scanned the room...then found you.

Madison's eyes scanned the room, moving with almost robotic precision as she took in everyone. Then they landed on you.

Her gaze fixed on you, and a mischievous smile crept across her face. At that moment, it was as if all her attention was on you and you alone.

Copia tensed when he saw the shift in Madison's focus. He knew that look in her eyes all too well.

"She's zeroing in on you," he said urgently, his voice low. "Stand back, mia cara. Let us handle this."

You could not move, you just stared at your friend.

Copia placed a gentle but firm hand on your shoulder, trying to pull you back to safety.

"Mia cara, listen to me," he said, his eyes fixed on Madison. "You need to get away. It's not safe for you here. Let us deal with this."

Madison screamed. "Immo stat!"

Copia's eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and fear crossing his face as he heard Madison's command in Latin.

"No, wait-" he started to say, but it was too late. Madison's voice echoed through the room, her words ringing out in a clear, cold tone that sent a shiver down Copia's spine.

"Immo stat..." Copia repeated under her breath, bracing herself for what was to come.

You did not understand what she was saying...you could understand a few words in Latin...but no more. "What did she say?" you asked Copia. Madsion growled and looked at you.

Copia looked away from Madison for a moment to answer your question.

"She said... 'stay.'" He paused for a moment, his eyes darting back to Madison, who was now fixated on you. "She commands you to stay, mia cara. Don't come any closer."

"Copia claudite!" she growled at Copia. "Haec nuntius est illis," she pointed her finger at you.

Copia's eyes widened as he heard Madison's command, and he felt his heart skip a beat. "Claudite..." The gravity of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks, and he felt a chilling sense of dread wash over him.

Before he could answer, she pointed her finger at him, and Copia's mind immediately went into overdrive. "No, no, no, no, no..." he muttered under his breath.

"What does she mean...? "you asked, looking at the other Papas in panic.

Copia's face paled as he took in your panicked expression. The other Papas looked equally alarmed, their expressions a mixture of worry and fear.

"She's... She says the message is for you," Copia finally managed to say, his voice strained. His eyes darted between you and Madison, his mind racing as he tried to find a way to protect you.

"What message?" you asked in panic, but then you felt a hand at your throat. But there were no hands. you looked at madison. she had raised her hand as if to choke the air. you felt your feet leave the ground and you floated towards her.

"What is she saying? " you asked, looking at the other Papas in panic.

Copia's eyes widened when he heard Madison's command and he felt his heart skip a beat. "Claudite..." The gravity of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks, and he felt a chilling sense of dread wash over him.

Copia's face paled as he took in your panicked expression. The other Elders looked equally alarmed, their expressions a mixture of worry and fear.

"She's... She says the message is for you," Copia finally managed to say, his voice strained. His eyes darted between you and Madison, his mind racing as he tried to find a way to protect you.

"What message?" you asked in panic, but then you felt a hand at your throat. But there were no hands. you looked at madison. she had raised her hand as if to choke the air. you felt your feet leave the ground and you floated towards her.

Copia's eyes widened in horror as he saw you suddenly lifted off the ground by an invisible force. His heart clenched in his chest as he watched you hover closer and closer to Madison, the realization dawning on him that she was using some sort of dark power to bring you to her.

"No, no, no!" he cried, stepping forward and reaching out to grab you. "Stop! You can't do this!"

Her hands wrapped around your throat as you reached her. The other Elders gasped in shock.

Copia's heart raced with fear as he watched Madison's dark hands wrap around your neck, his eyes widening in horror. The other Papas gasped in disbelief, their faces paler than usual.

"Let her go!" Copia yelled, his voice filled with a mixture of desperation and anger. "Put her down, NOW!"

Terzo stepped forward. But Nihil stopped him with his hand. "Wait!"

Copia's breathing was labored as he watched you dangling in the air, fists clenched at your sides. He shot a pleading look at Terzo, the fear in his eyes evident.

But then Nihil stepped in and stopped Terzo, holding his hand up in a gesture of restraint. Copia's heart clenched in his chest as he waited, not knowing what to expect.

"I have a message for you ... from Lilith," Madison said, speaking English as her hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Copia's eyes widened in shock as he heard Madison suddenly speak English. It was surreal and unnerving, and the mention of Lilith sent a shiver down his spine. He could see the panic in your eyes as you struggled for air, your hand clutching desperately at Madison's wrist.

Copia's mind raced, trying to make sense of what was happening. The situation was getting more dangerous by the second, and he felt powerless to do anything about it.

"She sent me to tell you...that there is no way to hide from her...even if she cannot reach you when you are with Copia...she will find a way!" laughed Madison.

Copia's heart skipped a beat when he heard Madison's chilling words. The mention of Lilith's determination to reach you, no matter the circumstances, sent a shiver down his spine.

He clenched his fists, a deep frown creasing his face. "What does she mean, no place to hide?" Copia shouted, his voice filled with anger. "What is she planning?"

Madison's head snapped to Copia, who was still in her grip. "You'll see soon enough!"

Copia's heart pounded in his chest as he heard Madison's ominous words. The way she looked at him sent a shiver down his spine, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

He took a step forward, his voice strained with worry. "What do you mean, 'soon'? What's going to happen?"

You choked. "Madison...? Madison let me go!"

Copia's heart ached as he watched you struggle against Madison's grip, your voice hoarse and strained from the pressure around your throat.

He stepped forward again, desperation in his eyes. "Stop! You're hurting her! Let her go!"

Madison's head snapped back to you. "I'm not Madison....Remember my words, Lia...," Madison grinned. Her head snapped back and she let go of your throat. You fell to the ground with a loud thud, gasping for air. As Madison collapsed next to you.

Copia rushed over as soon as you were freed from Madison's grip, dropping to his knees beside you as you sprawled on the floor. He gently helped you up into a sitting position, his hand cupping the back of your head as he held you close.

"Mia cara, are you okay? Can you breathe?" Copia asked, his voice trembling with concern. He looked at the others, his eyes dark with anger.

tears rolling down your face, "Madison!" you said in a strained voice, choking.

Copia held you tightly as you spoke, his heart twisting in his chest at the strain in your voice. He could see the worry and fear etched into your face, and it only fueled his own anger and worry.

"I know, I know," he whispered softly, trying to calm you. "It's okay, just breathe. Madison's safe now. Just breathe. Slowly, okay?"

The other Elders rushed to Madison's body.

Copia held you gently as the other Papas rushed to Madison's motionless body. They huddled around her, confusion and worry etched on their faces.

Copia looked up at the other Papas, his eyes wide with concern. "Wh-what's happening? Is she...?"

Before the other Papas could answer Copia's question, something changed in the air. Suddenly, Madison's eyes fluttered open and she let out a soft moan as she slowly sat up.

The other Papas jumped back in surprise, shock written all over their faces. Copia's grip on you tightened as he watched the scene unfold before him.

Madison slowly sat up, her eyes unfocused and her movements sluggish. She looked dazed and disoriented, seemingly unaware of the others watching her intently.

Copia exchanged glances with the other Papas, all of them equally puzzled and suspicious. Something was wrong, and they could sense it.

"Madsison?" they said.

Madison slowly looked up at the sound of your voice, her eyes still somewhat unfocused and dazed. She blinked a few times, trying to clear her head, and then recognition flooded her eyes.

She looked at you, a mixture of confusion and relief on her face. "What...? What happened...?"

you cried, leaving Copia to crawl over and hug her.

Copia watched as you left his side and crawled over to Madison, tears streaming down your face as you wrapped your arms around her in a tight hug.

Madison was taken aback, but she slowly returned the hug, her arms wrapped around you in a gentle but firm embrace. "It's okay... I'm okay..." she murmured, her voice hoarse and strained.

Copia stood aside, a mixture of relief and caution on his face. He watched you cling to Madison, his heart still racing from the earlier ordeal.

The other Elders began to murmur among themselves, their voices low and hushed. Copia caught glimpses of their conversation, worried words and speculation filling the air.

He approached them to hear what they were saying.

Copia approached the other Papas, his ears straining to hear their conversation. They huddled together, their faces pale and worried.

"What just happened...?" one of them whispered, his voice low.

"Is she okay? What was that...whatever that was?" asked another, his eyes still on Madison and you.

Copia joined the circle, his voice soft but urgent. "Do you think... Do you think Lilith had anything to do with this?"

"Yes, she did!" said Copia.

The other Elders looked up at Copia, surprised at his sudden assertion. They nodded in agreement, the realization that Lilith was behind this ordeal sinking in.

"That's what I thought..." muttered Primo, his face paler than usual.

Terzo added, "This is worse than we thought..."

They looked at you and Madison.

The Elders' eyes were all on you and Madison, still embracing on the floor. The room was eerily silent, except for the sound of soft sobs coming from you.

Copia's heart ached at the sight, his concern for you and Madison growing with each passing moment. He could tell that the other Elders felt the same way.

"We need to get her to the infirmary...and make sure she stays away from Sister Lia...we need to do an exorcism to make sure the demon is really gone!" whispered Nihil.

The Elders nodded in agreement, their faces serious as they absorbed Nihil's words. Copia clenched his fists, his mind racing with worry and anger.

"You're right," he said, his voice tense. "We must get them to the infirmary, and quickly. I don't want to take any chances with Lilith still involved."

Copia made his way over to you and Madison, his heart heavy with worry and trepidation. He crouched down beside you and gently placed a hand on your shoulder.

"Mia cara," he said softly, "we need to get Madison to the infirmary. We need to make sure she's okay... and safe."

"I'm going with her!" you said.

Terzo shook his head, his expression stern and worried. "No, no. You can't go with her. It's too dangerous. We don't know if the demon is really gone."

You looked at Madison, who looked back at you with fear in her eyes.

Madison looked back at you, her eyes filled with fear and uncertainty. She was pale and shaken, and the sight pained you. But Terzo's warning rang in your ears. You knew he was right; it was too dangerous to accompany her to the infirmary.

"I cannot leave you alone!" you said to Madison, both of you crying.

Madison's tears continued to fall, her voice trembling and strained. She gripped your hand tightly, her fingers intertwined with yours.

"Please..." she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "Don't leave me alone... I'm afraid..."

Terzo's voice was firm and determined as he intervened once more. "I'm sorry, but it's too risky. The safest thing is for you to stay here while we take care of Madison. We'll make sure she's safe and treated properly."

"No!" you said. Madison closed her eyes and slowly realized that Terzo was right.

Madison squeezed your hand gently, her eyes slowly opening as she realized the truth in Terzo's words. She looked up at you, her expression pained.

"It's... it's okay," she whispered, her voice soft and resigned. "I'll be fine... just... stay safe, okay?"

The other Elders approached her. You shook your head. "No, but she's fine...!"

The other Papas approached Madison, their expressions serious and determined. Copia put a gentle hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her.

"We don't know," he said, his voice low and firm. "We must be careful. This is not something we can take lightly. We have to evaluate her properly."

Primo helped Madsion to her feet, still shaking. Madsion looked at you. "I'll be fine!"

Primo helped Madison to her feet, his strong and sturdy frame providing support. Madison continued to shake, her face pale and her eyes glassy. She turned to you, her voice soft and reassuring despite her own fear.

"Yes... I will be fine. You don't have to worry."

The fear and panic in Madison's eyes were obvious, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. Even through her reassurances and brave facade, you could see the worry and terror that lay beneath the surface.

"Let's go, Sister Madison," Primo said, wrapping her around his waist and leading her out of the library. The other Papas followed. But Terzo stayed with her and Copia.

Primo led Madison out of the library, the other Papas following closely behind. Terzo stayed behind with Copia and you, his eyes fixed on you as he watched you struggle with your emotions.

"I know this is difficult," Terzo said. "But it's for her own safety."

"You better stay with her, Copia! It seems that Lilith cannot reach her when she is with you...I do not know why...but we have to keep her safe!", Terzo said, nodding to Copia.

Copia nodded in agreement with Terzo's order. He shared the same concern for Madison's safety, knowing that Lilith's influence was still a threat.

"I will not leave her side," Copia replied. "I will do everything in my power to keep her safe and out of Lilith's reach."

You grabbed Copia and buried your face in his chest.

Copia wrapped his arms around you and held you tightly against his chest. He could feel your fear and sadness, and it pained him to know that there was little he could do to ease your worries.

"It's okay," he murmured softly, his voice gentle and soothing. "I'm here. Madison will be fine."

Terzo nodded again. "I'll talk to you later," and he followed the others out of the library. Copia and you returned to his apartment.

I'm sending this correspondence via my messenger wisp Nuntius because frankly, I don't trust you.

But your methods of feeding on fear are ruthless and heartless at best.

I've dealt with many types of Phobophages (creatures who feed on fear) and I know they can coexist but... You go about it in the way many others do by causing said fear yourself and with harm to others.

I seriously hope you can find a way to get the fear you need without harming others.

Funny, my way of collecting what I need to survive is working pretty well for me, so, I don't see a problem~ I only harm the ones that deserve it, so what's the big deal?~
