Chapter 634: Her and His Mission [Their Story (7)]
The last war was a long time ago, and even the people at that time did not have many means to record the horrific scenes of world destruction.
At that time, it seemed that humans did not have enough ability to participate in it, and could only act as victims on the periphery, facing a disaster like the end of the world, and trying hard to survive.
The sky is gloomy - chaotic despair hangs over everyone, and in the distant sea, the bodies of dragons and gods will shatter some hopes.
But at that time, hope was shattered unilaterally, and the humble creatures could only stand by and watch, unable to even fight for their own survival.
Can’t do…?
When catastrophe strikes the world and lives are destroyed, that’s when heroes rise up.
Whenever the end of the world comes, there are always people who are unwilling to sink into their inevitable fate - even if they know that they are weak, they will always lead those who are unwilling to bow to disaster and unwilling to hand over their lives to others.
A man of noble character and benevolence will not seek to live at the expense of others, but will rather kill to achieve benevolence.
They will unite all the forces around them. Perhaps at that time, humans and elves cannot get along in a friendly manner. In the face of disaster, the previous disputes over territory or resources no longer exist.
Just to survive.
The giant beasts walking on land bring high temperatures and lava that can completely melt people, and the giant beasts swimming in the sea bring raging waves that cover half the sky.
The vibration of space, the chaos of time - all appeared one by one in that place.
Between the golden wheels in the sky, existences that people could not understand continued to appear one after another... In the repeated collisions, humans and elves seemed to have seen the body of the devil.
This is the end of the world, the deepest darkness before destruction.
…………
Even flying at low altitude, one can still feel the fear from the deepest part of one's blood.
This is the first warning of the dragon-attributed elves when facing danger - they know that many of the giant beasts in the sky are powerful dragons, which they are no match for.
"Holy beast... please guide us in the direction of light..."
The two-legged beast in simple clothes knelt before the two elves, with his face toward the ground, and bowed his head in worship.
The younger sister looked at her brother - she didn't understand what choice he would make under such circumstances.
The two of them were indeed worshipped by these two-legged beasts...but faced with the natural disaster-like scene, they were completely helpless.
Perhaps at their speed, they could indeed leave here safely, but what about these two-legged beasts who lived with them day and night and gave them the best food and drink?
They don't have the speed to leave this continent like me.
【I want to stay.】
The elder brother finally made this decision with a firm and unwavering look in his eyes.
[Since they worship me as a sacred beast... then in this time of danger, it is my responsibility to protect them. If I abandon them and run away alone now, it will only leave scars in my heart, and I will be ashamed of the person who created us and gave us the name of sacred beasts.]
This is the teaching from my brother, and I dare not forget it.
【but. 】
Ok?
The sister looked at her brother, but his kind and loving eyes made her feel cold all over.
[I am your brother, I should leave you hope. ]
Eh?
[It is impossible for the two of us to completely quell the disaster alone... You don't have to waste your energy on it. ]
[It is said that when our clan runs out of power, they will turn into treasures and sink into the sea. If you are willing, you can find the last trace of me by then.]
[Now, go to sleep. When you wake up, the world will become bright and warm. ]
She grabbed her brother's hand, but felt more and more powerless.
In a trance, she saw her body transform into a shining drop of water, which then penetrated into her brother's arms and she lost consciousness.
Treasures…of the sea…and drops of water.
This was the last thought she had before she lost consciousness.
…………
The darkness was shrouded by the gentle light. Even though one roared and madly in it, one still could not break through this gentle cage.
There is no way to disrupt it, only blockade.
When the world fell into darkness again, flames from the east split the sky and a long howl resounded throughout the world.
When the original intention has changed, black and white cannot be distinguished, chaos comes again, the light is dim and the mind is confused.
The disaster will come again, sweeping away all the disloyalty, discord, injustice, and unkindness in the world——
The right of all living beings to survive will also be taken away.
This is the anger and punishment from the God of Creation.
…………
When the delicate body was bathed in the warm sun again, the gradually opening eyes were unexpectedly met with the sky full of flowers and tender leaves.
She seemed to have forgotten the disaster that had happened and lived in this world as a carefree being.
Faced with the new and wonderful world, happiness and joy once again occupied her heart, and her fear and uneasiness about this era gradually diminished.
Maybe she forgot what happened in the past - she didn't want to care, she wanted to take a good look at the world.
A completely different world from the one I once seemed to have existed in.
She had flown across every continent…and every ocean.
She felt so happy, and indulged in the gentleness of the world every day.
Time cannot completely erase the past, it can only fade it.
When she finally saw her groupmates... and also saw that her sisters from the same tribe all had a brother who cared for them and would accompany them around the world, she suddenly thought -
Where is my brother?
Where is my brother? Why can't I remember anything?
She thought about this question every day and night... She had been thinking about it ever since she saw the figure that appeared and left with the other red planes.
Why don’t I have a brother like this by my side?
I have witnessed the beauty and diversity of the world, the grandeur of the mountains and rivers, and the waves of the sea and sky.
Every time I go to a place, I meet new partners and make more friends——
But no one went with her.
She was looking for a companion who could travel with her. She didn't want to be alone.
She did find one. It came from a night when she was alone on a meadow looking at the stars. She made a wish to the starry sky. The starry sky responded to her and gave her a little guy in the universe... He stumbled into her lonely life.
[My name is Jirachi~ What's your name~]
She was ecstatic! This was simply a gift from the Creator God!
Wait…Who is the Creator God? Who cares! The one who gave me my friend is a good person!
She thought so...but changed her mind seven days later.
God of Creation, you are a bad guy!
Why would you take back the friend you gave me? Why!
She cried until her eyes were swollen...she fell asleep only after she had cried too much and had no more strength left.
But when she woke up, she thought about how her good friend, for whom she had given everything, was taken away from her just like that - and she cried "heartbreakingly" again.
She was tired and liked to sleep.
Just sleep…while you sleep you have the opportunity to see time with Him again.
The memory of the seven days kept repeating... so much so that she could no longer tell what time it was. She only saw another strange blue plane floating in her and Jirachi's memory from time to time.
She was extremely shocked - she even had a hunch that this was her brother, but when she tried to look for him in her memory... she couldn't find any more traces.
The passage of time made her much stronger than her brother. The more she dug into the depths of her memory, the more she realized something was wrong...
But she won't give up, and she doesn't want to give up! Because as long as she finds her brother in her memory, she will definitely figure out where her brother is. Then she can go find her brother and see the world with him again -
But she couldn't find her brother.
Her brother had sunk to the bottom of the sea for that so-called mission and turned into a treasure.
Latias was disheartened.
What is this teardrop-shaped treasure?
I have already flown to every corner of the world, every inch of land, every ocean... and have never heard a single word of the story. So where can I find this treasure? !
Where would my brother be?
And even if he found it, would he still have to complete the mission? Would he not be able to save his brother?
She hated herself so much for not staying in each place longer when she flew around the world... Then maybe she would have heard a clue and found her brother now.
Nor would I be... shrouded in such deep despair.
…………
"Do you know - what legends are there in Lesion, the city of desserts? The kind that are currently recorded."
"It seems that there is... but it is not complete. It seems that the legends do not clearly state which kind of elves it comes from."
[Hmm~ Then what I thought should be right~ The term "Water City" is simply a synonym for the red and blue plane~]
[Although the drops of water in your heart are hard to come by...well~ for the sake of the little plane, it's worth fighting for it. 】
[The gift for Little Plane must be impressive! Hey~ Of course, it would be even better if I could find the Infinity Flute...]
She had no intention of listening to the rest of the conversation, she just leaned her head over and met his raised eyes.
His hands were warm and broad - although she didn't know where all the rough calluses on them came from, such kneading only made her feel more intimate and at ease.
[What's the matter? ]
I asked in a pretentious manner.
"Yeah~ It's okay~"
He smiled warmly, which made Latias hate himself even more for wanting to betray him so easily for that ridiculous obsession at that moment, almost to the point of nausea.
I really feel so disgusting...but I don't want to leave you.
