Blood pounded a steady drumbeat in Morrigan’s ears as he heard the footsteps of Eraqus behind her. They were slow and pondering, as if he had all day. Which is to say, he did. What she could say for herself, unsurprisingly, was more than a little less. She felt pinned down, the type of hollow rage you feel when you know you are going to die but you can’t do anything about it. The type when you have a dagger to your jugular. She couldn’t even move, for Arceus’s sake. Strange, how wrong it felt to swear on the deity’s name, when he himself had captured her. Each word sending through Morrigan a deeper, more vivid chill than the ice. In fact, the cold wasn’t even from the ice. It was from fear. Morrigan tensed when she saw several rocks crowd around her, but thankfully, the ice shattered, and her bones remained intact. Through this, Eraqus’s voice somehow remained quiet and conversational, they’re arresting features regarding her with pity. It was a look that twisted her heart, to the point where she did not bother looking him in the eye. When she spoke her voice was hollow but still sonorous, “What do you specifically want to hear? In the hundreds of years in my life, I have a lot to tell.” This was walking on dangerously thin ice, Morrigan could tell. She then added on rather bitterly, “You were good at taking me when everyone else was busy.”

(What specifically is Eraqus referring to when he says her sins?)

"Oh dear, it seems like all those years has done nothing for you. You are still nothing but a young babe, helpless and clueless about the creators love and abundance." Eraqus murmured, fingers aching to caress the soft curve of Marrigan's face. They refrained from doing so, wrapping their image of a lovingly stern proud parent around them like a cloak. Their heart ached for their creation, how she went down the narrow and wicked path as opposed to the glorious future that they had created for her. Righteous indignation at Morrgian burned away at their flesh, consuming their heart in a blaze of anger and hurt. They had given her all she could ever want, ever need, they had given her the unique gift of life, death, and rebirth, always renewing her body every 50 years, bestowing a beautiful, stronger, better body each and every time she died. And yet she could not see all the blessings they had heaped upon her. None of their creations could. All they did was complain and sow strife, ruining the Utopia they had cried blood into crafting. This is why they had to clean the slate. Their creations had been allowed to do as they pleased for too long.

Clenching their teeth, they held back a fustrated growl. "I believe I made it quite clear what it is I wanted to hear. I gave you amazing hearing, and yet here you are squandering my blessings."

~~

Hearing the sounds of surprise from the others, Isä's head snapped up in surprise. "Wha- Meka?! Bri?! What's happening?" He moved to reach out to them but a sudden yank on his hand had him stumbling. Seeing that his own hand was slowly sinking into the crystal as well, Isa took a deep breath, attempting to calm himself. Panicking would do no good currently.

Bri stumbled out the other side. “That felt weeeeird.” He murmured as he straightened himself up. He dusted himself off before going to stand by Isa

Meka stumbled forward to the other side, lifting into the air immediately and looking around. That....well she hoped that was a one time thing. She looked up, searching for crashing or flashes or something of the sort. Nothing. Her heart skipped to her throat.

Fyssi stumbled forward, the weirdness of what she'd just experienced causing her to loose her balance and fall humiliatingly onto the ground. She groaned but could feel that she was back on earth instead of the Distortion Realm

Stumbling slightly, Isa looked around at their surroundings. He felt bile riding in his throat but pushed the nausea down and instead gagged. "Not a pleasant experience." He groaned straightening up. He gave a wobbly smile at Bri and looked around to make sure everyone was safe

Bri nodded. “Agreed.” He held on to Isa’s hand to help steady him. He looked around. “Now where did we end up...” he squinted to try and get a better view of the area

Fyssi pulled her arms under her and pushed her body into a sitting position before standing up. Now, how were they going to look for their missing friends? "I suppose we should check the base, first? Or go straight to Team Rocket?" She hadn't thought of where her friends would have gone after departing the Distortion Realm. Spreading her wings, she lifted off and hovered just above Meka.

Morrigan shuddered, feeling her heart pounding relentlessly to the point she thought he must surely hear it. Eraqus was broken, loving, and mad. How could they call this abduction, an act of love? She’d spent at least half a century without knowing what love was, or what friendship was. That was the main ploy to create a shadow pokemon, after all. Being brought here against their will seemed hardly the place to start. Yet a small ruined part of her yearned to scream with a combination of indignation and regret. This before her was a man who’d seen much more than could be put into words. He’d seen the world be torn apart, and no more than by his own children. (If the rest of the legendaries could be called that - you would have to excuse Flick) She didn’t even feel indignant at this point; she could feel the anger just oozing off of them. She didn’t bother to deny what they both saw. There was a reason she did not talk to the other legendaries; frankly she could not stand them. They were too wild and brazen — or too young to even grasp what went on. Mor had long passed afraid at this point, and her breath was ragged with terror, the foul bile of it tainting her maw.

Morrigan loosed a heavy sigh when her ‘father’ - if you cared to call them that by this point - pressed the question, forcing down the anger at their expasperated words. She gave them a very blunt and straightforward answer, her voice perfectly flat and betraying as little emotion as possible. She didn’t bother sparing details. What she didn’t tell he could pick from her anyway. “That should be the answer to your question, father” she ground out at last.

The only change in Eraqus' reaction was a slight twitch of the lips, betraying very little of the tumultuous fury that raged within them, an unstoppable tempest that ripped away at their patience and reared its ugly maw at the sky. "I see that I must go down a path neither of us would like to walk upon." Again the markings under their eyes glowed with unimaginable power, frozen electricity flowing through their blood as they gripped the Icicle Plate firmly. Their fingers instinctively found themselves pressing together in a final blessing as Eraqus brought their Judgement down upon their rebellious child. But before they could bring the gavel down upon the guilty verdict, Eraqus hesitated, a small voice pleading with them to reconsider, to ask if this was truely what they wanted. Their lips twisted into a snarl, tightening their vice grips on the tablet. This was the right thing to do. They had to wipe the slate clean. They had to make things right. They Needed To.

"But do you really?" That small part of them wondered, entangling their conviction with uncertainty and dread. "Is this really what you have to do?"

They faltered, hands trembling. Was this really the right thing? No. This was. They were sure of it. This was just their old self, their weak and soft and Stupid self, sowing the seeds of mistrust in them. Gritting their teeth, Eraqus' eyes flashed and in that moment, the ice locking the Mistress of Death shattered around her, biting cold cutting deep into both hers and their flesh in a beautiful spray of blood and snow. "It seems that I am still too benevolent for my own good." They reflected, glaring at the shattered reflections scattered across the ground in contempt. Their eyes snapped back up, lush pastures and green meadows giving way to the blizzard that stormed behind veridian tainted windows. "Stand and fight." They finally commanded. "Because if you don't, I can guarantee that you will die where you stand, incurring the wrath of the elements as lightning courses through your pitiful body, shattered in ice."

Cerva went in the direction that Meka and some of the others went. She watched them get pulled through the crystals and decided to try it for herself. She was pulled through and ended up with the others that hed left the Distortion Realm.

Fyssi sighed, she still had no idea which way to go. Where could they look for clues? Gosh, why didn't they plan ahead more before coming this way? Then she had a realization. Idiot! You have a nose! You know what they smell like, just follow the freaking scent! She looked back at the others to make sure all of them were okay. She then inhaled deeply through her nose, scenting the air.

Meka was still half comprehending what they'd just done. Was that amazing or what? What happened with those crystals, anyway. She'd never thought she'd be able to just leave like that, even through magicy crystal things. Though she was aware they wouldn't be able to return unless they found what they were looking for. She looked up to see what Fyssi was doing. Was she going to track them? Meka's own nose wasn't really strong enough to follow scents, if she ever wanted to find someone, she'd usually just speed around the planet, checking every possible space and finding them eventually. That wouldn't work here. Those times, she'd usually known a little about the person and knew where to look. Here she had no idea. More importantly, if Meka were to start darting off, the others would be unlikely to be able to keep up. She sighed, wondering if Fyssi knew what she was doing, because she didn't really know what the other three pokemon were thinking about trying.

Morrigan felt her body being paralyzed by a horrible terror, her clear electric-blue eyes widening, as she witnessed the consequences of her words. Every limb trembling as she watched the markings glow ominously beneath the Alpha Male’s eyes. She could feel adrenaline pounding in her veins, oh, what had she done? She knew that she was going to die at this very moment as she felt the wrath in Eraqus’s very being. Her eyes roamed around the luscious meadow, trying to memorize it. Maybe as a marker of sorts from when she decided to come back. There would be no salvation in this situation. Her companions didn’t know she was gone, they were too worried about Girantina at this point to even notice her absence. That did not mean however, that she was helpless. She could see the indecision and murderous intent on Eraqus’s face as his light side begged pitifully for the Alpha to hold. However, whatever emotion Eraqus was feeling in that moment won out. A brutal explosion of energy shattered the ice like an eggshell, and she let out a low intake of breath as shards of painful cold slashed open multiple small wounds along her pale skin, drawing blood.

As the ice blew, so did her own patience. Mor had had enough of being tossed around, being used. Scarlet lightning, the bruised heart of deathly wrath, coiled around her shoulders having been pent up from earlier when she’d refused to release it. Her own wings raised up from the ground as the energy made them glow. Mor would always be the brazen, defiant daughter. If Seth was to damn her for it, than may he damn Eraqus too ; her eyes became a raging deathland to meet the blizzard inside his. With a roar, Mor brought her lightning down, a massive sanguine thunderstorm. This was a man that Gira loved with all his heart. Maybe, with her dying breath, she would let the Alpha male know it.

The crack of thunder rattled their bones, shaking them to the very core with energy. Every fiber of their being, every cell, buzzed with excitement at the prospect of a fight; a self indulgent delight they rarely experienced. Yet a part of them delighted in a different sense, their heart a staccato jive of hope that perhaps Morrgian would be the one to do the deed. How fitting it would be for the one they had given death to would be the one to ferry them across the Styx. Raw energy condensed and empowered by defiance and frustration arced through the sky, leaping from Morrgian to the ground and back again, the power forcing even the air to quake in fear. The ground trembled, shaking and cowering before the almighty display, yet Eraqus stood strong, stable amongst the terror that moved the unmovable. A wild snarl crawled over their face, wicked and ravenous as they flexed their fingers. Stones dislodged from the lightning rose around them, swirling around them almost protectively as the snowstorm howled in the background. A desolate battlefield for a hopeless battle.

The air around them popped painfully as lightning came down upon them in a clap of thunder and the floating stones rotated of their own accord, moving to sheild the Creator from the blow. The scattering of shrapnel sharp earth cut deep into their forearms but they ignored the blood, sweeping them back in a glorious arc. The chilling air swirled and danced before them, the frost gathering into a devastatingly beautiful sheet that hurtled towards the hauntingly graceful mistress of death.

The thing with power is that it gets into your head faster than you can think. Power is all consuming and addicting — much more so than an adrenaline rush or sweets. More than anything mortals could ever come up with, in fact. We all realize — often in hindsight as a matter of fact — how quickly it corrupts someone, how quickly it sows dissent. But now, in the moment, this roiling arcane energy was all she could ever dream of. Raw blinding power surged to and fro between the two legendaries, reckless, heady, unstoppable. It filled Morrigan with an ethereal balance as the beast inside of her roared in approval. And why shouldn’t it? Morrigan was death personfied as a demi-mortal, and frankly, she had been built for the hunt. She only hoped that Gira - the embodiment of the rage of war - could come here to see her.

She met Eraqus’s virescent optics, finding within them the same lust for this destruction. A feral snarl was perched upon their maw, one of the most brutal predatory expression she had seen cross his unnaturally perfect face. She heard it too, even above the roaring wind. She felt the challenge, in her bones and soul. It beckoned and pulled to her. And Morrigan could not help the smirk that curled her lips upwards ever so slightly. As it say, bring it. I am not afraid.

The frost came in a blinding white sheet of cold and blood, but Mor met it with a wave of darkness out of hell that cut through it like a knife. It got right to her bones, this kind of cold, and her own darkness seemed to be freezing over. She didn't let it. The ache for superiority was indigent and primal, and it was this ache that drove Morrigan’s dark pulse as it pushed this wind back. The combination of the two elements produced a kind of devastation that Mor would have regarded as the definition of a cataclysm. The very earth dislodged and started swirling around the powerful duo, mostly to shield Eraqus.This was wrath and death in their purest forms. A catastrophic yet eerily beautiful symphony as old as time itself.

November shifted in impatience before the group before something awful struck him, “Why...” Guilt choked up his voice as much as dread did, “Has nobody noticed where Morrigan is?”

Meka looked at November, blinking. Where had he come from? Her shock kept her from paying attention to the question at first. Morrigan? No, she had no idea. She showed this by shaking her head in response.

Fyssi decided not to let herself be surprised at Articuno's sudden appearance. "We were just about to go look. That's why we're out here. Now, if you could give me a pointer as to where the rest of your group is, that would be extremely helpful."

November's gut twisted even more when he forced the words out whlie looking at them, "There was an incident involving a dark nova that knocked my group unconscious. I —“ it was getting difficult to get words out due to how utterly terrible he felt, “I’m sorry, really, and I’ll tell Gira this personally. But I think Morrigan was taken by Eraqus.” He didn’t want to look at their expressions, and he could only feel worse at the shock radiating from them all.

Fyssi felt her heart skip a beat. More problems? She thought anxiously about her friends, like family at this point to her. They were supposed to grab Gira and leave! Now Eraqus was involved? Great. Like they stood a chance against the creator themselves. She let out a sigh. "Well, I suppose an area destroyed by a dark nova would be easy to find." Her voice was dry, frustration and anxiety mixing into flat, emotionless words.

Meka thought. Eraqus.. she had a message for him. This may be a little harder if they were dealing with the angel of death herself. At least she knew where she was going now. She felt determined instead of anxious. Her friends could count on her! Flicking her tail, she shot up. "Let's go! And November...stop beating yourself up, sometimes there's nothing you can do." That was her quick attempt to cheer the frost bird up before twitching excitedly in anticipation

November flinched at Meka’s words, but complied anyway. “Thanks for being kind.” A kindness he knew that when they found Morrigan - hopefully in one piece - that she would not be reciprocating. “She is going to be furious though.” Well, furious was going to be an understatement. Nobody liked getting abandoned after being kidnapped. “Let’s find Gira and go. When we find him, I’ll tell him.”
