Requiem of the Fallen Dragon

Epilogue: The Fullmoon

The door opens, two Pokemon walked into the hall of the cathedral.

Upon knowing that who are those Pokemon, everyone in the church stood up, looking at two Pokemon and clapped their hands. All of them have a cheerful face.

The first Pokemon is a human-like Pokemon that also resembled to the cat. She has pale pink skin. She is the friend of the bride who is coming with her.

The bride of this wedding is a black fox-like Pokemon. She wore a white bridal gown. Her face is filled with happiness.

They walk along the hall of the church, to the place where two Pokemon waited for them….

One is a priest. The priest is a big, bird-like Pokemon who has a white body and navy belly.

And another…

He is a jackal-like Pokemon that has a blue and gray body. He wore a black tuxedo, making him became even smarter than before.

Upon reaching the place where the groom and the priest wait, the cat-like Pokemon left the fox-like Pokemon with the groom and went to her seat. After she sat down, the priest turned his attention to a jackal-like Pokemon.

"Rucas Couraura the Lucario, the Hero of Justice, will you accept Fenrir Illunight the Zoroark as your rightful wife until your thread of fate is torn apart?" Priest asked.

"I will." The jackal-like Pokemon answered. Then the priest turns his attention to the fox-liked Pokemon.

"Fenrir Illunight the Zoroark, the Master of Mercy, will you accept Rucas Couraura the Lucario as your rightful husband until your soul left your body?" Priest asked.

"I will." A fox-like Pokemon answered.

"Then you two shall become a rightful couple." Priest said. A fox-like Pokemon turned her face to a jackal-like Pokemon.

"I waited for today, so long… Rucas." Fenrir said.

"Me too." Rucas spoke.

Rucas and Fenrir moved closer to each other. They then moved their face closed to each other. At this moment, both of them could sense the breath of each other. They then moved their lips closer to each other, until the distance between their lips became zero…

That night…

"For Rucas and Fenrir!"

14 Pokemon made a toast for the newly married couple with their wine glass.

Tonight, 14 Pokemon are in the lonely house in the Lunar Village, the village of darkness. This house was once the house of Fenrir's cousins, but both of her cousins are already dead, so this house became hers. And this house was used to hold a small party for the wedding of Rucas and Fenrir that was be held this morning. The time now is pretty late. Most guested already left. The only Pokemon remained here are the 14 Hero/ine of Legend who once saved the land. They still have a party under the shining full moon as tonight is the night of full moon.

"Onii-chan, congratulation!" Zira said.

"Thank you, Zira." Rucas spoke.

"It was…2 years already." Iris said. "Everything had changed so much…"

Iris said the truth. After the final battle of the Fallen Dragon, the land of Symmetria had changed so much…

Hawkins Gale-norval the Lugia, the White Bard, decided that the land of Symmetria is too vast for one king, so he divided Symmetria into several small kingdoms, and he became the king of one of them. He worked very hard to atone the sin he committed. Of course, Cathy the Espurr Doll is still with him, but it tended to fall asleep most the time...

Iris Mysteric the Mewtwo, the Sage of Existence, continued her work as the Hawkins's personal adviser, but of course, her job as the adviser didn't last long. It happened when she got married with Hawkins and became the Queen along with Hawkins…

Garland Quakersand the Garchomp, the Black Sniper, followed the request of his elder brother and the Pokemon of the desert region, became the king of one of the kingdoms. Despite he was the Mad Demon, he did a pretty good job as the king…

Sharon Venomist the Dragalge, the Toxic Ranger, didn't do much after the day we defeated the Fallen Dragon because Garland asked her for marriage, making she became the queen alongside Garland. Her shyness gradually decreased, but her love with Garland continued to increase…

Joshua Floratree the Sceptile, the Forest Swordsman, continued travelling around the realm to hone his art of the sword, making him became one of the best swordsman ever, but finally, Joshua found the love at the place he called home, the sacred forest…

Ellisk Sparkvolt the Heliolisk, the Lightning Thief, continued his work as the thief… Well, he never got arrested because his escaping skill is invincible, but his work as a thief didn't last long because his erratic life ended when he found the love…

Magnus Aquamarine the Feraligatr, the Ocean Pirate, quit his life of pirate and became a merchant instead. No, Magnus still kept his weapon by his side because he had to fight often to protect his place from the pirates. He finally got married too…

Leonel Novaflare the Charizard, the Volcano Guardian, continued his duty as the guardian of the sacred soil. He worked very hard every day and still kept his calmness. Up to today, Leonel is the only one of 14 Hero/ine of Legend who still didn't get married as he always works hard… But… He may have a secret love?

Nyxier Tundrafrost the Aurorus, the Diamond-Dust Valkyrie, lived on the border between the snowy glacier and the rugged mountain. She is now a fashion designer and also a writer who wrote the story of 14 Hero/ine of Legend's adventure. She became much more mature than before…But she still kept her noble habit like before…

Tyrus Orestone the Tyrantrum, the Ancient Gladiator, got married with Nyxier shortly after the final battle with the Fallen Dragon, making them became the first two Hero/ine of Legend who got married. While Nyxier is a fashion designer and a writer, Tyrus worked as a brave gladiator at the arena. Of course, Tyrus never lost the battle, making him became the most famous gladiator ever…

Kamui Rusteel the Aggron, the Techno Knight succeeded his father as the Dojo Master. His strong and sturdy skill combined with his serene habit made him became a great master. Of course, his humble nature is still with him, so his life is going on easily…

Zira Hylia the Eevee, the Purity Cleric, lived at the same village as Kamui. She worked as the nun of the village. Her cheerful and innocent personality won the hearts of many. She finally got married with Kamui. This married is quite a shock to everyone, the married of the beauty and the beast…

Rucas Couraura the Lucario, the Hero of Justice, decided not to stay at one place for long. He travelled around the realm as the Hero of Justice to help the one in need. He always fought with the bad guys, much like the same as before. Sometimes he met up with his formal comrade, which he usually crossed his blade with them in order to test his skill…

Fenrir Illunight the Zoroark, the Master of Mercy, decided to stay at her village to help reconstruction after her village got damaged by the eternal winter. When she finished her task, she started her journey until she finally reunited with Rucas. After that moment, she always followed Rucas wherever he gone, and finally, her love won the heart of the Lucario…

And…

"…Congratulation, Rucas, Fenrir."

A low voiced is heard by everyone. Everyone turned their attention to the source of the voice, which is the entrance of this house, and saw a Kyurem entered the room.

"Frostic?! Glad to see you!" Iris greeted as she is the first one to remember the Kyurem as Frostic now is not the Zombie Kyurem like before. He is a normal Kyurem now.

"Frostic? It has been two years! And your body…" Rucas spoke.

"Well… I was busy with the task of guarding Yggdrasil. And now, she finally woke up." Frostic said.

"What?!" Joshua spoke. "Yggdrasil returned from her slumber already?"

"Of course." Frostic spoke. "Once she came back to life, she blessed my body, making my blood and flesh returned back to normal."

"And where is she now? Is she come with you?" Nyxier asked.

"No." Frostic answered. "She was just waking up, so I think that leaving her in the serene place like the Colorless Garden for now would be the best. And I came here today to just greet you and say congratulation in the name of Yggdrasil, Vastia, Zastra and myself."

"And where are Vastia and Zastra now?" Kamui asked.

"Both of them are at the Colorless Garden with Yggdrasil." Frostic answered.

"Oh! I am glad that the Dragon God didn't punish them…" Sharon spoke.

"Then…" Magnus raised his glass. "Now Frostic is here, let's make a toast for Frostic and Yggdrasil!"

Everyone raised their glass to make a toast for Frostic and Yggdrasil. "Finally…" Ellisk spoke up. "All of us finally have a good ending of our life…"

"Yeah." Tyrus spoke. "But Leonel… When will you finally get married? You are the last one of our group…"

"…As the Volcano Guardian, the duty came first, and my love life could be waited…" Leonel answered.

"Just hurry up already, Leonel." Hawkins spoke. "If you didn't, soon and your heart will become empty forever."

"And puppies…" Garland spoke up. "Now with this wedding to be done, I have finally become the family with both of you…"

"Hm?!" Everyone looked at Garland. "What did you mean?" Rucas asked.

"Hey… It has been two years and all of you still didn't realize it?" Garland said. "Puppy, do you remember our battle at the Desert Prison?"

"How could I forget? That was when Zira realized that she isn't my true younger sister…" Rucas said.

"But… There was another thing happened there…" Garland spoke. "While your Aura Sphere hurted Zira, it couldn't hurt Sharon even the Aura Sphere never missed its target…"

"EAA!" Everyone shouted.

"Yeah… I think you all know what I meant, right?" Garland crossed his arms. He had a crafty smile on his face.

Rucas turned his attention to Sharon. He couldn't believe this…

"Rucas…" Sharon spoke. "You are my younger brother."

"WHAT?!" Everyone said.

"I…I knew this since the day we went to the Sanctuary of Memory. During my trial, I saw my past memory about my family… About my missing younger brother, which is you, Rucas. I am sorry that I didn't tell you before… I couldn't bring myself to tell the truth to my long-lost little brother."

"T…Then…" Iris said. "Sharon, you were a human too, right?"

"Yes…" Sharon answered. "However, I enjoy my life here…With Garland."

"That made me your brother-in-law, puppy." Garland mocked. "Please treat me well, and I will treat you well too…"

"Fenrir…" Sharon spoke. "Please treat my younger brother well…"

"Have no fear, Sharon." Fenrir drew a whip out. "I will 'treat' him well… Heehee…"

"Um… Fenrir?" Rucas spoke. "What's that whip you have?"

"Oh! This is Sharon's whip. I borrowed it from her because I needed to use it…" Fenrir answered.

"Use it? For what?" Rucas asked.

"You will know it soon…Tonight…" Fenrir had a crafty smile on her face.

Rucas still had a confused face, but everyone else knew what Fenrir meant…

"Then…" Iris changed the topic. "Another toast for Rucas and Sharon!"

Everyone made the third toast for Rucas and Sharon. All of them are happy now as the mysteries they all had in their mind were finally be solved…Except…

While everyone are celebrating, Frostic looked at Rucas and Fenrir silently. Because he is a Kyurem, no one could see what is in his mind as his face is always blank, but however, Rucas noticed this.

"Frostic, what's wrong?" Rucas asked.

"Right…" Fenrir said after she noticed too. "You seemed to have something on your mind…"

"…I just think… What will they act today if both of them are here today…" Frosic answered.

Rucas and Fenrir's smile disappeared. Both of them knew who Frostic was talking about.

"…Both of them were gone already…" Rucas mumbled. "However… I knew that Anastasia would be happy to see me today. She was such a good friend…"

"… Same for Baromyteus… Despite the others' thought, he is one of my best friends…" Fenrir said.

Everyone informed the Dragonqueen Anna and her husband Barom about Anastasia and Baromyteus's death already. Both of them said nothing upon knowing this, but everyone knew that both of them kept their broken feeling for their children within their heart…

"Is that so?" Frostic mumbled.

"Yeah… Why not?" Rucas and Fenrir asked.

"…Nothing." Frostic answered.

"Then…" Kamui raised his glass. "Since Frostic is already here, another toast for Rucas and Fenrir!"

Everyone raised their glass up to make a toast for Rucas and Fenrir, under the full moon…

If it was before, Rucas would have gone berserk today, but because of the power of love, Rucas finally escaped from the grasp of evilness…

The power of love is unlimited… It could bring the light and darkness to mix with each other…

And…

This bond will never break… The bond of light and darkness will last forever…

The Story of Living Creature is truly not fathomable…

Some times later, at the Colorless Garden…

"…The power of love is amazing, isn't it?" Frostic spoke up. He is sitting in the middle of the garden, with someone by his side…

"Yes, Frostic…" The Pokemon who sat next to Frostic spoke. She is the Xerneas, the Pokemon of Life that has the deer-like body that resembled the alphabet letter of 'X'.

"Both of us have seen many situations where the love brought the happy ending to the conflict, Xynnia." Frostic continued speaking. "The small little beauty and the huge beast… The noble princess and the knight in the rusty armor… The Mad Demon and the shy girl… The sage and the bard… And finally… The light and darkness…"

"You missed one, Frostic." The Xerneas named Xynnia, who is the same Pokemon as Yggdrasil, spoke. "It's us."

"Of course, how could we forget us, the Angel and the Demon?" Frostic said.

"You are not the demon, Frostic." Xynnia said. "You are the angel like me, the most handsome angel I had ever known…

"…Despite all of this…" Frostic's voice became a bit sad. "Everything in this world has its own dark side, and the love couldn't escape this fate…"

"What did you mean?" Xynnia asked.

"…It's those dragons…" Frostic answered. "…And their unfulfilled heart…"

Two years ago, Frostic's Point of View.

After the final battle against the Fallen Dragon and the escape from the Altar of the Fallen Dragon, Frostic found himself in a gloomy and depressed place.

'…This place is so… gloomy.' Frostic thought. 'And,where is Rucas and others?'

Frostic looked around himself until he found Rucas and everyone else. They are a bit far from him.

'I should join up with them…' Frostic thought and was about to walk up to them…

When…

Not too far from Frostic, two dragon type Pokemon are here, looking at the other Hero/ine of Legend. They are at the spot that the 14 other Hero/ine of Legend couldn't see them, but they could see them clearly. One of them is a white dragon while the other is a black dragon. Frostic was shocked a bit to see them.

"Anastasia? Baromyteus?" Frostic called their name and walked up to them. However, both of them seem not to notice Frostic's voice. Instead, they were focusing their attention on two of the Hero/ine of Legend.

"…" Frostic looked at two Pokemon whom Anastasia and Baromyteus focused their attention to. He knew this from the start, about their unfulfilled love…

"…Anastasia, Baromyteus." Frostic spoke. This time, both of them noticed Frostic. "You love them, right?"

Anastasia and Baromyteus didn't answer Frostic's question. Instead, they answer by nodding their head.

"…She didn't love me." Baromyteus finally started speaking. "I should knew this from the moment I knew her that she always has a heart for that Lucario… Despite, this, I still fell in love with her…

"…He didn't love me too." Anastasia spoke up with a soft voice. "During our first adventure, I tried to win over his heart, but he didn't show any sight of love toward me. Instead, despite his protest, he loved that Zoroark…"

"…What did you do to them to win over their heart?" Frostic asked.

"…I… I tried to confess my love…" Anastasia said. "B…But I couldn't do it… I couldn't bring myself to face what will he answer me… I…I knew that I couldn't bear to heart his rejected words…"

"Same for me." Baromyteus said. "I don't understand… Why she didn't love me?

"…Then, what will you do?" Frostic asked.

"…I…I think I will… leave him." Anastasia's answer surprised Frostic. "It would be useless to love someone who already loved someone else. It would only hurt me to see that…"

"…And…" Baromyteus started answering. "It seemed like all of them thought that both Anastasia and I are already dead. Let this be. Let them forget us would be the best choice. In the truth, I really want to kill that Lucario as he not only hurt Anastasia's body and mind, but also stole the heart of my loved one too… But… That would break her heart for sure."

"…Maybe, we will start our journey again… We couldn't live here any longer as both of us had committed an unforgivable sin upon this realm… No one would forgive us for the thing we had done…" Anastasia said.

"A journey with Anastasia to spend our time together as we didn't have much time together as brother and sister… And…maybe we could find a place that accepted us…" Baromyteus spoke.

"… If that's so?" Frostic said. "Then, I wished both of you good luck. And… Maybe someday, both of you will find the true love…"

Anastasia and Baromyteus tried to smile, but they couldn't do it. Then Frostic saw the Dragon God approached the Hero/ine of Legend, so he quickly left both dragon and went to stop the Dragon God's rage.

When Frostic left both Anastasia and Baromyteus, he saw both of them picked a Cherry Blossom petals from the floor. Those Cherry Blossom petals they picked are bruised and black because of the eternal winter. Then both of them walked to the opposite direction of Frostic, disappeared from his sight…

"None of the Hero/ine of Legend knew that both of them are alive, right?" Xynnia asked.

"Yes. I didn't tell them because both Anastasia and Baromyteus wished for this." Frostic answered.

"And now… I wonder where are they? I hope that both of them are doing good now…" Xynnia said.

"…They are at another realm… Far… Far away from Symmetria… I don't know neither where are they nor what are they doing now… But I could say that they still have a long way to walk in their life. The 14 Hero/ine of Legend's tale may ended after they defeated the Fallen Dragon, but the tale of both of them is still continued… They will have to face much harder obstacles than others… I hoped that when the right time came… They would be strong enough…"

"Speak of the Fallen Dragon." Xynnia seemed to remember. "Where is he doing now?"

Frostic picked the Dragon Fang he stabbed on the Fallen Dragon's head and showed it to Xynnia. "He is still here. The Hero/ine of Legend may think that I had killed him already, but, no. Ryouma has the eternal life like both of us, so he couldn't be killed. Instead, I sealed his soul within this Dragon Fang…"

"Your Dragon Fang?" Xynnia asked.

"Yes. I cursed this Dragon Fang to make whatever got stabbed by this to have no future… In Ryouma's case, I cursed his evil self to have no future. Also, if I didn't sell him here, the Dragon God would continue to torture him as Ryouma is the Pokemon the Dragon God hated the most, even more and you and me…"

"…" Xynnia said nothing.

"You know, Ryouma isn't completely bad. I have known him since when I was with the Dragon God. He is a good guy, but because of his weakness, he fell into the evil side of legend." Frostic said.

"Weakness?"

"…Ryouma's weakness is his trust." Frostic explained. "Ryouma didn't trust anyone in his life after the Dragon God started the war three eons ago. He always does everything alone with his own power. That's one reason he used the Fallen in his plan as the Fallen didn't have any thought or mind, so it will always do as they were told. If he could just learn to trust someone, his fate wouldn't end like this…"

"…I felt a bit sorry for him." Xynnia said.

"…I just hoped that he will start to understand it someday… The meaning of trust…" Frostic said.

"Me too… But right now, I am so glad that we finally have a life together again… And… Thank you for staying with me for a millennium." Xynnia said.

"Of course, Xynnia, I love you. I will be with you for the rest of my life." Frostic spoke and hugged Xynnia.

The journey of the 14 Hero/ine of Legend, Rucas, Zira, Joshua, Ellisk, Magnus, Leonel, Fenrir, Nyxier, Kamui, Tyrus, Sharon, Garland, Iris and Hawkins, came to the end... They finished their task of defeating the Fallen Dragon and brought the peace back to the land of Symmetria.

Only few may know the truth behind their journey, about many secrets they had and obstacles they faced, but none will forget their brave doing in the legend…

The legend of Requeim of the Fallen Dragon…

-Fin-

Dragon of Vale: Requiem of the Fallen Dragon, the fifth story of Dragon of Vale, finally came to the end. It took me almost a year to complete this. This would be one of my longest story ever…

Thank you for all readers who read my story and gave me a comment. I appreciated all comments I got and I would put them into a good use for my future story…

After this story, I will take a break from writing for a while, and then I will start the sixth story of my own. I have planned it a bit already. It would be the sequel to this one, took place around several decades after the Fallen Dragon was defeated…

Finally, thank you again for everyone! May I see you all in the future again! Good bye!
