(I have the perfect song for that story)

Frozen Silence - Angel's Redemption - beautiful harp, sad music

Heart at the same time he was telling the story he was playing the same music as the video.

"...its happens many, many years ago. Way before my family demise...me and my younger brother, Angelo, was playing in the garden of our family...Until we meet something...odd. We heard a huge cry, and someone hurt. We run towards where its was the cry..."

"A Infernape, holding in his arms a Egg. She was deadly wounds...he would not survive for much time. She would not survive for long, so we think in call for help...but she stopped us. She just...look to us, with wounds all around her body. She hold the Egg, almost begging to us:"

Please...protect my child...

"The way she act, to protect her child...even for us children how could we denied her wish? I gently grab her egg with my tiny hands...she looks...grateful...she...then slowy close her eyes...and die..."

"Me and my brother then promise to protect the little one. With our lifes. We never tell our father, only to our mother...When the destruction of my clan happened, when our house was burned to the ground...when that woman with snake eyes and red hair disappear, and I could see was the members of my clans dead...And I see the body of my brother in our mother arms, I see something...a tiny egg, the same one we save so many years ago..."

Heart eyes then begin to roll even more. "My young brother...Angelo, he was a true hero. He was so much younger than me, but despite that he have such heart made of gold, putting the good of others...and he die as he live...When I touch the Egg...I was capable of see...his soul. And my mother. One last time..."

"Than between in that mortal flames, the Egg hatch, in the moment I feel in more despair...a baby Chimchar. She was...so little. So inocent...Despite all tragedy that happens, she was capable of give me some...warm, and hope. And love...And I failed. Once again, I failed to protect someone of my family."

With teary eyes I look to Nathan and Gallde. "Is this my fate Nathan? To simple suffer and lost everything that I care and love? First my family and Clan. And now...my own Pokemon sister."

Heart rage boiled inside of him in see such injustice. He shout to the sky. "IS THIS SOME SORT OF SICK JOKE OF YOU ARCEUS!? YOU BIG COWARD! I SERVE YOU FOR YEARS, EXPECTING YOU WOULD GIVE ME SOME PEACE! But...ALL YOU DO IS HIDE BEHIND YOU RIDICULOUS THRONE! COME HERE! I WILL STRIKE FROM YOUR THRONE YOU FAKE GOD!"

Gallade and Nathan each put a hand on one of Heart's shoulders and gently lower him back down to the ground.

"...if you curse the world's creators, Heart, you're only asking to bring more ruin upon yourself."

Nathan takes off his necklace and hands it to Heart so he can look at it.

"That necklace represents a few things.  Notice how one is the complete opposite of the other?  One might consider them a representation of the Yin and Yang pokemon from Tandor's Legends, pokemon said to have created this universe we live in.  One represents the light, the good, the warmth...the other, the shade, the darker parts of life, the cold...one could not exist without the other, and yet they can never touch for fear of destroying the very things they created.  It's a sad story, the one about Aotius and Mutios, but life goes on, and there are still happy endings even if some don't end that way."

Nathan then pulls out the Mesprit card.  "...that duality is present in all things.  Physical and Emotional.  Where there's sorrow, there's also joy.  Where there's anger, there's peace.  Finding a balance between two sides of the same coin is often hard, but also often necessary."

Nathan gets in front of Heart and looks him straight in the eyes.

"Shiva's been to that other dimension that Keni calls Sideways.  She and Gothitelle are confident that Rose and the others are fine.  Keni said he could make some cards of our friends later as well.  You haven't failed to protect Rose.  And I don't think she'd like it if she saw you like this, either.  Try and look on the brighter side of all the bad things that have happened, yeah?  Sure, a lot of bad things have happened...but a lot worse could have as well, and there have been good things that have happened, too."  Nathan looks to the Moltres Egg and smiles.  "...that, for example.  It's rare for humans to ever get the chance to raise a Legendary from an Egg.  It's a once in a lifetime chance, and baby pokemon are always a joy to be around.  I can hardly wait for when the Dratini egg hatches myself.  Sure, maybe we'll have to part ways eventually...heck, Dratini will probably outlive me and every other pokemon I have just going by natural lifespans...but I'll treasure every moment I do get with them.  We've gained a lot more than we've lost in recent days, and I find myself being thankful for that almost every morning."
