[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Oz was finally enjoying her time to rest. After 2 long and stressful days, she could rest. Darren is safe. Fortuna and Glinda are. She could enjoy some time to rest for tomorrow and…

Oz's eyes could not comprehend what she is seeing right now.

Most of her sisters are out of her Pokeballs (with the exception of course being Hecate). Oz was brushing the fur of Meza, to help with her appearance. Oz could see clearly. The people are dying. And the numbers are only increasing. And more destruction is ahead of them.

She didn’t want to face a disaster of such a level but….

Before she could stand up, her shoulder was stopped by one person. A Pokemon who knows her long enough to know what she is about to do.

Glinda.

“I know that look of yours. Doesn’t the Soul Bond know what you are thinking. You DIE and get back to life yesterday! You could die permanently this time! You are NOT going there.”

Then all of her sisters came to agree with Glinda. That creature is way too powerful. Maybe the only exceptions are Persephone and Bethy due to their ghost nature, but even they are scared of that…”thing” causing so much destruction and its malice around the city.

Even Fortuna, a calm experience witch she is, Adamant agrees with Glinda. She is old and experienced enough to know when a challenge is way too much for her and her Coven. Especially to her foolish student and sister! As the third in command of her Coven, she will not let Oz go there to war and potentially die!

Oz for most of the time only heard her sisters saying to not go there and throw away her life like yesterday. She listens and listens until…

“STOP! PLEASE!” She shouts, trying to silence her Coven of sister for just a few seconds, trying to put some attention to her sisterhood. When she makes sure she gets their attention, she speaks.

“...Sisters. I know you all mean well. Truly. And I know you would protect me against any danger…Heck, if you throw this tantrum and know me so very well, it is because you know me like the back of your hands. And I know you would fight me and even KO me to make me not join this fight. This is a symbol of true love. And it touches my heart.”

She put her hand in her heart. “...For a long time, I just…ran. I run from my responsibilities. I ran away from pain. I ran away from Sütalor. Because I thought I was not good enough. That I could never be good enough.” She searches in her bag, until she finds her Stone, the Weary Stone, and shows it in front of her sisters. “...But then…”Fate” brought me here once more. To fix my mistakes. To heal people and Pokemon…to heal their bodies, hearts, spirits and souls. To be…a hero. To bring miracles. TO BE the Medic, the healer, I always wanted to be. That was the reason why I faced the ire of my parents. Why I study for such long time Medicine and Mythical healing. Is to save all lives I could save.”

“A Medic can’t save everyone, but it can save as many lives as it can.”

“That’s the oath I make. And hear!" Oz points to the closest window, where there might be people screaming in fear and despair. “There are people there who need help! Families, friends, parents, children! People are DYING out there. MY PEOPLE! And I am not speaking just the Scimitars!”

“HUMAN! POKEMON! NATURE ITSELF! ALL life in Sütalor is in danger! Not only that but I feel in my soul there are things my friends also want to protect! You think I am not scared? I TERRIFIED! I TASTE DEATH! I FELT DESPAIR IN WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO ME AND LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND! MY COVEN! MY SISTERS! MY FAMILY!” Tears are flowing in her eyes. Tears of fear. But then she cleans her tears and looks at her sisters. “But because I was terrified, I know what those people out there are feeling now at this very moment. They are scared, terrified of their certain death and their loved ones' death.”

She looked at each of her sisters. “...I'm done being a coward. I’m done feeling pity for myself. I’m done running away from responsibility. I’m done in letting fear and the demons of my past control me.”

“Just this once…I want to be a hero. To be the healer I always wanted to be. Not just because of some kind of redemption I want to make. No…But because it is the right thing to do.”

“I want to be brave like Lucy was.”
“I want to be wise like Sindara was.”
“And I want to be kind and gentle like Romero was.”

“Don’t think I will become a martyr or throw away my life. No. Not anymore.” Oz looks at Glinda. “I have no intention to die. Because…I have a Coven who needs me. I have sisters who love deeply in their hearts, enough to challenge their trainer to keep them safe. Friends who I know will come to my rescue and help us. And more importantly…A family who I love unconditionally and who also loves me back, despite my own shortcomings and mistakes. I know I can’t fight this monster alone…But I have my companions to help me. And they are willing to risk their lives to save this region. Sisters, please…One more time…Lend me your powers. Let’s face this monstrosity together. Let history be witness that a Coven of Witches helped save Sütalor! The Coven of Twilight! Because even when darkness approaches the twilight, it also brings a promise of a better tomorrow. A tomorrow of love. Of rebirth. We will defeat this monster. WE WILL SURVIVE. AND WE WILL BRING TOMORROW to Sütalor! We will bring tomorrow for us sisters!”

“No matter what happens. WE WILL SURVIVE. We will triumph against this monster, and bring a bright future for all.”

“So please sisters…Help me. Let’s fight together as one. And show this monster the terrifying power of our Coven.”

Oh honey, don't you know by now that the fun never ends ~ ?

While Hecate is indeed still within her Ball you could suddenly feel her sharp attention as she catches onto your Intent after seeing the Message.

I don't really have much to add about your Pokemon's initial reactions, for they are just wonderful. + 1 XP for good RP!

Ever so slightly, you feel your War and Wonder Witch's Ball shake, as if in agreement with her other Sisters.

Before your coven could really get into Pounding into your skull why you SHOULD NOT do that frankly STUPIDLY SUICIDIALLY RISKY FIGHT, you're own impassioned screech abruptly silences them all. Their eyes are wide as you panted from such a outburst, and from there you had your chance to plead your case to them.

To get them to listen and understand WHY this is something you must do.

.....It seems your plea broke through and past your Sisters defensive, worriment of your safety and wellbeing, as slowly but surely you won them over, receiving solemn, grim, but ultimately Loving and Accepting looks, nods, and even hugs.

What a wonderful moment!

*FLASH!*

...That is promptly broken as Hecate the Hatterene FORCIBLY SUMMONS HERSELF and tackles you to the ground a look of FURIOUS, WOUNDED DISBELIEF and eyes shining with HORROR and F E A R as the hand on her hand Grappled your throat and started to squeeze.

No!
NO!
NOOOO!

SHE WILL NOT LET HER MASTER, HER LEADER, HER MOTHER, PUT HER LIFE ON THE LINE AGAIN!

IF NO OTHER MEMBER OF THE COVEN WILL STOP YOUR MADNESS, THEN IT FALLS UPON HER TO DO SO !!!!!

Slowly, you feel yourself beginning to suffocate - You got enough time and air to try and do something about Hecate, your grief, anger, and horror field child, before she strangles you into Faint. The rest of the Coven watches on in Shock, too stunned by what in dear GOD was happening to immediately react...
