Espeon's composure remained unchanged, though he was pretty sure where the glare came from. Frosslass waited for the others to leave the cave before curling up in the corner by herself.
Absol looked on at the Shadows. There was only one of them now, the other having faded away a while ago. Umbreon was sitting in the snow, waiting for them to come out.

Goodra came out and went to stand next to Meowstic and Absol. "What happened?" Meowstic asked. "They forgive each other." Goodra said. Meowstic was happy, but also confused about why Goodra didn't seem happy.

Espeon walked over to Umbreon, who was also looking at the normally Cheerful Goodra, "What really happened?" She asked with no little force. "We learned something else new." Espeon said looking over to Glaceon. Glaceon was sitting a few paces away, as he'd been known to do but separating himself none the less. Absol jumped down from on top of the cave and looked at the group. "Nest person who's cryptic get's a beating." He said, wanting the straight forward answer.

Goodra shifted her view to the silhouettes in the distance so Absol could see where she was looking. "They're a gang of bad pokemon. Glaceon and Frosslass used to work for them."

"What?!" Absol said and turned straight to Glaceon and the cave, "I'd say we should leave, but Frosslass still has the key." He said, quite angry. Glaceon sat quietly, thinking of what to do next and Frosslass hadn't moved from her spot yet. Espeon and Umbreon were sitting quietly and Umbreon looked particularly distressed of the two, "What did they used to do?" She said looking just as much to Glaceon as Goodra.

Goodra was quiet once again so Meowstic spoke up. "What did you do Glaceon?" She asked him outright, also a little angry about the situation.

"Me and Froslass, then Snorunt, used to make things happen. We were good at starting things. We never new the master plan, we just followed orders." Glaceon said, not looking away from the horizon, "usually we were just starting fights, setting up meetings, starting the occasional unnatural disaster. The four of us ruled the frozen mount with an iron fist. One day, we were called to collapse the mountainside. We gave the Pokemon living there the warning and by then they new to evacuate. We wiped the slate clean for that whole side. Things went bad, though, when the avalanche seemed to start a second avalanche above our position. Both of us were swept away. I thought Snorunt died then. I left the mount to travel and leave the past behind me. It seems Snorunt did survive and became Frosslass. She beat our bosses and became a guardian. She searched for me after that. We're now finding each other today." He told his story, almost to himself as much as to the group.

ooc: They have ponies? "Looks like the other part of your past also found you today." Goodra said. "Just because you chose to ignore what you've done doesn't mean it goes away, whether good or bad." Meowstic turned her gaze towards Umbreon. "Tell me again why you don't want Absol to have the keys."

Umbreon simply smiled. It wasn't a fitting smile and in some small ways it wasn't even an Umbreon smile, so it was unsettling and didn't at all answer the question. Otherwise, Umbreon was silent and looked over to Espeon. Espeon Just looked to Meowstic, "If you think it's easy doing our job, then you do it. A guardians job is simple. Keep your key from anyone trying to collect them. If you knew what we knew you'd not be second guessing us right now." Espeon pointed at the necklace, "You've already collected the keys and we've helped you do this, not Absol. Even in giving the keys to you, we're still keeping them from him."
Glaceon smiled, "I suppose fate is unavoidable, hmm?" He looked to Goodra, "So will you cast judgment on me? I invite it. The love of my life died and when I find she didn't, she hates me. My past has caught up with me and it seems that my only option is to be the evil I tried to avoid. They're not going to stop till they rule again." He pointed to the horizon, "Perhaps you'd like to fight them again? It'll save me the trouble. I've lost what I used to fight for anyway." He said, the eerie smile still on his face but shrinking to an eerie grin instead.
OOC: Be lenient with the apparent tone of my post. I can't seem to get rid of it, my mind is saturated in it right now.

Meowstic took hold of the keys around her neck. "I could not have gotten them if it wasn't for Absol. And I'm holding them for him. So what happens when we get all the keys? Will you finally trust us or are you still not going to let go? Will we have to fight you as well? Is being a guardian your dream?"
"It seems you have already judged and condemned yourself." Goodra said. "You're not proving anything fighting or beating them, so why don't you run away. At least then you may one day find out who you are."

Espeon rubbed his temple, "How do I put this. Absol would have gotten those keys with or without you. He's almost as powerful as the guardians, it was only a matter of time. You're the only reason we're relinquishing them now. You're the variable to the destiny we're so sure of. You're the unknown that will have to make the decision when the keys get brought together."
"I tried to run away. While I was away things got worse. How can you say to run away again?" Glaceon said genuinely, not sarcastic in the least.

"You still didn't answer my question." Meowstic told Espeon. "Are you going to trust us when the time comes?"
"And do you think fighting them will fix everything?" Goodra asked. "If you run you may still be able to learn what path you should walk. Or are you trying to face your past? Then you have a choice. Which past are you going to face." Goodra pointed to the silhouettes. "That past?" She moved her paw to the cave. "That past?" She moved her paw behind them towards the empty landscape, pointing towards the world. "Or that past?"

"I trust you. And I trust Absol through you." Espeon said, "But you're going to have to trust us. Everything happens for a reason, but not everything is completely predetermined either. We're aiming for the small chance of a different future."
"I guess right now I'm trying to collect myself. A lot has happened and my next move is very important." Glaceon said looking to the cave and the horizon, "They'll come to us no matter what. And it'll be a long process to make my amends with the land." He thought for a second, "I really just want Sturly back. I don't want to lose her again if I don't have to."

Meowstic nodded and looked down at the keys.
"You have to live with the choices you made in the past." Goodra told Glaceon. "But that doesn't mean you can't make new choices now."

"You are a very wise dragon for your age." Glaceon said with a smile. He looked back to the cave. "You wouldn't happen to have relationship advice, would you?"

"Ah, no." Goodra said hugging herself. "Some wisdom comes with the territory. Relationships and friendships not so much."

"Haha, well you're good at it none the less." Glaceon said and looked to the horizon. Both silhouettes were gone now and there was no sign of them having come their way. "I guess Those two will wait for a more opportune time." He got up and faced the cave. "I guess I'll start here." He said, going inside. Espeon and Umbreon looked to him and Espeon followed him inside.
Umbreon walked over to Meowstic, "How are you feeling?" She asked quietly but it sounded more out of curiosity then concern.

"I'm not angry at you." Meowstic said. "But I feel angry. For the first time on this journey I feel like I want the next key."

"I don't know." Meowstic told her. "Maybe I'm just angry at Frosslass. Maybe I want to see what happens to you and Espeon at the end of this. Or maybe I'm just cold and tired and want to leave this icy mountain."

"It's probably all of that." Umbreon said and looked to the sky, "I don't like the cold. Reminds me of being alone. But it does make me want to cuddle up with others." She said and almost skipped into the cave after Espeon.
Absol finally came from his sport once everyone was gone, "We should leave now while they're all distracted."
In the cave, Umbreon walked in on Espeon laying on the floor and Glaceon sitting up with his arms open. He didn't say anything and sat waiting. Glaceon was tense, her small jolts of motion the only evidence of her crying hard to herself once again. She seemed at conflict with herself and Glaceon continued to wait patiently. Umbreon took a seat beside, and almost on top of, Espeon, who filled her in on the details.

"But what about the key?" Meowstic asked Absol and looked towards the cave. "Also, I really want to know what Frosslass' dream is."
|
|

Post by Broly Ultimatrix on Oct 30, 2015 18:45:46 GMT -5
"Fine." Absol said, not really caring about her dream but wanting the key more then anything. He started into the cave.

Meowstic run up next to Absol and followed. "Let's just give her time to finish talking with Glaceon." She told him. Goodra waited outside and looked back towards the horizon where the silhouettes were.

"Fine." Absol said, stopping right outside the cave. You could see the three eeveelutions and the Frosslass but couldn't here them from here, both because they were talking quietly when they did and weren't talking much in the first place. You'd hear them if they spoke up or yelled though.
Glaceon stayed with his arms open, "Frosslass. I can wait forever. How long will you?" He said his expression rather bare as he waited patiently. "How can I trust you? You left off and gave up on me so quickly." Frosslass said, her voice quivering with mixed emotion. "All I can say is that I'm sorry. If I'd known you were alive I would have moved that mountain to find you. Had it ever occurred to me that you might be alive, I'd have searched endlessly." Glaceon said, still holding his arms up and out. "And how can I take you seriously now. How can I trust you knowing you've left me once." Frosslass said, with more anger this time. She looked over her shoulder at Glaceon and her eyes were heavy and red from crying while her brow furled into an angry glare. Glaceon sat unfazed. "I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm not even asking to pick up where we left off." Glaceon said and grinned a small grin, "A wise friend I found on my travels told me that you can't truly escape your past but you can still control your future through your choices. Neither of us are who were were in the past. I've learned a lot. And you've grown into a strong and determined Frosslass. All I want is for you to forgive me for now. I'll work to earn your trust, your friendship, and hopefully some day, your love, again. But more then anything, I need you to forgive me for what I've put you through with my thoughtlessness." He said and Frosslass turned away again, curling up tighter as she hugged her body closely. The following silence was eerie and filled the air of the cave with both a tension and a weight you could cut with a knife. Umbreon was all into the moment as she was hiding her face behind one of Espeon's ears, peaking over it as though anticipating a jump scare. Espeon just looked on the scene with his head cocked to the side, Umbreon having a firm grip on his ear. The wait was long enough that Glaceon's arms started to shake as they grew more tired. "What will you do once we've parted ways" Frosslass said quietly, hardly moving at all as she said it. "I'm hoping we wont part ways. True traveling companions are difficult to come by. And you're irreplaceable." Glaceon replied without the smallest hint of sarcasm or jest. "And what if I leave without you." Glaceon said in an almost normal voice, though there was a hushed quiver in it still. "Then I'll have no choice but to follow at a distance." Glaceon responded in the same was as earlier. "And when If I send you away?" "Then I will follow you from further behind, but follow you none the less. Now that I've found you, I remember how much I need you to feel whole. Nobody can bring me the warmth that your presence gives me. I'm not letting go of you for the rest of my life." "And... What if I say I don't need you anymore..." She said in the quietest voice to hide her own sadness at the question. "Then my life will have lost part of it's meaning. I would still do my best to be there for you and protect you whenever and wherever I can. I won't leave your side even if you push me away yourself." Glaceon said with a surety that spoke if it's finality, "I'm not going anywhere till the day I die." Frosslass floated up and turned around, covering her chest and mouth with her fanned hands, "And how do I know you're not just using flowery language to fool me?" Glaceon grinned again, "Because you've known me for years. And I know you know that I'm serious right now. When I've made my mind up on something, not the entire world can change that." he said, again with an infallible seriousness, "Now come here. My arms are getting tired." He said gesturing his paws for her to approach. Frosslass was hesitant, but slowly floated over to Glaceon. She put one hand on his shoulder and patted it lightly. Glaceon would have none of it and grabbed Frosslass's arm, pulling her into a full embrace. Glaceon was shocked at first, but eventually wrapped one arm around him. Then the other. and before long she was sobbing once more though no words were spoken it was clear they were communicating through the small gestures. Frosslass gripping at the fur on his back so he wouldn't escape. Glaceon resting his chin on Frosslass's shoulder and pressing his cheek against her neck. He rubbed her back slowly and eventually Frosslass was resting on him entirely, not floating at all. She pushed her face into his shoulder to hide her tears and muffle her cries and for the moment, it was just them. They's completely forgotten Espeon and Umbreon were even in the cave with them. And both Espeon and Umbreon wore small and very exuberant grins respectively. Umbreon had finally let go of Espeon's ear as she was clapping without making a sound, like her hands weren't even touching. She even cried a little wiped the few tears away, wiping her hand on Espeon's back. He didn't seem to care as he was focused on this moment between Frosslass and Glaceon.
OOC: How was that? I spent almost two hours typing it up. Hopefully it wasn't too cheesy.

ooc: It was a little cheesy, but not too cheesy. All in all I liked it. Meowstic rolled her eyes when she saw Umbreon clapping her paws. "Everything's a show to her." But a small smile appeared none the less. "I think they're done." Meowstic took a deep breath. "It's time." She told Absol.

OOC: Be honest, it was over the top cheese. Like double topped Cheetos BIC: "Finally." Absol said, "Girls and their relationship problems." Absol said and walked into the cave. Espeon shot him a glance that only partially slowed Absols pace. He had to remember it was four on one right now and he had to tread cautiously. That didn't stop him from announcing his presence with a, "Can I get the key now?" That broke any mood the cave previously had as Glaceon and Frosslass broke their embrace and turned to face Absol. Frosslass looked at Meowstic walking up to them and Glaceon rolled his eyes and looked to Absol with a stale face. Umbreon just gave a pouty face at the ruined mood and left to see Goodra outside. She was always fun to hang out with.

Meowstic looked over to Glaceon before she looked at Frosslass. "I want to know what your dream is?" She asked Frosslass firmly.
Goodra glanced over to Umbreon when she left the cave.

"What do you mean?" Froslass said, unsure of the question. "Like, what do I want to do next?"
"Hey Goodra. Are you still mad?" Umbreon said, sitting a pace away from the Dragon.

"Your wish, in your heart." Meowstic told Frosslass. "I want to know what you truly desire."
"No." Goodra answered Umbreon. "But you keep odd company."
