The Princess rolled over in her bed before giving her bleary eyed response, “Barely, what is it Vee?”
“You have a Visitor!”
“I don’t think that’s a very believable prank, Vee. It’s been ages since my last visit. Who would come all the way here to see me in the middle of the night?”
“It’s your brother…”
The Princess let out a sigh, “Yeah that tracks, send him in…”
The Quilava entered the dimly lit bedroom and began to speak as the Princess lit a candle. “Hey Cyndra, I’m sorry it’s been a while-” The Brother stopped as he finally caught a glimpse of his sister illuminated in the flame of the candle. “Oh sis, you look…”
“You don’t have to mince words Kwill, I know I look like shit”
“I didn’t mean it like that, I just… What happened since the last time I was here?”
“Same thing that’s been happening for a while. I’m dying Kwill, it just gets faster as it goes along…”
“I-I don’t know what the right thing is to say right now…” The Quilava said, dejected.
“To your credit, I’m not sure there IS a right thing to say.”
A silence between the siblings.
“I’m sure you’ll meet Arceus. I think you’re a really good person… And I’m sure you’ll spend the whole time just asking questions for some book” The Brother said nervously.
“I’m not sure I want to meet him. He did a pretty shitty job with this world. And I think I only have one question…”
“Heh, what are you talking about? Would you rather spend eternity in the Null of The Gate.”
“You know, Giratina has only been seen as an evil deity in modern times! And that ‘Null’ place you're talking about might very well be the link to other worlds!”
“Oh more history. I’ll be sure to but in a good word for you with The Gate after you bore me to death”
The siblings chuckle, settling into a banter they were more comfortable with.
The brother spoke again, “So is that your plan, ride the Null till you end up in the human world?”
“I can’t deny it’s something I’d want to see. What do you think their world is like, Kwill?”
The Quilava beamed forward in his explanation, “With all those amazing humans there. It must be a paradise! A perfect and free utopia that can create the exceptional heroes they send here!”
And with that the breath was taken out of the room. The Princess’s momentary energy blanketed with the exhaustion of reality. “You know, I can’t agree with that. But part of me hopes it’s true.”
“I didn’t mean to…” The Brother attempts to apologize.
“No it’s fine, It’s a nice thought. And maybe it would finally answer my sole question I have for the gods.” The Princess rolled back in bed. “Why the fuck did they think it was a good idea to send them here”
