“Ah, it’s too bad you’re not so well versed in it, I’d be fascinated to hear the stories of your world... I suppose I can hardly expect everyone from any given world to know them all, though.”

“Wait, who’s Zygarde? And what does Ho-Oh have to do with Lugia?” Celeste stopped to think for a moment. “If they’re counterparts in your world, they could be counterparts here, too. The fact that it was the two of them together may not have been coincidence... “Did I just say something...

“Lugia is one thing, but the loss of Ho-Oh is... frightening. The loss of Lugia would be disastrous, but if we lost Xerneas, Ho-Oh or Yvelatl... The cycle of life as we know it wouldn’t function. It would be as ruinous as losing one of Arceus’ Firstborn. Or Arceus themself.” There was also the...

Logging beta reading for someone offsite and doing an hour of writing.

“Yeah, that was her all right. I just wanted to get some starlight, but she beat me within an inch of my life. Dragged it out for... what felt like hours. Used me as bait to get everyone out so that she could challenge us. She’s holding a higher being hostage. Lugia... and possibly Ho-Oh, too.”...

Celeste stirred. He hurt all over. What had happened last nigh- Oh right. That. “Is... Is anyone else here? What time is it?”

“During this era of...” Celeste hacked and coughed, like he was going to cough up his lungs. He must’ve suffered some kind of internal injury from the corrupted higher being who’d beaten the snot out of him before holding another seemingly equally corrupted higher being hostage. “Peace?”

Celeste drifted back into consciousness and opened his eyes... The pain was awful. The fight had felt like an eternity... but now he was surrounded by his teammates. “I... I’m back. Is everything... fine? Meringue?

To say Celeste had been clinging onto consciousness would be a generous description. He had, at best, been in and out of consciousness... Though it had been much more out than in. However, he was lucid enough that he was able to take advantage of Bahamut’s distraction to pry at Darkwhite’s grip...

“It was some kind of ligh- Oh.” Bahamut was gone. <><><><><>

“Don’t worry, my world is fine. Our higher beings are content to let we mortals live our lives as we please. Really, nothing of note has happened since the humans disappeared, and that was many centuries ago.”

“There are many of them, and their domains overlap. Even if one decided to defect, their counterparts could keep them in check. The fundamental ones should have wisdom and experience stretching back to the beginning of time, too... though... That seems not to be the case in this world. They’re...

Those last couple sentences reminded him of his sister. It had been the better part of a month since he’d seen Salac, but his usual response still came easily to him. “Sure, I won’t stress about you. I’m still allowed to want you to be comfortable... Even if I’m not entirely sure what it is...

“Well, it hasn’t been taken yet. There’s no point to getting so caught up in worrying about that part that you miss the chance to exist here.”

Celeste hummed for a moment as he though. “Wether we’ll forget or not, we’re here now. No reason not to make what we can of this time. Surely you can at least appreciate being your new form, no? You seem to be feeling at least somewhat better now. If you’re going to have to go back to being the...

Oh, I dunno if I logged this in an official enough capacity yet: Celeste’s Radiant is +3 evasion, under the name Radiant Vision

“Ah, I see where the idea came from, then. You’ve seen some real events during your lifetime. Is all this just another thing to you, then?”

“I’ve heard of your World Ender and your suspicions, but not under this name... I don’t know much about them, though. What was it that made you suspect its involvement?”

Celeste huffed. “Come on now, I didn’t call your hearing into question when you didn’t know who Arceus or Dialga was. Your world has different higher beings than mine, we’ve figured that much out by now. I certainly haven’t heard of anything that can suffocate an entire world, thank goodness...

Celeste stopped to think. “People and nature should work in tandem, yes, but we also bend it to our own wills as we see fit. Our ability to set aside our normal role in nature is what makes us different from ferals.” The rest... didn’t mean much to him. “And I’ve got nothing against Natus...
