Absol got to her feet and began to walk away. Her clothing was smeared with blood and her face weary and saddened. She did not know where she would go, somewhere alone, somewhere quiet, yes, that sounded nice. Not once did she look back, and not once did anyone try to stop her, she needed to be alone, alone for a long time. In her hand was the Azure Flute. Energy seemed to flow through it in perfect harmony with itself, what else was to be expected of an object that could open the path to the gods.
Raising it to her lips, she blew into it and received a soft note; kind and sad. The last thing the group heard from her as she vanished into the woods, was a beautiful but sad song that brought peace to all that heard it as it echoed across the timeless hills, which wept with the passing of the old world which would never be seen again.
Tina roused in the world of the forgotten. Her wounds were gone and she felt the strength of the lonely world around her soothe her beaten soul.
"So you are awake" came the voice of Giratina
"Yes" said Tina, "Not that I deserve it."
"And why is that?" asked Giratina
"Because I failed." said Tina, "I went there to stop him from dying, yet he was still slain."
"But that isn't what you went to do is it?" said Giratina, "You went there to stop anyone from dying, that is where you failed. Someone was bound to die in the place but you did not have the resolve to decide who it was."
"What are you saying?" asked Tina
"You did not have the resolve to kill either of them." said Giratina, "If you wanted one to live then in return you must wish for the other to die."
"But thats monstrous" gasped Tina.
"That's the way it is" said Giratina, "The world does not try to be kind, it just does what it needs to do, one way or another."
"Then why did I even need to be there!?" yelled Tina
"Because you had to bear witness." said Giratina, "If you were not willing to open the wound that would allow one to die, then you must be there to see how it ended without you. Now, the time of decision has come. The old world is fading and I am not longer fit to watch over this place. Will you take up that mantle? Will you become the one that keeps this, the most savage of worlds in check?"
Tina was silent. She had failed at what she had hoped to achieve, yet with this she could make up for it. Bud did she deserve to have such a role in fate? Did she want such a responsibility to rest on her thin shoulders?
She raised her head and looked Giratina in the face. "I shall accept your offer and shall take my duty. Take me and train me as you see fit."
"Very well" said Giratina as all the lofty heavens and cavernous hells bore witness to the acceptance of the crown of thorns that this world was to it's protector.
OOC: And here we have it. This is the conclusion of Tina's and Absol's roles. I'm still waiting on Shadow to judge the
other post, but I'm done till next time. Now I have to get to work on my entry posts for the next one. Oh, I will also hopefully be getting LOZ back up and going again soon now that I have some semblance of an event order planned out for the next part or so. Until then, enjoy this little gift:
