Eyebrows raised on a stretched face to help hold everything behind it. She set down serious topics she didn't know how to handle, and the most invasive thoughts turned to alcohol and a long-overdue cigarette. Something to shift her head. She wanted to get drunk and work on computers in the safe, lonely depths of the ocean.

But here she still stayed.

She took a deep breath, and heavier gravity pulled the top of her forehead to his chest. He was the drug. His scent invaded her mind like creeping ditch weed, unseen.

“I don’t know how else to handle it.” Somewhere in there was a ‘sorry.’

[attr="class","spiral"]“One step at a time.

Fernando finds himself emboldened by her. To laugh in the face of the inevitable. Because he will conquer it as he does all things. Whatever torment he’s put her through, whatever lies he tells her, is all wiped clean by his handiwork.

There is a smug satisfaction that comes with recycling the disposable Saorise Quinn into the Lulu Flint that eats right out of his hand. Like domesticating a stray. And, despite how much Fernando tells himself he could end her without blinking, having her restructured pulls him closer to her.

A dollmaker’s attachment to his work.

Fingers run through her hair, running half-hearted promises along her scalp.

“Ok.”

It was hard not to think of Rinc, and the nightmares of his face. His awful words, and what she felt was his rightful justification like a dagger in her heart. She deserved it. But, just as Fernando had the ability to literally bring him back from the dead and then send him away again at will, so did his MIST chase him from her mind. In doing so, the dagger was removed. His fingers on her scalp sewed a patch.

She looked up, nose brushing under his chin before lips went to find his. Her voice was soft, rejecting the edge of her emotions which hung in some spectral frequency within her tone.

“Tonight first, then.” Would there be another? “What now?”

[attr="class","spiral"]A simple kiss is what normalizes their intimacy. Feeling her touch (anyone’s, frankly) is enough to grow his attachment in the moment. He responds in kind, coddling her close until lips part.

I believe you were suppose to make me say your name?

Within his embrace were the puzzle pieces. She could see the outline of truth, somewhere behind a steamed-up mirror. The MIST was not the only thing which drew her in. It was now that his touch came with flashes and sensations of something which felt like an alternate reality. It was morbid curiosity which pulled her in, when she should have listened to her instincts. She needed to know. Why did he invade her mind?

Even Darkrai was drawn to the dreams of him. Was it because he was an avatar, maybe?

“What, in here?” She looked up at him, dragging a lip over his. Wheels were already turning visibly, mischievously. She decided to test something.

Playfully, Lulu would push at his shoulders towards the closest wall, attempting pin him as best she could with his height. Lips went to his neck, tracing down towards collarbone with a light, challenging nip.

[attr="class","spiral"]“Mmhmm.

Fernando doesn’t dare interrupt the way she unravels him with conversation. As lips perform so do words become silent, a mere audience as muffled sound echo within their throats.

A look for dominance is met with a half-heart surrender. He does not back down from a challenge but this one is laced in seeing how far she can commandeer him. She wants to hear her name? Then so be it.

For once, he is eager to surrender. Why? Because of what it’ll take to push him that far.

She felt her adrenaline spike, but chalked it up to excitement. Something else was taking over. No. she defied him, lingering over lips which clearly expected to be fed.

If he allowed, she would lead him down a hall to find a bed, only because she still had doubts that he was down to earth enough to lie with his back on a bathroom floor. When one was found, however, she wasn’t gentle with the way she pushed him onto it. As she did so, her heart lurched at the shards of a shattered mind reflecting a distant image—one of him knocked down a different time. There was blood on his face.

Instead of a fist, as for some reason she briefly felt it should be, it would be lips. A hand winding into hair, testing boundaries. As everything began to rise—emotion, adrenaline, unplaceable anger and fear which bled through, naked—so too did darkness pool at the floor, so that, if he’d been able to look, it would seem that the bed was suspended in total abyss.

As she changed, so did a shadow in the far corner of the room. It shifted, bowing out and eyeing him predatorily, still likely unseen. The god of darkness was there with them, waiting for an opportune moment to strike. Tapu Fini’s Avatar was unarmed. His god was nowhere to be seen. He was utterly vulnerable.

[attr="class","spiral"]Refusal is not something to be tolerated. It is a concept that eludes Fernando’s favor. These people, mere insects, are meant to obey him. Because he knows better. To see them oppose him on their misguided ideals sickens him to the core.

But here, in an intimacy bred between someone meant to cater to his whim, is a flash of excitement.

His momentum falters when his bare ass meets the edge of the bed. Backed into a corner, he folds, supine with expectation. What drapes over him is not just darkness but a momentary weakness pried apart by someone willing to swallow his pent up frustration.

Everyone has needs.

Fernando loves through physical touch. Not a love direct at a person, but the raw emotion peels away from the human tethers of attachment. It’s essence, a need to care, blossoms in his response, burying his attentiveness in a humility of moans and well placed kisses.

As a human, Fernando makes love to her, engorged on her willingness to entertain his necessity.

However, Fernando is not just human. He is an Avatar. A being that puts aside their earthly attachments for a chance to be something greater: to carry out their will.

The body is a temple, the means of a contract that houses the fantastical in ways unforeseen. The palpations of the heart, bled through sweat and rising exertions, push his body to the edge. Stress, whether good or bad, start a reaction that drenches the room in the musk of his MISTY TERRAIN. His release comes in more ways than one.

Lulu!

Exasperation splits the fog in half. Her DARK VOID may entrap him, cozy in the sense that it clenches him with a vice grip untold, but she cannot coax him without challenge. In the folds of her darkness is a void to be filled.

To contain him is to set a limit. This is the cage. Its dimensions are set in stone, able to expand, but fixed to the limits of its foundation. So what happens when he goes beyond? When he expands to her limit and then some?

He fills her with MISTY TERRAIN. The way it expands is gentle at first, plenty of space to inhabit until he there is no crevice that does feel him. When her limit is reached, he does not stop. What barrier he cannot pass, he applies more pressure. It gets thicker with intensity, a smog of emotions becoming visible as the space becomes laced in a hazy of primal instincts.

In the gasps that comes from a room alit in cool colors is the silhouette of his guardian.

Each Legendary is different. Some baby their humans while others watch from a forlorn distance. Tapu Fini is an anomaly among them. It cares not for Fernando in the same vein his Pokemon mean nothing to him. They are simply a means to an end, business partners as sure as the marrow in their bones.

The agreement is simple: a balance must be maintained.

And to that end, Tapu Fini will offset the scales anytime they lean too far against him. In the hallows of their bedroom, within the pit of Darkrai’s influence, Tapu Fini remains lurking, a blotted out moon in the cloudy night sky.

It was not Lulu’s own mind which caused her to dream of skin. Of people like him, but also others. Those who had managed to increase the rate of her heart without harming it. Feeling something was her craving. The way Lulu’s mind was wired, she didn’t necessarily need a warm body. At least, not now. Not after Rinc. Perhaps not even before him.

In some ways, looking at her as a late bloomer was more than a positive outlook—it was insanity. Maybe with the right person, some day, if she wasn’t too damned to be worth another blessing. But that blessing wasn’t here. Not in this strange sweat, on this pervasive terrain of death and deceit. Her darkness misled her, time and time again, but a guardian who knew it well enough to guide her now reigned like a compass in pitch night. It presided, near a bed, near a battlefield, judging with a righteous hammer of truth.

Before the hammer could come down, however, a force permeated like the mind-altering mist which kept the legendary at bay—boring deeper than immediate ill intent over such human interactions. Attention redirecting, it rose, through boards and insolation, and out into the cool evening it ruled. Emboldened by the moon, it sought its newest rival—they who had become the primary threat to its earthly representative.


“Tapu Fini!


Below the roof, the hammer clattered, forgotten in the abyss. Love, as he’d written it, sealed with his MISTY TERRAIN, filled her—in particular, a void which he himself had created. False as it was, it all sounded like truth in primal sounds. All of her building emotions, without context or memories to attach them to, merely became the incredible feeling which he gave her.

He made her feel alive.

“Fernando…”

[attr="class","spiral"]‘Traitor.’

Tapu Fini does not dignify its enemy with a name. Such an honor is beneath the scum that refuse to abide by their duty. An allegiance to Rocket or the League means little. The fact that Darkrai dares intrude is all the Tapu needs to know.

Meddler.’

To put such stake into humans is unfitting to beasts capable of such feats. They are Gods, ascended, above the human morals and limitations of their representatives. That transgression is what makes this conflict more personal than any other spat between opposing force.

Feeble.’

Purple light manifests into an orb that ignites the darkness. The MOONBLAST is cast among a shroud of MISTY TERRAIN, increasingly blinding as the Pokemon takes aim. Tapu Fini rises, its black shell blending into the sky around them.

Selfish.’

A purple streak of energy, mistaken for a shoot star, streaks in the night sky.

Meaningless words, tossed by a moistened queen of bones in the dirt.

As their power glowed, so did its own—black, to purple, threatening red. It was going, going… When the MOONBLAST’s trajectory cut it off from its target, it only served to fuel Darkrai's rage.

A low growl bellowed through the night air, thunder without lightning; without light of any kind, as the world washed away. A DARK VOID opened up in the sky, pooling out to eat away at all reality until there was nothing left except black, and the two of them. 

Darkrai didn’t dive away this time, as it had before, at the workshop. Instead, it faced the land deity head-on, attempting another full-throttle assault. FRUSTRATION in bleeding, divine energy left the god's jagged form as it delivered its own judgment:


“Abomination!”

[attr="class","spiral"]This time there is no relief to be found in the DARK VOID. While its avatar may find himself plunging head first, Tapu Fini does not. The silence is deafening. Left in a world painted in darkness seethes with artificial malice.

It can feel the FRUSTATION riveting from the other. Here, in Darkrai’s domain, it is more powerful than Tapu Fini can imagine. Without someone to break through, the tides of battle become lopsided.

And so the tides it will turn to.

The rebuttal from the attack send Tapu Fini flying into the rigid walls of its DARK VOID. The barrier is intangible but refrains from allowing the Pokemon the sweet release it deserves. Its shell reverberates on impact, pushing it back in, as Tapu Fini thrusts both hands forward in defiance.

A wild SURF spills from the contents of its shell. Water condensed into a vortex sprouts forward, but whether or not it finds purchase matters not. It exists and therefore it takes up space. If Tapu Fini cannot escape then neither can Darkrai.

They will drown in mutual destruction.

It could feel her, below the roof. Her heart, her breath, her succumbing. Giving in, collapsing to alterations of the mind—a mind which belonged to Darkrai, now. This was trespassing and vandalism. This was personal.

A powerful wave suddenly towered over them, stories high, and the god growled angrily as it came down, unexpected. The threshold of Darkrai’s realm was indiscernible, but the SURF filled it with ease. For a moment, they were plunged roughly into water together. For a few seconds, it was almost enough to end it.

Eyes of ice opened beneath the depths. No. 

The black world around them suddenly faded back to reality, their dark pool in the abyss falling with them in a sudden downpour. They were both released. Through the water spiraled a DARK PULSE.

[attr="class","spiral"]The pool of Tapu Fini’s wrath empties onto the roof below. It bursts on contact, desecrating the concrete with puddles that have no end. It leaves them in the air, bound by their own powers.

A DARK PULSE surge past the water. Its energies burn onto the Tapu Fini’s skin. Every inch it bears into the Pokemon’s flesh is a mist of fairy powder that bleeds from the open wound.

The same cannot be said in return. Pink electricity comes from anguish. Nature itself is displeased by the Dakrai’s opposition. Enough to drive it mad.

NATURE’S MADNESS rips through the air seeking revenge.

Darkrai’s pain and rage was vocal as a surge hit, and rattled it to its core. Out of the VOID, under a moon which Tapu Fini connected with, the power of NATURE’S MADNESS was too great. Shadow seared and smoked as pink energy attacked from all angles.

There was little left, and this was clear as its dark form began to fall out of the sky, down, back towards the roof.

One last time, Darkrai glowed with its FRUSTRATION. The damage the god would take from the impact, itself, would end the battle—if it hit. And hopefully it would be mutual.

It stopped its descent, suspended a moment before it sailed  back up towards the land deity one final time.
