i'll chase the light of that distant star "You would dishonour her like this?" Talia said, anger now overcoming what little of her better judgment remained. "You would have her waste her gifts in destroying me, a mere speck upon this land you so joylessly conquered? She is more than a weapon for you to threaten and menace with."
Since she was a child in Ecruteak City, Talia had dreamt of witnessing the majesty of Lugia, the resident of her home's long-destroyed Brass Tower.
Throughout the seasons of her life, Talia had performed intricate songs and dances in honour of this beautiful guardian of sky and sea, the gentle rise and fall of her hands mimicking the powerful sweep of Lugia's white wings, the silvery fabrics of her robes reflecting the vistas of its moonlit seas below her might. Talia could recite poetry in the avian creature's honour, recall countless hymns written to express her storied legacy.
Witnessing Lugia now, however, held none of the awe that Talia had anticipated in encountering that most blessed being among Pokemon. Instead, the sight of the Shadow Pokemon pulled on her heartstrings to induce despair and dread, intertwined as a single knot of terror. The sobering reality of Lugia's plight struck her like that very same lightning that had smote her from the heavens, and sent her into the care of @bronze on the brink of death.
Hadn't it been Lugia she had dreamed of, the moment her body crashed into the sea?
Not so long ago, that encounter. A reminder that Talia was not much different today than that weak girl who had almost died while thrown against the shore.
"If you demand I attack her, then I shall. Though it gives me no joy to do so."
Lyra's mouth opened, and the glaring light of a HYPER BEAM radiated forth -- directly towards the twisted mockery that now called herself the Guardian of the Seas.
