The sounds of shuffling sand and simultaneous shouts could be heard all throughout Dewford Town. War was coming. No one knew when. No one knew where. But there was one thing for certain, Rocket was getting ready to strike soon. League operatives are dispatched far and wide to begin preparing for their invasion at any location that seemed to be targets, and with Noel having stemmed from this island, he volunteered to help out in any way he could for his hometown.[break][break]

Yet even though this was where he had grown up, could he call it home? His whole life he had dreamt nothing more than to escape the confines of this town surrounded by nothing but ocean, and now that he had, here he was again trying to save it. The reasons didn't matter, Rocket was planning an attack and Noel would fight with every being of his body to stop them. He was sure that would feel the same way.[break][break]

He leans back against a lone palm tree, a short rest after having carried so many heavy supplies around and transporting them to the necessary posts. A sigh escapes his lungs. His eyes look forward to the what once was a peaceful town, now transformed into a military outpost. Thoughts run rampant all throughout his mind, thinking of all the possibilities of what could happen here. He becomes oblivious to the world around him, not seeing that a familiar face was approaching.

she has been to so many cities in the past few hours, grazing by and touching them like checkpoints. reports are filtered as best as they can be, but most of it is noise, and her frustratoon at their lack of intel is palpable. already, she's snapped at the last two officers she's seen loitering with empty hands.

half a dozen of her roaring moons circle above them, casting long shadows. dewford isn't the only city with the flying sentinels. dragon tamers from the league's official draciary have been deployed to all major towns.

ori is behind her, the smallest of her salamence, but with him at her heels and the glinting of her silver sygna suit, she pitches an intimidating figure.

"break when this is over, ca - is that you, noel?" the barking orders soften when she recognizes him.

His body tenses up when the sounds of yelling could be heard nearby. His first thought was that he had gotten into trouble for taking even but a moment's rest. But when his name is called out, he looks to see the councilwoman speaking to him now. Or at least he thought it was her. Maybe it was the wooziness back then that hindered his memory of their meeting. There was one thing for certain though, he could never forget someone's voice.[break][break]

"Huh? Freya?"[break][break]

A simple smile greets his savior. Noel was quick to assume that such a dainty town wasn't worthy of someone of her position to take charge here. From what he experienced on those resurfaced islands however, this place had seen its fair share of war already. Due to its location, it might just be easy pickings for Rocket.[break][break]

"I take it your in command here? Sorry, I'll get back to work or else you might put me back in the hospital."[break][break]

A light chuckle is followed up by him standing back up straight. Stretching his arms out from them having rested too long before he resumes his normal posture once more.

dainty town it may be, but it houses a portal to the ultra deep sea. it's not as big a port town as slateport, but the fisheries and canneries dotting the isle are key exports for the sleepy town. in the wake of everything that's happened, she needs to be in a dozen different places at once, with little time to stop and chat. 

"you're back on your feet faster than i thought you might be," she says and tilts her chin, suggesting he follow her. 

"a lot of other folks would have brushed with death like that and put their resignation letters in as soon as sense bled through all the adrenaline. yet here you are. why?"

Truth be told, even though he was discharged from the hospital, he was still told to take it easy and to not stress his body out in any way. He was never going to listen to the doctor's advice however, there was just too much that needed to be done in such a short amount of time. When the call to action was sounded out, he would be one of the first to respond.[break][break]

Walking side by side, the two take a stroll around town, a light breeze cooling them off from the sun beaming down on them.[break][break]

If only today could be like any other day.[break][break]

"What help would me being set aside do? No matter how many times I fall down, I'll always get back up knowing that Rocket or any danger is out there. "[break][break]

He takes a deep breath before continuing on, "Of course I'm... scared of dying... But I'm even more scared of finding out what'll happen if Rocket manages to take over. Its because of that fear, that I'll keep fighting, until my body can't take it anymore."[break][break]

Stopping in his tracks, he takes a long look at Freya's face.[break][break]

"I know of Freya the councilwoman. But what is your reason for continuing on? Don't you ever get tired of it all?"

she fires back with, "what help are you if you're an injured liability on the field?" but if he's been cleared for work, he's been cleared for work. gods know they don't have the bodies to spare. 

there are supplies that need moving and freya does not shy away from the labor. where they walk and where help is needed, she assists. most recognize her. some don't. she doesn't pay them any mind - no reassuring smiles or showy moves. just help

when he asks his question, she straightens and laughs a short, bitter laugh, wiping at the sweat on her brow.

"i'm like you. i have loved ones i care about. i have a home i still need to take back. and honestly?" she starts, resting a hand on the pommel of her sword, "i don't think i could do anything else anymore except fight."

They were alike in this way. Ever since enlisting in the League, he has known nothing but strife in the name of protecting his home region. Fight after fight he grew more and more weary. Each battle he could feel himself getting closer to death, knowing that one day, one bad move was all it took to end everything. [break][break]

The thought was something that entered his mind at the worst of times. When he's left with nothing but his imagination, his mind begins to wonder if the next day would be his last. He pushes these thoughts aside as always. There was simply no time to deal with these feelings, there was always something that needed to be doing. A war to be fighting.[break][break]

"But what happens after? When the dust is settled and if we achieve peace at last... Then where will you be? I... honestly can't see myself doing anything else other than this."[break][break]

He looks into Freya's eyes, a tinge of sadness scattered across his face.[break][break]

"The longer this goes on... The more I think a normal life just isn't meant for us."

people adapt. it's the human condition. she wouldn't be the first to tell you she's a different person than she was only three years ago. it's hard, imagining a future where there is room for complacency. safety. peace. shadows linger wherever there is light; the fight will never be over, but maybe one day it won't be so cataclysmic. 

and then?

"i'll be with my dragons. my family." her voice softens. in a snapshot, she sees delta getting older, seaside hours lounging with king, her estate, restored to its former glory. 

"it's too easy to lose sight of why we do this. and when you're not fighting for someone, for something, you start to fight for the wrong reasons." for glory. for power. for blood

"it's important to remember that."

To have someone waiting for you once all this was over.[break][break]

Must be nice.[break][break]

Throughout his entire life, no one offered to lend their aid to the poor and struggling child, all alone and hateful of the world he was born into. No family to come back home to, no friends to speak to of his troubles. The only person with whom he even had a small bond with being his caretaker, who was taken before him before he even had a chance to grow up. His Pokemon were the only ones on who he could rely on.[break][break]

For these reasons does he fight to make sure no one has to live through that experience.[break][break]

"I'd rather die than to let myself stoop so low. I can't see how those in Rocket can do what they do. They're the very cause for us turning this town into a war zone. I won't stop until I see them completely destroyed. Until each and every one of them are taken in."[break][break]

Was jail the best solution? Everything would be so much simpler if Noel had no restraint, nothing to hold him back from repaying back the treatment those in Rocket would give him. He pauses for a moment, carefully thinking next on his choice of words.[break][break]

"Freya have you ever... killed someone? With how much death I've seen, I feel as though its become a common occurrence around here. If Rocket wouldn't hesitate to take my life... then why shouldn't I do the same to them? Yet in the times I've gotten close to doing it... I always find myself pulling back and suffering for it... Does that make me weak?"

they're similar in more ways than they know. she was born to a corpse, kicking and screaming and pulling what was left of her mother's lifeblood, forgotten by a father who could not care for her. so long had she spent trying to make something of herself. her viciousness was righteous because she took it out on bullies. on people who preyed upon the weak.

and it was so simple, those few short years ago, when those bullies had grown to wear r-emblazoned uniforms.

"everyone has their breaking point," she says. "there are some in the organization who may be irredeemable, but the many? noel, how many people are there because the league failed them? because they've been ostracized, marginalized, cast aside.

"some people are in rocket because they have family. because they have no other choice. and i think about that sometimes - about the people i've cut down. the people i've burned."
 a ruined ekans in her arms, the sizzle-pop satisfaction of flesh and bones melting into one. screams of the damned, silence of the damner. 

"no. it makes you human. a lot more human than some of us." she hesitates. "but there will be a lot more death in the months to come."

When the time came, could he do it? Did he even have a choice? Would he deny an order if the League commanded him to take away something so precious as a life?[break][break]

He shuddered to think of what would become of him should he face these consequences... But would he be right in doing so? After all... it would only be repayment for all the sorrow and hardships Rocket has caused, not only to him, but everyone.[break][break]

No... Just as the councilwoman says, they're people, like him, her, or anyone for that matter. It was up to people like Noel, to help them see the error of their ways. Even if some of those in the League might say otherwise.[break][break]

"I know, I... I need to fight or else more people may get hurt. And I know it isn't just Rocket that's at fault, I guess its just too easy to put the blame onto them... That's why..."[break][break]

He pauses, thinking whether it would be brave or foolish to speak what was on his mind. Yet the words were screaming at him to be released.[break][break]

"I'm not going to just fight Rocket... There are those in the League that are corrupted and need to be dealt with as well. I know I'm not alone in this. But that kind of battle will take longer than with our current enemies. One that I might never see the end of."[break][break]

His eyes pierce into Freya's. Determination drawn plain across his face, there was no changing his mind on this topic. Then he relaxes, a drawn out sigh escaping his lips.[break][break]

"Sorry, I didn't mean to get so serious all of a sudden. Probably not something you want to hear from someone you're going to be working with."

Tranquil Tension [m]

their words are broken intermittently with the need to catch their breaths. people march around them, fulfilling a growing list of duties, and the tension in the air brings an oppressive exhaustion. when they've finished with their task, she moves them over to a water station. 

she drinks deeply while he talks.

"don't apologize," she says while holding out a bottle for him. "you know, when i first earned the council seat, i prattled to my fantasies of a coup. purging the corruption in the system and all that."

her eyes close. she sees the wolfish, grinning face of the councilman's brother behind closed lids. 

"we need more men like you. the philosopher could tell you the system is broken, but you - you're a man of action. you'll do something about it." a tight smile. "i look forward to seeing it. and to knowing you're on my side in the months to come."
