[nospaces] [attr="class","sunandstars"] [attr="class","sunandstarsw"] the battle finally comes to an end and in the ashes of one bird of prey comes another. an egg forms and sam is the one to whom it imprints on, that feather in his pocket the key to why. he thinks back to when keldeo had taken time in his stay, remaining on mt. pyre until he was healed up.[break][break] but can 'raising a legendary' really count as the same thing?[break][break] as royalty is crowned and people begin to settle, there are words of miasma that come to light. it is made blindingly clear they cannot go home and that idea haunts him. he is thankful to know that it is some sort of otherworldly dream place, but he doesn't understand or know much more than that. which is exactly why he must learn more.[break] [break]
[break][break] THE FIRST MONTH[break] that is exactly where all of his efforts are poured. straight into learning all that he can about the stars. they apparently hold secrets, secrets that he wants to help unearth. he's no professional, but his eidetic memory from back in the real world holds strong even in the realm of dream and prophecy, this trick of the mind.[break][break] it is not just the stars that rapture his attention. the galarian articuno hatches and he takes great care of it. protects it with all of his other pokémon. it is raised to understand that life is not what is handed to you, not what you make it. it is not black or white. it is, in fact, the opposite of death. it is all things at once only colliding with a small fraction of time, one's own time; and from there, life takes root.[break][break] he trains the bird as much as he can. he does not name the legendary, not entirely sure if such a thing is even allowed. he gleans what he can and helps it to grow strong.[break] [break]
[break][break] THE FIRST YEAR[break] as one month begins to blur into twelve, sam keeps himself occupied with constant tasks. he serves as the warden of the stars, keeping those researching how to get home safe and helping in any way that he can.[break][break] his primary focus in the first year becomes that prophecy and keeping protection around those who would need it with all the uprisings.[break][break] all while longing and yearning for home. after all, he's only just gotten his happiness back. he's only just seen the light of his stars and the bright cool light of his moon for the first time in what felt like forever after burying his mother...[break] [break]
[break][break] A DECADE PASSED[break] he is the same face with a bit more age. he is still clean shaven and well kept. he still sports a pair of sport capris and a hoodie. tattoos remain across his skin, stained forever into his skin.[break][break] warden of the stars and keeper of one of the legendary birds birthed from that death, he holds his title with pride.[break][break] in the absence of knox prescott, he has become even more stoic than usual. in the absence of his stars, he is a black and void sky. in the absence of his sun, he holds no warmth. with no moon, there is little ebb and flow to the waters of emotion within him.[break][break] all he wants, all he wishes for, is a way home. however he may come about it, that is what he fights for.
