purplekitteChapter Seven: Savior
(a/n: credit goes to Shinji and Warhammer 40k chapter 33 and the Eden of the East opening for most of this chapter's turn of phrase)
Excerpt from an inscription in the Resort Desert:
Our seers say this: a time will come when we are enslaved, when the world is corrupt, and we will call out for deliverance.
Our hero will return to us then, the young king that stands at the limits of our vision, the one anointed by fate.
In Zekrom’s shadow, he will be the bright lord that shines through the mist. He is he that doubts, he that denies, he whose wrath would shatter this world.
In Reshiram’s brightness, he shall be the king that sits upon his golden throne. He is he that believes, he that commands, he who lays the foundation of our faith.
In our own time we have seen the hero ascend to heaven and have heard of his glory. He has saved our world. I saw the messiah standing before me with no words but “Hope.” You have shown us wonder and given us your love.
The king has come! To lighten our feet. To save us from the dark. Who could ever doubt? We have faith.
Let me walk with you when I’m lost in the wild, ever upward. I know you always lead me to another Eden.
And in this time all shall bless the name of the young king, the anointed one, and peace shall be upon man and mon.
Translator’s note: Ancient Unovan is a gender-neutral language. The masculine forms were used here, but the prophesized hero in question could as easily be a queen as a king.
