[Somewhere between Cherrygrove and Violet, there is a tree.]

[In this tree is a flock of Murkrow--which the Venomoth holding the Pokegear seems to be focusing on before moving back to her trainer. And standing nearby? Lancer, with an unusually serious expression on his face as he stared at the birds in silence.]

['I guard your death.' That was what she had said to him. And it had been true, of course--the Morrígan was more often than not a herald of the end for many warriors of Ireland. Even the greatest one of his era had been no exception.]

[And now, staring at this flock of what must have passed for crows--messengers of the goddess herself--Ulster's hound felt strangely uneasy. When he finally did speak, it was in a serious tone. His words may have sounded like mere superstition, but there was a strange weight to them that made it sound like something much more than that.]

...I've always known ravens as an ill omen. I wonder if the same holds true in Johto.

[Lancer couldn't quite help but wonder: was this a warning that he going to die again? Not that he feared the idea, but he had more important things to do than add a third death to his list.]

Mm.

However, looking back at what has happened over the past few months... I doubt this will be anything but easy.

Course it won't be easy. It's never easy, and having harbingers of death follow me around isn't doing anything to make me suspect that'll change.

But hey, we'll live through it. Probably.

Is it ever? And, I'd really like to live through it. I'm in no mood to reincarnate.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I'm sure as hell not looking to put a third death on my list, either.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Even if death here is kind of odd.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...?

Care to explain what you mean by that?

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Well, you remember that thing with the bugs, right?

{Video}

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

A little too well, yeah.

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

That is what you hope.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Might as well try to be something of an optimist, right?

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

-- a fair enough point. Besides, at least as far as Johto is concerned, there is no way to come to this world voluntarily.

If I ever had an attachment to something physical in the world, it would be that blade. My Noble Phantasm has served me well, but it is not my Caliburn.

Well, I was working at the Goldenrod Pokemon Center, and occasionally, someone would be brought in who just... faded away, nothing we could do saved them.

They died, in effect. But then...

{Video}

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

What, they just woke up or something?

{Video}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Not quite. They came back, but it was a long and bitter fight for them.

Sweating, shaking, high fevers... It was not a pleasant thing to witness.
