Shattered shards

Finally whole

A week later...

Frost wandered around his house.

"Thanks to Speed, Black and Trace, I think i'm starting to remember more now. I think my memories are almost complete. " Frost said to himself.

"If i can just remember and find my younger brother...." Frost said to himself.

Entering Black's old room, he looked around for any clues about his younger brother. Reaching Black's desk, he opened the drawer and suddenly spotted a book covered in blood and mud in a drawer.

"Now what could this be?" Frost wondered.

Opening it, he found a treasure trove of old photos of him and his family. Most of his missing memories started to return to him. Soon, he started to notice a name that stuck out to him.

"Black's hatch day... Frost and Black.... Black sleeping with frost... Black's 1st hatch day..." Frost read through the photo album.

"Frost and black... Frost and Black.... Black...." Frost started to remember more and more.

"Black.... Black.... That umbreon who says he knew what i was like was named.... Black! You evolved!?" Frost exclaimed, finally remembering who Black was.

"I need to see more of this!" Frost exclaimed, rapidly reading through the photo album, more and more memories returning to him the more he read.

Soon, Frost had restored most of his memories.

"What... what have i missed?? How hard has it been for you little brother?? I'm so sorry i wasn't there for you... if only i could remember why i lost my memories and ended up in that forest..." Frost said, full of sorrow and regret.

Suddenly, a loud knocking was heard on the door.

"Frost?" Black called out.

Frost quickly put the book back in the drawer. heading to the front door, he opened it to find black waiting for him.

"Black? what are you doing here?" Frost asked, trying to act like he didn't remember him.

"I... have somewhere to show you. i think it can help restore your memories." Black said.

"Alright then. Lead the way." Frost replied.

Black sighed, before turning around and walking, Frost close behind.

passing the city entrance, the two headed deep into the forest.

"Where are we going?" Frost asked.

"its somewhere important..." Black said.

Soon, the two reached a tree.

"We're here..." Black said.

"This tree... this was the tree where i woke up..." Frost said.

"And where i left you..." Black replied, tearing up.

"What do you mean?" Frost asked.

Black took a deep breath.

"When i was 10, i went out on a dare. i was tasked with completing an S-tier mission. on the way out of town, you asked me where i was going. when i didn't reply, you started following me. I managed to get to the last floor before getting ambushed... You... Saved my life. at the cost of your own... You ended up with the injuries you have on your body now..." Black said, tears slowly streaming down his face.

"Halfway back to town you collapsed... i tried to carry you back, but you told me to leave you here... after saying that, you succumbed to your injuries and died." Black said.
