Warming Hearts
A/N: I'm in the home stretch for this story over on fanfiction.net, but I also decided to share it with you guys here. I think I tried about a year ago, but it didn't go great. Oh well, second time's the charm.
I hope y'all enjoy this first part, and see how this story all began. Roll it!
Prologue
Once upon a time, about six years ago, in an unknown realm, at least unknown to humans, all of the Legendary Pokémon from all over the world gathered for a most urgent meeting. Arceus himself was presiding over the meeting.
"Come, my fellow beings of legend." He said telepathically.
The legends all grew quiet as they listened to their superior. "I have called all of you here today to discuss a most troubling situation."
He summoned forth a golden orb of light in the middle of the meeting place, so that everyone could see. "In the land that the humans call Sinnoh, I've heard the prayers and pleas of many Pokémon for several weeks." Arceus said. "These particular Pokémon live in a mountainous area of the region where a young human princess lives. She treats them and her own human servants coldly and selfishly."
The Legendary Pokémon voiced out their anger and shock, their voices clamoring over one another. "Peace!" Arceus cried, quieting them again. "Before we should take any matters seriously, we need to examine her and her ways."
Just then, the Lake Trio floated up to Arceus. These triplets were very concise with their observations of humans. Azelf and his sisters, Mesprit and Uxie, spoke in young but wise voices.
"We will go and observe." Azelf said.
Arceus nodded in agreement. He trusted Azelf's judgement. The humans don't call him the Being of Willpower for nothing. Uxie is very wise beyond her years, earning her the title of the Being of Knowledge. Mesprit is kind, and if they must take drastic measures, she will show them mercy. That kindness gave her the name, the Being of Emotion.
"Very well." Arceus gave his consent. "Go."
With that, the Lake Trio disappeared from the anonymous realm and back to Earth in three flashes of light of their respective colors.
*************************************
In a matter of seconds, the Lake Trio had arrived at a tall, stone castle with three main towers, and dark blue flags at every high point of it. Over at one side of the building, it had a large and lovely field of Gracidea flowers. It looked like a lovely and regal place.
Azelf looked over at Mesprit and Uxie, and they all nodded as they spoke to each other telepathically. They will stay out of sight for a couple of days to examine this princess, and then, they'll decide what they need to do with her. They never like to punish anyone, but for both humanity and Pokémon, they will do what needs to be done.
During that time as they observed from out of sight, they saw that the princess was a lovely pre-teen girl, about eleven years old, with long, midnight blue hair, fair skin, and matching blue eyes, but they seemed as cold as stone; no light in them. Her name was Princess Dawn; talk about irony. They were shocked to see her servants tending to every single task that she asks of them, and yet, she doesn't give any credit for their work. The servants didn't dare talk back to her about this though, if they wanted to risk losing their jobs.
But what horrified them the most was that she treated the Pokémon living around the castle grounds just as cold as her servants. She wouldn't want any near her, not even her own. And she was spoiled, selfish, and ungrateful. They knew what they needed to do now.
