Monsters lurk in the corners of our minds. They prowl and snarl at any sense of happiness, ushering in a darkness with each step they take. These creatures take on many different forms to slowly tear us apart. Some tether us to our beds, refusing to let us walk under the beautiful sun. Some of them suffocate us in crowds, their claws tearing at our throats with a crowing laugh ringing in our ears. For Kate Hitomi, Hero of Almia, vanquisher of shadows, and bringer of light.. Her mind is nothing but darkness. Ever since she was young the monsters have manifested themselves as nightmares. However they are worse than they've ever been. Kate can't close her eyes without screams rising in her chest, her entire body trembling and laced in a cold sweat. It kills her friends to see her like this. But what can they do? Keith can only hold her as she cries. Rhythmi can only listen with their hands intertwined. The fight is no longer tangible, or as easy to capture a raging pokémon. For the war rages within Kate's mind. (Vatonageshipping, Shadows of Almia Fanfiction. Cover art was edited by me, but actual art was not drawn by me.

「I was stupid, so stupid.」 「Just control me, and make the whispers stop.」 • • • Celeana Asthansia is the first victim that has been released from the Meowstic's den. For five long years, she's been hurt, traumatised and controlled, losing any sense of independence she had. Now, five years later, she's been through severe therapy, and she's ready to go on her first Pokemon journey. The freedom the Meowstic gave her was both a blessing and a curse--- she's met so many wonderful friends that she never wants to leave. But when they aren't around, everything quickly spirals into pure black silence, so dark it's defeaning, and the whispers grow and spiral out of control. • • • 「I'm proud of this mask. I have a whole assortment of them for you to enjoy, a whole selection of smiles, but I'm afraid they're breaking.」 Ryou Imizu is a mysterious teenager who's running from the past. • • • 「What would you know about hope? I've seen the end coming too many times to count. Tell me, if everything results in our eventual end, what good is there to hope?」 Quinn Mave is an eccentric girl who doesn't know which timeline to trust any more. • • • "Everything will be quiet once more," the Meowstic whispers, "If you just give in once again." • • • 「I've taken away all your friends. You've nothing left now.」 「That's right. Come with me, and I'll give me plenty of friends that'll stay with you forever.」 • • • 「Cover by me (@izayoix)」 「Entered in the Pokemon Watty Awards 2016 • Adventure Category」 「3rd Place in the Adventure category of the Pokemon Watty Awards 2016」
