Adjusted goal
"Groudon and Kyogre are currently clashing and we were hoping you might calm them." I said honestly. I also noted that Rayquaza had confird my theory of people having known of this location but kept it quiet. 'It's been about five hundred years since those two last battled so I am surprised that you mortals even rembered that I was the one that cald them at that ti. Usually by this point in your growth cycles you have very few records of us.' Rayquaza said calmly. "What do you an by growth cycles?" I asked with a suspicion I wasn't going to like the answer.-
'I suppose there's no harm in telling you. This is not the first ti you mortals have ford a civilization that has grown so advanced. In truth it isn't even that special really as I have witnessed the rise and fall of such a thing no less than twenty tis. There are differences of course but the general structure is always surprisingly similar. In an ironic twist you mortals also tend to be the reason for each and every one of those civilizations falling in the end and having everything reset for you.' The legendary said with an amused tone.-
I REALLY didn't like what I heard at all. How could I when I had basically just been told that in all reality my goal was impossible to achieve. What good is leaving a legend when the civilization it belongs to will likely self destruct and erase all trace of it with it? I wasn't surprised to learn that civilization rose and fell over the course of this worlds history as similar things happened on earth but learning they were as advanced as the current one or even further yet still fell put a serious damper on things.-
'Ah yes , I recognize that look. You were hoping you were sothing special right? You mortals always do. Honestly it's almost funny how you lot always seem to think the world revolves around you only to have that shattered by the reality of just how insignificant you really are. While you stay here and contemplate that I should go stop those two before they damage your cycle beyond repair. Do stay put though, I am curious what conclusions you co to.' Rayquaza said before the tower rumbled as it uncoiled from around it and shot into the sky.-
I hardly even noticed though as I was far to lost in my own thoughts to pay attention to it. I made changes to my goals in hopes of figuring out how to achieve my grand ambition but the only option I ca to was entirely impossible. Godhood , that was the only solution I could think of. Becoming immortal would let keep leaving a na behind regardless of how much ti passed but even then I would only be able to take a break for a while before being forced to do sothing to reinvigorate my na again.-
Becoming a god or at least so close to it that no one could tell the difference was the only real chance of leaving a truly eternal legend behind. Think about it , I reach that point and the whole world knows my na. Ti passes and a civilization ends but at the start of the new one I reveal myself to all of humanity and boom rembered forever so long as I don't just totally vanish. It would be like how no one forgets that the godly legendries exist even if the details get lost to ti.-
'I don't need my na to be rembered so long as I am never forgotten.' I decided and relaxed finally. "Took you quite so ti to get past whatever Rayquaza said to you." Steven said seriously. I flinched slightly at that as I had honestly been so distracted that I forgot he was here. "I'm surprised you aren't freaked out about what it said." I said slightly confused as I looked at him. He shook his head "Besides what you said I didn't get a single word of that conversation , can't say as I am not curious though." he said honestly.-
"So things are better left unknown and trust when I say that what I learned is one of them. I don't think i will ever be able to see the world the sa way again." I said firmly. "I don't want to know , got it. I assu you managed to convince Rayquaza to handle the two in Sootopolis right?" he asked and I nodded which let him sigh in relief. "Mission accomplished then. Lets go , this place makes nervous." he said and I shook my head. "You can go if you'd like but I was told to stay here and I have so thing to speak with Rayquaza about." I said and he froze.-
"How will you get back from this island without though?" He asked concerned. I shrugged "I guess I could try and convince so Altaria in this place to fly to the mainland after I talk with Rayquaza." I said casually. It was true too as while getting to this island required so help from Steven since I lacked a flying pokemon myself getting back to the mainland was a simple matter given the many Altaria that were living here.-
Convincing at least one of them to take should be possible and if not well I could always risk sounding rude and ask Rayquaza instead. If that doesn't work I guess I could call soone to co get because I am NOT swimming. "I'll stay so we can go together but I think I'll wait at the bottom of the tower for you to get done here." Steven said and I nodded. "Can't say I bla you." I said with a chuckle. He had already proven his bravery by not shitting himself in the face of Rayquaza in my opinion.-
There fear and then there's the sort of inbuilt dread that cos from standing before sothing you have no chance of surviving should it decide to end you. This was beyond simple emotions and was hard coded into every living being capable of determining danger. I certainly wasn't immune to it as even I froze in front of Rayquaza until it personally snapped out of it. While I waited for the ancient pokemon to return Steven made his way down the tower like he said he would and I sat down on a broken chunk of stone to wait.-
About ten minutes later I got an update to my quest that told Groudon had been stopped but yet the quest wasn't finished. No new objectives showed up but the quest was still incomplete which was weird. 'Did this thing glitch out? Wait can it even glitch out!?' I was starting to panic when the air grew heavy dragging my thoughts back to reality just in ti to see Rayquaza coil around the tower again. 'All done , you left out the part where you mortals were the ones who awoken them.' The legendary said without seeming to really care.
