Do all “successors” start out as a legendary (so we’re you both as a Ho-Oh?) or does it happen once you become one?
"I sure as hell wasn't a Legendary if that's what you're asking." For a brief moment, Zhen seemed almost angry. But he quelled. It wouldn't be right to take it out on them when they simply asked a question. "I wouldn't ask for this much responsibility. Again I didn't have much a say in it."
"I was dying and she was too late to fix the damage. So I had two options."
Zhen went silent, reflecting. "I wish I didn't remember that much, truth to be told. Some memories are better off discarded. I went out in a sorry way as well but I guess I was doing what I loved so it's better than nothing."
"But no. Not succe- mouthpieces become something like me. There was a chance it wouldn't work. Normally one would go under multiple trials to make sure they can make it. Its different for everyone and it's not guaranteed. I remember one thing though. She was in agony and she wanted to pass on her duty to someone who can handle it."
"She saw my heart and gave me another chance..."
"Unfortunately it costed her own."
