In a savannah, filled with all kinds of species of Pokemon, there lived two brothers
The elder, Aalam, was filled with a fire that he could not contain. Despite being chosen as the future king of their land, his fire burned so brightly that his eyes could not always see what was directly in front of him. And thus, he would make a rather poor leader.
The younger brother, Cormac, didn’t have quite the same fire as his brother, but what he did have was the compassion and wisdom of a ruler. But he never saw himself that way. He believed that his brother would be a much better king than he would ever be.
On this particular day, Aalam had charged through a stick in his excitement that an ant colony had been using as a landbridge. Upon seeing this, Cormac had lied down and acted as a new bridge for the ants.
Aalam returned at sunset, and spotted his brother, laying on the ground, watching the sun go down “Brother! How has your day been? Mine has been quite eventful! Shame I lost track of you, but you seem to have had your own adventure!”
“You could say that” Cormac responded, stretching with a yawn.
The two brothers returned home, a large mountain of which a cave entrance laid at the base. The inside was vast and had many tunnels leading up and down the mountain, along with some that went below it.
There castle.
“Goodnight brother dearest” Aalam said before walking off down one of the many tunnels.
“Goodnight” Cormac said before making his way to his room, the moon shone through a hole in the wall that acted as his window opposite to the entrance, it bathed the room in a silver light and revealed some of his prized possessions in the corners of the room.
He laid down on a Wooloo rug. One of the many gifts brought by his cousins from their kingdom.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness he heard a voice from out the window “Pssst, Cormac!”
Cormac shot up “Carter?”
The girafarig giggled “Yep”
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m on guard duty”
“Guard duty? But doesn’t that usually entail ano-”
“Good tidings prince Cormac” A Ponyta greeted him standing on the left side of the window opposite Carter.
“Ah, should have realized” Cormac said “So, how are you love?”
“Wonderful, now that you’re here” Carter said.
“Likewise” Cormac then turned to the Ponyta “And how are you Victoria?”
“Absolutely splendid! When a vile villain arrives to attempt to harm you, I shall engage them in combat! It will be wonderful!”
“Yes, well, I find it unlikely that a ‘vile villain’ would come after me of all-”
“Halt, fiend!” Victoria suddenly bellowed “You are quite brave to venture here, however I can not commend your intelligence seeing as you are an intruder on royal grounds!”
“If this is a misunderstanding we can talk” Carter said “But if its anything else...well, you best prepare for one Tartarus of a fight”
Explain yourself?
