Atena smiles at Twilight. Then looked up at Dawn and Dusk.

Such an adorable little one. How are you handling parenthood? Hopefully, it hasn't been too much of an ordeal...

“Ah, greetings! Parenting has certainly been a big change, for me and my partner both, but a truly joyous one! Of course there have been some issues, but with time I believe we will overcome them. We are incredibly fortunate to have friends that can advise us as we learn to be the best parents we can.”

“Aside from that-” Dusk suddenly cut himself off, looking towards Dawn, who had gone up ahead. The Moltres was speaking with another pokemon, and from what he could tell it was nothing good.

What truly worried Dusk is that he recognized that Munna. They were one of Oneiros’ apprentices, one that directly aided the Cresselia as she went about her duties. No doubt she had sent them to intercept them before they got to the city proper. Why would she feel the need to do that...? What had happened?

“Ti’s disgusting. Jeeves, remove it from my sight at once!

What’s the deal with everyone giving each other bunches of weeds anyway? Like, ‘hurr durr, I appreciate your company, have some dumb grass.’

That’s just so very sad, and you should feel embarassed.”

(@ask-dawnanddusk) Dawn@Sonny "Heck yeah, bird power!" He cheered excitedly. "You look really cool, I'm actually kinda jealous of the patterns and neck ruff your feathers make, along with that cool crest of yours! Oh, also, I was wondering, since you're a different variant of chatot, if you had any special moves others don't? Only if you're willing to answer of course!"

As they arrived home, Pepper and Sonny were unaware that they had picked up some attention from another fellow flying type. But when they heard the question, and turned around to see where the voice was coming from, there he was, a Moltres with plumage as brilliant as the red skies of a day coming to an end. One with a plumage that could easily best his own, was jealous of his feathers.

Sonny seemed a little flustered that of all species to compliment his plumage, a Moltres would be one of them. So much so in fact that a blush was visible in his feathers. A Moltres of all pokemon liked his feathers. He needed a little time to process this.

(Sonny) I'll uh, answer your question in a bit Sir, but uh, can you give me a moment first? I'm tired from a long flight and need to get something to drink.

Sonny half-lied. He was exhausted, but the cup of water was more to prevent him from fainting. He was a little starstruck, to say the least. Not so much as a certain Greedent, but to a bird species that could easily put others to shame, it meant a lot to hear it coming from him. Having had something to drink, he re-emerges from the hollowing of his tree, with a refreshed look on his face.

(Sonny shyly chuckles) Hehehe...heh... I'm sorry you had to see me like that. That compliment meant more to me than you'd think. But your feathers are better than mine? It's like a brilliant sunset. One you can look upon and reflect everything you did that day before the moon rises and you have to go to bed.

(Sonny's crest rises back up once the initial bashfulness passes) Either way, thank you so much for your kind words...and er, yeah! Me and my dad are electric types! While Sinnoan Chatots are a smidgen stronger than us, our kind is...capable of evolving.

(Pepper chuckles) I think you have a fan, Seigneur Ho-Oh. And yeah, as Sonny says, they evolve into us! What's your name, kind Monsieur?

(Sonny) I got to show a Zekrom this cool trick a few weeks ago, but I didn't see you there, so I should definitely show it to you!

Sonny flares up his ears, using Spark, somehow creating a sparking effect that resembled a barred eighth note, creating a humming sound that sounded vaguely like the sound of a small buzzing relay circuit.

Sorry for going a bit silent on this blog, I've been bouncing from one project to another. On the bright side, now that I've gotten this piece done, I should be updating soon!

I've wanted to re-do Dawn and Dusk's ref for a while now, along with altering their pallets. I have a much better grasp on colour matching now then when I started, and I think these ones fit them much better!

(@ask-pokecats) Annalisé approach both Dawn and Dusk. She is looking at the floating islands and very surprised.

"Oh...dieu! Ze floatzing islands? I've never saw zis in my life. Probably only on some fantasy books. But it looks so-so fantastique in real life! Anyways, why are we zere?"

"While not our sole reason for coming here, it is the most major. Our daughter has been suffering terrible nightmares, and has had trouble sleeping. I alone am unable to help her." Dusk explained.

Dawn continued after him, "These islands are home to our worlds Cresselia, so we're hoping that with her help we can find a solution to this problem. Dusk's ability to walk through the dreams of others becomes limited the more powerful the individual is, and as young as she is, Twilight holds a lot of power within her."

Dawn stepped out from beneath the dome of the transportation circle, tilting his head up to examine the brightening sky. The trip had taken them a bit longer than expected. Usually portals and other such modes of transportation cut down on travel time a significant amount, but they could often cause nausea to those unfamiliar with using them. Since Twilight was still so young, they’d agreed to use magical teleportation as sparingly as they could. Luckily, they’d really only needed to use it here at the end, where it was most efficient. 

Dusk joined him, Twilight nestled securely in his mane of fur. He spoke with a hum, “Well, we’ve finally arrived. 

“I’ll never understand why they put this place so far from the city.” Dawn half-complained, following Dusk to the edge, “Just seems like a waste of time and energy.”

“They do it so they can more easily examine those passing through.” Dusk explained, again, to his complaining husband, “We’re monitored from a distance so that the city has more time to react when someone with more hostile intentions appears. Only those with identification and who live within the city are allowed to use the transporter in the city itself.”

“Alright alright, I know they have good reasons and all that. Still annoying though.”

“Indeed.”

As they walked down the path, a soft green light was emitted where stone met air. This light took on the form of a bridge, and was as solid as one too. Dusk stepped on the bridge, and Dawn followed in the air behind him. The light extended to the next small island, connecting the two. Eventually, they would reach the main island through a path of islands and magical bridges.

Dawn and Dusk are now Open for asks! Ask hints have been updated.

Dusk slowly plodded towards where the group sat, shaking sleep from his eyes and Twilight nestled in his mane. He'd thought it over a bit more, and had come to a decision. Now all there was left to do was convince the others, though that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Gently, he bumped his head against Dawn, giving him a nuzzle in greeting before leaning back, a serious look on his face.

Taking in a deep breath to calm himself, Dusk blurted, "We need a lunar wing for Twilight."

This sudden statement dew the eye of everyone in the group, and while Dusk shifted uncomfortably under their confused gazes, he carefully explained, "Twilight has been trouble sleeping lately. She's been dreaming, but all of them are nightmares, and it's been keeping her up too much to be healthy."

"These nightmares left for a while, but seemed to have returned again with even more force." Dusk explained, speaking faster with each word, "I've tried to deal with them on my own, but you know how it is with dream-walking in legendary minds."

"Of course the lunar wing would only be temporary, just until we can find the root of this problem. I just don't want her loosing any more sleep, she's still so young..."

"Oh love, you should have told me sooner." Dawn crooned, gently pressing his beak to Dusk's neck in comfort, halting his husbands worried rambling, "Of course we can retrieve a lunar wing. Should be relatively easy too, I'm still owed a favour from her." He joked slightly at the end before continuing. "It's also possible being around our Cresselia could help Twilight develop her powers more. After all, we don't now they full extend of her abilities yet. Maybe she could tell us if the abaility to dream-walk was passed down as well."

"We could also use this as an opportunity to check up on other legends and see if other strange things have happened." Voxgatum mused, "Oneiros watches over the dreams of all living things after all. Maybe she could help. Confirm if this is just one bad actor or something bigger."

"Whilst you three travel, there is one more who may benefit from an alteration of scenery." Maksviah cut in, turning towards Voxgatum, "With the news' final spread between legends, I am most certain someone else worries more then needed. My second eldest, Vourison, I fear will worry himself to panic. A visit would be good for both of you."

"Mother, do you even need to say more then that?" Vox said, a relaxed smile on his face, "Why, I'd be delighted to go bother my worrywart of an older brother! It's been far too long since we've seen one another."

"Did you not visit him the other week?"

"Perhaps~"

"Well, I suppose that settles it." Dawn said, "We'll need a bit of time to prepare, but we should be off soon."

"I'll head off a bit after you do." Voxgatum said with a wave of his wing, "I want to spend a bit more time here before heading out. Maybe I'll pop by Oneiros' place after so we can chat."

And with all that said, the group split to prepare for the coming days ahead.
