Serene

It had been a pretty cloudy day, with the clouds themselves becoming darker as the day went on. Sure enough, it had begun to rain in the early afternoon, though it wasn’t anywhere near severe. In fact, it made for quite the peaceful ambiance around the cove.

Inside a certain house in the center of the cove, several sets of eyes looked out the window, watching the rain fall and seeing how it splashed not only on the ground, but also on the surface of the water itself. Ben and Goomy seemed to be the most entranced by nature’s display while Kay and Lee stood behind them, their height making it easy for them to observe the calming sights and sounds as well. The only one that was missing was...

“...Hrrmph...”

The Mage. DJ was laying on a couch in the living room with his arm over his face. For some odd reason, his mind had been unfocused and he wanted to try to do something to maybe fix things on that front. He had been trying to nap, but sleep would not easily come to him. Instead he just lay there, listening to the rain while the others got a better look at it. After a short while, however, he decided to join them, slowly rolling onto his side before sitting himself up and standing.

He made his way over to the window where everyone had congregated, his presence noticed by Lee first, followed by Kay, then the others. He heard them all speak in their own language, nodding as he got the consensus of how they wanted him to watch the rain. DJ did just that, looking outside and watching as it fell down on the ground, the deck, the water, and the pier.

Several minutes went by before something came to mind. At first, he tried to push it aside as a silly thought, but then another came up that refuted him. Why would it be silly? He was a god, after all, right? He tilted his head as he thought on it for a few more moments before taking a step back from the window, still watching the rain fall...

There was a shared moment of quiet before there was a sudden shuffling sound coming from behind the small group. Lee noticed something...extra about it, turning around to see that the Mage had disappeared...

...and that the front door had been opened, kept only slightly ajar to keep the water from seeping in. The others soon took notice before Goomy glanced out the window and began to hop up and down, making excited sounds which caught the attention of the other three Pokemon.

They would then see a figure standing out on the pier, slowly walking down the length of it and over the water. Indeed, it was the Mage, though he had shed his usual garb and was wearing only a pair of swim trunks as he made his way. Once he reached the end of the pier, he stopped, looking up as the rain bounced off his skin as it impacted it.

DJ closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of the rain coming down on him. He even lifted his arms to either side of him, stretching them out as far as he could before turning his palms upward to catch the rain. He stood like that for quite some time, finding his moment of meditative serenity within the small rainstorm.

After a short while, he found that he was not alone as Goomy had found her way outside to join him. Of course, once one made the decision, the others would follow, though with a bit more thought put into it as they had found two umbrellas to use, one being shared between Kay and Ben while the other was used by Lee. However, after a couple minutes had passed, he gave his umbrella for Ben to use, joining Goomy and DJ out in the rain. He stood next to DJ, taking a similar meditative stance.

They all stood on the pier and enjoyed the gentle rainfall, a smile coming onto the Mage’s features as he opened his eyes and looked out across the water...

[magustempus]

Lee stood in front of the Mage's bedroom, looking at the door as if he could possibly see through it. The human had closed himself up inside after returning home the day before carrying a small red box. His Aura was in turmoil for those moments before he disappeared into his room. Since then, nothing...

The Lucario sighed after a few more moments passed, turning around and crossing his arms over his chest. What to do...?

[magustempus]

“Hm...

Right now, Lee would be meditating on the hill. I think Goomy went to help Kay in the garden...

...by keeping Ben busy so he doesn’t gobble up anything that hasn’t been harvested yet. Yeah. Munchlax roll like that sometimes.”

❣

Peer into my muse’s memories! (Accepting!)

❣- A memory that leaves them laughing

Who knew tossing a stone would lead to this?

No, not skipping stones. The cove’s waters were never still enough to do that. DJ had tried on multiple occasions with no avail in the past. So, instead of that, he would grab a stone and take a running start before chucking it from the end of the deck just before the pier started and see how far into the water it would end up.

But now, he wasn’t the only one around to give it a try. Both Lee and Kay had decided to try their hand at it while Ben and Goomy watched from the shaded area on the deck. They all had watched as DJ ran to the edge and launched his stone, which plunked into the water without incident. Goomy chirped a few times from where she sat before hopping off her chair and making her way over to where DJ stood.

Meanwhile, Lee was up as he picked up a stone and took several steps back. A deep breath was taken before he ran forward to the edge, swinging his arm along with his running momentum to launch his stone out to the water. It actually was pretty far, but about two-thirds as far as where DJ’s ended up, which got a bit of applause from the Mage. Lee smiled and nodded before looking at Kay. At least, he would have if he was still standing where he had been a moment before.

Kay had taken a healthy distance away from the deck’s edge, determined to match his companion’s feat. He took off after a moment, dashing forward and hurling his stone with so much momentum and he nearly fell into the water. Luckily, Lee had grabbed him and pulled him away from the edge before he could fall into the drink. A moment later, his stone hit the water, just shy of where Lee’s had ended up.

DJ applauded again in a similar matter before a chirping got the attention of the whole group. Goomy was hopping in place, excited as she was looking out at the water before looking back at DJ. “You wanna give it a try?” After the words left the Mage’s mouth, Kay scoffed, which brought about a grunt from Lee, nearly chastising the Gallade. “Get her a stone, please.” Lee obliged, running over to the nearby rocky shore and returning with a stone of similar size to what they had used before, placing it on the floor in front of Goomy. “Alright...go ahead!”

Everyone watched, eager to see what Goomy would do. What she did end up doing, however, surprised everyone. She seemed to take a deep breath before opening her mouth and unleashing a beam of purple energy that sent the stone careening over the surface of the water, causing it to skip across it, even with the light chop. It sunk into the water between where DJ’s stone ended up and where Lee and Kay’s did.

DJ had jumped back slightly at the sudden show of force, watching the stone make its way until it plunked into the water. He turned to look at Lee and Kay after a moment. Their expressions were the definition of shock and awe and seemed almost comical. So much so that DJ had started howling with laughter at how the entire situation had played out. Goomy jumped up and down and chirped happily as she saw how far her stone had went, with Ben clapping wildly from his place under the shade, which was joined by slow claps from Lee and Kay.

All while DJ laughed and laughed...

Keeping Things Warm

“...nnndah!”

Doing squats was one thing, but doing them with a tree trunk on your shoulders was another. Then again, what else was he supposed to do to improve his physical condition? At least he wasn’t alone in the matter. Lee was standing a short distance to his side, doing the same with a smaller piece of lumber that the Mage had cut from the tree he felled.

Firewood was in high demand this time of year, so he’d do his part both for his home and for those in Sicarius, but before handing it over he was going to make sure to make the best of things. After a couple more reps, he let out a loud grunt of effort before hurling the tree trunk off his shoulders and onto the ground in front of him. The Lucario followed suit a moment later. DJ looked down, breathing heavily for a few moments.

For a second, he thought he could see steam rising from his skin in the winter air...

“All yours, Kay.” In a matter of moments, the Gallade had begun to cut up the large hunks of wood. The Mage walked over to where he had left his sword, the black blade devoid of markings. He surely wasn’t going to use the Timeripper for such a chore when the original darksteel was as sharp as ever. DJ easily took the blade in his hand, picking it up and grasping it with both hands before turning and swinging the blade through the tree it had been leaning against.

“Timber!” The tree fell, crashing to the ground a short distance away from the first. Once the lumber had settled, he walked over, cutting the trunk in half widthwise with another stroke of his blade, then repeating it to one of the resulting halves. “Alright. One more set, Lee!”

He placed the sword up against another nearby tree that still stood, turning to see that the Lucario had already started to pick up his piece of wood: one of the quarters he had made just now. A chuckle came from him as he went to grab his, the untouched half, lifting it up before giving it a press to raise it over his head. He then leaned his head forward, letting the wood down to settle on his shoulders.

“Ready?” DJ took his stance as Lee answered. “Ok! One-and-two-and-three-and-four!”

He began another set of the exercises with Lee, hoping to keep to some sort of rhythm. How else was a god supposed to keep up with a multiverse that he barely even scratched?

“...nnndah!”

[magustempus]

DJ sat at the top of the hill, once again settled in the spot where he found it best to meditate. Lee was sitting next to him. Both had their eyes closed as they were doing just that. A soft breeze ruffled DJ’s cloak and blew through Lee’s fur, bringing with it a slight chill to the air...

[magustempus]

DJ could be seen sitting at the pier’s edge, looking out at the water as stars twinkled in the night sky. The serene sound of the waves lapping up on the shore was the only thing that could be heard as he kept silent...

Creaking of the boards of the pier betrayed the approach of the blue and black furred companion of his. The Lucario made his way over to where he was sitting, soon taking the spot next to the Mage.

“...Mm? Ah, it’s you, Lee...” DJ smiled at the pokemon, who smiled and nodded at him. A moment later they both started looking back out across the water and up at the night sky...
