Chapter 1 A Blind Beginning
A Pokémon awakes to the sound of a river and a voice.
{???} I was inquiring if you had awaken.
{????} Um, two questions.
{???} Let's see... found you where I hunt fish, I have not done anything but ask if you were awake and hunt fish, you're about a mile from Jewelburn town, and I'm Kin. Did I miss anything?
{????} Oh! Well actually one of my questions was regarding my current lack of vision despite being awake.
{Kin} ... You're a deino. You'll be unable to see anything until you've fully evolved.
{????} Oh, thank you kin.
The deino can hear that Kin is troubled by something
{????} Is there something wrong?
Kin takes awhile to answer
{Kin} ... I can't lie, I was going to tell you to skedaddle or stay here for your safety. However your question has me... curious.
The deino can tell that Kin wants her to follow him
{????} Well since I can't see where I'm going you'll need to find something to guide me with.
{Kin} I could use a vine as a leash and harness.
There are sounds of something moving through the water and then the sounds of the trees right next to her rustling
{Kin} You still haven't told me your name.
{????} Oh, well it's a bit... uncreative, but my name is Dian.
Dian feels the vine gently tighten around her torso
{Kin} Stay as close as you can.
As the two walk Dian listens to the environment around them. She can hear the river, the wind moving the trees, and her footsteps. She realizes that she can't hear anything coming from Kin. Enough time passes that she begins to hear faint voices grow closer.
{Kin} Stop, we're going this way. You can't go into town without somemon with you anyways.
{Dian} Well you're with me so why can't you take me?
{Kin} Because I can't either.
{Kin} You and I are alternative colored pokémon, we don't classify as shiny and we're definitely not normal so we get treated like... no worse than dungeon pokémon.
[Adult male's voice] Which is why he normally warns other alts that they're close to a town.
The two stop at the sound of the new voice.
{Kin} Don't give me that look. You're the only lucario I know and trust. And I'm curious as to if she has amnesia or is a human.
Dian hears the lucario approach
{???????} Just bad memory
{Kin} You say that despite her not knowing that she is blind as a deino.
{???????} Alright, I can see that you're worried about her. I'll keep an eye on her until somemon welcomes her into their home.
Dian hears Kin give his end of the vine to the lucario.
{Kin} Okay Dian I'm going to my den now, you'll hear me again tomorrow. You'll be staying with Abourne just as he said. And Abourne, unless she finds something to replace it, this vine is to help guide her somewhere.
{Dian} Seems easier to say than okay or yes.
{Abourne} With whatever that was out of the way, let's get going. I'll introduce you to the others!
Dian and Abourne begin walking to his house.
{Dian} You know with the amount of walking I've done today I thought my legs would start hurting.
{Abourne} Well from what I've heard dragon types are the most durable with physical labor than any other type.
Dian can hear voices grow closer than those she can hear from the town.
{Abourne} Oh! I'm so sorry, I was getting the key for the door. We've arrived at my house.
After getting inside and removing her harness, with Abourne's help, something comes running up.
[Young girl's voice] ABOURNE! HI, HI ABOURNE! OH HEY, A NEW FACE! HI, I'M BUN, NICE TO MEET YOU! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT VINE?! WH-
{Abourne} Bun! Please lower your voice, and we just came in.
{Dian} So Bun is loud and excitable.
Dian can hear something tiny jumping towards her along with slow heavy footsteps.
[Young male's voice] Lime heard Bun yelling about a new face. Lime was going to bring food as a gift but Lime got hungry on the way here and ate the food.
{Dian} Lime gets hungry quickly and uses names in place of pronouns.
[Young male's voice] L**i **y** y** s**s** f**d **m**h**g **s* *u **i ** e **f*.
{Dian} Huh? What did you say?
{??????} Hillu O'm Stetoc noci tu miit yua.
Dian confused begins to frantically locate where the voice.
{St?t?c} EHH! Nu, stup yua'ri guong tu sind mi flyong!
{Abourne} Whoa, whoa! Dian calm down!
{Dian} But where did the voice come from?
{Lime} When Dian asked what Static had said to Lime Static jumped onto Dian's head. Static had a stunted growth so it's hard to hear Static unless Static is next to Somemons ear.
{Dian} So Static, is too small to hear properly and... has an accent? So what are you like?
Dian turns to the groggy pokémon sitting in the corner.
{Abourne} No clue how you knew she was there, since she spends too much time with Kin, but that's Liz.
{Dian} Oh, well since I can't use my eyes I'm learning to use my ears.
[Female's voice] It's getting late. You guys should be going to bed.
{Dian} Do you mind if I sleep with you?
{Liz} Well... you don't really have a bed and Abourne can't be pulling another all nighter. So I... guess you can?
Dian carefully navigates her way towards Liz and curls up next to her. Liz hesitantly curls up next to Dian.
