Imma do a massive overhaul of this fluff for a writing project.
Then imma actually turn it into a book
Nifa was once again leading the four, this time on a long mountain ridge, dipping ocaisonally between the mountains it was made up of. He glanced back to Fanta, who was trying not to look down and several shades paler than normal, Celebi, who was trying to converse with Charcoal, and Charcoal, who was about as talkative as a dead branch. celebi, of course, would not give up, chattering about things from the state of the weather to the lineage of legends to the fact that she had once met an eevee that held his ears in the same way fanta did, one ear crooked, the other straight, and theorizing that fanta might be related to that eevee. nifa turned back, to be stopped by the tip of a long, jet black blade pressing into his neck. attached to that blade was one of the few remaining absols in sinnoh. "Nifa the thief, have you come to make amends?" The absol asked. "Actually, i've come to ask for sanctuary." Nifa said. The absol laughed, and then cut off abruptly, stepping back. "You're serious." He said. "I assume you have your own twisted reasons?" Nifa shook his head. "I made enemies with your enemies." He said. "And i fear we are being hunted." By this point, the others had realized what was going on. Fanta and Charcoal had taken positions on either side of Nifa, and Celebi floated above, all ready for trouble. "You keep distasteful company, legend." The absol said, glancing up at Celebi. "I do?" Celebi said, faking puzzlement. "A reformed theif, an eevee learning to survive in our world, and a vulpix to mentor him?" The absol laughed again. "I will take you to our home, and i will vouch for you, Nifa, because i know that you saved Omen before fleeing. But be warned, we are not the tribe we once were. Even the eve's are uneasy around outsiders." The absol turned, beconing, and the four followed him. "So you must be Sight?" Nifa asked. Sight replied. "Aye, that is my name." Fanta heard rustling nearby, and he took a half step to see what it was. It was nearly the last half step of his life.
A Flareon pounced on him, digging her claws into his shoulder, snarling. "You are not welcome her." And opening her mouth to deliver a blast of heat. Sight opened his mout to snap at her, but before he could, Charcoal had barreled into the flareon, grappling with the larger opponent. The rolled to the side, and a majestic glaceon stepped out, looking distainfully at the fighting pair. Fanta got up, wincing as he put weight on his bellding leg, and glancing over to see the flareon manage to pin Charcoal down. Fanta leather, landing on the flareons back and digging his claws into her mane. "Stop!" Sight shouted. The flareon paused, and then violently shook herself, throwing Fanta off, and then stepping away from Charcoal. The absol and flareon had a heated argument, most of which Fanta and Charcoal ignored. Charcoal was still snarling at the flareon. "We're alright, Coal, you don't need to look like you want to throw her off of a cliff." Fanta said. "No one touches you." Charcoal said, having evidently ignored Fanta. "No one." Fanta shook his head. "That's sweet and all, but seriously, we're done fighting. Don't go looking for enemies." Charcoal turned to stare at Fanta. "She attacked you." Charcoal said. "I didn't have to look for any enemies, i already have one." Fanta rolled his eyes as the flareon left, followed by Charcoal's glare. "I apologize for Blaze." Sight said. "She is not the trusting type." They once again began following the absol, until they came to the entrance of a cave. But as it turned out, it was the entrance to a massive caven, with depictions of every legend. And in the center of all of this, sat a small, unadorned absol, staring across a lake that divided the cave in two. "Omen, i have brought you four travelers that ask for shelter. One claims that they have made enemies with the fanatics." Sight bowed, and exited the cavern. The other absol was still, not making any inclination she cared about or realized the four had entered the cave. Nifa spoke first. "Omen, is that you?" He asked.
The absol chuckled. "Aye, it is me." Omen said, turning, to reveal something none of them, even celebi in all her years, had ever seen. Omen's horn had been snapped of near where it met her skull. "I have seen much." Omen said, ignoring their stares. "Enough to know that you four will play an important roll in what is to come." Nifa glanced at the other three, shrugging. "Does that mean we can find shelter here?" Charcoal asked when Nifa didn't speak. "You will, if you cam do what i ask." Omen said. Nifa cursed. "What do you want done?" Fanta asked, the only one who wasn't entirely unhappy. "There is a tunnel, southwest of here, that is filled with evolutionary stones. Bring back a water, thunder, and fire stone." Omen said. "And why can't you do this yourself?" Nifa asked. "Because the tunnel conects with an active lava flow that flares up ever few minutes. To dangerous to risk an absol." Omen said. "But not to dangerous for a quadruplet of outsiders." Nifa said. "Fine. We'll do it." Charcoal glared at the absol, but turned and walked out of the cave, alone until Fanta caught up with her. "You were staring at that absol." Charcoal said. Fanta paused, and then said. "Wait, are you displeased with me because i was politely making eye contact with someone i don't want to piss off?" Charcoal wassilent for a few moments, and then said. "No." Fanta gave a short laugh and then said. "Aww, you were! That's adorable." Fanta returned her glare with a grin. "You were worried it'd be love at first sight, and then we'd go galavanting into the sunset without you." Fanta laughed. "I promise not do do any galavanting into the sunset without you." He finished. Charcoal shook her head, and didn't reply as Nifa and Celebi caught up with them. "Come on, we need to get to the cave before sun down." Nifa said, taking the lead. Charcoal, who had managed to recover from her woulds even with constant travel, picked up the pace, passing Nifa. Fanta, who didn't care who was leading, as long as he could keep pace with Charcoal, caught up.
