PMD: Dissolution Chapter Four
Chapter Four: High Peak
Cast down from plinths of might,
Verus’s heroes consumed by blight.
Bleeding stemmed from heavy blow,
Weakened land, breathing slow.
Broken, dying, free at last,
Sun’s warmth, fading fast.
Debt paid, at what cost?
Can not restore what was lost.
—Scribe Martor Serperior,
Verse of the Broken from The Rains of Erebus
Leo was half asleep as their assembled group of four set off from the old well on the north road. The night had passed in the blink of an eye. The moment Leo crashed into his hammock the previous night rolled right into Noah shaking him awake rather forcefully that morning. A wake-up ca

Chapter Three: Kingsend
Moonlight, broken in ire,
Sunlight, robbed of fire.
Oceans, quelled of waves,
Land, poisoned by graves.
Peace to Verus at last,
Gods slain in angel’s wrath.

Hymn of the Saved from The Rains of Erebus
Sounds of jovial music played on strings filled the air of the provincial capital town of Kingsend. Seated on a vital highway, the bustling town built from an amalgamation of ancient metal ruins and stonework thrived on the streams of traveling Pokémon and merchants that passed through its gates. A large drawbridge made from tired steel slowly creaked back down over the wide, d

Chapter Two: Tranquility
Through fire, blood,
The end of days
Cruel hands set their gods aflame
Crafting redemption from desolation
With angelic light guiding to salvation.
Rejoice, Verus, land of the ancients!
You are blessed under your divine regent!

Ballad of the Angel from The Rains of Erebus
A rustling of leaves through laden branches stirred the resting Charmeleon from his deep, dreamless slumber. While he had hoped to attain a few more minutes of sleep, a fluttering leaf dropped down onto his snout. The dozing lizard wrinkled his nose a few times to try and dislodge the foliage. The tickle of the l

His exclamation was cut short by an almighty groan of rusted steel before the segment beneath his feet gave out. It was a strange sensation, to float on air for the split-second before the Charmeleon plummeted after the fallen grate. The dark jaws of the abyss rushed from below to snap him up as the dim light vanished entirely. Cold air billowed around his screaming, free-falling form, making his tail sputter angrily and adding to Leo’s overwhelming distress. Spinning about erratically, he squirmed and flailed his limbs in all directions, desperately trying to latch onto anything.
His terror-fueled scream held out until his

Chapter One: Protocol
Sing to the exalted ruins!
We, the ungrateful, live under their shield.
Angelic light against the godless fray.
Bastion against the disorder, the dissolution, the decay!
Desperately fighting to defend what remains!
Ancient hands clasped against stagnation.

Ode to the Sacred Land from The Rains of Erebus
Consciousness unwelcomely returned with a dull headache, exacerbated only by the profound ringing in his ears. The first sensation he felt after what had been an eternity without was the intense, icy tendrils of cold that dug into his sore back. Eyes flicking open to near-darkness, he

“This is the tool to end all wars, Darnéy. Give the order. The world is ready. It is time to awaken the Marble King.”

Wind whipped by Kida’s face as the world shook. Snow and ice bit into her fur after being kicked up by the Aggron’s heavy steps. Down and down Calur carried her, barreling forward with gravity through anything that stood in between them and the bottom of the mountain. Solid ice and rocks shattered against his worn, steel armor— the Aggron was faster than a Graveler shootin

“Never stop pursuing your goals. Even if it takes a thousand years or more, never cease. Persistence overcomes all odds; this is good advice to live by.”

The Lucario pressed his paw against the window. Just beyond its shelter, a storm pounded the palace with a deluge of rain. Nickolas sighed, his breath misting-up the window for an instance. The interior of the palace was warm and dry, yet the royal Pokémon shivered under his attire. He rubbed his

“It was said long ago that Pokemon crawled out of the Abyss... Based upon the violence and cruelty I see in this day and age, I wonder if we have ever left it...
We are a species plagued by greed.

“Please cooperate... Come on, you can’t stay silent forever...” Hythal asked annoyedly. This prisoner had proved to be the most stubborn Pokémon he had ever met. Since earlier this month when the officers had dragged her in, she had made it her personal goal to make his job as hard as possible.
A thin air of desperation hung around the floating Re
