    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Nova was going to respond to Sage's request when he saw their eyes light up. And what came out next was... not what Nova expected at all. He gave a hearty laugh at that, his turquoise feathers jubilantly flashing. "Of course." He bumped Sage's shoulder. "We can do snacks. I bet they'll taste...

    "You're not the only one," Nova said. "I never thought mine'd come off." He looked over his shoulder. "Then I made some friends. It's... funny how that works. "Things feel different. The air. The light." He tilted his head up and slowly shut his eyes. His crest fanned out like a plant bending...

    Nova watched for those tense moments until the flecks of shadow and radiance gave way to white. Right. Gladion's glowing feathers naturally had that color, too. Nova's base turquoise was... odd. Perhaps Betel had sensed the difference and replicated it with his Forlas body? Not that any of it...

    Ah. Well then. There was a small spark of radiant energy heading into Nova. It seemed that, perhaps, whatever Lovrina had done to Sage was mixing with the radiance that Luz gave them. Nova was the "perfect" unit. One who hadn't had problems as a type: full. This kind of stuff was new to him...

    The result was much more... impactful than what Nova recalled happening. Bits of stone — or ceramic or whatever the fuck these things were made of — plinking off his King's Shield. It withered away in time for bits of golden light to reflect off Nova's rusted beak. He stared at the mixture of...

    Oh sh— Instincts took hold, with Nova shuffling back. A brilliant King's Shield materialized in front of him, just in case this was going to be an Explosion. "Don't worry about me," he said. "Let 'er rip!"

    But what would happen if they just... removed all those shadows. What had Lovrina done to set this system up? What if it hurts? "Maybe... maybe a good first step is finding a way to stop you from constantly producing shadow?" Nova offered. "Maybe an outlet would actually help with that. And...

    Nova approached the other chimera. "I get it," he whispered. "That's what it's like for me back home. The shadows block out everything. Makes me forget who I really was." Tiny sparks danced around his cheek bolts. "But every now and then I'd hear a voice in my dreams. With a warm light burning...

    "It's--" Nova had only tapped into that power twice. One time was against the void swarm. He'd used Multi-Attack. And the other... was partly freeing Sage from the machine they were put in. "It's... invigorating," he said, glancing skyward. The light reflected off the golden tip of his crest...

    Nova waved a foreleg. The motion slowed the further away Archie got. Nova turned and marched up to the basket full of goodies. "A way... to change my fate." He looked down at all the treats, then up at the clear blue sky. "He must think it's possible, too. Why else would that necrozma waste all...

    "Nothing immediately springs to mind." Nova looked over his shoulder. The basket was fine, of course. He thought maybe he saw movement through a cabin window. "Might be getting close to when Sage needs to go let off shadows. I'm, uh, not sure you want to be around for that."

    "It's fine." Nova looked at the sage, which seemed mostly unharmed. "It gives me an excuse to practice doing grass stuff." A slight smile crossed his beak. "And, well, I promise to do my part. But there are a lot of other folks working to save things. I'm... forced to be on the opposite side...

    "I think it's possible." Nova nodded. "Just need someone with the power to make it happen. And there are certainly plenty out there with that power. Even if we don't directly know 'em."

    Nova leaned over when he saw Archie reaching for his beak. The dewott would feel rust despite the gold coloring. It matched up with all the knots and scruffiness in Nova's coat. "I've made my peace with what'll happen to me," he said, straightening himself back up. "It's a prison of my own...

    Nova stood still, initially unsure what to do. Or to say. The shadows were still there. A personal anecdote was an option, but that could have been read as selfish. Though, hadn't Nova had similar... reservations before? He stepped away from the sage and sat down beside the dewott. "Well, your...

    A monster eating the sun? That opened up portals? "Whoa there. Easy. Breathe." Nova's cheek bolts dimmed. He felt... something trying to force water-type onto him. Except his water disk was already in. Was this just... irrational shadowing? What was Nova supposed to say in this sort of...

    Oh. Ohhh those were shadows. That was bad. Nova was just going off the stuff he knew. "Easy there." Nova's fur bristled. "I really don't know the true ins and outs of how they work at all. Pretty sure a world has to work with them and even then someone has to be physically present. Aurelia...

    "Overseers," Nova responded. Even knowing about them, it still sounded shady and nebulous, so Nova wracked his brain to come up with a decent comparison. "So, like, you know how Forlas has the Rangers?" He traced some nondescript badge in the air with a gold talon. "The Overseers are like...

    Ah, so there was an ulterior motive after all. Nova sat on his haunches, sighing. "Unfortunately, a lot." His cheek bolts slowly turned in their sockets. "Some of us met with him the other day. And that higher authority he alluded to? They're legit. I've heard of 'em."

    Nova's beak was assaulted by almost as many sweet aromas as there were void shadow thingies in that awful swarm. His fish tail instinctively wagged. "Oh, thanks." He leaned forward to take the basket. "You didn't have to do that. But this'll be great. Lots of new things for Sage to try." And...
