"Pardon me, miss," Tsuru said, approaching the woman and grabbing her shoulder gently. "Where are you going?"

"To paradise...The flowers guide those who need it." She said as she walked along.

Tsuru sighed internally. It may well be a trap...and he was weary after a day of battle...but this was a convenient lead he could ill afford to ignore.

"I would be remiss to let a lady go wandering in the woods alone at this time of day," Tsuru said. "I will accompany you. And I wanted to inform you that your son has been avenged. His killer is slain, by my hand."

She hardly seemed to notice the words.

After a half hour of walking into the woods a arch made of living trees became visible.

Standing in front of it was a young boy holding a sword.

"You were not the one who was called." He said pointing it at Tsuru.

"You smell of my brother's blood." He added.

"Both of these things are true," Tsuru said calmly, producing his whip. "I was not summoned, and I did slay your monstrous brother Terrakion. Earlier this very day, in fact," he went on.

"And I have heard much of you Keldeo, the Foolish Young Hero. The blind healer, He Who Gives Life, would have me aid you and your Maiden in your flight from the Knight of Verdant Forests, but I am...unconvinced," he said, tightening his grip on the whip.

"You and your kind have been nothing but a blight against humanity. Every instance of good brought about is heralded by wanton death and destruction. My own parents offered aid to your kind and were brutally murdered for their...transgressions. And despite these rumors of your 'rebellion', you recognize your former comrade as your brother. The beast that stole children away from their mothers so that he might consume them as easily as you consume your fruits. And you, with such rumored respect for life, name him brother," Tsuru practically spat the word, his speech thick with vitriol and hate. "Evidently your familial ties are not so easily severed."

"So tell me, Hero, why should I not send you and your Maiden to join your brother in death and use your corpses to lure Virizion to a similar fate? What makes you so different?", he asked, standing stock-still, weapon in hand, his eyes fixed upon Keldeo.

"I will not deny the blood that we shared regardless of his actions, to try and hide that would be an act of cowardice." He said "I do not deny that he was vile and cruel. But blood is blood."

"Ideal I would have seen him put on trial for his crimes, sentenced by the family of his victims." He said stepping aside to let the woman enter.

"And do not speak as if you know anything about the me!" He said swiping his sword and sending stream of water past Tsuru's ear.

"I have done everything I can to mitigate the suffering caused by the Court." He said.

"With my rebellion the Court lost nearly half of the so called Aberrants that they had planned to release...I set them back by nearly thirty years." He said.

"Had I not this world would have been over run long ago."

Tsuru put his free palm to his forehead, shaking his head. "If nothing else, your title is apt. You are young and foolish. To think that a monstrous beast such as Terrakion could be restrained to be put on trial and held to some sentence...," he said, shaking his head and putting away his whip.

"We do not live in an ideal world, little hero. You would do well to realize that and become accustomed to the reality of your situation. You are being hunted, and I, in turn, am hunting your pursuer. I intend to meet Virizion in combat and slay him for his crimes, and it would serve both of our interests to work together in this endeavor," he said, taking a few cautious steps closer to the young 'Noble'.

"If that prospect bothers your sensibilities, consider it a trial by combat against the sole survivor of a village that was wiped out by Virizion, on your King's orders. There, you have your trial, and sentencing by the family of the victims," he said plainly.

Keldo stood in silence clearly debating with himself.

"The man has a point." A soft female voice said. A young woman with long green hair walked out, she was wearing a dress that seemed to be woven of vines and flowers. She was a wisp of a girl, small and delicate. She looked to Tsuru with large soft blue eyes and a smile that had a gentle compassion to it.

"I know of the knight that hunts me...I intend to surrender to him once I am finished with my project." She said "I can sense that you bear a power much like my own, if you would help I can finish sooner."

"You cannot give yourself back to the Court!" Keldo snapped "How many of our friends were killed for speaking out against this war, for trying to aid you in the journey to this world!"

She smiled and softly patted his head.

"I have said this countless times before my single life has n value compared to the countless lives on this world, If my small sacrifice can aid even a hundred than I will be happy." She approached Tsuru, with each step flowers seemed to bloom and grass grew hardier.

"I am The Maiden Of Lush Fields, Shaymin." She said with a small bow.

"I welcome you to my small paradise."

Tsuru returned the bow, more out of habit than anything else, and once he realized he had bowed to a 'Noble' he felt a sense incredible distaste.

"Shaymin, Maiden of Lush Fields, your surrender to Virizion would be meaningless. Perhaps you did not hear, but I intend to kill him when next I encounter him," Tsuru said. "There will be nothing left for you to surrender to."

He was intrigued by the blooming of the foliage at her passing. "I do have abilitiess that grant me some dominion over nature, yes," Tsuru said with skepticism, "but I fail to see what it is you are trying to accomplish, beyond creating a lush grove of flowers and plants."

"I plan to surrender to him to buy a bit of peace, My life is very valuable to the Court." She said "By trading myself I will be able to convince them to leave a small part of the world untouched...It is far from ideal but even a hundred lives would be worth something would they not?"
